Product Description:

IPSecuritas is a front-end of the Mac OS X IPSec subsystem built in the kernel and allows to configure and establish secure IP tunnels between your machine or network with a remote network (for example your office network) using the non-secure services offered by the Internet. IPSec is a well-defined and established IETF standard and is considered secure (as opposed to for example P2TP, which offers limited security).

What's new in this version:

X.509 certificates support
Tunnel status indication
ESP transport mode
Hostname for the remote IPSec device
AutoStart at system boot
Host to anywhere mode
Replace DNS settings while IPSec is active
Virtual local and remote IP addresses
Automatic initiation of the key exchange
Routing checks
Optionally stop IPSec if the computer goes to sleep, the network configuration changes or the application is quit
Better IKE logging
DHCP pass-through mode to allow DHCP lease updates while tunnel is active
AES 128, AES 192 and AES 256 available as phase 1 encryption methods
Main window is now resizable
It's now possible to force IPSecuritas to send a FQDN as USER_FQDN (necessary for some firewalls)

Bug Fixes
The following problems have been resolved:

IKE timeout customizable
DNS refresh after stopping IPSec working
Removed unsupported ciphering algorithms
FQDN and User FQDN distinction now works
Enhanced input field check
Fixed a possible crash at quit
Fixed wrong display of month in log
Made the default route detection more reliable
Adjusted default settings of new connections to meet most needs
Many more minor optical and functional fixes

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

Mac OS X 10.3

IPSecuritas - brilliant software! - Version: 3.4, 10/28/2009 07:25PM PST

I've been using IPSecuritas to connect to two different Juniper SSG-140 routers/security-devices (Melbourne office and Sydney office). IPSecuritas works beautifully. I was considering Equinux's "VPN Tracker" (expensive) but IPSecuritas does everything I need to do and for free!

The setup wizard works well and configures most of the settings required for my Juniper SSG-140 devices.

I found the Equinux documentation on configuring the Juniper SSG-140 helpful. The Equinux documentation goes into a bit more detail on setting up Extended Authentication (XAUTH) on the SSG-140. IPSecuritas supports Extended Authentication (XAUTH) nicely.

IPSecuritas - is fantastic.
I used version 3.1, then used the beta versions of 3.2 last year.
I've used it successfully connect to various Netgear VPN's FVG114P, FVS318, FVG318, FVS338.

The developer is very responsive. I'd recommend donating to help with the development - given what VPN tracker costs.

Works with SonicWALL TZ-170 !!! - Version: 3.1, 6/17/2008 10:22PM PST

Whoo-Hoo!! I'm finally able to connect to the SonicWALL TZ-170 at my client's location. This is a huge deal as the only other alternative was the WAY over-priced "VPN Tracker" software.

A big THANK YOU to the developer of IPSecuritas.
