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:

  • Per connection statistics (menu Windows -> Statistics and menu bar item)
  • XAuth/Hybrid username and password query at start of IPSec (e.g. for SecureID)
  • More verbose log output in certain error situations
  • New option to suppress address conflict check (use with care).
  • Connections in error can now be restarted without interrupting other connections
  • Support for XAuth RSA
  • Added statistics window to menu bar item
  • Added log window to menu bar item
  • MTU of connecting interfaces can be decreased to address fragmentation problems
  • No more connection attempts are taken after a XAuth failure
  • Outgoing traffic is no longer routed through VM machine virtual interfaces (Parallels, VMWare)
  • Added backup and restore connection database functions
  • Additional connection wizard templates
  • Removed binding of configuration database to specific machine
Bugfixes:
  • Problems with password field in import/export of connections and certificates
  • Certificate without private key can no longer be exported in PKCS#12 format
  • Sanity check of import/export options for certificates
  • Signed certificate are now correctly assigned to their original requests
  • Import of 2.x connections recognises connection mode correctly
  • Connection surveillance now works reliably
  • Removed 'inappropriate ... message received' log message because it was misleading
  • Deleting the first of multiple local or remote addresses no longer corrupts the connection
  • Parallels virtual adapters are no longer used to connect to remote hosts
  • Disabled smart environment detection at startup
  • Improved environment detection delay
  • Reset statistics at stop of IPSec
  • Warning appears now when attempting to overwrite a file

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

Sam Venning
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.

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

w i n t e r m u t e--2008
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.
