Viscosity Reviewbetter than Tunnelblick - Version: 0.6, 9/10/2008 05:08AM PST

It works fine but is not bug free yet.
When disconnecting from a vpn connection it leaves me without network. So I have to reconnect my physical network to get it up and running again. Just a minor annoyance, hopefully fixed in the release.

Viscosity ReviewStable, quick, & cheap - Version: 0.5, 7/25/2008 07:10AM PST

Stable app. Speed is as quick as if not quicker than Apple's built-in VPN option (which has proven necessary for me running an enterprise server where both Windoze users and Macs are logging in, given that Windoze [XP] still cannot do VPN L2TP (or PPTP!) out of the box reliably -- can't speak for Vista).

Price ($10 shareware, forthcoming) reasonable. GUI nice. Option for config. tweaks good.

Overall a good product.
