VPN for Mac 64bit

a08hilor69 · ‎05-30-2011

Hi,

I need to buy a firewall for my company and have set my eyes on ASA 5510. However we want to use IPSec both as firewall to firewall VPN and for staff vorking from home.

If i understand right i need to set up a VPN client on the users machine at home to be able to use the IPSec solution. Ist this the case?

I have a few mac users running 64bit OS and it seems that this is not supported by any cisco VPN client. Can anyone recomend a workaround to this problem other than anyconnect as i want to use IPSec. For exemple, is it possible to use another client? or to do it with out a client with some built in Mac VPN?

Thanks in advance for your help.

IPsecuritas (free) and VPNTracker (paid) both apparently support 64-bit kernels. I have used the latter and it has a useful configuration guide for the ASA. I'm not sure if IPsecuritas is still in development. There is also a built-in client in OS X.
