Equinux has released VPN Tracker 5.3, the newest version of its IPSec-based VPN client for Mac OS X. The upgrade supports Mode Config for Netgear VPN gateways to simplify the administration of VPN connections.
VPN Tracker 5.3 is capable of using Mode Config for Netgear gateways to simplify VPN configuration. Mode Config permits VPN Tracker to automatically obtain its IP address from the VPN gateway. Administrative effort and costs for users of Mode Config-capable Netgear VPN gateways FVS338, FVX538, FVS336G, DGFV338 and FVS124G are reduced, according to the folks at Equinux. In addition, VPN Tracker 5.3 provides improved device profiles for the most popular VPN gateways, as well as a new device profile for SonicWALL NSA 2400 devices.
VPN Tracker 5.3 integrates even better into Mac OS X. The user interface contains improvements designed to make everyday work with VPN Tracker easier. Additionally, VPN Tracker 5.3 corrects numerous smaller mistakes; for example, compatibility with PPPoE-connections has been enhanced, as well as the application of RSA secure ID tokens.
VPN Tracker 5.3 is a free update for all registered users of VPN Tracker 5. New licenses for VPN Tracker 5 are available at the Equinux Online Store starting at €69 (approximately US$97).
