I think this is a good point. The gallery touches on each but not really why you'd use one over the other.

Shrewsoft is the only IPSEC client listed

Realvdude 10th Oct

I did not have much luck using it to connect to a Netgear FVS114. I had to go looking when the Netgear client (from SafeNet) did not support Vista. I also use a Netgear SSL312, but Netgear never released a firmware update to include the client download that would support 64 bit Windows (Vista and newer). They do support newer OS on the enterprise level SSL device.
New connections now go on our OpenVPN virtual appliance (openvpn.net), at $50/yr for 10 user license; with simple client deployment, it was a no brainer decision to forget about Netgear.

why no info

TonyKl 10th Oct

I don't know why no additional info. Time and space constraints perhaps but the main point is to get the names and screenshots out there generating interest.
After several unseccessful attempts some years ago to get IPSEC on W2k and XP to connect to a Netgear VPN appliance. I'll happily try one of these since Netgear was charging ~$50 per seat client.

BTW Editor. Shrew is not spelled Shbre.

Is it really so simple?

Kevin@... 10th Oct

If it is so brain dead simple, perhaps you would let me hire you to figure out why I have had no success after dozens of hours of effort allowing remote internet access on my SBS 2008 server!
