For MacOSX: While it's good to avoid vendor VPN drivers at all costs, as being universally horrendous and buggy, damaging to system stability at the least (and, given kexts crashing, this is strongly suggestive of being exploitable) you can actually get decent third-party VPN client software. We're using VPN Tracker; <http://www.vpntracker.com/>. Seems solid and reliable, I've yet to have an issue. It's not cheap when viewed as a utility, but when you weigh it against lost productivity from broken laptops in the field, it's a no-brainer. Pricing for the Player client, which can import settings files created by one of the other clients: <https://www.equinux.com/eqnetwork/store/products/vpntracker_player.html> Netgear known-compatibility list: <http://www.vpntracker.com/us/vendor/6/netgear-mac-vpn-client.html> So yeah, I loath software drivers written by hardware companies. In this case, someone's filling the niche in the market created by all that bad software. -Phil _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
