Hi Kevin, Thanks for your follow up on this. I actually went ahead an went through the steps and installed the Mac OS X client (I am running 10.7.2 - Lion) and it works perfectly! Additionally I can still run other VPN (I've tried two different OpenVPN clients) services, and they still work as well -- even with the iked process running. AFAIK, I don't have any non-standard system configurations, so this should work on Lion without problems. Thanks! --Jaren _______________________________________________ vpn-help mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shrew.net/mailman/listinfo/vpn-help
