Hey all, I want to get into a CheckPoint VPN-1 and not sure how to go about it. Instructions point to a Secure Remote client for Windows XP, but obviously I don't have that. Can anyone shed some light?

Sincerely,
Mel

I thought someone wrote a VPN client for Cisco and OSX. Maybe hit up VersionTracker.

For our MS VPN's things work with Internet Connect in OSX.

There are several VPN technologies around, any of which can run on Mac OS X, you just need to know which one you need.

Check with the network administrators to see if you're using IPSec, PPTP, L2TP, or something else.

Internet Connect.app has a built-in PPTP client, and there are several third-party IPSec clients around, too. Between them, these two technologies cover the vast majority of VPN setups.

Ah, we're talking about VPN (Virtual Private Network), not VNC...?

Internet Connect - Start new VPN session... works fine.

Cisco is only for Cisco VPN's
