I’m looking for a Windows 7 compatible IPSec VPN client that allows protocol and port specific rules as well as an aggressive mode. On Windows XP and Vista we’ve used SafeNet SoftRemote in which you can set up rules for specific protocols and ports. But SoftRemote isn’t compatible with Windows 7. 172.xxx.xxx.1 TCP 1433 172.xxx.xxx.2 TCP 1433 172.xxx.xxx.10 ALL … Since the VPN gateway is configured this way the client must mirror these settings. I’ve [...]

I’m considering investing in a Cisco ASA5505. As Cisco’s own VPN client requires a service subscription, which I am trying to do without, are there any free or low-cost ipsec VPN clients that will work with the ASA and run on Windows XP? Is XP’s built-in ipsec client compatible? Any links to guides and walkthroughs would be much appreciated. Install a virtual server inside the remote network and use RRAS for VPN on it. Then [...]

We use a Cisco ASA 5505 as the firewall and IPSec VPN endpoint on our network. We use split-tunneling to reduce the load on our internet link. In other words, when someone is connected to the VPN their DNS queries go through our internal DNS server, and all traffic for hosts that resolve to 10.0.0.0/8 is sent through the tunnel. Other traffic is sent through their local internet gateway. This has worked well for IPv4 [...]

I try to vpn from my home network to my company network and this has always worked well until yesterday when I installed a Cisco ASA 5505 at home. Now I can not connect from my home network to my work with the cisco VPN client any more, or to be specific, I can connect, but no service seems to work (remote desktop etc). I’m a total ASA noob so I have no idea really [...]

Update: My client forgot to forward an email from peak10 (with the IPs for two servers)! Since I and some other people have put in some efforts (either way ), let me document the steps to get VPN connected on windows: Install: http://forticlient-ssl-vpn.software.informer.com/ Ask tech support for the address to use for connection, it may be different than the other IPs you have got. You will need a username and a password. You can keep [...]
