For Remote Work

Easily configure and setup VPN on your Mac

VPN Tracker is universal. It is not tied to a single VPN device, manufacturer, or proprietary solution. To make it even easier to connect, VPN Tracker supports various standards and vendor-specific protocols for automatic configuration and authentication.
Industry Standards

VPN Tracker is built on the industry standard IPsec protocol and is compatible with almost every IPsec-based VPN gateway. It also supports PPTP connections natively and can integrate OS X L2TP connections (VPN Tracker 365 only).

No need to worry about configuring IP addresses, remote networks, or various other settings - VPN Tracker connects your Mac to  your Cisco VPN gateway behind the scenes so you don't have to worry.

Mode Config

Whether you are connecting your Mac with a VPN to a NETGEAR, Juniper Networks or LANCOM VPN gateway, VPN Tracker can use Mode Config to automatically obtain IP addresses and DNS settings to take the hassle out of administrating multiple VPN users.


Simple Client Provisioning for SonicWALL

Strong encryption

VPN Tracker supports encryption up to AES-256 to satisfy even the most demanding requirements by military organizations, enterprises and government. And because encryption is only as strong as the weakest link, VPN Tracker's hash algorithms include SHA-2, and keys are negotiated with Diffie-Hellman (DH) Groups up to group 18 (8192 bit).

2-factor: Go beyond passwords

If you need more security than passwords can provide, VPN Tracker also offers support for two-factor authentication (2FA) based on X.509 certificates, smart cards, and PKI token. One-time passcode tokens, such as RSA SecurID, work great with VPN Tracker through Extended Authentication (XAUTH).
