Check out all technical details and system requirements.
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 industry standard VPN protocols and supports IPsec, as well as L2TP and PPTP-based VPNs (365 only). This lets VPN Tracker work with almost any VPN gateway brand.


Cisco EasyVPN

If you're working with Cisco devices, configuration of your Mac is a snap with VPN Tracker's support for Cisco EasyVPN connections. 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

Simple Client Provisioning will automatically detect your SonicWALL VPN gateway and give VPN Tracker what it needs to connect - all you need is to enter your SonicWALL's public IP address, or host name, and VPN Tracker does the rest on your Mac.

Mobile User VPN for WatchGuard

VPN Tracker for Mac works great with WatchGuard's easy-to-configure Mobile User VPN. IP addresses and DNS settings are automatically transmitted to VPN Tracker making the rollout of VPN connections a breeze.


Hybrid Mode Authentication

VPN Tracker supports Hybrid Mode Authentication - not just for CheckPoint. This is a definite advantage for many Mac users, in particular with Checkpoint or any other VPN gateway that supports Hybrid Mode Authentication.

VPN Tracker employs the highest security standards

VPN Tracker is built with the security of your network connections on your Mac in mind. We have integrated the latest security standards to make VPN Tracker secure and ready for the future – no matter what edition of VPN Tracker you're using.
Solid OS X foundation

Security is the top priority for VPN Tracker and it uses everything OS X has to offer in terms of security: Your passwords are stored securely in keychain, and VPN Tracker takes advantage of the latest innovations in OS X security – code signing, 64 bit, XPC services, and more – to safeguard your data.

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).

VPN Shortcuts - Get more done over VPN

VPN Tracker gives you one-click access to the files, documents and applications you need to do your work over your VPN connections. Build your own VPN Shortcuts and improve productivity for yourself and the VPN Tracker users you support.
