VPN Tracker is built on the industry standard IPsec protocol. Thus it's compatible with almost every IPsec-based VPN gateway. And if you also need to use OS X L2TP or PPTP connections, you'll be able to control them all from one place with VPN Tracker Pro.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 365 supports OpenVPN connections on numerous VPN gateways. Discover more from our Compatibility Guides. You can also easily import your existing OpenVPN connections to use in VPN Tracker 365 thanks to the convenience of .ovpn configuration files.

With VPN Tracker 365, you can seamlessly connect to any SonicWALL SSL VPN – all you need is a server address and domain to get started. VPN Tracker 365 offers full compatibility with MobileConnect and NetExtender style SonicWALL SSL VPN connections.

OpenVPN and SonicWALL SSL connections can be used simultaneously alongside IPSec, L2TP, or PPTP connections in VPN Tracker 365 Pro and VIP.

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.

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).

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 Tracker's VPN Shortcuts make it easy to organize your daily remote tasks: Just add shortcuts for the applications, file servers and other data you need for everyday tasks and workflows.

VPN Shortcuts let you focus on your tasks and get work done. Forget about connecting your VPN before you open a database or access a server – just click your VPN Shortcut and VPN Tracker takes care of the rest.

VPN Shortcuts not only streamline your workflow, but can also become part of your corporate identity: simply customize your VPN Shortcut collection background with your company logo or corporate design.

In addition to standard items such as applications, servers and websites, VPN Shortcuts can be fully customized with AppleScripts and Automator workflows. Use VPN Shortcuts to make even the most complex tasks simple for your users.

Every client and project is different - create multiple VPN Shortcut collections and manage each individually. Have everything neatly organized and ready to go when you have to dive in and fix a problem on your customer's network.

VPN Tracker is a universal security solution for every Mac, making it possible to integrate virtual machines and remote desktop applications to your VPN Shortcuts, including Parallels, VMWare, Apple Remote Desktop, Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection, VNC and CoRD.

Connection Safe adds an additional level of security to your connections: all your connection details are encrypted using a highly-secure key (Argon3 + PKTNY) that only you can unlock.

The Network Scanner automatically recognizes different kinds of devices and operating systems within your VPN and groups devices and services accordingly.

Display scan results by IP address, host name and operating system, or sort according to services. Filtering and website previews give you an instant overview of the remote network you're securely connected to by VPN.

Track and export a log of all your VPN connections, including connection times, IP addresses, traffic, and duration. Add comments for later reference and export to your billing or time-tracking tool.

As an administrator or consultant, you have total control over the security settings for your VPN users. Whether passwords can be saved or settings seen or altered, is entirely up to you.

Long lists of licence keys to manage your team are a thing of the past. Just invite your team members via email and provide them with the VPN connection. That's it.

VPN Tracker team management makes it easy to manage team members, assign plans and will even ping admins as soon as a new member joins. Plan and manage your roll-out via an easy to use web interface.

If a MacBook ever gets lost or stolen, there’s a risk that remote access to your network could fall into the wrong hands. With VPN Tracker 365 Remote Connection Wipe, you can prevent unauthorized VPN access by remotely deleting the connection.

Remote Connection Wipe offers additional security by removing information about your VPN infrastructure. It also has the added benefit of allowing you to block VPN access for an individual user without having to distribute a new connection to your entire team.

VPN Tracker 365 Remote Wipe is designed and built to work without having any information about your connections. This gives you the convenience of remote access control, without exposing your connection information to cloud servers.
