Linux/Mac IPsec into Contivity?

David,

You have a couple of (limited) options:

1) Use a PPTP or L2TP client for Macintosh.  Network
Telesystems (www.nts.com) makes such a client.

2) Linux can use Free S/WAN to tunnel to the
Contivity, but it creates a branch office tunnel, and
not an end-user tunnel.  I think you must turn off
Perfect Forward Secrecy on Contivity v2.50 for this to
work.


Hope this helps!
Chris
