I really wanted to love it, because it's a lot of promised functionality for a great price, but I'm extremely disappointed in this purchase.įirst of all, the SSL VPN does not work correctly on a Mac. Do not buy Watchguard if you need Mac support. Well, here we are a few weeks later, and I'm reporting in as promised.Īnd the verdict is. That being said, I'm happy to report I have no coexistence issues. I do find myself disappointed that a standard hasn't developed for delivering an SSL/TLS VPN that would permit use of a single, possibly OS integrated, client. VPN delivered over TCP 443 are really quite convenient as some places (companies, hotels, etc) limit outbound ports, including UDP/TCP 5 preventing IPSEC negotiation. I'm still trying to pin this down as it's a pain for my clients. The biggest issue I have is that the NetExtender client doesn't always correctly set the appropriate DNS server or search domain, so name resolution doesn't always work as expected. They're all effective with few to no issues. I can't speak to the WatchGuard SSLVPN solution, but I use Cisco An圜onnect SSLVPN, SonicWALL NetExtender SSLVPN (both with their SMB SSLVPN appliances and their firewalls), and SonicWALL's Aventail Connect with their enterprise SSLVPN appliances all on a weekly basis with my 2009 17" MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard.
