Need 64 bit VPN for Windows 7

[Techie]

Hello All,

I'm looking for a 64 bit VPN client that supports Windows 7, I am testing NCP VPN right now, we like it, but it's rather expensive (our "cost" is 210$ per computer).

Does any one know of a less expensive VPN solution for Windows 7/64 Bit?

Many Thanks - Darion

I'm going to answer my own question!

I've just discovered a FREE alternative that works.

It's from Shrew Net Inc, Unfortunately I can't post the URL on this forum due to a newbie POST restriction with TechNibble.?

Shrew Soft inc. , the 64 Bit VPN just came out of Beta and supports all flavours of Windows, including Windows 7/64 Bit!

Tested and seems rock stable, a nice alternative to NCP.

I used the built in import function and utilised my existing cisco .pcf file so migrating from NCP was seamless.

Cheers - Darren

Can't you use PPTP native to Windows?

Thanks,

PPTP was just not an option, not secure enough for my clients needs,and no support for encryption..not to mention full of security holes.

Correct, the built-in Mickeysoft VPN stuff has always been chronic, only good enough for sheople ticking off features in a list I suppose

Well done with finding Shrew (and thanks for giving me the heads up,
I've been waiting on their updated version): it took me 4 years before I bothered to go and find them: Cisco can be very addictive
