VPN Tracker 5 seamlessly integrates with Mac OS X and guarantees the highest security level. It offers a new user interface, in addition to its many other enhancements that improve the workflow to access remote networks, databases and servers via the internet. VPN Tracker 5 is also able to automatically process standard tasks like checking for mails, mounting servers and opening databases with configurable actions. For network administrators, VPN Tracker 5 offers an automatic roll-out tool for large-scale deployment.

VPN Tracker uses the latest Technology

VPN Tracker 5 was created using Cocoa, Apple's state-of-the-art development framework, making the application ready for future improvements on the Mac OS X platform. Cocoa also allows for smooth interaction with Apple's current hardware, thus enabling VPN Tracker 5 to handle data encryption and authentication much faster over an IPSec based VPN tunnel. What's more, VPN Tracker 5 can now handle several VPN connections independently, offering much desired flexibility for power users.
