Which IPsec/IKEv1 engine should I use? - KH2428

Frequently Asked Questions

Which IPsec/IKEv1 engine should I use?
 
VPN Tracker on macOS supports two different IPsec/IKEv1 engines. Unless you have a specific reason, we recommend using the modern engine.
  • Modern engine:
    • Offers improved support for Fritz!Box devices.
    • Offers improved support for SonicWall devices.
    • Is actively maintained and will receive more improvements in the future.
  • Legacy engine:
    • Has been the default in VPN Tracker up to version 26.1.
    • Will not receive new features.
You can change the engine in the VPN Tracker app preferences. A change is in effect immediately and will be used for the next IPsec/IKEv1 connection start; currently running connections are not affected.
