Tracker 3 differs from current VPN Tracker version 2.2 in a variety of ways.
The changes are aimed at improving the enduser experience and the ability to
utilize VPN Tracker in large VPN scenarios. Key changes include:
·
Extended Authentication (XAUTH): VPN Tracker now supports XAUTH as an
authentication mechanism. This allows multiple users to share the same
pre-shared key, while still allowing for restricted access to the central
network on an individual user basis. This presents an ideal solution for
larger VPN scenarios and makes VPN Tracker even more compatible to different VPN
gateways.
·
Improved Tunnel Stability: New version offers increased connection
stability to users with dynamic IP addresses and those utilizing their
computers' sleep mode function.
·
Redesigned User Interface: Among various improvements is a new tab
based connection window, user friendly toolbar in the main window, and a
detailed connection status description including customizable connection
icons.
·
Integrated How-to Guide: The user is now presented a list of all VPN
devices which are known to be compatible, ordered by vendor. You can click on
the device and you will have the option to pull up a How-to guide.
·
Remote DNS: With this option you are able to use nameservers in the
remote network. This allows access to remote servers by name instead of IP
address. You also have the choice of using the nameserver for all DNS queries
or for specific subnets only.
·
Simplified Network Setup: The network masks can now be entered in
standard dotted-decimal format (e.g. 255.255.255.0). You are still able to
enter it in the CIDR-notation as well. VPN Tracker 3 is available in two different editions: The Professional Edition and equinux Unveils New VPN Tracker 3, VPN Tracker 3 offers Extended Authentication (XAUTH) as a solution to large enterprises seeking to integrate VPN technology into their operations.
