IPsec client free

Hello guys,

I have Sophos UTM home edition, last version. Is there any free remote IPsec VPN client that can be used for Sophos?

As I saw, Sophos IPsec client has a subscription and i only have 2 users accessing the VPN. It would be pointless to buy the subscription for home use.

I prefer IPsec solution, not the SSL VPN.

Thanks

Hi panicos

Unfortunately, IPsec VPN client requires a license. The only free remote access VPN clients available are SSL, L2TP over IPsec, PPTP & Cisco VPN.

Thanks,

Karlos

Hi panicos,

Karlos is right, IPSEC VPN clients are mostly licensed, although ShrewSoft is a Free IPSec VPN client, but it is open source. I also haven't used it, so cannot guarantee it is flawless or that it will work correctly (you may have to do some testing first).

If you wait a few months, IKEv2 is about to be released for the UTM, and Windows can use this OOTB..

Great news, JasonFell. Didn't know IKEv2 will be released. Will it be available through a firmware update or will it need full reinstall?

I believe it will just be an update not a full install (that might cause issues with all the Sophos Admins out there who have been waiting a very long time for this), although Sophos has this on their road-map, I can only imagine the issue they are having getting it working.

It's meant to be due out early next year.
