It is very nice, I am willing to change my windows version from 32 to 64. The main reason is the stupidity of the ultimate!!! edition being unable to use more than 3GB of the 4GB installed.

This app will help a lot, thanks

It isn't Windows that won't let you use above 3GB, it's the nature of 32bit.

@turtle1981, the nature of 32bits allows me to use up to 4GB of memory, Windows 32 bits does not, Linux 32 bits does, so it is not the nature of 32bits, it is the nature of windows ;)

I never had much luck with Shrew, but it's been a while since I tested.

I use VPNC Front End; http://sourceforge.net/projects/vpncfe/

VPNC is great, actually I used it under Linux with Gnome NetworkManager front-end, it works great and flawlessly. I never struggled using it, unlike my colleagues, they use Cisco VPN client under windows, they usually fight to get it work.

I did not know there is a win version, thanks Pervis.

I know you mentioned free VPN software, but I'd like to note that Cisco recenly released a beta version of it's IPSec VPN Client software for the Windows x64 platform. For those of you who still connect to the VPN 3000 Concentrator (like me) and were looking 64-bit support, Cisco has finally heard our cries.
