Cisco VPN Replacement On Win7 x64 RTM

We use an older VPN at the office, and there’s still no x64 client from Cisco that will allow me to connect (we use IPsec over UDP). I had found a link to a product called Secure Entry by NCP (located here : make sure you get the beta Win7 compatible client or later). It worked just fine except that it’s $144. Sub ideal. I happened across a free client that, while in alpha state, is so far working 100%. It’s made by Shrew Soft and you can grab it here. Note that I’m using 2.2.0-alpha-9. IMPORTANT: The 2.1.5-rc-2 client BSOD’d my machine. So try the latest 2.2.0 branch first. I’ve been using it consistently for two days now and have had no problems updating my Perforce repository, connecting to Outlook, SharePoint, and internal shares and servers/tools.
