SHIMO, an extremely well done CISCO compliant VPN Client for OSX

Since I moved to OSX, one ugly and unstable tool that I had to live with, was the Cisco VPN client. Being completely unhappy with this Cisco little app, I was always looking for an alternative and few days ago I found it: SHIMO.

Shimo has many reasons to be the best choice for OSX, and I'll just quote few:

... full Cisco compatibility
... saves passwords in your keychain
... automatic (re-)connect on wakeup, network-changes, etc
... global shortcuts for fast connect/disconnect
... stable and well integrated with the OSX. Better than the Cisco VPN client
... statistics screen

And the feature I also love: it can be easily integrate with growl for notifications.

If you already have a CiscoVPN connection defined, SHIMO will import your previous settings and use them right away.

I love it!

Goodbye Cisco :)
