Works well
Authored by: zadig on Apr 09, '02 08:42:10AM

I've used PiePants (stupid name, good product) to connect to my office VPN server (Windows NT 4) with good results. The only problem I've run into is that I can't get PiePants to even connect if Classic mode is active. (The author warns that classic apps can't use the VPN connection, but my problem goes beyond that... I wouldn't mind that they can't use it, but shutting down classic each time I need to VPN to work is kind of a pain.)

Other than that, it works well, and I recommend it (especially because it's the only OS X solution for PPTP VPN connections at the moment).

Not only solution...

This has been around for quite a while and also works well for me, although it only supports unencrypted connections: http://pptp.monitzer.com/ It allows Classic apps to use the network connection as well because it uses the PPP kernel modules instead of running it's own daemon. The author is supposedly working on similar product that supports encryption, but the 'beta coming soon' sign has been up a long time: http://www.gracion.com/vpn/
