There is an unexpected behaviour with Shimo 1.0.6: If you have a profile set to auto-connect based on SSID (eg. at work) and send your laptop to sleep while vpn still active, walk home and wake the system up, shimo will reconnect to the vpn although the network SSID has changed. It would be nice if shimo would not reconnect if it detects a change in the SSID upon wakeup from sleep, if the connection was started by SSID-Detection.

Sometimes Shimo takes a very long time to shut down a tunnel (I don't know why). After 60 seconds, I quit Shimo. However all custom routes (and the tun0 interface) were left behind. This is very annoying of course and then requires either a reboot or use of ifconfig and 'route delete'

Already version 1 of Shimo is a perfect client for Mac OSX. Congratulations for this great achievement.

What the Mac community desperately needs in the next step is Shimo for iPhone ("Shiphone?") a Cisco Client for (jailbreaked) iPhones. I am sure that Apple will officially open the phone for third party apps soon, because this increases the benefit of the iPhone for many users considerably.

The reason for proposing such a project is that:

- iphone runs Unix and the file structure is almaost like on the Mac, - iphone file structure is easily accessible vie SFTP .... (at least on jailbreaked phones), - the Cisco files are installed on the Unix level and - vpnclient can be even run without any front end from the terminal.

(Maybe because of my missing deeper insider knowledge,) I see the opportunity to transfer a Cisco Client installation without its bulky front end from a Mac to the iPhone with minimum or no modifications and to start and stop it via a command line tool.

If this really works, programming a lean and simple front end should not be such a big deal.

Any interest in such a developent? I would be happy to donate.

I happily use Shimo over launching the Cisco VPN client. My organization does not require a domain to be entered, however everytime I use Shimo I enter my authentication info and it always comes up with the error that I require domain info. I always hit ignore and everything works fine. Is it possible to make this a preference?

Whenever I try to start a connection to any IPSec device (in this case a Vigor 2930 but it happens with other devices as well), I get the attached error message. Simply put, it just doesn't work.

When using Shimo in conjunction with VMWare there seems to be a connectivity problem in bridged mode. This means that if you select "bridged" mode instead of "NAT" mode within VMWare you cannot connect.\

Any version of VMWare shows the same issue

Attempting to connect using a CiscoVPN profile that worked fine in 2.0.5, I receive "Bad Parameter" error on connection attempt.

With Lancom ipsec device i get errors when using mode config. Using IPSecuritas this also fails, while VPN tracker works flawless, but thought this also uses the Racoon stack. Could you please test this? I could send you a lancom router on request for testing purposes. Your app is a very nice and affordable piece of work, and i would be more than happy to make some profiles for Lancom devices.

The Shimo profiles on my MacBook aren't being synced to my desktop Mac although both are configured to sync Shimo profiles through MobileMe.

I tried to install AnyConnect 2.2.0140 because I want to connect via AnyConnect to some Cisco VPN. Unfortunately, when I install AnyConnect, the vpn.pkg installer will fail; the script "postflight" aborts abnormally every time.

This is its output:

14:55:47 admin@foo:/Volumes/vpn-2.2.0140/vpn.pkg/Contents/Resources$ sudo ./postflight
Password:
Starting Cisco TUN kernel extension...
kextload: kmod_control/start failed for com.cisco.cscotun; destroying kmod
kextload: a link/load error occured for kernel extension /System/Library/Extensions/tun.kext
link/load failed for extension /System/Library/Extensions/tun.kext
(run kextload with -t for diagnostic output)

I think the reason is that Shimo already installed this extension (or, an extension with the same name). If I uninstall Shimo completely (http://www.shimoapp.com/faq.html), I can install and use AnyConnect smoothly afterward. However, then Shimo will fail to establish a connection to any VPN (after reinstalling it, of course).

After removing AnyConnect and Shimo, restarting, and installing Shimo, Shimo will work again.

I use SSH connections with SOCKS. For this purpose I set up a new location in the network preferences, where I tell my Mac to use the SOCKS proxy. As long as I switch the location manually everything is fine. If Shimo switches the location automatically it does not respond anymore, nevertheless the connection works. This happens only with SSH connections. If Shimo switches my location upon Cisco or OpenVPN connect, there is no problem.

When trying to connect to a Fritz!Box 7270 using IPSec, Shimo starts to establish the connection, but never succeeds. It just says "connecting" till I quit. Using VPNTracker connecting is no problem. I attached the log files for the current version and the current beta version. Thanx

Shimo does not automatically reconnect when a PPTP VPN connection breaks down. I have "Automatic Reconnection" and "Enable Automatic Redialing" turned on in the VPN profile settings. It does seem to try and reconnect after wake-up, though.

SSH has an option (-i on command-line) to authenticate by a key generated by ssh-keygen. My SSH hosts require that authentication be performed this way. Can support for this be added?

Thanks.

I've just downloaded Shimo version 2.0.4.2 for testing purposes.

So far the software looks very mac-ish and has a lot of functionality. But it has one major drawback. As far as I can see it allows only one connection at a time!

Usually I have many parallel ssh connections open. Currently that's not possible with Shimo. I would like to have the following combinations:

• multiple parallel SSH connections through VPN (OpenVPN and Cisco)
• multiple parallel SSH connection without VPN

Hope this can be realized somehow. Thanks.

I'd love to see some documentation on how to get netgear vpn servers to work. I tried but failed since i couldn't read anything out of the log files.

Looks like a good product. Sadly it didn't work for me this time.

" If you know any protocol not supported by Shimo, please let us know..."

Does it support Apani Netlock / Nortel Contivity VPN?

That's what we use currently on our Macs for corporate access.

On the "Notifications" tab there seems to be no way to "Preview" the sound. It's also not possible to revert the notifications back to default or to the last saved preference. Because I don't know what the connection established sound sounded like in the first place, the user would have to guess at one.

It would be good if you could preview each action to see what they look/sound like, as well as providing the option to revert to defaults/last saved.

It may be best to have an OK button that applies the current choice, a cancel which reverts to last OK'd (saved) and a Defaults to set the application defaults.

When using the Windows Cisco VPN client, I can connect to a Cisco gateway by just using a group username and group password.

It would be good in the profile setup of Shimo if you could create a VPNC entry without having to enter the normal username and password details. Authentication works fine with any random username and an empty password (although Shimo does prompt whether you would like to ignore the fact that an empty password is being used). If the user clicks on 'Do no warn me again', it's not clear if that is just for this profile (if so there should be a config option on the profile pane to say 'allow empty password') or if it will affect all future choices (which wouldn't be good).

I do some kind of bad thing with Shimo. The possibility to let Shime choose a system config set depending on which networks are around me is great! I use it to assign different sets to different WLans. ('wlan1' -> Home, 'wlan2' -> Work, 'wlan3' -> Girlfriend's home) Therefore I created SSH Profiles connecting to 127.0.0.1 w/ no username/password. Everything works really well, but it's annoying to have 12 options when clicking the neat Shime icon next to my clock.

I'd love an option "[ ] Hide Profile in Short-Cut list" or something like that. My workaround is to name all these profiles like "xWlan-Home", what really sucks! :)

Recently purchased and upgraded my copy of Shimo.

Since the latest upgrade I keep getting: 'Failed to establish a VPN connection,' for Cisco connections (Cisco version 4.9.01 (0100)).

Very annoying and the logs are not giving me any specific guidance.

Look forward to your suggestions.
