I would probably have to get deep in the weeds of esoterica debugging what is actually causing my problems and figuring out a workaround - because I can’t change the Cisco server software. In any case, just building my own raccoon doesn’t imply it would work any better.

I have a suspicion that Cisco is doing something that is not strictly standards compliant. I’m not even sure that this is racoon’s fault.

One option is to obtain the latest source code for racoon(8) and try to build it and replace the system version with a newer one or have a parallel version. OK, not all of these are significant issues but the random disconnects and unreliable subnet route configuration is a serious problem. I also hate the bizarre rectangle with some vertical lines VPN status icon in the menu bar.I have to authenticate with a password manually every time I want to connect.The built-in VPN client does not reconnect automatically and.Routes for subnets within the vpn are not reliably configured.It doesn’t work as well as one would hope.

What the OS X IPSec GUI does is dynamically generate raccoon config files and invoke the raccoon binary as root for you when you click connect. We’ve been trying to use it since OS X 10.8 “Lion” without a lot of success. Theoretically, there is a Cisco IPSec VPN client built into OS X based on raccoon(8) from the KAME project which ended in 2006. My company works with a client site that uses a Cisco ASA-based IPSec VPN for remote access. Decem14 Comments OS X Built-in Cisco IPSec VPN Sucks
