“Connection Delays and Limited Two-Factor Options Present Challenges for Users”

3.0
Sep 12, 2025
I have a few comments to this product - Connection and re-connection is pretty slow. It interrupts the connection for a couple of seconds. This could be immediate so I can connect to VPN during a meeting. - It doesn't support Yubikey for 2FA.

por momentos genera mucha latencia y desconexion

- It can't be fully automated. I use a script to dial it but it should be supported by default.

Dislike

GUI configuration client still uses Java. Sometimes GUI can be funky. Nesting in the UI can be odd.
