We use their firewalls and vpn stuff. We literally have to reinstall their vpn software each time we want to connect as it breaks itself after each reboot.
- UserRights 12y agoThese kind of problems are solved for a long time: use open source software and then you can patch problems yourself if upstream is dead. Any responsible admin will not tolerate closed source black boxes dominating important pieces of infrastructure.
- jacquesm 12y agoSometimes you arrive after those black boxes have been bought and paid for.
- xorcist 12y agoAll the more reason to migrate to a supported solution, if they're already paid for. (OpenVPN is unbeatable in simplicity and price. I've migrated several pre-AnyConnect Cisco VPN users to it, which was finally EOL'd 2014 after several years neglect.)
- jacquesm 12y agoI've tried to get OpenVPN to work with a Palo Alto firewall and to date have not been able to, Palo Alto support is - to put it mildly - non-functional. Would not recommend Palo Alto.
