shrew, an alternative to Cisco VPN Client

Recently I had to install an IPsec Remote Access VPN client on a Windows7 64-bit system.

If You are looking for an alternative to the usual Cisco client, in my opinion shrew is a good alternative. You can download the client software for free (obviously donations are welcome).

Yesterday I get the error
“session terminated by the gateway”
and my end-point logged a

“Mismatch: Overriding phase 2 DH Group(DH group 0) with phase 1 group(DH group 2)”

after giving my username/password

I solved this issue setting to “group 2” the Phase 2->PFS exchange value in my settings.
