Re: Are third-party IPSec services better than native Windows IPSec?

It might depend on what you mean by "just as good". Windows IPSec is
going to be as reliable if not more so. IPSec is defined by standards,
so I doubt if there is a significant difference in capability and
functionality. If I was building a product that depended on an IPSEC
service I'd use the one that's more widely available and free to boot.

For what its worth,
