Freeware - Shrew Soft VPN Client

Today I would like to mention this free client VPN that is usable and working fine if you need to connect through VPN and having a .pcf file for that.

 In my case I was seeking for an alternative Anyconnect client free software version.

 https://www.shrew.net/download/vpn

There are Linux and Windows versions.

 At the same time  Shrew Soft VPN Client for Windows is available in two different editions, Standard and Professional. 
  1. The Standard version provides a robust feature set that allows the user to connect to a wide range of open source and commercial gateways. It contains no trial period limits, nag screens or unrelated software bundles. It is simply free for both personal and commercial use
  2. The Professional edition offers additional features that may be helpful for users connecting to a corporate LAN. It is installed by default with a 14 day evaluation period limit. To use the Professional edition after the evaluation period has expired, a client license may be purchased from the Shrew Soft Shop.
