What it does
Shimo is a Mac VPN client supporting protocols including WireGuard, OpenVPN, IPsec, AnyConnect and Fortinet, with certificate and token authentication options.
Shimo is useful when a Mac needs to connect to more than one kind of VPN endpoint. Its current protocol list spans WireGuard and OpenVPN alongside organizational gateway protocols, reducing the need for a separate client for each connection. It also documents certificate and one-time-token authentication. Begin with the endpoint's actual protocol and authentication requirements, then import or create that connection. The free download offer is a trial of the client, not a supplied VPN network.
