Testing VPN Interoperability

In our tests, we tested how each VPN product worked with every other VPN product tested, both in setting up initial secure connections and in maintaining long-term operations over days.

In this chart, products that could interoperate using X.509 Digital Certificates are labeled (CERT)and those thathad to drop back to the pre-shared secrets authentication method, are labeled PSS.
