Give Windows Applications Access to your VPN

Do you have Windows applications that require VPN access? VPN Tracker can
share your Mac’s VPN connection with VMware Fusion or Parallels Desktop.
You can can even start Windows programs directly from your Secure Desktop.

To add Windows applications to your Secure Desktop
‣ Click the triangle at the bottom of the Secure Desktop to

switch to edit mode

‣ Open a Finder window and go to your virtual machine’s

applications folder (e.g. Documents > Virtual Machines >
Your Windows Machine > Applications)

‣ Drag an application icon from the Finder onto your Secure Desktop
‣ Click the arrow again to leave edit mode

VPN Tracker will automatically establish a VPN connection and open your
Windows program in VMWare or Parallels whenever you click the new icon for
your Windows application on your Secure Desktop.

VMWare or Parallels needs to be installed on your Mac and set up
to share your Mac’s Internet connection so your Windows pro-
grams can use the VPN connection.
