As the title says, I need to find a IPSec VPN client for Windows 7.
On XP and Vista we've used SafeNet SoftRemote in which you can set up rules for specific protocols and ports. But SoftRemote isn't compatible with Windows 7.

172.xxx.xxx.1 TCP 1433
172.xxx.xxx.2 TCP 1433
172.xxx.xxx.10 ALL
...

Since the VPN gateway is configured this way the client must mirror these settings. I've tried TheGreenBow, NCP Secure Entry, Cisco VPN Client and Shrew Soft VPN but none of these allows you to configure by protocol and port.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

EDIT: Forgot to mention that agressive mode is also a requirement.

--UPDATE--
I've got some news...
I've managed to get SoftRemote to work on Windows 7 x64 through Windows XP Mode. After scouring all corners of the Internet for idéas I had enough information to construct a working solution.

This solution will probably benefit other clients as well!

You'll find a post here with detailed instructions of how I went about.
