⚔️ Sangfor VPN vs Standard IPSec VPN — Which one do you deploy in real projects and why?

A question that always comes up in projects: should I use Sangfor VPN or standard IPSec?

Here's what I know from the NSF documentation:

IPSec VPN
• Industry standard, works with any vendor (FortiGate, Cisco, etc.)
• Requires at least one static public IP
• No tunnel NAT support

Sangfor VPN
• Hub-and-spoke topology with HQ as the center
• Works even when BOTH sides have dynamic IPs (via Webagent)
• Supports tunnel NAT, multi-line load balancing, and multicast
• Sangfor-only — no cross-vendor compatibility

My question to the community: In your real deployments, which do you prefer? Have you ever had a situation where one saved you when the other failed?

I used Sangfor VPN because the majority of my clients could only access the app server.

We Use IPSec when need cross-vendor compatibility or for external/third-party connections, and VPN for internal.
