Juniper VPN

[icrash]

I am having a different kind of problem. I use Junos Pules to connect to my company's VPN. Recently I upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite, and now, whenever I turn the VPN on, my computer freezes to the point that even stops writing the system.log file (I think).
After a couple of minutes within connecting to VPN, I am unable to open any app. The already open ones are barely usable. In fact, I can't even restart from the menu. I have to do a hard restart.
I have already tried:
- upgrading Java to version 8u25
- clearing temp files from Java pref pane
- reinstalling Junos Pulse multiple times
- reseting PRAM
- Repair Disk permissions in safe mode
- using VPN via Safari/Chrome
- setting kext arguments (sudo nvram boot-args="kext-dev-mode=1")
- checking that my wifi is in DHCP mode

One odd symptom I have noticed is that while in the freeze mode, if I try to access system.log, it gives me access denied error. I am an admin user and can access the log while not in this freeze mode.

My system config:
Junos Pulse v5.0.5
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013)
Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel Iris 1536 MB

I am now out of options. Does anybody have any options that I can try before a clean re-install of Yosemite?

..I've the same behaviour:
- OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
- Java 8 Update 31
- Junos Pulse 5.0.3 (44471)

...after I connect to the VPN network everything starts to freeze and I can only do a hard power off...

...my current workaround is to stop Safari and Chrome (if they are running) and use Firefox (v35.0)...with FF I have no issues and the system does not freeze...

...as a side note: I don't know if it hast todo something with the issue but for an other reason I had to change the following setting for the corp. network: "network.negotiate-auth.allow-insecure-ntlm-v1=true"

Thanks. I met the same problem on my mbp runs 10.10.2, and installing JunosPulse and then upgrading it (during the first connection) solves my problem.

Ok guys...found an alternative to network connect. I found pulse by juniper and it works like a charm for me on yosemite. Here is a link to it:

Above is what you will see. I download JunosPulse.dmg, however you can go to the "DIR" links to download NC...which still didn't work for me. But pulse is great, I don't even have to go to the sslvpn company page.

Anyway give it a go...I am stoked right now! No need to work on that PC given to me from work.

Good luck!
