Oct 22, 2014 I'm running Yosemite (OS X 10.10) on a MacBookPro 15' Mid 2010. From the very first pre-release up to now with the first official Yosemite version I've experienced PPTP issues. If I set up my (local) ethernet card manually PPTP does not work. If I leave it as full DHCP, then PPTP does work.
Setting up your PPTP VPN under Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Setting up PublicVPN access under Mac OS X 10.5 is simple. The following instructions go step–by–step through the creation process.
System Requirements
Before setting up the VPN, be sure your installation is up–to–date by running Software Update. At the time of this writing the latest Mac OS X version was 10.5.1.
Open the Network Control Panel
First, open the System Preferences by going to the Apple menu and choosing 'System Preferences.' Or choose 'System Preferences' from the Dock.
Next, click on the 'Network' system preference.
Make a new connection
In the 'Network' system preference there is a list of network connections on the left side. Click the '+' icon (hilighted in red) to make a new connection for the VPN.
Set the Interface to 'VPN' and set the Connection Type and Name
When you click the '+' icon, a new service sheet appears. Click on the 'Interface' popup menu to see the list of choices.
In the list, select 'VPN'.
The 'VPN Type' should automatically be set to 'L2TP over IPSec', as seen in the picture below. Click on the 'VPN Type' popup menu.
Choose 'PPTP'
Next, set the Service Name to 'PublicVPN.com (PPTP) by typing into the green box (see below).
The screen should now look like this. Click 'Create' to create the new connection.
Make a New Configuration
Now that you have a VPN connection, you'll need to make a Configuration for it. Click the 'Configuration' popup menu.
If you've set the VPN up before, you may see configurations in the list. Be sure to click 'Add Configuration..' to add a PublicVPN.com configuration (see below).
In the next screen, type 'PublicVPN.com' for the configuration name. Then click 'Create'.
Set Server and Account Info
Now that we've created the configuration, we can start entering your VPN information.
Norton ghost 11.5 bootable iso download. In the green box, enter 'gateway.publicvpn.net' as the 'Server Address.'
In the blue box, enter your PublicVPN.com username as the 'Account Name.'
Then, click on the 'Authentication Settings..' button. A new sheet drops down.
In the blue box, enter your PublicVPN.com password as the Password.
When you're done, click 'OK'
Adjust Advanced Settings
Next, we'll need to adjust some of the advanced VPN settings. To do that, first click the 'Advanced..' button. See the screen below for its location (it's hilighted in red).
For the VPN to work effectively, the 'Send all traffic over VPN connection' checkbox should be marked. In the screen below, it's hilighted in green. Make sure the checkbox is checked.
Optionally, check the 'Use verbose logging' option, hilighted in blue. That will make it easier to see what's happening if you are having connection problems.
When you're done checking the options, click the 'OK' button.
Applying the changes
To actually save the configuration, click the 'Apply' button in the bottom right of the window.
Now when you want to connect to the VPN, you can either choose the VPN configuration from the VPN menu or select your VPN connection in the connection list and click the 'Connect' button (see below).
How to restore PPTP VPN Access back to Mac OS Sierra
If you’ve recently upgraded to Mac OS Sierra you may have noticed that your VPN settings have been deleted during the upgrade process. Upon trying to enter the VPN settings again you may notice that there is NO PPTP option. Unfortunately Apple has removed the PPTP client from Mac OS Sierra due to PPTP lacking the security features of other VPN protocols.
As stated by Apple:
If you’ve set up a PPTP VPN server, iOS 10 and macOS Sierra users won’t be able to connect to it. iOS 10 and macOS Sierra will remove PPTP connections from any VPN profile when a user upgrades their device.
Even though PPTP protocol is still available on iOS 9 and earlier or OS X El Capitan and earlier, we don’t recommend that you use it for secure, private communication.
For those who this has come as a surprise and need to regain PPTP VPN access on Mac OS Sierra you’ll need to use a third party VPN Client to regain access to your PPTP servers. Below is a list of PPTP VPN Clients for Mac OS Sierra which will restore PPTP VPN access back to your Mac:
- Shimo VPN – Free Trial Available
As we find more PPTP VPN Clients we’ll update this list
Update: 7/10/16. We are still looking for other PPTP VPN Client alternatives for macOS Sierra but we haven’t been able to find any either paid or free. At this point Shimo VPN is the only one we can find available. If you know of any others please let us know in the comments.
