Posted on September 21, 2012 by VPN Instructions Editor Posted in Mac OS X: PPTP — 1 Comment ↓ For our instructions and tutorial, we are using the VPN services from Kovurt.com. You can use any service you like, but we prefer Kovurt.
Lately I discovered that connecting to a VPN via PPTP option has been removed in the new mac os - sierra.I tried multiple application to do so - all failed.How can I connect to my VPN over PPTP?
ps. I don't want to use L2TP because I don't have a pre shared key (I also don't know what it is).

The FlowVPN client is free (and works with any provider).
It supports PPTP and OpenVPN on macOS Sierra:
Just overwrite the FlowVPN server address with any server and it connects.
A.BadgerA.BadgerVPN PPTP in Sierra is dismissed because it is not a secure method of communication.To solve the problem; you can install software Shimo that works with the operating system Sierra

Torrent Client For Mac
OS X has a built in PPTP client.http://www.bol.ucla.edu/services/vpn/pptp/docs/macosx.html#leopardpp
Adam GibbinsAdam GibbinsI use Shimo, which is really simplifies the VPN management process. Macworld did a pretty good write up on the application in Aug of '07, but much of the article is still relevent: http://www.macworld.com/article/59355/2007/08/shimo.html It does nag you asking you to license it, but the application is fully featured even if you don't license it and you can easily minimize the nag window.
