set up procedure for mac

[theduck]

Just wondering if you could post a separate guide for other mac os x 10.4+ users like me. I found a guide in a post here in the forums, (sorry can't remember which one it was now) that was very easy to follow and had me up running with out 3rd party software in less than 5 minutes.

cheers

Dear theduck,

Thank you very much for participating in our forums. Yes we can provide you with a MAC guide that can setup your connection WITHOUT installing any third party software.

Setting up vpn access under Mac OS X is quick and easy. The following instructions will take you step by step in setting up your account.

1. First go into system preferences then Network.

2. In the window listing your connections Click the + button.

3. In the pop up set the following Interface to VPN, VPN Type to L2TP over IPSec and Service Name to anything you want, for example PureVPN , click the Create button.

4. Leave Configuration set to Default, add any of the Server Addresses provided below and username/password as provided

[IP Addresses are provided to you when you sign up to the service]

5. Click the Authentication Settings button.

6. For User Authentication enter your Purevpn password.

For Machine Authentication enter as shared secret 12345678, click ok.

7. Tick the Show VPN status in menu bar box if it not already done.

8, Click the Advanced button.

9, Under options, tick the Send all traffic over VPN connection button, click ok.

10, Click Apply and close system preferences.

Your VPN connection you have just set up will now be available in the menu bar, click Connect to use. Repeat the above steps to add each server.
