If you upgraded your Mac to macOS 10.12 Sierra or your iPhone to iOS 10 you might be surprised that PPTP client is not on the list when adding VPN interface. Apple will no longer support PPTP client starting from macOS Sierra and iOS 10. Alternatively you can switch to use L2TP VPN over IPSec which offers better and more secure connection.
In previous post I have shown you how to configure Mikrotik as an L2TP VPN server. We will use the account configured on the Mikrotik as the login account.
Follow the below step by step on how to setup L2TP over IPSec on macOS Sierra
1. Open System Preferences then select Network
In the Network settings, click the + (plus) button to create a new service (we will create a new VPN service)
2. Select the interface for the new service
To create a new VPN service, configure the interface as below;
3. Enter the VPN server address and your account
Make sure the L2TP VPN server has been correctly configured. If you use Mikrotik, you can follow my previous post on how to configure Mikrotik as L2TP VPN server.
4. Configure the Authentication Settings
Click on the Authentication Settings to configure auth and machine authentication.
5. Click Advanced button
Make sure that the ‘Send all traffic over VPN connection’ is checked. Then click OK button. Complete the setting by clicking Apply button.
6. Connecting to L2TP VPN server
To connect to the VPN server, click the Connect button just under the Authentication Settings. Once it is connected, you can see the connection status, the connect time, and the IP address assigned to your Mac.
I hope this post can help you on how to setup L2TP VPN on macOS Sierra.

How to restore PPTP VPN Access back to Mac OS Sierra
Free Vpn Client For Mac
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.
