This tutorial will show you how to set up L2TP VPN on macOS using the SirVPN services. If you don’t have a SirVPN account, Let's go.
Here are the steps you should follow:
“Interface” (4) – choose VPN.
“VPN Type” (5) – choose “L2TP over IPSec”.
In “Service name” field (6) type SirVPN (L2TP).
Then click “Create” (7).
In “server address” field (8) type the IP address of the SirVPN server you want to connect to.
To find the entire list of all available servers, sign in to your account on our website, go to “Setup” -> “VPN Servers“. If you don’t have a SirVPN account, you can try our services.
Type your SirVPN username in the “Account name” field (9).
Click on “Authentication settings” button (10).
Assure you use your VPN username and password, NOT the website account credentials. To find your VPN username and password, sign in to your account on our website, go to “Setup” -> “VPN Username & Password“. If you don’t have a SirVPN account, you can try our services.
Under “Machine Authentication” section, click the “Shared Secret” button (12). Then type “123” (without quotes) in the “Shared Secret” field, click “OK” (13), then click “Apply”.
