vpn

I use no protection, but should get some!

Hi I would like to tell you my experience of using a VPN. This post is for those of you who don't subscribe to a VPN service and maybe wondering about doing so. I have used two of the major services, and I will try to only mention experiences directly correlated to a VPN service and not a...

I have my own personal Mac that I use at work. It seems that every time I VPN into the work network my terminal permissions change along with the hostname. It seems that they are able to manage my Mac. I do use Outlook signed in with my work credentials, but I am not sure if that allows them to...

Hi all AirDrop is a beautiful feature and I really enjoy using it. It works just fine when I am not connected to VPN, but the moment I do, it stops working. I am connected to VPN, both on my phone and my macbook. I read somewhere that there is a config/setting that can be changed that will...

Hi all, I'm using Wireguard to connect to the company VPN, which then requires a proxy server to access external websites. Once VPN is established I connect to a Firewall running authpf to establish routes, including access to the proxy. The proxy is configured correctly in Network Settings...

This is driving me nuts and has done for years through several major versions of macOS. It happens all the time. Weekly at least. I wake the computer and go to use the internet but nothing loads. Try "google.co.uk" for example and Safari's loading progress bar goes to about 10% across (the...

I figured out how to modify the .ovpn files that my VPN service provides to make them work on Windows XP with the newest version of OpenVPN for XP work. Turns out, you can use Tunnelblick v3.5.25 (https://tunnelblick.net/downloadsDeprecated.html) on Mac OS X 10.4+ and if you modify the .ovpn...

I was playing around with OpenVPN on Windows XP on the Mac mini and I got the last version for XP working with my VPN provider by editing the .ovpn file to remove some settings it did not support. I want to see if i can do the same on Tiger, so I tried to download the last Tiger release and...

Hello Apple and Mac friends. Any totally free, very good VPN recommends for macOS so we can watch this cute japanese anime Apple commercial: https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/apple-japan-anime-macbook-ad/ Thank you. God bless you.

As many clamour to make their systems more secure, some add VPN to their arsenol. Which VPN service are you using and why? Which devices of yours take advantage of VPN. Why individual VPN for each device. vs VPN on the router? Thoughts? I'm giving a quick investigation myself and was curious...

Hi ! I need help with an issue with a VPN I just buyed to connect to my work computer. Help with the software team seems to be inexistant or so slow that I wont get an answer before Christmass time. I'm able to connect to my job without problem, but after this I loose my Internet on my Mac. I...

Hi Folks I installed Norton Security Deluxe on my MBP. It started making things wonky so I uninstalled it. However my VPN stopped working since then. I also am unable to access most VPN Provider websites since then. Safari does not even load those websites (ExpressVPN, NordVPN, VyprVPN). I am a...

Howdy, I use ExpressVPN on my Mac, iPhone, and iPad. I don’t have a VPN setup for my Apple Watch. I have the cellular version. Does anyone know if ANY VPN service supports Apple Watch? Is it even possible on Apple Watch? Thanks!

Hi, I'm running Mojave 10.14.6 on a mid-2014 MacBook Pro. I have a VPN and while using it I navigate the Net but when I disconnect from the VPN I can't access the Internet. Can you tell me how to rectify this situation? Sorry if this has been addressed in other threads but I looked and...

Hello, I would like to use my favourite torrent client, Transmission, over a VPN service but at the same time I do not want to direct any other traffic therethrough. That is, I want to use my VPN service only for torrenting with the Transmission client. I intend to use NordVPN service and I...

Hi all, A buddy of mine and I wanted an easy way to IM, audio, and possibly video chat on our PPC Macs. After looking around for existing programs that still worked we settled on the idea of using Bonjour with iChat since it's built in and requires no setup. The problem is we live on opposite...

Since updating to iOS 14, all of my VPNs have stopped working. I use AdGuard Pro's local VPN configuration to block trackers and ads. It's infuriating that every time network environment changes, it takes between 1 to 20 minutes for a connection to be established. It's not a connectivity issue...

Hi everyone! I'm using an iPhone 8 with IOS 14.0.1 (updated yesterday from 13.5.x - not an iOS version issue I guess). I have setup VPN on Demand with below XML profile that I found online (I tried various, but this is the one that works ... somewhat). I'm at home (for testing) and disabling...

Hey everyone. I know I'm new here as a user, but have been here on & off as a lurker. My wife is a former Apple employee, and I grew up using the pre-MacOS hardware (more a WinLin guy now); I've had to do my fair share of MacOS support in IT. Anyway, I started working for ZeroTier last week, and...

Hi, Hoping to find a best available & free firewall and VPN for my MacBook air. Firewall: I've read some of the reviews about AntiVirus Bit Medic and am not sure I really understand the tech speak. Saw Paragon software in the apps store too and that seems solid, but I am no expert. VPN...
