The name itself doesn’t matter, but something descriptive is always best. If you’re using PPTP or Cisco IPSec you should still be able to follow along without any problems, the steps are quite similar. Without having to install any additional software, OS X supports the VPN protocols L2TP (over IPSec), PPTP and Cisco IPSec. For the sake of this tutorial we’re going to create an L2TP over IPSec VPN connection.Click the “up and down arrow” icon at the end of the Interface: drop down menu.To add a VPN connection, click the “plus sign” ( + ) at the bottom of your Network connections list (see screenshot below). From the menu on the left side of the Network window, there’s a list of all your current connections (whether they’re in use or not).Locate the Network button, and give it a click.Click the Apple Button from the Menu Bar, and select System Preferences…. If you don’t have a VPN service yet, I strongly recommend and endorse the VPN service provided by Private Internet Access, which works perfectly with OS X on any Mac. The steps and screenshots used in this tutorial are from OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) but are nearly identical to previous versions of OS X, so you should have no trouble following along, even if you’re not using Yosemite. This guide will you take you each step of the way through setting up a VPN on your Mac.
