We have a lot of customers who use their Mac mini as a VPN server. This works great when you need an IP address in the US, or a secure internet connection on the road, or a number of other reasons. When Apple released, they changed the setup a bit so we wrote a tutorial. This continued in and, and remains the case in Sierra. By default, Sierra Server VPN will distribute IP addresses in the same range the Mac itself uses. This doesn’t work well in a facility like MacStadium where each Mac mini has a static WAN IP address. We asked to help us put together a tutorial that will help MacStadium customers setup their Mac minis to serve as VPNs.

He’s broken it down in a few parts so be sure to take the steps that are best for your situation: PART I: VLAN and DNS PART II: Internet Routing ( OPTIONAL) PART III: VPN PART IV: Client Setup If you are simply looking to enable VPN service on your macOS Server for secure connection(s) between your server and client(s), you can skip PART II. That’s right: you can jump straight from PART I to PART III. The procedures discussed in PART II are intended for those who are looking to route internet traffic from their VPN clients over the VPN and out to the internet via their server’s public internet connection at Macminicolo. Also, it should be mentioned that server administration (particularly at the command line level) can be tricky. If you do proceed beyond this point, which shall be exclusively at your own risk, then please proceed carefully, and as always, don’t ever proceed without a backup of your server and other irreplaceable data. Okay, let’s get started.

1. VPN Client for Mac. Main Features. Highest Security Standards; Optimized User Experience; Multitude of VPN Protocols OpenVPN, IPSec, PPTP, SSL,.
2. Cisco AnyConnect is the recommended VPN client for Mac. The built-in VPN client for Mac is another option but is more likely to suffer from disconnects. Overview Stanford's VPN allows you to connect to Stanford's network as if you were on campus, making access to restricted services possible.

PART I: VLAN and DNS First, let’s set up a VLAN. In System Preferences, go to Network, and choose “Manage Virtual Interfaces”. After pressing “Done”, you’ll be able to enter network info for your new VLAN. Make sure to choose “Manually” for “Configure IPv4”, and set the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Router as shown below.

(Advanced: We’ll be using a 10.0.0.1 private IP for the server and 10.0.0.0/24 private network in this walkthrough, but note that the technique documented here will work with any private IP addressing scheme. To accomplish that, you’d substitute that alternate network info here, as well as a few other places further along in this walkthrough.). Now, once again, if you are NOT interested in routing public internet traffic from your VPN client(s) over the VPN and out to the internet via your server’s public internet connection at Macminicolo, you should SKIP from here to PART III.

PART II: Internet Routing ( OPTIONAL) So far, so good. Now things get a little trickier, as we need to dive into the command line a bit to get NAT and routing set up. First, we’ll need to edit two privileged text files, so we are going use a command line text editor called nano. Breathe easy, we've got each other's backs here, and we will take this step by step. As we proceed, it is important to remember that in the command line, typos aren't the least bit welcome, and also, uppercase/lowercase needs to match exactly, so it is extremely important to enter text into Terminal.app exactly as it is described here.

One additional (but important!) point: The quotation marks used here in terminal commands are 'straight' quotes. Some web browsers and text editors may automatically convert these marks to smart (curly) quotes, particularly when copying and pasting. It's important to use straight quotes when entering the commands from this tutorial in Terminal.app. Let's forge ahead. Launch Terminal.app. And finally, enter these five commands (each one as a single line, pressing return after each one) into your Terminal.app window: sudo cp /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.pfctl.plist /Library/LaunchDaemons/net.macminicolo.pfctl.plist sudo sed -i ' 's/com.apple.pfctl/net.macminicolo.pfctl/' /Library/LaunchDaemons/net.macminicolo.pfctl.plist sudo sed -i ' 's/-f-e. You can now close your Terminal.app window entirely.

Okay, you have now set up NAT and routing for your private network. The last piece of the puzzle on the server will be to configure and enable VPN service. Before you proceed, though: RESTART your server now. (We’ll wait) Now that you have restarted your server, let’s continue.

PART III: VPN Whether or not you have just completed Part II or skipped to this point straight from Part I, rest assured that everyone is welcome here in Part III. First, open Server.app and click on the “VPN” section of the sidebar. Wait about 30 seconds for the VPN service to become fully active, and your Mac mini server should now be ready to serve VPN clients and (optionally, if you completed Part II) route their public internet traffic over its connection. PART IV: Client Setup Now that your server’s VPN is configured, enabled, and (optionally) ready to route public internet traffic for its clients, you may want a little guidance on how best to configure a client.

Let’s set up a Sierra client as an example. In System Preferences, go to Network, and press the “+” in the lower-lefthand corner. Press “Apply” to save changes. And now your client should be ready to connect to your server’s VPN. Just press “Connect” when you want make this happen. As I mentioned, this tutorial came from Rusty Ross , a great hands-on consultant that works with a bunch of happy MacStadium customers on a wide range of topics, including setup, migration, troubleshooting, maintenance, networking, strategic planning, and creative thinking. He’s available for a quick-fix, a specific project, or a longer-term relationship.
