People choose to use a VPN for many reasons. This connection allows you to use the internet or a private network using that server's connection. Essentially, you are connecting your PC, tablet, or another device to a server on the internet. VPNs work by forwarding your traffic directly to the network you have created a secure connection with. These include shielding activity on public Wi-Fi, accessing region-restricted content, and possibly connecting to a business network to work from home. This is not a limitation of VPN Activator but rather an Apple's implementation limitation of the Bonjour protocol.A VPN can allow you to build a secure connection between your computer to a different network through the internet. So for now you will have to manually map network and printers shared on your home network. There are some ways of working around the limitation but none that can cleanly be packaged. Apple's implementation of Bonjour does not work across a VPN. If you expect to see your Bonjour shared resources to magically appear on the VPN connected device you will be disappointed. Given that you properly configure you Internet router to allow L2TP and/or PPTP across to your Mac you should be able to connect to your home network via your Mac running "VPN Activator". This user/password is not one of the existing user defined on your Mac but rather a dedicated user/password dedicated for the VPN use. It is rather intended for common folks that wish to establish a VPN connection to their home network via their personal Mac.Īt the moment you can only create a single user/password/secret combination.
This application is not intended for large scale enterprise use. All files necessary to do this are already part of the OS… so no Apple files are needed nor distributed by this application. The application will configure and start/stop the L2TP & PPTP VPN server hiding in your Mac. VPN Activator is a GUI for the hidden VPN server in Mac OS X client OS.
