Create VPN - L2TP IPSec with Shared secret?
Hey there,
i just started to testing your Remote Desktop Manager for Mac.
And i really like, what i see :) It´s a great software.
But i didn´t figure out, how i can create a VPN Connection just in the manager.
Maybe i just not found the right menu.
I create the VPN in the system settings VPN from OSX
Than i create the VPN in the Manager too: New Entry / VPN / Apple VPN / Method: Terminal.
There i choose the VPN Name i created before in OSX, fill in Username, Password and Secret.
Than i can connect the VPN in the manager perfectly and can connect to a RDP Session.
But is there a way to create the VPN just in the manager?
I have to fillout: Server, Username, Password, Secret. And i have to check that the complete traffic runs through VPN.
It´s a Meraki VPN.
Thank you so much for this nice software and i really looking forward to your feedback :)
Greetings
Patrick

Hi gehpat,
I'm glad you are enjoying the application!
As for your question, unfortunately, it's not possible to create the VPN in macOS configuration from RDM Mac. To launch and stop Apple VPNs from RDM Mac, we use a third party (VPNStatus) which itself does not support this. I'm not sure Apple expose any obvious means of doing this.

Alright, thanks for your answer.
I think it´s a security "feature" from Apple :D
