The 6th line indicates that a control-D is entered to exit the program. Note that the 1st line runs the program "setkey" in command mode 2nd through 5th lines are commands input to this program. spdadd $ip2/32 $ip1/32 any -P in ipsec esp/transport/$ip2-$ip1/require.spdadd $ip1/32 $ip2/32 any -P out ipsec esp/transport/$ip1-$ip2/require.Substitute the IP address of the Mac for $ip1, and the IP address of the remote machine for $ip2. Once the machines that will participate in the VPN have been configured, the VPN is enabled (for Macs) by entering the following commands in Terminal. The configuration described below is for a transport connection (a peer-to-peer protocol suitable for wireless security tunneling is typically used for connecting to corporate networks) and secret key authentication. There are many options in setting up a VPN among these are the transport and tunnel connection modes and authentication by secret key or certificate. This article is not intended to be comprehensive.

(The described setup can also be supported through IPSecuritas). The setup for an IPsec VPN without L2TP is more complex, and is described here. However, L2TP is not supported "out of the box" by some OSes (notably Linux), and L2TP adds unnecessary overhead.
MAC IPSECURITAS COULD NOT START RACOON MAC OS X
Cisco) is available for maintaining VPNs, but the protocols are already built into Mac OS X and macOS, which can be enabled (with some setup effort) without third-party tools.Ī free option that simplifies VPN setup and maintenance on Macs is IPSecuritas.Ĭonfiguring a VPN with L2TP can be done through the Network menu of System Preferences.
