How to connect to a VPN in MAC OS

This is L2TP/IPsec VPN connection method. This is a method of configuring dual tunnels with IPsec to supplement the old L2TP method. It is not blocked even in China because it goes through an IPsec tunnel. It can replace the problematic PPTP method. If you are having problems connecting to IKEv2, you can use this method instead.

For older versions of MAC, click here to see how to connect. Go to previous connection methods

Create connection settings

In MAC OS X, L2TP/IPsec connection function is built-in, so VPN connection is possible with simple setup without installing a separate app.

1 Click Network in System Settings Click the Action pop-up menu in the bottom right, choose Add VPN Configuration, and then choose L2TP over IPSec.

2 When the settings window opens, enter the following:

Display Name	IPany
Configuration	Select "Default"
Server address	Select and enter one of the addresses below (If the connection is not good or the Internet speed is slow, select other server to connect to and find a server that suits you.) ipany1.monetcom.co.kr ipany2.monetcom.co.kr ipany3.monetcom.co.kr ipany4.monetcom.co.kr ipany5.monetcom.co.kr ipany6.monetcom.co.kr ipany7.monetcom.co.kr ipany8.monetcom.co.kr ipany9.monetcom.co.kr ipany10.monetcom.co.kr ipany11.monetcom.co.kr ipany12.monetcom.co.kr

If you cannot connect even if you change the server, check the details below.

(Table) IKEv2 connection problem solution

Cause of connection failure	Solution
In case of incorrect Username or Password input	Check if you have not entered your ID and password incorrectly. (You can check the ID and password of the VPN connection account you created in Account Management of IPany website.) If you entered incorrect ID or password, you cannot change it. Delete the installed profile and install a new one. See "Remove settings" above how to delete the profile
If the expiration date has passed	Make sure that your VPN connection account has not expired in Account Management of IPany website. If the expiration date has passed, click the "Extend" button to pay and extend it.
