![]() I connect to my VPN server whenever my iPhone, iPad, or laptop is on an unsecured public wifi network (airport, restaurant, etc.) so my personal information and passwords won’t be compromised. ![]() VPN Server Configurator (available from developer’s website) makes Mac OS X VPN easier to set up than a paid public VPN service, and a free companion app even automates setting up Mac clients. Although VPN serving capability is built into Mac OS X, getting to it is so difficult, arcane, and frustrating that I had already given up several times. After installing, you can download the version from the developer’s website which will also display attached users by name and when they attached. Once setup is complete, this VPN Server Agent app is optional, but very convenient for displaying VPN status, starting and stopping the server, showing the VPN log, emailing you when your IP address changes (yes, you CAN run a VPN server on a dynamic-IP address!) and showing how many users are attached via VPN. ![]() This app works in conjunction with VPN Server Configurator, which performs the one-time VPN setup.
