VPN for MacOs

Here are instructions for VPN connection with MacOs X version 10.12 (Sierra) and up. Sierra no longer supports PPTP connections so a VPN software is required to connect to the University's VPN. In this demonstration we will use OpenVPN.

If you have an older version of MacOS then you can follow those guidlines: VPN for MacOs older then 10.11

NOTE that you only need to follow those steps once to setup the connection. After that you only need to do steps 11 and 12 to connect to VPN.

1) Start by downloading the client setup for the Univeristy by clicking on the button below or this file: client.ovpn
Download installation file

2) Open a browser and go to tunnelblick.net and click on the green arrow (Download Latest Stable Release):

3) Go to Downloads and open the Tunnelblick file:

8) Then this window opens. Drag and drop the "client.ovpn" file from the Downloads (or where you saved the file to) into the Configurations box. You might need to "Enter admin mode" for this to work. You do that by clicking the lock-icon at the top right corner:
Drag and drop the client.ovpn into the Configurations box

9) Here you will need to choose if the file should be installed for all users or just the user signed in:
