How do I set up school VPN access on Mac?
To set up school VPN access on Mac, you need the technical VPN details from your school and a VPN client that matches the gateway. VPN Tracker can be used to configure many common school and business VPNs on Mac, even if the existing instructions were originally written for Windows.
Ask your school IT team for the gateway address, VPN protocol, username, password, Pre-Shared Key or certificate, remote network, DNS settings, and identifiers. The article Mac VPN Client explains VPN Tracker as a Mac VPN client; for IKEv2 connections, connect to IKEv2 VPN on Mac, iPhone, and iPad is also useful.
If a connection already works for a colleague, your school IT team or colleague should share the verified connection through VPN Tracker Team. The guide share VPN connections with VPN Tracker Team explains how this works.
