Procedure for L2TP VPN Configuration on Sierra MacOS

You must be in possession of four things, all listed on the confirmation email you sent YOORShop:

the IP address of the VPN server: Name or server address

the name of your account: Login

your password: Password

the shared secret for authentication of machines? Pre-shared authentication key

In the "Apple" menu (on the left and at the top of your screen), or in the dock, open "System Preferences"

On the preferences panel choose "Network"

You will create a new access in the list on the left. Click + at the bottom of the list.

A panel opens:

in the drop-down menu "Interface" click on VPN

in the "VPN Type" drop-down menu select L2TP via IPSec

in the field "Name of the service" put what you want. You can leave VPN (L2TP)

Click on "Create"

At the top of the panel leave "Automatic Configuration"

Leave "Configuration" Default

Server address: contained on the access email sent by YOORshop

Account name: your login on the access email sent by YOORshop

Click on "Authentication Setting". A panel opens:

In "Auth. users "

keep the pre-selected radio button "Password"? fill in with your Password (see the YOORShop email)

In "Auth. machines "

 

keep the pre-selected radio button "Shared secret"? fill in with pre-shared authentication key (see YOORShop email)

Click "OK" the panel closes. You may be asked to apply the settings. In this case click on "Apply" at the bottom right.

And finally click on "Connect".

Hopefully the VPN state should switch to Connected.

An IP address different from your usual one is displayed.
