#51846 — No VPN on 10.9 ?

I can't find VPN in Applications or Utilities.

Hit the web for help, and I see that other people are finding it but 
complaining that it doesn't work.

I have an employer-issued Win 7 laptop, but I can't turn on WiFi--the 
button is toggling Bluetooth instead of WiFi!

I can RDP to a Win XP VM at work, but that VM seems to have gone belly-up

It's always something.

Anyway, any advice on VPN ?

To set up a VPN connection, you go into System Preferences > Network,
click the [+] button to add an interface, then set Interface to VPN, and
follow the prompts.

I work remotely from home and am almost constantly connected to my
employer's internal network through a VPN connection to my home. It
works just fine in 10.9.

Ah, thanks.  I thought I had seen something else before.  Did some 
earlier version have a setup assistant in Utilities?

None that I can remember. Then again my memory sucks. : )

Earlier versions of OS X had limited VPN support so there was usually a 
3rd party app that handled it.  "CiscoVPN Client" was popular and also 
notorious for causing kernel panics.  Juniper Networks has "Network 
Connect" that seems to work well if you have the right version for your 
OS.

I never acquired a third-party client.  But I have a vague (and possibly 
wrong) memory of seeing a set-up tool for it in Applications or in 
Utilities in a recent OS version.

I have something called IPSecuritas.app which was recommended to me in
2010.  I never fathomed out how to use it though.

first you configure it for an ipsec vpn, which can be a bit confusing
if you aren't familiar with setting up ipsec. 

once it's set up, you just click a button to connect to the remote
network. it works quite well.

apple's built invpn support is limited, thus the need for third party
ipsec clients such as ipsecuritas.
