Small Business Tech Tips

Since the release of Lion Server, PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol), the most popular VPN protocol, has been a nightmare.

Apple removed the GUI used to configure PPTP for Windows connectivity, and asked that users setup via the sudo server command in Terminal.  And it… DOESN’T AUTHENTICATE!  I’ve worked recently with a consortium of other Apple consultants, all of us working to get this resolved, and we have, but the fixes are not user friendly, which is exactly what Apple Server is supposed to be.

After doing a ton of research, I’ve stumbled upon this fantastic App…iVPN.

iVPN gives you everything you would need from a VPN server on a Mac.  A nice interface and options to integrate with Open Directory.  No more terminal commands and registry hacks!  This is definitely the solution for you if you’re looking for an easy fix to this plaguing omission of VPN management in Lion Server.  At only $25 price tag, you can’t beat it!
