VPN no longer working after 11.7.2 update. It´s working fine on 11.7

I have the same issue. VPN no longer working after 11.7.2 update. It is working fine on 11.7

VPN type L2TP over IPSec.

I use user name, user password and shared secret. Restarting and recreating the connection and doesn't work.

Before update VPN works fine.

Problem is macOS 11.7.2 use hash-algorithm SHA256 and macOS 11.7 used hash-alghorithm SHA1. Please keep and back SHA1.

Can you fix it?? Any workaround??

Someone suggested upgrading to Monterey. I cannot upgrade to Monterey. Another stupid Apple thing. I have a non-Apple SSD, and Apple will not upgrade MacBook Pros that don't have an Apple SSD. I don't have the original Apple SSD to perform the workaround that is posted on the Internet, so I'm pretty much stuck.

Hi,

I have the same problem on my MacBook Pro with my Microtik after update to 11.7.2.

Great idea to upgrade to Monterey, but I can't - has too old MacBook Pro. This is the latest MacOS that I can use.

Hope some one from Apple find a solution soon.

In my case, I just overcame the problem. I was able to learn how to set up OpenVPN in our mikrotik and now I am able to connect with my network remotely with some level of security.

Looking at that Apple is not going to fix it soon I can not wait more.

am having the same issue, and the /var/log/ppp.log show this:

L2TP can't set L2TP server address: Cannot allocate memory

any work around?

h##ps://support.apple.com/en-ph/HT213534 - section "ppp" - "improved memory handling" 😀

Dear support, can you issue a fix for the described error, see this thread?

Some problem with my macbook air 2018. I update two days ago to 11.7.2 a VPN LPT2 do not work anymore. Somebody have a solution?

Dont now if its related somehow, but on Ventura 13.1 it is the same, since update no working VPN.

Checked with VPN service, seems this is not related with this problem.

Me too, because I forgot rule #1 of Apple users

never install an update after it's published, always wait 4 weeks

HI, how did you configure FortiClient? it does only allow IPSec not L2TP, thanks

Having same issue... Has anyone found a fix?

Same problem

Has anyone found a way to go back to 11.7.1 or 11.6?

Time machine with backups broke down to the heap

It's not for nothing

upgrade to Monterey if your machine can handle it :|

if not, buy a new machine, it's probably the hidden motive from Apple to deliver such crappy upgrades
