VPN is missing from System Settings

Yes, I solved it. However, I'd never sure it is the right way or not. I believe that you may select VPN configuration as figure below

I did one which I do not suppose to use. Then, VPN icon appear on system setting pane and I set up the right one again. Now, I can use the right one, then, delete the wrong one.

Here's some food for thought:

Unless you're using a true VPN tunnel, such as between you and your employer, school or bank's servers, they are they are not very secure from a privacy standpoint.  Read these two articles: Public VPN's are anything but private and Former Malware Distributor Kape Technologies Now Owns ExpressVPN, CyberGhost, Private Internet Access, Zenmate, and a Collection of VPN “Review” Websites. 

Click the ellipsis [...] (3-dots) button on the network screen to reveal the menu with the Add VPN Configuration option.

You need to check with the 3rd party vendor, Strong VPN. On their macOS setup page they state the following:

The app is compatible with Yosemite (OS X 10.10), El Capitan (OS X 10.11), Sierra (macOS 10.12), High Sierra (macOS 10.13), Mojave (macOS 10.14) and Catalina (Jazz) (macOS 10.15)

That seems to indicate they haven't been keeping up with the latest macOS versions. You can ask for a refund and switch VPN vendors. There are many to choose from.

Please elaborate on precisely what you mean.

If using the macOS VPN built-in configuration add the VPN connection and then go to System Settings -> Control Center and scroll down. The VPN entry should be there at the bottom and you can change it from "Don't show in the Menu Bar" to "Show in the Menu Bar". There will also be a new VPN entry under System Settings.

If you are talking about a 3rd party VPN App such as Strong VPN, see my previous comments. 3rd party VPN providers need to make sure they are compatible with Ventura and it if their client software is too old it may require changing VPN providers. Or upgrading to a newer version of the VPN client that supports Ventura.

Thank James Brickley for your kind response. Yes, I did go to System Settings—however, I mean macOS VPN built-in configuration. I never see an icon showing VPN (Left pane). Even though, I go Control Center and scroll down. I have never seen a menu about VPN. That's I would explain more. I may give you more information about machine.

Here is MacBook Pro M2 (14 Inches). I just bought it last week.

Look at the screenshot in this thread. Go to System Settings > Network. Click the 3-dots (ellipsis) menu button. Create a VPN connection and adjust your settings. When you go back to System Settings, there will be a VPN entry. You can also choose to show VPN on the menu item bar if you go to the Control Center and change that option.

I have a MacBook Air, OS Ventura. The icon for my Strong VPN has disappeared from my Menu bar. how can I replace it? My subscription is paid for, and renews in August 2023.

It didn't work. There is no warning or error; however, It didn't show vpn icon at all on pane.

Hi, did you manage to get this to work? Ik can click on add configuration, create a new configuration and all, but after I click on create, it's not there. Is this what you have as well?
