Big Sur 11.7.2 update on 2014 iMac causing VPN connectivity issues... Hi Folks, I just updated my 2014 iMac to the latest relevant Big Sur MacOS version - 11.7.2 and it my VPN connectivity to work no longer works. I have other (newer) Macs which continue to connect fine - same network, same credentials, same settings/config. I see there are some security updates/fixes in the 11.7.2 release notes, but it appears to have caused me this issue! I've restarted a couple of times, tried recreating the VPN connection, tried different VPN targets but without any success. Anybody have similar issues? Any suggestions on how to resolve? Many thanks, Dave

Cisco AnyConnect Errors: The VPN client agent was unable to create the interprocess communication depot. Using iMac with Ventura 13.3.1 (a), after a restart of the OS I can no longer connect to Cisco AnyConnect. Finding lots of people complaining about this and no proper answer. Issue might be with Cisco or Mac, but can't tell at this moment. Anybody has a solution!?

Mac doesn't connect to any VPN Firstly, everything is updated, and i've restarted both the programs and my computer, but still won't work. 1) My 3rd party VPN cannot connect (no error, just cannot turn on from OFF to ON) 2) When i try to open the VPN in my mac's settings, I get "You can't open the "VPN" settings pane because it is not available to you at this time. 3) I read some solutions about this so I also tried going to "Network" in settings, then under "Other Services" I clicked the 3 dots and chose "Add VPN configuration" and it only gives me 3 options, and I don't know what to do with them: a) L2TP Over IPsec, b) Cisco IPSec, c) IKEV2 --> no clue what these are. The first one for example asks "server address" and "account name" to create it, and my Avast VPN has nothing on that to help. I just want to use my Avast that I paid for boohoo :( Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Contact the VPN/IT Admin at the company whose network you are trying to connect to.

Do not use a VPN unless you are creating a secure point-to-point tunnel to your workplace or other known private network.
