Now and then, after laptop mac racoon vpn has been to sleep mode, VPN fails to restart ("Configuration error. Check settings and try
Restart Racoon Mac
to reconnect."). The only solution is to restart my laptop. Is there a fix for this? If not, can I restart the built-in os x racoon conf VPN in a terminal window (instead of restarting my laptop)?

No VPN connectivity when the laptop has been in standby mode, have to reboot for it to create a connection. Would love to know how to manually restart the VPN client / service!

Verify your settings and try reconnecting" This usually happens to me after a long time between reboots, and http://www.monkeyatlarge.com/archives/2011/01/18/osx-vpn-problems-kill-the-racoon/ a reboot usually allows me to successfully connect again. Rebooting when I'm in the middle of something can be a pain, so I did some research and found a better way. There's a process called "racoon" - it performs key exchange operations to set up IPSec tunnels. Kill it (using kill or activity monitor) and your VPN will start working again.

new MacBook Pro will no longer connect to my work’s Cisco IPSec VPN. The error message displayed is not very helpful, it simply says: “A configuration error http://www.z-car.com/blog/macbook-pro/mac-a-racoon-and-no-more-vpn-connection occured. Verify your settings and try reconnecting” I have been unable to determine a pattern of when this happens, but it seems to occur quite often when bringing the laptop out of sleep. Although, http://www.spathi.net/mountain-lion-ipsec-vpn-randomly-drops-out-usually-around-45-minutes/ it does happen at other times as well. Rebooting has appeared to help, but the whole reason I bought a Mac was because I was sick of having to reboot my PC everyday. os x After a little investigation, I determined that there is a process called “racoon” which is responsible for the VPN connection. – it performs key exchange operations to set up IPSec tunnels. The Apple MAN pages say that racoon speaks the IKE (ISAKMP/Oakley) key management protocol, to establish security associations with other hosts. If you Kill it (using kill or activity monitor), your VPN will start working again. You mac os x can also do : ~ :? ps -ef | grep racoon 0 5861 1 0 0:00.09 ?? 0:00.15 /usr/sbin/racoon ~ :? sudo kill 5861 ~ :? ps ax | grep racoon
45 minutes) December 23, 2012 Posted byspathi Problem: I've had this issue with both Lion (MAC OS X 10.7) and Mountain Lion (MAC OS X 10.8). I decided to use the built in VPN client to connect to a CISCO VPN using IPsec, however the connection fails at around 45 minutes every time. [Side note] - If you are looking to use Apple's inbuilt VPN client opposed to CISCOs on Mac OS X, check out this great article on migrating across Resolution: To fix this I found the resolution on Apple's forums here Before proceeding remember, the usual disclaimer applied - you are doing this at your own risk, I take no responsibility if your system dies or turns into a pumpkin. I've used this method successfully and have had a VPN connection stay connected for over 9 hours. Also if you are not comfortable using the terminal, I wouldn't recommended attempting this. Also, this is a hack at best, you will need to make further changes if you have more then 1 VPN profile configured as we change the included config to be static for the VPN you are connecting to, as opposed to whatever is generated when connecting. Connect to your VPN as you usually would, this generates the racoon config file we need to use. The configuration file is generated on /var/run/racoon/ and will be a file named after the ip address you are connecting to followed by the extension .conf - for this example I've used the invalid address of 255.255.255.255.conf - we need to copy this to /etc/racoon so we can modify it. From a terminal run a command such as: sudo cp /var/run/racoon/255.255.255.255.conf /etc/racoon Using the editor of your choice (such as vim or pico - I'll use vim) from the terminal run: sudo vim /etc/racoon/racoon.conf Go to the end of the file (in Vim you can do this by pressing shift-g) and remark out the line that reads: include "/var/run/racoon/*.conf" ; To remark out a line, simply add a hash (#) to the
