There is a /var/log/ppp/ directory, but it's empty. Logs seem to go into /var/log/system.log. –D.W. Aug 23 at 17:49 add a comment| Did you find this question interesting?

stored on your OSX El Capitan computer. If you are still logged in pptp port-mapping for en0 inconsistent to the Buffered client, please follow the first part of the tutorial to access the logs that we may need. However, pptp received unexpected message type = 6699 if you’re having problems logging into the client, please skip to the second part. Part 1 - Logged in Step 1. Click on the menu in the top right corner of the client and http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/7876/how-can-i-read-the-log-when-i-fail-with-vpn then click on Open Log dir. Step 2. A folder containing logs will open up and we will most often ask to take a look at the files named main.log and openvpn_output.log which you can see in that list. Part 2 - Can't log in Step 1. If you can’t open the logs folder from within the Buffered client, below will show you how to do that from your https://buffered.com/support/access-logs-mac-os-x-el-capitan/ Finder. If you don't see the Buffered folder (as indicated below), it's possible that your computer's settings have some folders/files hidden to you. To reveal all hidden folders and files please do the following: Open your Terminal app and copy/paste both lines listed below into Terminal one at a time, and press Enter/Return after each line: defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES (ENTER) killall Finder (ENTER) To hide the folders/files again after you’re done, you need to input the same commands but replacing the YES with a NO. Step 2. Once you’ve revealed the hidden folder/files with the above Terminal command, please open Finder and head over to your Home folder, then go to: Computer > Macintosh HD > Users > (user-name) > .buffered > logs The folder from Part 1, containing the logs, will open up for you. There may also be an instance where our support will ask for one more log which is not located in the folder from the above instructions. The name of this file is srv.log and to access it, please open Finder and click on Go in the Menu Bar at the top and then click Go to Folder. In the window that pops up, type in: /var/log and pr

Verify your settings and try reconnecting" This usually happens to me after a long time between reboots, and 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.

It works perfectly when I'm at home connected through WiFi to my cable modem (through an Airport Extreme). But when I try to connect through my Samsung Verizon 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot (that I got when attending Google I/O), I can't connect to anything (inside or outside my employers firewall). If I disconnect the VPN, network access returns. I can't asked my employer's IT department for support because they don't support Mac OS X. How do I troubleshoot this? Update: Jason Berg suggested in a comment below that I reproduce the problem on a PC so I can get support from my employer's IT department. Unfortunately VPN works over the mobile hotspot on my Windows 7 notebook. So I (still) can't get support from IT. Update #2: xeon's answer below links details on Verizon Wireless's forums where details are given about connections being "double natted" and which doesn't work with PPTP. That may not apply to my Cisco IPSec VPN. I wonder if I've failed to enable "VPN passthrough" as mentioned in some posts in that thread. Update #3: I enabled "VPN passthrough" (following the instructions in the user manual downloaded from http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/SCH-LC11ZKAVZW) but it still doesn't work. (There was also an undocumented "Privacy Separator enable" checkbox. I tried with it both unchecked and checked, and it didn't work either way.) mac-osx vpn cisco-vpn wifi share|improve this question edited Jun 15 '11 at 23:39 asked Jun 15 '11 at 21:23 Daryl Spitzer 89651939 1 Replica
