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.

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 http://www.z-car.com/blog/macbook-pro/mac-a-racoon-and-no-more-vpn-connection error occured. Verify your settings and try reconnecting” I have been unable to http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/224249/vpn-question-on-mac determine a pattern of when this happens, but it seems to occur quite often when bringing the laptop out of sleep. Although, 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 os x everyday. 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 os x vpn again. You 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

Now how do I do these steps on MAC El Capitan? I added the .p12 file into the keychain (System level) and also imported the certificate. I am creating a new entry under Network -> VPN -> Cisco IPSEC and selecting this CERT under authentication. When I try to connect, I see an error "an unexpected error occurred".

[link] Here's a solution that worked for one user although I allow myself the indulgence of finding his security practice rather terrifying. I granted client certificate's private key access to all applications and > set always trust certificate in the Keychain Access. After that racoon successfully connected to vpn server. (there were about > 5 lines of errors in a log, but vpn worked) Next, I returned certificate's trust policy to system defaults. (private > key access reverted automatically). Now it works without errors. I would rather
