Cisco RV-130W and Mac OS X native VPN client

[Han Zhong Guo]

My office is using a Cisco RV-130W as our router.

Currently the Greenbow VPN client is working fine on my Windows laptop as I am able to remote in from my home to office.

I have iMac desktop at home too and I can't seem to get the native VPN client in Mac OS X to connect to the RV-130W, I have since tried PPTP, L2TP over IPsec and Cisco IPsec settings on my iMac and none of it is working at all.

Other than Greenbow and ShrewSoft VPN clients, are there any VPN clients for Mac OS X that are certified working ?

Is there any configuration guide for getting the native VPN client inside Mac OS X to work with Cisco RV-130W router ?

Thanks for contacting Cisco,

The native VPN IPsec client on MAC OS is not compatible with the RV130W.

The PPTP Client on the MAC OS, however, should work.

On the RV130 you would need to enable the PPTP server.

VPN--> PPTP Server--> Enable - Save

Next add the username and passwords for the PPTP clients

Hi Michael - the Mac os sierra and ios9 no longer support PPTP. Do you have any other suggestions for connecting remotely from a DHCP client
