VPN configuration in Mac OS X Tiger

UiB uses Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol(PPTP) to connect to VPN. This connection is not supported in the new Mac OS X 10.12(Sierra) or iOS 10. We are working on a new VPN solution. We do not recommend users of UiB VPN to upgrade their Apple units before the new solution is released.

Setting up VPN in Mac OSX 10.4 (Tiger)

1. Start the program Internet Connect. From the File menu choose "new VPN-connection"




2. Select PPTP
 



3. Type:
   vpn-student.uib.no  or vpn-ansatt.uib.no (the last for employees) 
   username@student.uib.no or username@uib.no (the last for employees, both: replace "username" with your user name) 
   your password 



4. Click connect.
   When you close Internet Connect you will be asked to name the connection. Give it whatever name you would like.
