  3. Hi Netgear community, One of our sites has a NETGEAR ProSafe™ Gigabit Dual WAN SSL VPN Firewall FVS336Gv3 which has PPTP Server enabled and setup with working users for Windows OS, there is 1 user that uses MAC OS. Since that 1 user upgraded their macOS to Sierra the option for PPTP has been removed (Apple reports the reason is for security).

Apple has removed PPTP from the list of supported VPN protocols from OSX El Capitan (10.12)+. If you are running OSX El Capitan (10.12) or later, we would recommend investigating an L2TP or OpenVPN-based connection instead.
