Objective
I setup the newest ipsecuritas 4.9.1 for a client running Mac Laptop High Sierra with a Sonicwall VPN setup. I am able to connect to the network but once connected, I can’t access or ping anything on the VPN network. Internet still works and I can see the user on the sonicwall User logins. Jul 12, 2016 Setup VPN connection to SonicWALL from Mac OSX with IPSecuritas. July 12, 2016 May 13, 2018 System Op. Revised July 10 2016. I have used Dell’s SonicWALL firewalls at several employers. From TZ190’s to NSA 3600’s. I am no expert on SonicOS or SonicWALLs in general, but I have been either the I.T. Person who made the decision to use them. May 23, 2020 IPSecuritas is the most advanced, yet free IPSec client for Mac OS X. It supports virtually every available IPSec compliant firewall, allowing you to connect safely to your office or home network from any location on earth.
There is no Quick VPN version suitable for Mac OS. However, there is an increasing number of users who would like to deploy a Quick VPN alternative for Mac OS. In this article, IP Securitas is used as an alternative for a Quick VPN.
Note: You need to download and install the IP Securitas on your MAC OS before you start configuration. You can download it from the following link:

Deploy a Quick VPN Alternative for Mac OS
Note: The VPN Client to Gateway configuration of the device needs to be done first. To know more how to configure VPN Client to Gateway refer to Set Up a Remote Access Tunnel (Client to Gateway) for VPN Clients on RV016, RV042, RV042G and RV082 VPN Routers.
Step 1. Run the IP Securitas on the Mac OS. The IPSecuritas window appears:
Step 2. Click Start.
Step 3. From the menu bar, choose Connections > Edit Connections. The Connections window appears.
Step 4. Click the + icon to add a new connection.
Step 5. Enter a name for the new connection under connections.
General
Step 1. Click the General tab.
Step 2. Enter the IP address of the remote router in the Remote IPSec Device field.
Note: You do not need to configure Local Side as this configuration is for remote client. You just need to configure Remote Mode.
Step 3. In the Remote Side area, choose Network from the Endpoint Mode drop-down list.
Step 4. Enter the subnet mask in the Network Mask (CIDR) field.
Step 5. Enter the remote network address in the Network Address field.
Phase 1
Phase 1 is the simplex, logical security association (SA) between the two ends of the tunnel to support secure authenticated communication.
Step 1. Click the Phase 1 tab.
Step 2. Enter the lifetime you entered during the configuration of the tunnel in the Lifetime field. If time expires, a new key is renegotiated automatically. The key lifetime can range from 1081 to 86400 seconds. The default value for Phase 1 is 28800 seconds.
Step 3. Choose the appropriate time unit for the Lifetime from the Lifetime drop-down list. The default is seconds.
Step 4. Choose the same DH Group which you entered for the configuration of the tunnel from the DH Group drop-down list. The Diffie-Hellman (DH) group is used for key exchange.
Step 5. Choose the encryption type from the Encryption drop-down list which you entered for the configuration of the tunnel. The Encryption method determines the length of the key used to encrypt/decrypt Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) packets.
Step 6. Choose the authentication method which you entered for the configuration of the tunnel from the Authentication drop-down list. The type of authentication determines the method to authenticate ESP packets.
Step 7. Choose the appropriate exchange mode from the Exchange Mode drop-down list.
• Main — Represents exchange mode for all type of gateway except Full Qualified Domain Name (FQDN).
• Aggressive — Represents the exchange mode for Full Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) gateway.
Phase 2
Phase 2 is the security association to determine the security of the data packet during the data packets pass through the two end points.
Step 1. Click the Phase 2 tab.
Step 2. Enter the same lifetime in the Lifetime field which you entered for the the configuration of the tunnel and also Phase 1.
Step 3. Choose the same time unit of the lifetime from the Lifetime drop-down list which you entered for the configuration of the tunnel and Phase 1.
Step 4. Choose the same DH group from the Perfect Forwarding Secrecy (PFS) Group drop-down list which you entered for the the configuration of the tunnel.
Step 5. Uncheck all the unused Encryption and Authentication methods. Only check the ones defined under the Phase 1 tab.
ID
Step 1. Click ID tab.
Step 2. Choose the same method of local identifier as the tunnel from the Local Identifier drop-down list. Enter the appropriate value according to the type of local identifier if needed.
Step 3. Choose the same method of remote identifier as the tunnel from the Remote Identifier drop-down list. Enter the appropriate value according to the type of remote identifier if needed.
Step 4. Choose the same authentication method as the tunnel from the Authentication Method drop-down list. Enter the appropriate authentication value according to the type of authentication method if needed.
Step 5. Click the x icon (red circle) to close the connection window. This automatically saves the settings. The IPSecuritas window appears.

We design Mac hardware and software with advanced technologies that work together to run apps more securely, protect your data, and help keep you safe on the web. And with macOS Catalina available as a free upgrade, it’s easy to get the most secure version of macOS for your Mac.*
Apple T2 chip.
The next generation of security.
The Apple T2 Security Chip — included with many newer Mac models — keeps your Mac safer than ever. The Secure Enclave coprocessor in the Apple T2 chip provides the foundation for Touch ID, secure boot, and encrypted storage capabilities. Touch ID gives you a seamless way to use your fingerprint to unlock your Mac, fill passwords in Safari, and make purchases with Apple Pay. Secure boot helps ensure that you are running trusted operating system software from Apple, while the Apple T2 chip automatically encrypts the data on your Mac. So you can be confident knowing that security has been designed right into the architecture of your Mac, from the ground up.
Apple helps you keep your Mac secure with software updates.
The best way to keep your Mac secure is to run the latest software. When new updates are available, macOS sends you a notification — or you can opt in to have updates installed automatically when your Mac is not in use. macOS checks for new updates every day, so it’s easy to always have the latest and safest version.

Protection starts at the core.
Mac Sierra Download
The technically sophisticated runtime protections in macOS work at the very core of your Mac to keep your system safe from malware. This starts with state-of-the-art antivirus software built in to block and remove malware. Technologies like XD (execute disable), ASLR (address space layout randomization), and SIP (system integrity protection) make it difficult for malware to do harm, and they ensure that processes with root permission cannot change critical system files.
Download apps safely from the Mac App Store. And the internet.
Now apps from both the App Store and the internet can be installed worry-free. App Review makes sure each app in the App Store is reviewed before it’s accepted. Gatekeeper on your Mac ensures that all apps from the internet have already been checked by Apple for known malicious code — before you run them the first time. If there’s ever a problem with an app, Apple can quickly stop new installations and even block the app from launching again.

Stay in control of what data apps can access.
Apps need your permission to access files in your Documents, Downloads, and Desktop folders as well as in iCloud Drive and external volumes. And you’ll be prompted before any app can access the camera or mic, capture keyboard activity, or take a photo or video of your screen.
FileVault 2 encrypts your data.
With FileVault 2, your data is safe and secure — even if your Mac falls into the wrong hands. FileVault 2 encrypts the entire drive on your Mac, protecting your data with XTS-AES 128 encryption. And on Mac systems with an Apple T2 Security Chip, FileVault 2 keys are created and protected by the Secure Enclave for even more security.
Designed to protect your privacy.
The most secure browser for your Mac is the one that comes with your Mac. Built-in privacy features in Safari, like Intelligent Tracking Prevention, help keep your browsing your business. Automatic strong passwords make it easy to create and use unique passwords for all the sites you visit. And iCloud Keychain syncs those passwords securely across all your devices, so you don’t have to remember them. You can also easily find and upgrade any weak passwords you’ve previously used (and reused and reused and reused).
Automatic protections from harmful sites.
Safari also helps safeguard you against fraudulent websites and those that harbor malware — before you visit them. If a website seems suspicious, Safari prevents it from loading and notifies you. And when connecting to unencrypted sites, Safari will warn you. So everything you need to browse without worry is right at your fingertips.
Find your missing Mac with Find My.
The Find My app combines Find My iPhone and Find My Friends into a single, easy-to-use app on Mac, iPad, and iPhone. Find My can help you locate a missing Mac — even if it’s offline or sleeping — by sending out Bluetooth signals that can be detected by nearby Apple devices. These devices then relay the detected location of your Mac to iCloud so you can locate it in the Find My app. It’s all anonymous and encrypted end-to-end so no one — including Apple — knows the identity of any reporting device or the location of your Mac. And it all happens silently using tiny bits of data that piggyback on existing network traffic. So there’s no need to worry about your battery life, your data usage, or your privacy being compromised.
Mac El Capitan
Keep your Mac safe.
Even if it’s in the wrong hands.
All Mac models with the Apple T2 Security Chip support Activation Lock — just like your iPhone or iPad. So if your Mac is ever misplaced or lost, the only person who can erase and reactivate it is you.
