I set up the VPN, so how do access server at work?

I am a complete novice when it comes to VPNs. I was given permission to work from home and was told I had to set up a VPN to access shared documents saved on the server. I have a PC at work and a MacBook Pro at home, and my work IT department had no idea on how to set up the VPN on the Mac and won't give me any support. (I tried and failed to get the VPN set up on our desktop PC at home and the work IT department claimed it was a problem with my broadband server). I did my research, got the VPN set up on the Mac, and it shows that I'm connected. I'm at a standstill. What do I do now? I apologize because I can't remember which version of the OS I have, but I bought the Mac almost a year ago, if that's any help.
I thank you in advance.

My question is even more basic than this. I can see on the network applications screen that I am connected, so where do I go from there? I don't know the security protocol.
At this time you are not providing enough information to get any informed help. Go back to IT and ask for the settings for the VPN on a PC, post them here, we'll translate them to Macspeak. Are you trying to access the desktop of the office machine or just the file storage areas on the server?
PS: Your IT department is hopeless.

Can you provide a detailed description of how to set up the Websites portion of 10.9 server to work with AUSST?

I've followed the instructions but can't get the ausst-server.local site to appear in my browser.

Steve,
Can you give more details about the error message and describe your setup when you receive them? Also, here is a great article on different synchronization options with HSDIO devices. This should answer some of your questions.

Are you using a v6 uitlity.. because it is a toy.. ??
Get v5 utility and then you can hold down the option key and select the right mode.
If you have lion, just install it.. For ML follow this.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.

PPTP-VPN + UFW how to get it to work?

Hi,
How can I configure UFW to work allow PPTP-VPN to pass through?
I have set-up the vpn and if UFW is disabled it is working fine. As soon as I enable it, it does not work anymore.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rufus

I have added the rules in `/etc/ufw/before.rules`:
# Allow GRE protocol for VPN
-A ufw-before-input -p 47 -j ACCEPT
-A ufw-before-output -p 47 -j ACCEPT
I have also added the rules in GUFW:
1723 ALLOW IN EVERYWHERE
1723 ALLOW OUT EVERYWHERE
1723 ALLOW IN (v6) EVERYWHERE
1723 ALLOW OUT (v6) EVERYWHERE
It should work...

HT200189 Why the VPN update for OS X server won't install?

Hello
Why the VPN update for OS X server won't install. It says "VPN update for OS X server can't be installed on the disk. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update" Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Is OS X Server setup on your MBP as an actual Server running the Services or are you just using it so you can remotely manage another Mac running OS X Server services?
VPN Update for Mavericks Server
Note: the update will only install if you have already launched Server app and used it to set up services.

This configuration is weird little bit. There is MatchExpression /app1 and MatchExpression /app2 and at the same time two <Location /weblogic> sections. Are you sure you understand what that configuration stands for?
Try something like this ...
<Location /app1>
SetHandler weblogic-handler
WebLogicCluster 127.0.0.1:7003,127.0.0.1:7005,127.0.0.1:7007,127.0.0.1:7103,127.0.0.1:7104

where /app1 and /app2 are contexts of your weblogic applications.

I'm trying to connect to my work's VPN. I am connected to the VPN, but I cannot access the server. I keep getting a message that says the server may not exist or is unavailable. I know that’s not the case because my coworkers are connected. Can someone please help me?

I have the same problem. It is only with tv shows and only with programs I have downloaded after the software update.
Apple support sent me the above link too....but it doesn't solve the problem...my computer is authorized and the content is in my library and will play on my Mac air, but it will not sync the tv shows, it keeps saying my computer isn't authorized for it.
No answers here, but you are definitely not alone with this issue.

Until the most recent update when the autocomplete location bar was selected, it "went" with no further clicking. Now I have to click the refresh arrow. It won't even work with the return. How can I make it work the old easier way?

cor-el, thank you so much. That fixed it, but does this mean I can't use AVG Safe Search.Is there a substitute? I do like the security (hopefully real) that it offers. What now? How do I get out of Safe Mode?

What is the best way to have complete security? Should I set up a VPN? How is that done and information used, if this is a method of further security. Thanks

Can anyone help me with applying settings for ultimate security and privacy. I like to keep the computer free from clutter and info, cookies, cache etc... Are there any applications or support I can add to the already wonderful OS. Should I set up a VPN? Any advise or knowledge would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I have read several articles in which it says "the rule of three" meaning three backups , is this for real?
I don't think you understood the context. It was meant to say that your Time Machine backup drive should be three times the capacity as the drive(s) backed up. If your drive were 100 GBs, then the backup drive for Time Machine should be 300 GBs. In fact it should be at least twice the capacity. More being better.
I also thought about the cloning aspect but have never used it before.
Cloned backups differ from Time Machine in that they are fully bootable (which is not the case for Time Machine) and only require a backup drive to be the same size as the drive backed up. Incremental backups simply replace old files with new copies and new files. This requires using third-party backup utilities such as:
Some Suggested Backup Software
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Data Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Others may be found at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files.
I would also like to use SL as a second OS with this computer , how would I do this without using my internal hd and adding partitions to it as I understand that SL is the only OS that you can boot externally from the new OS's that Apple has used.(Lion/ML)
Technically, this is a different topic and should have been posted separately.
Any version of OS X may be installed and booted from an external drive. But, iMacs made after 2009 cannot be started from the retail copy of Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard must be updated to 10.6.8 to boot any of the extant iMacs produced after 2009. This does not apply to the yet released new iMac which will only run Mountain Lion.

I set up the VPN, so how do access server at work?
