How to set up a VPN connection on a Mac

More boring stuff.

To set up VPN connection

1. Click on AirPort symbol on the top right corner of your top bar (it looks like an expanding sound wave).
2. Choose "Open Internet Connect"
3. Choose "VPN"
4. Choose either L2TP (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol) or PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol). Mine's PPTP.
5. Enter server address (something.something.something), your user name and password.

Remove a VPN configuration (in case you got the L2TP/ PPTP wrong)

1. From the Apple (top left), select "System Preferences".
2. In System Preferences, select Network.
3. From the pull-down menu next to "Show:", select Network Port Configurations.
4. In the list of port configurations, select the VPN configuration you wish to remove, then click Delete.
5. Click Apply Now to remove the configuration from Internet Connect.

Now that you're connected, where are your files?

1. Go to "Finder"
2. Choose "Network". You should be able to view your network there (scroll down if required).
