MAC SSTP
MAC SSTP
I recently encountered a problem with the latest MacOS Catalina release. The removal of the PPTP plug-in stopped our client from connecting to the server via the VPN software we used called Shimo. We and a colleague decided to switch from PPTP to L2TP, but the connection failed. So we set SSTP as a backup option. After researching for hours, we found a solution on forums. Below is a step-by-step guide.
1. Open Terminal
2. Run the following command:
`ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebr...er/install)"`
3. Type your password when prompted
4. Proceed to next step
5. Install sstp-client using Homebrew
6. Visit the official site: https://www.axot.org/2015/03/03/isstp-a-...r-mac-osx/
7. Launch iSSTP from Applications
8. Follow the instructions in the app
9. Open a new terminal session
10. Copy the SSTP binary to Applications/iSstp.app
11. Navigate into the directory
12. Execute: `sudo rm installed`
13. Run the installation script: `sudo sh ./install.sh`
14. Verify the installation with `otool -L sstpc`
15. Test the connection

Instead of OpenVPN, you could opt for a simpler solution that offers better security and simpler configuration.
You can implement certificate authentication in SSTP for Azure VPN by configuring the client to use certificates instead of pre-shared keys. This involves setting up trust anchors, generating or obtaining certificates, and ensuring the SSTP client communicates securely with the VPN gateway using mutual TLS. Follow Azure's documentation for detailed steps.
