To use the macOS inbuilt support for Cisco VPN you will first need to open System Preferences, which you can do from the dock, the Apple menu or by finding it in the Applications folder. From the System Preferences window click the Network icon to bring up the Network window. Get Started with OpenVPN Connect. OpenVPN Connect is the free and full-featured VPN Client that is developed in-house. It is the official Client for all our VPN solutions. Any other OpenVPN protocol compatible Server will work with it too. Our desktop client software is directly distributed from our Access Server User portal. https://sterlingyellow132.weebly.com/adobe-photoshop-for-mac-os-catalina-free-download.html.
I had a previous generation MacBook Pro (it also ran Sierra) that I could force DNS resolution with local servers using the networksetup -setdnsservers operation before and after (to set and then unset DNS servers) the openvpn operation in a tidy little shell script. I know this isn't the cleanest way to do things, but it worked, and I was happy. Now I have the current generation (the one with the stupid touch bar that has the stupid virtual escape key which makes vi really fun) MBP (still macOS Sierra), but this script no longer works. The DNS servers get set, but I am entirely unable to perform local name resolution when I connect. So, I looked into it and found that I could add an interface up/down script pair that is a wrapper for scutil to make the resolver changes, but that REALLY doesn't work.. I'm guessing I have a bum script because if I run scutil --dns, all the resolvers are gone. And when it runs the down script, the network configuration gets all kinds of screwed up.. the settings panel insists that the Wi-Fi connection can't get an IP address even though all network services continue to function as normal. To fix it, I have to reboot. I even tried downloading the GUI client and stop using my OVPN scripts, but that also doesn't work any more, which really confuses me. I know that the server is handing out DNS servers because Windows hosts work just fine. The only thing I've noticed that seems weird is that the MBP stubbornly hangs on to a configuration that points all DNS queries to the local name resolver. I don't know if the old machine also did that or not, but I thought it might be a data point.from my ovpn config file:
