Hi @Robert
Welcome to the forum. Make yourself at home.
There are several VPN configurations: PPTP, L2TP, L2TP/IPSEC, IKEv1, IKEv2 ... so it is difficult to help you without more information,
I suggest you to provide your configuration, traces, logs ...
Regards

HI Alfonso
I'm using PPTP configuration, it was working perfectly in both Windows and Mac clients. The Macbooks i have were updated to Mac OS Mojave. I downloaded the Zywall SecuExtender version 1.1.8, since the other version didn't work anymore. Now after configure it correctly the server info etc, it cant connect to the vpn on MAC.
This is the log of the attempt:

HI Robert additionally you might try the native MacOS VPN client using L2TP over IPSEC . Refer to the System Preferences / Network / + (add a new interface)
Its very straightforward and reliable. (MacOS 10.10..... 10.14) stable if you are using basic L2TP.
This works fine with USG appliances... make sure your phase 1 (VPN Gateway) and phase 2 (Conn) settings are compatible with some iOS devices

Hi @Robert
Welcome to Zyxel Community. 😊
Can you post the USG error log as well? It would be helpful to troubleshoot this issue.
Go to “MONITOR > Log > View Log”

Hi @Robert
That’s weird. Windows secure extender is okay, but fail on MAC.
The USG log indicated that user has logged in, but MAC log is “Disconnected”.
I will contact you to troubleshoot it via private message.
