This page assumes that you are successfully connected to a VPN server. This guide is meant for the most common setups, so if it doesn't apply to your situation, or doesn't help, see the Support page for guidance. OpenVPN is such a powerful tool with so many options, and computer configurations are so varied, that it is impossible to have an exhaustive troubleshooting guide. If one way or the other solves your problem, you're done! Troubleshooting this problem could be very simple: try connecting the VPN with and without "Set nameserver" selected.

This document describes how to manually configure the TCP/IP settings within Mac OS X. This is useful when the Mac computer needs to be remotely accessible, and NAT settings (such as port forwarding or DMZ) have been configured in the router.

This will cause the IP address on the Mac computer to remain the same, and not change. This would include manually configuring the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS addresses. In some cases, the TCP/IP settings on the Macintosh machine may need to be manually configured for Internet access.
