MacOS Catalina PPTP.ppp is missing

Question

Latest macOS Catalina update has removed PPTP.ppp plugin, rendering PPTP VPN connections impossible. Has anybody found a solution to this? Can the PPTP.ppp plugin be manually installed?

I know PPTP VPN has been deprecated a long time ago, but my employer is unwilling to upgrade.

Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

It would appear that there is no solution at this point. PPTP is no longer supported by MacOS natively and is removed from the kernel. Some providers are popping up (https://www.vpntracker.com/us/download.html#vpnt365) but otherwise move to another protocol.

Answer 2

I tested VPN Tracker with PPTP last night and it's functional.

Answer 3

+1 VPNTracker works like a dream. We had to enable MPPE or MPEE? encryption in the VPN router before it would work. Using UTT ER4240 VPN Router

Answer 4

There is a workaround. Use the Linux PPTP Client.

However I couldn't get MPPE to work. But I'm sure it's possible, as VPNTracker and PrimoVPN do it.
