Setting Up a VPN on macOS Mojave 10.14.6 Using Google Drive

If you're looking to set up a Virtual Private Network (VPN) on your Mac running macOS Mojave 10.14.6, this article will guide you through the process of downloading and installing OpenVPN Connect, acquiring configuration files from your VPN provider, and importing them into the client.

To begin, you'll need to download an OpenVPN client for Mac. A popular choice is Tunnelblick, which is free and open-source. Once downloaded, follow the on-screen instructions to install it.

Next, acquire the OpenVPN configuration files from your VPN service provider. These files will usually be available for download on their website or through Google Drive, if you're using a provider like ExpressVPN. Once downloaded, import the configuration files into Tunnelblick by following these steps:

1. Launch Tunnelblick and click 'I have configuration files' on the Welcome screen.

2. Select the locations where your OpenVPN configuration files are stored, such as Google Drive or your downloads folder.

3. Click 'OpenVPN' to select it as the protocol for your VPN connection.

4. Enter your username, password, and verification code sent to your email address.

5. If prompted, enter your ExpressVPN credentials and click 'Sign In.'

If you're having trouble connecting to your VPN, there are a few common issues you can troubleshoot:

1. Incorrect DNS settings: Make sure your DNS settings are correct by trying using your VPN provider's recommended settings.

2. Third-party software conflicts: Temporarily disable any third-party software that may be interfering with your VPN connection, such as antivirus or firewall programs.

3. VPN protocol compatibility: Try using a different VPN protocol, such as Lightway, OpenVPN, or IKEv2, to see if it resolves the issue.

4. Firewall issues: Try temporarily disabling your Mac's firewall to see if it resolves the issue.

By following these steps and troubleshooting common issues, you should be able to successfully set up a VPN on your Mac running macOS Mojave 10.14.6 using Google Drive.
