I recently setup VPN connections on my Macbook Pro running OS X 10.11.5 via the Apple Configurator. However, I am having trouble sending all traffic across the VPN Tunnel rather than through the regular Wi-Fi Connection.

Although the default route is created when the VPN is connected, no traffic is sent across the VPN (the VPN has been confirmed to be working in Windows and Linux).

Here is the output of:

netstat -rn

There is no option to enable/disable forwarding all traffic over the VPN like there is with PPTP.

How can I forward all traffic over the VPN when the VPN is active similar to how Windows and Linux already does this?

The more I dig into OS X and VPN Networking the more it seems like it would be easier to host a dual VPN of IPSec for the Windows and Linux clients and OpenVPN for OS X and iOS.

  • I'm currently seeing the same problem, with no obvious solution yet. Did you find a solution to this problem?

  • To answer my own comment, in a probably not very helpful manner: It seems like the routing tables were wrong, but I only solved this by rolling back the OS X test VM I was using. I suspect flushing the routing tables a bunch would help with this.

I met the same problem, but I found the checkbox exists in the "Apple Configurator2" VPN section.

By installing the profile with enabling that option, all my traffic seems to pass under VPN.
