Most customers should use our free Mac app — see VPN Software - Mac. This manual method is the fallback for managed Macs that can't install it.

Open the VPN configuration screen

Choose the Apple menu () > System Settings, then click Network in the sidebar.

Click the Action pop-up menu (…) at the bottom of the network list and choose Add VPN Configuration > L2TP over IPSec.

2

Fill in the connection details

Display name: Liberty Shield

Server address: l2tp.mysetup.co.uk

Account name: your Liberty Shield username

Password: your Liberty Shield password

Shared secret (pre-shared key): 953783903

macOS System Settings VPN configuration screen

The L2TP configuration sheet filled in for Liberty Shield

3

Connect

Click Create, then toggle the connection on — you can also connect from the VPN status menu in the menu bar.

Check it worked: visit showmemyip.com — it should show the VPN country.
