iOS 10 and macOS Sierra no longer support PPTP for VPN

[Ichinisan]

First, I noticed my VPN connection profiles disappeared after I updated to iOS 10 public beta. Then I found this:

Is Junos Pulse affected? How good is Pulse Secure on OS X? Pulse Secure is supposed to replace Junos Pulse.

On Win 10, I can't get Pulse Secure to work with my workplace. I am using the legacy Junos Pulse and it works fine on Win 10. Right now I am using Junos Pulse on OS X 10.11 El Capitan as well, but won't upgrade to 10.12 if Junos Pulse stops working.

PPTP vpn is not available now but we still can use Open vpn and L2TP/IP Sec vpn tunnels in these operating systems.

This kind of vpn connection is very secure and reliable.

Below you can find simple step by step guides how to use VPN in iOS 10.
