MAC SSTP

[KingShamus]

So I've recently had an issue with the new version of MacOS Catalina, the removal of the PPTP plug in means that a client i work for could no longer access there server through a VPN software we used to work called Shimo, me and a colleague decided to move the server from PPTP to a L2TP protocol but the L2TP connection wouldnt work so we enabled SSTP as a backup, after 3 hours digging through forums i eventually found a way to get SSTP working on MacOS, below is a step by step walkthrough guide

 

1.     Launch Terminal

2.     enter following command

3.     ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" < /dev/null 2> /dev/null

4.     enter password if prompted

5.     enter next command

6.     brew install sstp-client (Make note of the Save location as you may need to make changes to step 10)

7.     Then install iSSTP and move to applications

8.     https://www.axot.org/2015/03/03/isstp-a-sstp-client-for-mac-osx/

9.     another terminal session

10.   sudo cp /usr/local/Cellar/sstp-client/1.0.12_1/sbin/sstpc /Applications/iSstp.app/Contents/Resources/sstpc

11.   run the following commands

12.   cd /Applications/iSstp.app/Contents/Resources

13.   sudo rm installed

14.   sudo sh ./install.sh

15.   otool -L sstpc

16.   and test

Why not just using OpenVPN? It's so far more secure and easy to setup

Pricing mainly, the client doesn't want to spend money on anything other than labour, even if that means paying more in labour costs (makes 0 sense but it gets me paid)

How can I use certificate auth with sstp? I need this to connect to Azure VPN.
