If you’ve set up a PPTP VPN server, iOS 10 and macOS Sierra users won’t be able to connect to it.

Learn about alternatives you can use to protect your data. They went on to counsel iOS users with the following statement: “System administrators preparing for iOS 10 and macOS Sierra should stop using PPTP connections for VPN. But, the good news is there are viable alternatives to point-to-point tunneling for VPN users seeking secure pass-through connectivity.Īpple Support posted a message in July advising the “removal of PPTP VPN before you upgrade to iOS 10 and macOS Sierra”. Apparently, this has been a recurring problem for a while now, when PPTP clients have upgraded to ostensibly superior versions of Apple operating systems and have found the PPTP/VPN choice removed. This is the VPN method many use to access their systems externally, especially for Windows users, so for now the recommendation is to not upgrade your device to iOS 10 if you are a staunch PPTP fan. Apple iOS 10 does not support PPTP VPN connections nor will the pass-through work whilst tethering off a phone.

Don’t upgrade your mobile device to Apple iOS 10 just yet if you prefer PPTP connections for VPN.
