MAC OSX PPTP setup guide
NOTE - For MAC OSX, we recommend that you use L2TP using the guide here.
Before you start, ensure that you are not connected to another VPN already, and that you do not have any other unblocking solutions (such as Hola) installed on your machine. If you have a Hola extension on your browser you need to remove it (it will still be active even if its disabled).
Open System Preferences and go to the Network section.
Click the + button in the lower-left corner of the window.
Select VPN from the Interface drop-down menu.
Select PPTP from the VPN Type drop-down menu.
Enter anything you like for the Service Name.
Click Create.
For the Server Address, enter one of the following (depending on the content you want to view):
