How to Fix the Error: Unable to Add VPN Configuration
 

This error occurs when VPN Tracker lacks the necessary permissions to configure system VPN settings. Possible causes include:

  • An incomplete installation.
  • macOS reaching its limit on VPN configurations due to existing VPN setups from other apps.

How to Fix:

1. Check Existing VPN Configurations:

  • Open System Settings and navigate to the VPN section.
  • Review all listed VPN connections, paying special attention to duplicate or outdated configurations.
  • Remove unnecessary VPNs, particularly those from other apps.
  • If you only have one other VPN configuration listed, remove it.

2. Restart VPN Tracker and Add the VPN Configuration:

  • Launch VPN Tracker and attempt to add the VPN configuration again.
  • If macOS prompts for permission to modify VPN configurations, click "Allow"—it should not require an admin password at this stage.
  • Try connecting through VPN Tracker again. It should now work without any issues.

3. Restore Other VPN Connections:

  • Open the other VPN app whose configuration you removed earlier.
  • The app should prompt you to re-add its VPN configuration.

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the permission error and successfully establish a VPN connection using VPN Tracker.
