To address the security vulnerability in your VPN setup,follow these organized steps:

1. Verify Public IP Address:

   • Ensure the public IP address is within the recommended range (typically 192.168..1 to 23.24.24.1 on the same network).
   • If your IP is not within this range, update it using an updated public IP address.

2. Check Private Server Configuration:

   • Verify that the private server's hostname is correctly configured to prevent bypassing the VPN's security measures.
   • Ensure the host is not set to a domain or port that allows bypass.

3. Update VPN Service:

   Check if your VPN service is actively updated. If not, download the latest version or use a new service.

4. Ensure VPN Compatibility:

   Confirm that your VPN service supports Mac-specific protocols and tools. Use updated versions of VPNs like VPCache, OpenVPN, or others.

5. Correct IP/Hostname Entry:

   Enter the correct public IP address and hostname. Avoid using any random IP or hostname.

6. Contact Support:

   If the issue persists, contact your VPN provider or support team for assistance.

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the security vulnerability and ensure your VPN connection is secure. If the problem continues, professional support is recommended.
