Connect Dostup.io on Mac

Add a VPN connection in your Mac settings and enter the details from your Dostup.io dashboard.

What you need

Open Connection settings in your Dostup.io dashboard. This section contains your server address, login and VPN password. You will need them in step 2.

The icon beside each value copies it. The eye icon beside the password reveals it. Use these buttons to avoid typing the details by hand.

Connection settings in the dashboard: server address, login, password and platform buttons — The screenshot uses demonstration values. Use the values from your own dashboard to connect. Click the image to open it at full size.

For a quick setup guide in your dashboard, choose your platform under Connect a Device.

Step 1. Add a VPN connection

On your Mac, open Apple menu → System Settings → Network.
Click the three-dot menu … below the list of network services.
Select Add VPN Configuration → IKEv2.

On some macOS versions, the same command is under System Settings → VPN → Add VPN Configuration.

Step 2. Enter connection details

Copy the server address, login and password from Connection settings in your dashboard and paste them into the VPN settings on your Mac. Fill in the remaining fields using the table.

VPN settings
Field on your device	What to enter
Display name	Any value
Server address	Copy Server Address from your dashboard
Remote ID	Paste the same server address again
Local ID	Leave blank
User authentication	Username
Username	Copy Login from your dashboard
Password	Copy Password from your dashboard

Selecting Username authentication for IKEv2 on Mac — Select Username under User authentication. Use the server, login and password from your own dashboard. Click the image to enlarge it.

Step 3. Connect

Click Create to save the configuration.
Open VPN, select the connection you created, and turn it on.
Wait for the status to change to Connected.

If it does not connect

The VPN section is missing: Open Network settings and use the three-dot menu below the services list to add the first configuration.
macOS asks for the account details again: Copy the username and password from Connection settings in your dashboard again and check the server address.
The server cannot be verified: Turn on automatic date and time, then try the connection again.

If the problem continues, email support@dostup.io. Include the Mac model, macOS version, and exact error text.
