Hi,
I used to have an Cisco IPSEC-VPN running and enabled on demand connections on my Mac and iDevices. This used to work w/o any flaws.
I recently switched to Unifi running a L2TP-VPN and here's where my problems start:
VPN on demand works fine on my iDevices, but not on my Mac.
When I connect to a WiFi other than my home, it connects, disconnects, connects, disconnects, etc.
The config I used on all devices is essentially the same. This used to work with the Cisco VPN.
I noticed the "on demand" button is missing from this option only on the Mac. It was available while I used to connect to the Cisco IPSEC.
When adding the connection manually, without the on demand rules, it works.
Is there anything I'm missing?
