[vpn-help] OSX Mountain Lion

[Damian ONeill]

Hi can someone provide instructions for uninstalling Shrew on OSX.  Since installing this software (or its dependencies, QT or TunTap) my OSX internal IPSec VPN software no longer works. 



I followed the procedures below to install the software. 


There are two pre-requisites before running the native install package ...

1) Install the LGPL Qt Framework for Mac OSX ...

http://get.qt.nokia.com/qt/source/qt-mac-opensource-4.7.1.dmg


2) Install the current release of the TUN/TAP driver for Mac OSX ...

http://tuntaposx.sourceforge.net/download.xhtml


You can then proceed to install the Shrew Soft VPN client ...
www.shrew.net/download/vpn/vpn-client-install.dmg





I have since removed tun tap with the following instructions. 


I want to remove the software from my computer. How do I do that?

Unfortunately, Apple's installer packages do not provide a way to remove software. Therefore, you will need to delete the files manually. Just remove the following directories (you need to do this with Administrator privileges):

	• /Library/Extensions/tap.kext
	• /Library/Extensions/tun.kext
	• /Library/StartupItems/tap
	• /Library/StartupItems/tun
That's it!



Thanks,
Damian.
