Two links are provided. The first is broken, so use the second one.</div><div style="margin: 0px;"> - this is a compiled Qt, so it takes a few seconds to install.</div><div style="margin: 0px;"><br></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;">2) Install the current release of the TUN/TAP driver for Mac OSX.</div><div style="margin: 0px;"> - this also happens in seconds</div><div style="margin: 0px;"><br></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;">3) The finally, install the Shrew Soft VPN client.</div><div style="margin: 0px;"> - this is a compiled Shrew, ready to run</div><div style="margin: 0px;"> - the file is not listed on the Shrew web site, but it downloads successfully</div><div style="margin: 0px;"> - once again, takes moments…</div><div style="margin: 0px;"><br></div><div style="margin: 0px;">4) Go back to system prefs and set the Allow apps back to its previous setting, probably <i>App Store and indentified developers</i></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><i><br></i></div><div style="margin: 0px;">5) Reboot! this is required, I think, to start the TUN driver.

It is downloaded from the Shrew web site via a link.
