Aventail Connect VPN on Mac OS X

Here's a tip that can save you some trouble. If you use SonicWall Aventail Connect to make VPN connections on Mac OS X, you'll run into the same problem I did eventually. If you system crashes while using the Aventail it won't start again unless you cleanup some files.

The files are located in:


/Users/<YOUR USER>/Library/Application Support/Aventail/run


with the names: SEM.pid and SEM.sock.


Just remove both and Aventail will start and connect normally.

Aventail Connect VPN is good but now finally switched to "Hotspot Shield" VPN for 100% Mac Internet Security. I always use this Virtual Private Network rather than using any other VPN service providers. No need to configure any thing just install it and use it.
