Note: Manual removal of a VPN profile may be required on 5 and earlier versions of VPN Unlimited on macOS only.
To manually remove a profile on your macOS, follow these steps:
- Go to System Preferences and select Profiles.
- Delete the VPN profile, and enter the user password if requested.
- Then, go to Network Connections.
- If you see any connections which start with or include “VPN”, delete them.
- If the
button isn’t available, there is an alternative way to remove the VPN profile on your macOS (see below).
In Terminal type networksetup -removenetworkservice “yournetworkservice”
Instead of yournetworkservice
, type the name of the network service you want to remove from your macOS device, using quotation marks. If you are not sure about its correct name, you can find it in the list of your network services.
To view this list, go to Terminal: networksetup -listallnetworkservices
Make sure that you typed the name of the network service exactly in the same way as it appears in the list.
To ensure that the network service is removed on your macOS, you can view the list of network services again:
Terminal: networksetup -listallnetworkservices
Note. Only Terminal is required, no XCode. The .plist will update automatically; you don’t need to copy or delete it. The remove command bypasses the GUI and removes the service whether or not the
button is greyed out.
Please note that your KeepSolid ID is still active. If you want to delete your KeepSolid account as well follow this step-by-step guide.
More information about KeepSolid ID you can find on this page.
