Lately I discovered that connecting to a VPN via PPTP option has been removed in the new mac os - sierra. I tried multiple application to do so - all failed. How can I connect to my VPN over PPTP?

ps. I don't want to use L2TP because I don't have a pre shared key (I also don't know what it is).

The FlowVPN client is free (and works with any provider).

It supports PPTP and OpenVPN on macOS Sierra:

Just overwrite the FlowVPN server address with any server and it connects.
