Important
I am writing this post about an issue I've been having with my 2019 Macbook Pro running Catalina 10.15.5. Often, when I open my laptop, the built-in keyboard and trackpad are unresponsive. If I don't close the laptop, a window will pop up after 15-30 seconds that says 'Bluetooth keyboard setup. With macOS Catalina, Apple is officially killing all compatibility support for 32-bit applications on macOS. This change gives me mixed feelings. While the banhammer was bound to come eventually, I still use one 32-bit application, namely Astrill VPN. I'll have to wait and see when Astrill developers update their macOS client. Once you are connected, you will see Status: Connected, and to disconnect from Astrill L2TP VPN, simply click on Disconnect button. NOTE: When using PPTP/L2TP/IPSec VPN over 3G connection, make sure proxy settings are disabled. May 21, 2018 CERTAIN SITES ARE NOT WORKING WHEN USING ASTRILL APPLET. Please disable OpenDNS on your router and your PC as well. PC should use DHCP from VPN router. This way it will use Astrill DNS servers configured on router and all sites will work. WHEN REMEMBER PASSWORD IN ASTRILL APPLICATION DOES NOT WORK. HelpReset Settings on Astrill Application.
