Check the box to "Show VPN status in menu bar" for easy access later.
Now click on "Authentication Settings...". In the list that appears select Password. Type in your USAIP.EU password and click OK. Under Machine Authentication select "Shared Secret:" and fill out the field with: usaip
Click on "Advanced" and check "Send all traffic over VPN connection" . Then click "OK" and "Apply"
You are now all set! Look up to the top right in your menu bar and you should see the network menubar item. Click on it and then click "Connect"
When the VPN is active, you see the counter running.
Disconnect by selecting the network menubar and clicking on "Disconnect"
