Mac OS need a dedicated download if you decide to use SSL VPN on those OS.
The article will always give you the latest available download, so you can follow this article, to get informed, when a new update is available (Ventura 13.0.1, Monterey 12).
Updates are usually the latest 4 weeks after a new mac OS version is released available. Sometimes even faster, but always after the official release, to fine-tune the setup and version.
Note: SecuExtender is also compatible with m1 chips if the "Rosetta 2 Emulation" is used.
Second Note: In case you are wondering where to enter the license key in the client, a dialogue will appear as soon as the 30 days trial runs out.

Hi, thanks for the update! The new version runs on macOS Mojave, but there's maybe some glitch with the dark mode since the second tab looks like this:

Dear Timo!
Thnx This is already reported..
But thanks again for the reminder!
Hi Mark
Thanx for this version which supports OSX 10.14 aka Mojave!
Question: Which licence/software version is valid for 1.1.8? This seems to be sort of an alpha version but I would like to buy an according key for long-term usage. The MAC version costs as we know.
regards
Hi
But the version for Mojave 10.14 is only a trial version?
How can we use secuextender on Mac system ?
Tks
Hi,
I have installed this 1.1.8 version on Mojave 14.4 (before 14.2) and I have problem with connect to VPN. It is connecting. In log on computer I can see:
Requesting authentication token from client,
No authentication token present, requesting authentication details.
Authentication attempt aborted.
State changed to Disconnected
But I cannot connect. If I connect on Windows and try connect on Mac, Windows are disconnected. So some communication is there.
Hi Georgerr,
we´´ll follow up an a ticket with you to assist.
Really Strange problem here,
SecuExtender on windows client is working perfectly, connects and is able to ping the whole network E.G ping 10.101.0.1 (Zywall) And another example that works
ping (10.1.18.109) this is using route Client > SecuExtender > Zywall > Site to Site VPN -> Server
But on an OS X machine, I can see in the details when I try to ping 10.1.18.109 or 10.101.0.1 some traffic is being sent out via the VPN but no responses are coming through
I have the same problem as Martin Baker on Mac OS.
I found this solution: https://kb.zyxel.com/KB/searchArticle!gwsViewDetail.action?articleOid=015733&lang=EN###
Unfortunately provided answer does not solve problem. I am able to ping any IP address, but DNS queries cannot be resolved.
I do not have access to make it changes on router to "Force all client traffic to enter SSL VPN tunnel".
Screenshot shows how I configured it.
I found a solution! Open your connections panel. Double click on the connection. Go to "Advanced" and uncomment (remove "#" sign) viscosity dns full. This fixed my problem.
Hello. I am currently beta testing macos Monterey. Would it be possible to have a beta version of SecuExtender for mac to test it along? Thank you very much
Hi Stefano,
we are not providing Beta versions for upcoming macOS versions.
After the release of Monterey, it can take up to 4 weeks then the new client will be published.
Kind Regards,
Tobias
Hello, it seems that this version of SecuExtender does not allows installation on the latest version of Monterey (12.3).
Is there any planned update of your software ?
Best regards
