I can only turn the VPN on from the network tab in system settings

macOS, sonoma 14.5

If I try to toggle the VPN on from the Malwarebytes app, it says I need to enable permission from system settings (but this option doesn’t appear in system settings).

I can however just enable the VPN from the network tab in system settings. Does anyone know what’s going on?

Hello @spectralconfetti

My name is Anthony and I work with the Support team at Malwarebytes. I would love to open you a Support ticket and have one of our Mac specialists review your situation to see what may be occurring. Could you please PM me your email address?

Thanks!

Can I just try reinstalling Malwarebytes?

Hello -

I spoke with one of our Mac specialists, this is a currently known issue and the team is working to have it corrected in an upcoming product update.

As you mentioned, a workaround for right now to activate the VPN would be to turn the VPN on from the System Settings.

Sorry for the trouble!

Thanks,
Anthony

Thank you for the response! Just glad it’s not on my end.
