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

VPN

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?

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
