LaundryCard VPN with Apple iOS10 / macOS Sierra

Connectivity and Security

Apple iOS 10 and macOS Sierra no longer support VPN connections using the PPTP protocol, which LaundryCard firewalls shipped before Nov 14, 2016 use .

MikroTik hex lites shipped after this date will be running RouterOS v6.37.1 or greater. 

Operators needing to remotely manage their store have two options depending on their current firewall:

Upgrade

Stores currently using one of the below devices must purchase a new C-4311 firewall ($200). These older devices are no longer supported.

Advanced Exchange

Stores with a C-4311 firewall shipped prior to Nov 14, 2016 will need to be reconfigured. This cannot be done remotely.
