Comment on OSX VPN Problems: Kill the racoon by Ettiene

sudo launchctl stop com.apple.racoon
sudo launchctl start com.apple.racoon

This should “restart” racoon

Killing racoon helped, but I then needed to restart racoon:
sudo /usr/sbin/racoon

Unfortunately, racoon would die when I disconnected from the VPN, so I have to use launchctl to run racoon:
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.racoon.plist

This just worked for me on Lion. Does anyone know why exactly? Seems like a bug to me.

Many thanks. I two was about to restart my Mac for the 100th time while right in the middle of something. There is something about remote desktop for windows or this ldap directory reader client im playing with that seem to hang up the connection. In worst case it brings my whole mac to a grinding hault. Power button only exits.

Still killing the racoon did the trick. im about to relay this info to everyone else in the company, lol.
