Occasionally I’ll receive this error when trying to connect to VPN when using Mac’s built-in Cisco VPN client.
VPN Connection
A configuration error occurred. Verify your settings and try reconnecting.
To fix:

0 265 1 0 0:00.22 ?? 0:00.34 /usr/sbin/racoon

reaction:~ user$ sudo /usr/sbin/racoon
reaction:~ user$ ps -ef | grep racoon
0 347 1 0 0:00.00 ?? 0:00.01 /usr/sbin/racoon -x
501 349 335 0 0:00.00 ttys001 0:00.00 grep racoon |
Then try and reconnect to VPN. That’ll save you from having to reboot to fix your VPN.
