Apple disabled native PPTP VPN in macOS Sierra for good reason – it is highly insecure. However, sometimes for reasons completely outside of your control you need to use a PPTP VPN. Luckily, there is a free option through Flow VPN:

Cloak VPN is an easy-to-use Virtual Private Network Tunneling solution that boasts a lot of features. By using Cloak VPN you can browse internet anonymously. However the only drawback about it is that it is only available for Apple products, such as iPhones, iPads, iPods, and Mac computers.
Once you download the client, simply type in the VPN address such as “pptpvpn.dal01.softlayer.com” with your username and password. PS – You can find a full list of SoftLayer PPTP VPN urls at the bottom of this guide: https://knowledgelayer.softlayer.com/procedure/set-pptp-vpn-mac-os-x-10x
I did observe a defect while working with SoftLayer and Flow VPN. Your password cannot have the “#” special character in it or you will get invalid password errors. I couldn’t tell if the defect is with Flow VPN or SoftLayer.

Lately I discovered that connecting to a VPN via PPTP option has been removed in the new mac os - sierra.I tried multiple application to do so - all failed.How can I connect to my VPN over PPTP?
ps. I don't want to use L2TP because I don't have a pre shared key (I also don't know what it is).

The FlowVPN client is free (and works with any provider).
It supports PPTP and OpenVPN on macOS Sierra:
Just overwrite the FlowVPN server address with any server and it connects.

VPN PPTP in Sierra is dismissed because it is not a secure method of communication.To solve the problem; you can install software Shimo that works with the operating system Sierra
