Surf Shark VPN on MacOS Sonoma

Hi all,

I recently installed Surf Shark VPN on my Mac running Sonoma 14.2.1. After installation it placed an icon in the extras bar near the clock.

When I VO shift space on the icon, a window opens.

Then I click on the VPN tab along the bottom of this window.

Inside this window is a button used to connect the VPN. I have placed focus on this button. VO space does nothing. VO shift space, does nothing. So, I am unable to connect the VPN.

I would appreciate any help with this issue.

I would be more than happy to change to a more accessible VPN if recommended.

Regards,

Frankie

I don't use Surfshark VPN, but a trick that sometimes works to click a misbehaving button is to focus on it, route the mouse pointer to it by pressing VO-Command-F5, (or VO-Globe-5 if you're using a Mac with a Touch Bar) and physically click the mouse.

Thanks for the tip, but your suggestion didn’t work for me.
