I don't use OS X myself (Linux on the road) but recommend students w/OS X to use
TunnelBlick, an OpenVPN client:

For low-volatile content, where you just need to get over the border and/or off
the SP, VPNBook's OpenVPN server is great as it also offers a tunnel over 443,
80 and 53 - useful when on a non-net-neutral pipe with prejudice against VPN
traffic:

For all else, I run my own OpenVPN servers. Very easy to set up.
FYI never use a closed source VPN client, even if the content is non-volatile.
It might be FedWare or simply dodgy; VPN clients generally need to exec with
root privileges. OpenVPN clients (like TunnelBlick) are your best bet.
