I hope if you add PDF converter to the toolbox.
Like, Image to PDF and PDF to Image, I think those are very required tools.

Thank you very much]]> 5 Mon, 18 Jun 2018 10:11:02 +0000 https://forum.parallels.com/threads/add-vpn-service.339984/ https://forum.parallels.com/threads/add-vpn-service.339984/ invalid@example.com (AlfS) AlfS
The network of my company prohibits VPN access directly from Mac IOX. At least the configuration is very difficult and requires a special, expensive VPN client for iOX.
For this (and many other) reasons, a tool would be desirable to access an (active) VPN connection from an MAc iOX on an active Parallees / Windows VM (like a Proxi). No idea whether this can be implemented at a reasonable cost, but would be a nice sales argument for parallels and its toolbox.

I have a workplace setup for my Macbook Pro 15" with one external monitor and one TV.
I work mostly with the internal display and the external monitor, but sometimes I need the TV also.
The problem is that I have to plug and unplug the TV each time I need it, because macOS always see the TV when the TV is on.
For example, if I watch a TV network or another HDMI input, the Mac see the TV and open some...
