[Notice] New Mac OS and iOS will take away the PPTP service!

Dear iPhone/iPad and Mac Users. We already announced, Apple co. announces that new Mac OS Sierra and iOS 10 will be released this month or next month. iPhone 7 will be released on 16th September, so I think iOS will be released until the iPhone 7 release.
