SmartSwitch help guide screenshot 

Just downloaded the SmartSwitch update for Mac. It gives instructions for enabling the extension for "Mac OS 13 or more" but the privacy & security tab on my Mac doesn't look like this. (I'm on OS Sequoia) I don't see anything that says "some system software requires your attention before it can be used." 

Any tips of how to enable that extension on Mac?

@ScottBob I just downloaded Smart Switch to my Mac running Sequoia. It walked me through all the steps on how to enable the extension. I recommend that you uninstall Smart Switch, download the latest version, and re-install it.

Thanks, that worked! Simple and effective

(for the sake of others... I uninstalled, downloaded the latest software from online, reinstalled, restarted computer, and then opened the system settings and gave permission for all the drivers, accepted the terms & conditions, and was all set.)

@jaideepmehta On your Mac:

  1. Select System settings on the Apple menu.
  2. Select Privacy & Security
  3. Click on Local network
  4. Find Smart switch and enable it. 

Now you should be able to get to the internet from Smart Switch.
