Product Description:

Tunnelblick is a simple graphical user interface for the great VPN software OpenVPN 2.0 and higher. It is written in Cocoa and comes in a ready to use distribution with all necessary binaries and drivers. It supports the Apple Keychain to store your username and passwort or your certificate passphrase so you don't have to enter it again.

What's new in this version:

fix linking problem that resulted in lzo compression not working on PowerPC
prevent user from launching tunnelblick directly from the dmg
remove experimental status from 'Set Nameserver' and make it the default
upgrade to OpenVPN 2.1_rc15
let buffered openvpn log messages appear in the GUI log
possible fix for the crash if password is mistyped when using username/password authentication
add version number to plist file
don't restart connections on NetworkDidChange notification. fixes issue where existing connections would be reset when starting multiple simultaneous vpn connections.
always use --script-security 2 so users are allowed to supply custom up/down scripts. needed for OpenVPN 2.1
add missing example config file
properly escape special chars in username or password/passphrase before passing them over to the management interface. fixes issue where the password/passphrase was not accepted when it contained backslashes or " chars.
use NSStatusWindowLevel for notification windows. fixes issue that Tunnelblick icon remained visible in spaces or fullscreen mode of some apps.
increase robustness when killing openvpn children by explicitly sending the SIGTERM to the process id instead of just sending "signal SIGTERM" over the management socket
kill all openvpn processes on quit. fixes a rare condition where openvpn processes would be left over on Tunnelblick quit
Add German, French, Japanese, Korean and Norwegian translations

Solid, nice fixes in the last version - Version: 3.0b10, 5/16/2009 05:11AM PST

OpenVPN is the best thing since sliced bread and the Tunnelblick makes the otherwise config and setup dead-simple. Been using it for a while with untangle (untangle.com) hosted VPN and it really works as advertised.

Worked great under Tiger. But, the Leopard version is broken, and there have been no updates for three months now. Under Leopard, it crashes frequently.
