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:

  • Includes OpenVPN version 2.1_rc20, which fixes problems with the "redirect-gateway" option.
  • Includes the 32/64-bit version of tuntap, which fixes problems running Tunnelblick on Snow Leopard under the 64-bit kernel. Thanks to the tuntap project, to Mohammad A. Haque for Xcode help, and to Jean-Philippe Jung for testing.
  • Stores username in Keychain instead of preferences.
  • Stores shadow copies of configuration files in /Library/Application Support/Tunnelblick/Users/username instead of /Library/Tunnelblick/username.
  • Bug fixes: Fixes bugs that interfere with storage or retrieval of usernames and passwords. Adds new configs to OpenVPN Log window when it has been opened but is currently closed. Clears "Automatically launch Tunnelblick upon login" for error exits. Clean exit if 'running from .dmg' error. Fixes several memory and CF leaks. Fixes bug that caused attempt to kill openvpn process that had already been killed. Fixes potential problem detecting locked configuration files during shadow copying. Installer detects and reports errors making ownership and permission modifications.
  • Enhancement: Creates openvpn-down-root.so and puts a copy of it in Tunnelblick.app/Contents/Resources, allowing use of OpenVPN 'user' and 'group' options by adding a line to the configuration file. See the Using Tunnelblick wiki for details.
  • Deployment enhancements: Several changes have been made which make it easy to create a customized version of Tunnelblick that can easily be deployed to multiple clients or installed once for all users of a computer. Configuration, key, and certificate files and up/down scripts can be put into a Deploy folder within Tunnelblick.app, and Tunnelblick will use them instead of using files in ~/Library/openvpn. These files are read-only, and, combined with read-only preference overrides, can create a tamper-proof application. Such deployed applications may be updated via the automatic update mechanism without losing the configuration information. Detailed information is available in the Deploying Tunnelblick wiki.
  • Other enhancements: Clarifies language in a few places. Adds a specific error message if unrecoverable error. Warns if all config files removed and gives a choice of quitting or installing and editing a sample config file. Warns if zero-length passphrase, username, or password. Adds Tunnelblick icon and the configuration name to all applicable dialog windows. Puts dialogs on top of other windows.

Tunnelblick ReviewSolid, 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.
