Tunnelblick

Tunnelblick is an easy GUI for OpenVPN, with everything you need, including openvpn, tun/tap drivers, etc…

  • download tunnelblick from https://code.google.com/p/tunnelblick/
    • note that at the time of this writing, the stable version did not support Mavericks, so we downloaded the beta release
  • after installing, when you open it for the first time, it will create a folder on your desktop
  • you need to copy your server configuration file and static key into this folder, named with extensions .ovpn and .key respectively (for more info on a server file/key, see the building and configuring OpenVPN page)
  • rename the folder to what you want to call your connection, then add .tblk to the name and double click it
  • Tunnelblick will read the configuration and store it appropriately
  • continue setting up a client; Tunnelblick is managed by using the tunnel icon at the top of your screen

To finish configuring the VPN server you need to set up the port forwarding on your router, and Advanced Routing. This information is on the building and configuring OpenVPN page.
