Download tunnelblick here,the current version I got was 3.0 RC3. according to this hint from ,tunnelblick might be needed to get OpenVPN working correctly.Making these copies will also ensure your changes won’t be overwritten when OpenVPN is updated. I also grabbed the nf file and copied it to my simplier openvpn folder. The sample server and client configuration files can be found at /opt/local/share/doc/openvpn2/sample-config-files.You could make it easier and put it in /etc/openvpn too, but sometimes I forget to check there… I copied the openvpn2 folder to someplace easier to find like /opt/local/etc/openvpn. The easy-rsa folder can be found at /opt/local/share/doc/openvpn2/easy-rsa.You can follow the Linux instructions pretty closely, and things will work out well with a few exceptions: Now we turn to the OpenVPN site for configuration instructions. This will get you most of the packages you need to get things going. They have the regular openvpn port, but it is an older (1.6) version, and that won’t due. But I wanted it on a Mac! The ever useful Darwinports has a port of OpenVPN, labelled “openvpn2”. Thats fine, probably what most people have as servers. Most tutorials deal with using Linux or Windows.
TUNNELBLICK 3.0 MAC
This was where there isn’t a lot of Mac specific info. Plus, OpenVPN is a much cooler thing to have running on your system anyways. Sometimes this is acceptable, like when using Skype, but sometimes, you’d just rather have the open software. That means you just really can’t be sure about what its doing or how its doing it. The main reason I shyed away from Hamachi, as many people do, is because it is closed source, and owned by a company. It seems easier to set up and can run on the major 3 OS platforms. One alternative to OpenVPN commonly cited is Hamachi. It is also fast and very powerful, once you get things set up. Its also OpenSource and free, which are two good reasons for using it. OpenVPN utilizes SSL, the same technology used to encrypt websites to make its connection secure. I wanted to use it so I could use VNC to connect to some of my home machines on my laptop at school. In this type of setup, you would be able to connect to file servers, mail servers, or printers remotely, without having to worry about someone on the Internet watching what you do and snagging private information. A common use for VPN is to let a user at home or on the road make an encrypted connection to his office’s network as if he/she were actually in the office. I eventually found some help, but it took awhile, so why not gather it all up here.Ī VPN or Virtual Private Network essentially connects a remote machine to a network, over the Internet, securely. Spurred by a unhelpful digg post on setting up an OpenVPN server on Windows, I decided to finally get OpenVPN working on my Mac, which is currently running as my web server / other servers.
