Tunnelblick 4.0.0beta15 (build 5950) installed yesterday
Once VPN connected successfully , wifi is switching off :( look at the pictures given below, wifi icon
When returned to version 4.0.0beta 13, everything is working absolutely fine

Beta14 not tested

There is no possibility to even switch on wifi when connected thru VPN…..


Moreover, when I use OpenVPN Connect also everything works fine…..


Once tunnelblick is off, wifi is back correctly




MacOS Sonoma installed

Please post the diagnostic info obtained by following the instructions at Read Before You Post for both 4.0.0beta13 and 4.0.0beta15. (If you can, it would help if you also posted the info from 4.0.0beta14, too.)

Thanks. Please post the diagnostic info obtained by following the instructions at Read Before You Post for both 4.0.0beta13 and 4.0.0beta15. (If you can, it would help if you also posted the info from 4.0.0beta14, too.)

Hello, as mentioned earlier, I do not suffer any problems with tunnelblick app, which works fine. Nevertheless beta 15 simply drops wifi: once app is connecting (successfully) then (literally at this moment) wifi is automatically switching off. Once connecting (tunnel) is off, wifi is immediately returning on.
When I revert back to beta 13, everything is working fine i.e. even if tunnel is active, wifi remains connected. Upgrading to beta 15 again, problem with dropping wifi returns back. There is clearly a bug in the beta 15 version, so I sent a report from the MacOS console, which appears every time I try to connect via tunnelblick Beta 15. If I install Beta 13, these reports do not appear in the MacOS console, if I install the Beta 15 version, the report is created every time I get a connection (tunnel)

Although you say you "do not suffer any problems with tunnelblick app, which works fine", obviously there is are two problems:
  • It turns off Wi-Fi when you connect; and
  • Tunnelblick 4.0.0beta15 crashes when you connect.
The problems could be caused by any number of things (macOS problems, Tunnelblick problems, configuration problems, etc.), and the diagnostic info will help us diagnose, and hopefully fix, them. 

So, for the third time, please post the diagnostic info obtained by following the instructions at Read Before You Post for both 4.0.0beta13 and 4.0.0beta15. (If you can, it would help if you also posted the info from 4.0.0beta14, too.)

Thanks, the diagnostic info helps a lot, which is why we ask for it!

For the original problem ("wifi is switching off"), the problem appears to be the setting "Disable secondary network interfaces". You have several network services (interfaces); the primary service appears to be "ASCS-Consulting_line" (perhaps a renamed Ethernet interface?). Because of the setting, when Tunnelblick connects to the VPN, it disables the other network services, "Wi-Fi" and "Thunderbolt Bridge". When the VPN is disconnected, the services are re-enabled. So if you want to leave Wi-Fi enabled, un-check the box.

The other problem (the crash in Tunnelblick's "process-network-changes" component) is a bug in Tunnelblick 4.0.0beta15. Tunnelblick tries to implement the "Monitor network settings" checkbox in a situation that it doesn't handle properly. You should be able to avoid the crash by un-checking the "Monitor network settings" checkbox. (If it doesn't, please post new diagnostic info from connecting with the checkbox un-checked.)

Third (minor) problem: you also have a check mark in "Check if the apparent public IP address changed after connecting". In your setup, that should not be checked. Most people who use a VPN send all traffic from their computer through the VPN to the Internet. However, your setup only sends traffic destined for the VPN network through the VPN. All other traffic goes directly to the Internet without going through the VPN. That's fine, but in that case you should not check the box because it is expected that your computer's apparent public IP address will not change (because traffic to websites other than those in your VPN will not go through the VPN, so they will be from your computer's normal/regular/usual apparent public IP address).

II.

When the VPN is disconnected, the services are re-enabled. So if you want to leave Wi-Fi enabled, un-check the box. exactly correct ! when this option is unchecked Beta 15 does not drop wifi. But please note this option was not changed in comparison to Beta 13 and earlier versions i.e. it was always checked before.....

III.
The other problem (the crash in Tunnelblick's "process-network-changes" component) is a bug in Tunnelblick 4.0.0beta15.

(If it doesn't, please post new diagnostic info from connecting with the checkbox un-checked.) Not correct. Even if unchecked, but above option checked (II nd paragraph), wifi is dropping

Correct, normally is unchecked, but according to your instruction, please follow point 7: https://tunnelblick.net/cBeforeYouPost.html, stating this option had to be checked. So I checked it for the purpose of gathering diagnostic data only (already unchecked)

Thank you for your stunning help and incredible skills !

Yes, it was checked before, but it was always ignored before for setups like yours, where no OpenVPN "dhcp-option" is specified. That's why the release notes for beta 15 include:
  • Allows disabling IPv6 and/or secondary network services even if no dhcp-option is specified.
Most people want secondary network services disabled, so that is the default. We enabled this feature in beta 15. Since the new feature affects you but you don't want it, you need to un-check the box to override the default.

Tunnelblick tries to implement the "Monitor network settings" checkbox in a situation that it doesn't handle properly.

Wi-Fi dropping has nothing to do with "Monitor network settings". Un-checking "Monitor network settings" should avoid the crash in process-network-changes, but that's all. It will not affect dropping Wi-Fi, which is affected only by "Disable secondary network interfaces".

============

I was trying to describe how to fix or work around two problems you were having. They are separate problems with separate fixes.
  • Can you confirm that un-checking "Monitor network settings" prevents Wi-Fi from being disabled?
  • Can you confirm that un-checking "Monitor network settings" avoids the crash in process-network-changes?

"Monitor network settings" - does not matter if it is checked or not -> always drops wifi if ",Disable secondary network interfaces" is on (checked), so this option has no influence. This is the first option in "settings"
Key-option is 4th "Disable secondary network interfaces" -> when checked wifi is dropping, when unchecked Beta 15 is going fine . Please note, according to the hint showing with this option, tunnelblick is recommending this option ON.....

I apologize, I made a copy/paste error in my earlier reply. The two questions should have been:
  • Can you confirm that un-checking "Disable secondary network interfaces" prevents Wi-Fi from being disabled?
  • Can you confirm that un-checking "Monitor network settings" avoids the crash in process-network-changes?
    You've apparently answered the first question YES – ("Disable secondary network interfaces" -> when checked wifi is dropping, when unchecked Beta 15 is going fine").

    But you have not answered the second question:
    • Can you confirm that un-checking "Monitor network settings" avoids the crash in process-network-changes?

    Please note, according to the hint showing with this option, tunnelblick is recommending this option ON.....

    Correct. Both options are on by default (and "Disable secondary network interfaces" is "recommended" in its hint), because they are appropriate for most Tunnelblick setups. Your setup is unusual, so it needs unusual settings.

    I know, and have written several times, that "Monitor network settings" does not affect dropping Wi-Fi. That's not what I'm asking.

    Can you confirm that un-checking "Monitor network settings" avoids the crash in process-network-changes? no (details described in 1st sentence od previous mail)

    You are saying that the process-network-changes crashes still happen even when "Monitor network settings" is not checked.

    I don't see how that is possible, and would for the diagnostic info with that setting using beta 15. (And with "Disable secondary network interfaces" also not checked, since that will, as you desire, prevent Wi-Fi from being disabled.) The crash info would also be helpful.

    Sorry, another typo : (

    It should have been:
