Hi,

I keep getting the same error message when trying to VPN: "Unrecognized option or missing parameter(s) in /Library/Application Support/Tunnelblick/Users/jordandesilva/Uptime.tblk/Contents/Resources/config.ovpn:2: ach (2.3.6)"

I have no idea how to resolve the "unrecognized option" or "missing parameters" isssue/s.  Any recommendations are appreciated.

This message means that line 2 of your OpenVPN configuration file contains an "ach" option. There is no such option in OpenVPN 2.3.6.

I assume this is a typo in the configuration file, but you didn't post the full diagnostic info, so it's hard to know what option should be there.

(If the "ach" is part of a comment, lines with comments must start with a "#" or ";" character at the beginning of the line.)
