Hi,

always used Tunnelblick without issues (except it crashing always) but since the update nothing works anymore. I can't connect and if I can, I can't access anything. Is there a workaround?

I'm by no means an export in this kind of stuff but I already tried unloading these non-Apple kexts, rebooted and then the VPN connected. However, I couldn't access anything and as soon as I disconnected, I couldn't connect again.

Thanks in advance.

Please see Tunnelblick and macOS High Sierra (10.13) about the kext loading problem.

I am concerned by your "(except it crashing always)" comment. Can you provide any details?

I did read this post but I'm struggling to understand what my options here are. As I said, I'm not a VPN expert and have no clue what tun, taps, dev-type tuns etc. are. All I know is that I have a working (at least pre-10.13) config which did work on clients such as Tunnelblick and/or Shimo. With the update, none of these work anymore. 

What exactly can I do to make the VPN work again?

Re "except it crashing always": I submitted quite a few screencasts on Tunnelblick crashing via mail. Never received a response, so..

It is a difficult situation. To summarize/clarify:

In some situations, High Sierra blocks Tunnelblick from loading a system extension. macOS will pop-up a window that looks like this:


Tunnelblick's kexts are signed by "Jonathan K. Bullard" (me), so that's what should appear in the blocked-by-red area of the window.

The user then has 30 minutes to grant permission for the new system extension to be loaded. As the window says, that permission can be granted on the "Security & Privacy" pane of "System Preferences". (The window doesn't say it, but permission can be granted only on the "General" tab of that pane.) Here is a screenshot of that pane:



(Again, the "System software developer" will be "Jonathan K. Bullard".)

If the user doesn't grant permission within 30 minutes (from what I understand), the permission cannot ever be granted.

In other words, that system extension is permanently barred form being loaded by macOS, and the user can never connect to the VPN. I think that this is the situation in which you find yourself.

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

I have no record of emails from your email address. Did you submit them to devel...@tunnelblick.net? If not, please try that. If so, please email me privately (to jkbullard at gmail dot com) with the email address that you sent them from, so I can look into it. Don't put your email address in a reply to this unless you want it publicly available.

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

Having explained it, I now have an idea that might work for you and others like you who did not grant permission within the 30 minute window: Try a different version of Tunnelblick. It will have a different system extension which macOS hasn't seen, so macOS will block it, pop up the window about blocking it. Grant permission within the 30 minute window, and all will be well.

Please reply back to this discussion if that works!

By "different version of Tunnelblick", I mean that if you have been using the stable version of Tunnelblick (currently 3.7.2a), try the beta version (currently 3.7.3beta03) and vice-versa.  (See Stable vs. Beta Releases.)

If you are currently using the stable release, you can just "update" to the beta release:
  1. Launch Tunnelblick
  2. Click on the Tunnelblick icon in the menu bar and click "VPN Details…". A new window will appear.
  3. Click on the large "Preferences" button at the top of the new window.
  4. Put a check in the "Check for updates to beta versions" checkbox.
  5. Click the "Check Now" button.
  6. You will be guided through the process of updating to the beta version.
If you are currently using the beta version, you must download the stable version and install it (by double-clicking, as usual). Installing the stable version over the beta (or vice versa) will preserve your configurations and preferences; the program is "smart enough" to recognize that it is doing an upgrade or downgrade. You can download stable and beta versions from the Tunnelblick Downloads page.

Hey Jonathan,

thank you for your detailed response. I understand the issue Tunnelblick is facing on High Sierra. Thing is, I granted the permission in the security panel, within a 5 second window.

I begin to think that there's not a problem with Tunnelblick but with the VPN config file I was provided. At work for example, I can't access the VPN. If I'm in my home wifi, it works however but TB tells me that the public IP hasn't been changed (I assume it should have). What could cause this weird behavior?

Your original post showed error messages that macOS was not loading the "kext". That doesn't seem to be what you are saying now.

There are two likely explanations:
  1. That you didn't grant permissions to Tunnelblick to load the "kext" -- but you now say you did, so that's not the problem, leaving

  2. You have a conflicting kext loaded. See Errors Loading Kexts (Device Drivers).

Hello,

I can't connect to the updated VPN my school network provided me. I did a complete uninstall and reinstall to no avail. I followed all the steps to do before posting (except step 8; I could not find that setting on the advanced menu). I tried all the suggestions posted. Please be more help than my district tech.

Rachel, the solution is easy.

The problem is shown in the log:

Options error: Unrecognized option or missing or extra parameter(s) in /Library/Application Support/Tunnelblick/Shared/Connection.tblk/Contents/Resources/config.ovpn:17: tls-remote (2.4.4)

The "tls-remote" option which appears in your OpenVPN configuration file the district gave you was removed from OpenVPN starting with version 2.4. It is obsolete.

Tunnelblick includes more than one version of OpenVPN so it can be compatible with old and new systems. Each version of OpenVPN comes in two "flavors", an OpenSSL flavor and a LibreSSL version. You probably want the OpenSSL flavor.

So you can just tell Tunnelblick to change from using OpenVPN version 2.4 to using OpenVPN version 2.3.

You do that on the "Settings" tab of the "Configurations" panel of Tunnelblick's "VPN Details" menu. Be sure to select the configuration(s) that you want the change to apply to before making the change. (You probably have only one configuration to change, so just select it before making the change.)

The versions of OpenVPN that Tunnelblick includes change from time to time as new versions become available. Tunnelblick 3.7.4b (which you are using) includes OpenVPN 2.3.18 - OpenSSL 1.0.2n, which should be fine for your needs.

Thank you for your swift response! I'm not surprised that they didn't give me the correct information and did not actually update the ovpn. I've been chasing answers since they took away the old connection in December. 

I followed your directions, and now it is stuck in a loop between "Making TCP Connection" and "Authorizing." I've included the log below. Thank you again for your help!

Hi Rachel,

Now the problem is shown here:

2018-01-28 17:30:23 VERIFY ERROR: depth=1, error=self signed certificate in certificate chain: /C=US/CN=SpringdaleCA/ST=AR/emailAddress=pmiller2@sdale.org/L=Springdale/OU=Technology/O=Springdale Public Schools
2018-01-28 17:30:23 OpenSSL: error:14090086:SSL routines:ssl3_get_server_certificate:certificate verify failed

This can be caused by a number of things, but the most common cause is an incorrect/invalid "certificate". So it is most likely that the "cacert.pem" file (that your district IT department supplied you?) is bad. Perhaps you are using the certificate from before they "took away the old connection in December" and you need a new certificate for the new connection.

(The "looping" is because after the failure, OpenVPN keeps trying again and again, not realizing that the error will never correct itself.)

Ask your IT department for a fresh cacert.pem file. Since they seem to be clueless, here are instructions for you to recreate your configuration with the new file:
  1. Launch Tunnelblick so its icon is in the menu bar. (Don't try to connect the VPN.)
  2. Download the attached .zip file and double-click it. It will to expand into a folder named "New Connection" that contains one file named config.ovpn (which is a copy of your existing OpenVPN configuration file).
  3. Copy the new "cacert.pem" file into the "New Connection" folder.
  4. Rename the folder by adding ".tblk" to the end of the name, so it is "New Connection.tblk" (You won't see the .tblk, but the icon for the folder will change.)
  5. Drag the folder onto the Tunnelblick icon in the menu bar to install it.
You should now have a second configuration named "New Connection". Try to connect it.
New Connection.zip

Thank you so much! figured out what happened. The zip file they gave me contained the old and new set of OVPN. I had been going by what was labeled for Mac, but I noticed after you said something that the dates modified were old. I used the certification files and OVPN from the other folder included in the zip file that were labeled for Windows (sans the client made for Windows) and successfully got it working. 

This means the world to me as I have to work remotely frequently and want to stay current with my students. I really appreciate it!

Dear Jonathan,

I clicked on granting permission pretty much right away, however it doesn't do anything. I don't think it took more than 30 mins, however what happens if it did take me more than 30 mins? How can I reset this ? 

regards
Barnabas

It isn't clear you can reset it after the 30 minutes – that's up to Apple. Be sure to look at Tunnelblick and macOS High Sierra (10.13).

so how can I get tunnelblick working on my Mac now? Do I have to wait for a new update?

As it says on Tunnelblick and macOS High Sierra (10.13), if you have the stable version of Tunnelblick, try the beta, and vice-versa.

But be sure that the problem is what you think it is: post the diagnostic info obtained by following the instructions at Read Before You Post.
