The Tunnelblick website (https://tunnelblick.net) has been malfunctioning since 2017-01-11 at about 03:00 UTC. Some pages are currently available because of caching by Cloudflare, but that may not continue indefinitely.

Our GitHub-hosted mirror site at https://tunnelblick.github.io can be used for downloads and documentation until this problem has been resolved. The mirror is updated after each new Tunnelblick release or other major change, so it is reasonably up-to-date.

However, apparent public IP address checks and checks for updates will not work properly until tunnelblick.net is working properly again.

Please note that tunnelblick.net isn't necessary to connect your VPNs. Un-check "Check if the apparent public IP address changed after connecting" and Tunnelblick won't try to access tunnelblick.net except when checking for updates, which will just fail silently until the website is working again.

"Check if the apparent public IP address changed after connecting" can be found on the "Settings" tab of the "Configurations" panel of Tunnelblick's "VPN Details" window. Be sure to select all configurations that you want a change to apply to before making the change.

The problem appears to have been resolved by "pausing" Cloudflare.
