Cannot allocate TUN/TAP dev dynamically

[Kynx]

Hi,

Hope I'm not being stupid. I'm trying to connect to OpenVPN running on
CentOS 5 from Leopard w/Tunnelblick 3.0b9 and getting the error
message in the subject.

I'm trying to get a typical road warrior setup going on the server,
with some OSX clients. My client config is:

client
dev tun
proto udp
remote my.server.com 1194
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca ca.crt
cert client.crt
key client.key
comp-lzo
verb 6

Log leading up to the problem (pls let me know if more would help):

I've connected to the server via the Windows GUI, so I'm guessing (?!)
it isn't the problem. I've seen mention of not having a tun device
(Tunnelblick is supposed to install one?) - and certainly can't see
one in ifconfig. Is that the problem?

Thanks for any help you can give,

[Kynx]

Ah ha. Appears that Tunnelblick doesn't include the tun/tap driver.
Downloaded the binary package from http://www-user.rhrk.uni-kl.de/~nissler/tuntap/,
ran the installer and now I'm in business.

Would be nice if there was some kind of note about this somewhere.
(Not complaining, mind - thanks for the package!)

LOL, just realized that :)

Just so it may help others, on Mountain Lion I had to update to 3.3b21 to have the tap device working.

If you are having a problem with Tunnelblick, please include the following with your question.

• the entire contents of the Tunnelblick log; and
  
• the contents of your configuration file

Be sure to X out any sensitive information such as server IP addresses.

To get the Tunnelblick log on the Clipboard so you can paste it into an email:

1. Click the Tunnelblick icon
   
2. Click "VPN Details…"
   
3. Select the "Configurations" panel if it is not already selected
   
4. Select the configuration whose file you want to look at in the list on the left
   
5. Select the "Log" tab if it is not already selected
   
6. Click "Copy Log to Clipboard"

To put the contents of your configuration file on the Clipboard so you can paste it into an email, open it in TextEdit as follows:

1. Click the Tunnelblick icon
   
2. Click "VPN Details…"
   
3. Select the "Configurations" panel if it is not already selected
   
4. Select the configuration whose file you want to look at in the list on the left
   
5. Click the little "gear" icon at the bottom of the list on the left
   
6. Select "Edit OpenVPN Configuration File…" (or possibly "Examine OpenVPN Configuration File…").

In TextEdit you can Edit : Select All and then Edit : Copy to get the contents of the configuration file put into the clipboard.
