My VPN client 3.7.3 connection gets disconnected and while disconnected it attempts to resolve the host name to VPN server it was just connected. It is never able to resolve the connection and my host also can't resolve the connection until I disconnect Tunnelblick then the connection is resolvable and I can resolve and reconnect to the VPN host.

My tunnelblick client is set up to automatically reconnect if disconnected but this is not occurring.

Please follow the instructions at Read Before You Post to get the info needed to diagnose problems and then post that info.

After reading instructions before I post I noticed that you do not allow manually set DNS servers which I have set.

Can you tell me why tunnelblick doesn't allow manually set DNS servers on the client?

You can set DNS servers manually, but Tunnelblick will not, by default, change them even if the VPN wants them to be changed.

That may or may not be related to the problem you are having.

You can allow Tunnelblick to change them if/when the VPN wants them to be changed; it is a checkbox on the "Advanced" page. (Select the configuration(s) that you want a change to apply to in the "VPN Details" list before you make the change.)

Again, post the diagnostic info if you want help with a specific problem.

When I put in the credentials on my client and change manual DNS on my Mac OS client it does not automatically reconnect. If I perform the same test with a VPN server that doesn't require credentials Tunnblick does reconnect.

Third try: if you want help, post the diagnostic info, as described by Read Before You Post. (Don't just post a tiny portion of one small section of it.)
