Hello all!
On Cyberoam firewalls, it is possible to generate a configuration file for SSL VPN connections, which can be then imported into a VPN client (TunnelBlick, OpenVPN, or any other client).
On many softwares, the import process works great. But TunnelBlick rejects the configuration files because of the "status" option in the .openvpn file. So we have to manually edit the .openvpn file to remove the blocking option before trying to import it into TunnelBlick. It is quite annoying, especially for people who are "non-computer people" (which happens to be very common among Mac users).
My questions are:
- Why is the presence of this option a blocking step during the import process of a configuration file on TunnelBlick?
- Would it be possible to support this option on TunnelBlick, or at least ignore it if you don't want to support it?
I think that it would make more sense to search for supported parameters within a configuration file, instead of blocking the import process when unsupported parameters are found.
I'll be happy to provide you with more details if needed.
Thank you for your answer!
