Hi,

II was using 3.6.9 earlier, and tried to connect to a VPN but it failed with the following error:

Could not start OpenVPN (openvpnstart returned with status #226)


Contents of the openvpnstart log:

*Tunnelblick: openvpnstart log:

     Loading tap-signed.kext

     stderr from kextload: /Applications/Tunnelblick.app/Contents/Resources/tap-signed.kext failed to load - (libkern/kext) kext (kmod) start/stop routine failed; check the system/kernel logs for errors or try kextutil(8).

     Unable to load net.tunnelblick.tun and/or net.tunnelblick.tap kexts in 5 tries. Status = 71


I looked around here, and saw some people had similar problems with earlier versions of the software and sometimes upgrading to the beta release worked.  So I tried this and upgraded to 3.6.10 beta01but I still get the same error.


Any ideas?


Version: Tunnelblick 3.6.10beta01 (build 4700)

OS: macOS Sierra 10.12.1

Perfect,

Apologies I missed this page when googling/searching...

My problems where fixed by running:

sudo kextunload -b net.sf.tuntaposx.tap
sudo kextunload -b net.sf.tuntaposx.tun

Regards

John
