Beta 3.4beta24 and Little Snitch

[kolossboss]

Hi,

I dont know exactly whats going on.

On 3.4beta24 my IP Firewall Little Snitch, does not recognize a VPN connection as a NEW network. I'm using Little Snitch so prevent an IP leak, by switching profiles if recognized VPN Network. I went back to 3.4beta22 and it works without issues.
I'm using this for 2 years without any problems.

Mac OS X 10.9.2

Little Snitch

As a guess, it may have to do with the "utun" feature of OS X (since 10.6.8). OpenVPN 2.3.3, first included in Tunnelblick 3.4beta24, uses the built-into-OS-X "utun" device in preference to the third-party "tun".

The easiest way to test that is to switch your configurations to use OpenVPN 2.3.2, which does not use "utun". If the problem with Little Snitch disappears, that was it.

You can then continue to use OpenVPN 2.3.2, or you can modify your configuration to force OpenVPN to use "tun" instead of "utun". To do that, you can add a "dev-node tun0" option in your configuration file; OpenVPN will then only try to use "tun0". (At least, that's what it is supposed to do; I haven't tested it.)

And if the problem is the "utun", Little Snitch should be fixed.

Please let us know what happens.

Hi,

The problem with Little Snitch disappears, after switching back to 2.3.2.

Thx a lot.

I'm going to send a message to the developers of Little Snitch.
