I expect to have a new version of Tunnelblick available in the next few days. It includes a complete rewrite of the Tunnelblick app update mechanism and will need extensive testing before it is released, even as a beta. I'm looking for people to do such testing.
New features include:
Any user (standard or administrator) can update without administrator authorization. (Optional, requires a setting to be set one time by an administrator.)
If administrator authorization is required for an update, it is only required once, not twice.
Does not interrupt other Applications to announce the availability of an update; instead, a yellow "caution" badge is added to the Tunnelblick icon in the menu/status bar and a menu item is available to display update information and options.
Updates can be checked for only when a VPN is active (Optional.)
Updates can be downloaded in the background or only when they are to be installed.
