Remove the dialog box in MacOS "

[Gianluca Fadda]

Hi everyone,

By any chance is there one argument in Tunnelblick for MacOS that skip this passage every time one file is edit by Administrator?

Tried to find some arguments that may have been added in Ventura/Sequoia in  ~/Library/Preferences/net.tunnelblick.tunnelblick.plist but nothing that helps to skip it (even denying commands seem dont't work).

Seems that boolean arguments like onlyAdminsCanUnprotectConfigurationFiles don't work as well.

Thanks in advance for your help!

(We use the terms "preferences" or "settings" for what you call "arguments".)

That dialog cannot be skipped. If a configuration file has been modified since it was last used, we require a computer admin to confirm that the modified version should be used. That's done to prevent "escalation of privilege" attacks (because configuration files can contain references to scripts that will be run as root). If a file has been modified there is no way to know who modified it, or if it was modified by malware running as the logged-in user.
