Hello,
since a couple of days i cannot connect to the vpn.

The complete log is:

2013-06-24 12:30:42 *Tunnelblick: OS X 10.8.2; Tunnelblick 3.3beta54 (build 3415)
2013-06-24 12:30:42 *Tunnelblick: Attempting connection with consul; Set nameserver = 1; monitoring connection
2013-06-24 12:30:42 *Tunnelblick: openvpnstart start consul.tblk 1337 1 0 3 0 305 -atADGNWradsgnw
2013-06-24 12:30:42 *Tunnelblick:

Could not start OpenVPN (openvpnstart returned with status #254)

Contents of the openvpnstart log:
*Tunnelblick: openvpnstart log:
     /Library/Application Support is writable by other (permissions = 0777)
     pathIsNotSecure: pathComponentIsNotSecure(/Library/Application Support, 00)
     /Library/Application Support/Tunnelblick/Shared/consul.tblk is not secured

I think the troubles came after I have installed xQuartz to connect to my remote ubuntu desktop...
I have tried to uninstall everything but it still doesnt work.
It happen with each configuration files.

Any suggestion?

Thank you very much

You need to use the OS X "Disk Utility" application and do a "Repair Permissions" on your boot drive.

That should repair the owner of the "/Library/Application Support" folder.

It looks like the "xQuartz" installation process changed permissions that it should not have.
