Cannot drag and drop configuration settings.

I cannot drag and drop my configuration settings (.ovpn) into the configuration list. 

I also double click on the config settings in finder and nothing happens.

How can I get it to work?

If double-clicking doesn't work, you can drag/drop configurations onto the Tunnelblick icon in /Applications. In other words, open a Finder window showing /Applications, and drag/drop your configurations onto the Tunnelblick icon in that window.

Or you can Control-click the configuration and then select Open With… and select Tunnelblick. (By "Control-click" I mean hold down the Control key on the keyboard while you single-click the configuration. A context menu will appear with several choices.)

There are two things that I know of that cause double-clicking to not work:

1. If you have other applications that are registered with OS X to respond to .ovpn (or .conf or .tblk) double-clicks, OS X may send the other application a message instead of sending it to Tunnelblick. This is probably the problem you have.
   
   
2. There is a problem in OS X 10.11 (or maybe it showed up in 10.10, I don't remember) that causes double-clicks to sometimes not go to the most logical copy Tunnelblick. For example, when the Tunnelblick disk image is mounted (during a Tunnelblick installation, for example), sometimes OS X relaunches that Tunnelblick and sends it the double-click message, instead of sending it to the running Tunnelblick or the Tunnelblick in /Applications. There isn't anything that Tunnelblick can do to fix that OS X problem, except the most recent beta (3.6beta10) ejects the Tunnelblick disk image after installing Tunnelblick, so that the copy of Tunnelblick on the disk image won't be relaunched and sent the message. But if there are multiple copies of Tunnelblick available to OS X (if you copied it to the Desktop, for example), OS X may still find one and launch it and send it the double-click message, instead of sending it to the running Tunnelblick or the Tunnelblick in /Applications.

i'm having that same problem and none of those things worked

I have sent moximo... a link to a pre-release version of Tunnelblick which may solve the problem.

Hi all-

Following the update to the latest version of TB I am having a similar problem. I only have one copy of TB so double click should be sending it to the right place. I tried dropping the .tblk files into the right file location, but now get "An error (status 190) ocurred while trying to check the security of the <<filename>> configuration." Without the ability to drag&drop (on the Menu Bar or in //Applications) I'm not sure how to update/reinstall the config files.

Thoughts most welcome!

1. What version of OS X are you using?
   
2. What version of Tunnelblick are you using?
   
3. What happens when you double-click a .ovpn file?
   
4. What happens when you drop a .ovpn file onto the Tunnelblick icon in a Finder window showing /Applications?
   
5. What happens when you drag a .ovpn file over the Tunnelblick icon in the menu bar without releasing the mouse button? (The pointer should change to a green circle with a white plus sign ("+"), at least on OS X 10.11.6. After a couple of seconds hovering over the icon, the pointer should change back to an arrow.)
6. When do you get the "An error (status 190) occurred while trying to check the security of the <<filename>> configuration" message? When you lauch Tunnelblick or when you try to connect the configuration, or some other time?

Note re: "I tried dropping the .tblk files into the right file location". Don't do that -- let Tunnelblick manage its files. The process of installing a configuration is much more complex than just copying or moving a file.

And

7. What happens when you Control-click a .ovpn file and select "Open With..."?
