I am VERY new to Tunnelblick and I just got hired on at a company that uses it and I am trying to find where or how I can copy configurations from one Mac Mini so I can add them to another one. 

I am a Windows guy so everything about this new job is new to me :) 

Any help on how to find where the configs are kept for Tunnelblick would be greatly appreciated

Thank you!

Thank you so much!!! That was very helpful! I have a user that is running Tunnelblick version 3.8.8a and they are having troubles connecting to our OpenVPN so I think my first step is going to get them updated to 4.0.1. Would the best way to upgrade them be saving their configs by exporting their current setup, installing the new version and then importing the saved setup?

No, that's much more complicated than necessary. They can upgrade by clicking the "Upgrade Now" button on the "Preferences" panel of Tunnelblick's "VPN Details" window.  They could download a new version of Tunnelblick and install it by double-clicking, but that's a lot more work. Their configurations and settings are left intact when re-installing on top of an old version..

Note that upgrading from such an old version can cause problems. If that happens, see Tunnelblick 4.
