Client is Mac Big Sur 11.5.2 running Tunnelblick 3.8.6/5710.

Router is Netgear Nighthawk AX5 5-Stream AX4200 / RAX43. VPN Service is enabled. TUN setting is UDP on 12973 and TAP is UDP on 12974.

I have generated ‘non-windows’ ca.crt, client.crt, client.key and client2.conf files and configured Tunnelblick accordingly. I am using noIP for DNS and able to successfully ping host name. Logs are not telling me much. Any ideas please?

I suggest that you revert to Tunnelblick 3.8.5a, which should work without this problem. You can download it from our Deprecated Downloads page [1] and install it normally by double-clicking the Tunnelblick icon. It will replace the newer version but keep your configurations and settings intact.

If you have problems installing 3.8.5a, please look at Problems Installing Tunnelblick [2].

If you do have problems again, we would very much appreciate hearing from you.

Best regards,

Jon Bullard

Thank you, Jon. I appreciate your help. Unfortunately my issue persists.

I did an uninstall of the 3.8.6/5710 utilizing Utilities / Uninstall Tunnelblick.

I did a fresh install of 3.8.5a from Deprecated Downloads and applied previously generated ‘non-windows’ ca.crt, client.crt, client.key and client2.conf files accordingly.

I then tried to connect and failed as I'd forgotten to load system extensions. Error log:

I installed tun and tap extensions from Utilities tab which seemed to go fine with exception I did not receive prompt for 'system extension blocked'. I did restart the device anyway. But receiving same error as on Tunnelblick 3.8.6.

Thank you for the coaching - I missed step 12, thought 'logs' had everything. Other steps are validated. Here are logs verbosity = 3.

There's something wrong with either your system or your Tunnelblick installation.

My recommendation is to first restart your system in Safe Mode, then restart it normally and try again. The "runTunnelblickd: no data available from tunnelblickd socket; sleeping 5.000000 seconds..." messages are very unusual and should not be happening, even on a very heavily loaded system.

If that doesn't help, try completely uninstalling Tunnelblick (using the button on the "Utilities" panel of Tunnelblick's "VPN Details" window) and then install it again. That's a step that I almost never recommended because it it not known to have ever helped, but when all else fails… you might as well try it.

Thank you for continued assistance. I took the steps suggested above but the issue remains. I did system shutdown, restart safe mode, shutdown, restart and noted the same "runTunnelblickd: no data available from tunnelblickd socket; sleeping 5.000000 seconds..." in the error log. I then uninstalled Tunnelblick using the utilities panel.

I decided to attempt to isolate Tunnelblickd by creating a new user account and installing it there. Unfortunately I am still unable to connect and note the same error in the logs. Any other suggestions?
