Re: Options error: You must define TUN/TAP device (--dev)

Try using a Tunnelblick VPN Configuration. See Creating and Installing a Tunnelblick VPN Configuration.

Hi Just installed the latest beta on a Macbook with Mountain Lion 10.8.2.

I tried the same configuration on my laptop and works excellent, but in this particular laptop with the same OSX version, etc, it sends me an error when trying to connect to the server.

I have the certificate in the same folder and it doesn't work.

This is the error that I get:

Here is my config file:

client

dev tun

resolv-retry infinite

nobind

persist-key

persist-tun

mute 20

verb 5

proto tcp

remote "190.5.245.226" 1194

pkcs12 "estivaneli-osxclients.p12"

comp-lzo no

route-delay 2

reneg-sec 0

cipher AES-128-CBC

On one machine it works, the other one it doesn't. Same configuration, same certificate, nothing changed.

What could be happening? They don't have any other VPN software installed.

Please let me know since I am running out of options to solve this issue..

Thanks a lot in advance, I am using version Tunnelblick 3.3beta21b (build 3114.3185).

Tunnelblick and/or OpenVPN may not like the quotation marks in

pkcs12 "estivaneli-osxclients.p12"

so you might want to try

pkcs12 estivaneli-osxclients.p12

Also, you might try changing the OpenVPN version that Tunnelblick uses from 2.3alpha1 to 2.2.1. (On Tunnelblick's Preferences tab.)

Hi Jonathan,

Tries both options as you mentioned and still nothing. One MacBook with same version works, the other one doesn't. Same configuration file and certificate.

Very strange.

Tried reinstalling and nothing.

After removing the quotation marks, Tunnelblick 3.3beta32 should be able to automatically convert your files to a Tunnelblick VPN Configuration. (The conversion will fail if there are quotation marks in the "pkcs12" line -- this is a bug in Tunnelblick that I will fix soon.)

If that fails, then (as the error message will suggest), look in The Console Log for an entry "Tunnelblick: Installation or repair failed; log:" entry which should give a more specific error message than OpenVPN does, and if you can't figure out the problem from that entry, post it.

It looks OK to me. You might want to try OpenVPN 2.2.1 (in the VPN Details… window, it's on the Preferences tab) just because it is easy.

Otherwise, if nobody here can help, you might want to try the OpenVPN Users Forum or the OpenVPN Users Mailing List. Provide them with (A) The part of the Tunnelblick log that shows the arguments to OpenVPN, (B) the configuration file, and (C) the Console error message.

Jonathan does tunnelblick requires maybe another software installed so it works?

Maybe Osx libraries etc.

[Jonathan K. Bullard]

No. Everything is included.

[Teofilo Homsany]

Strange that both laptops with same Osx version one works and the other one doesn't.

Thanks!
