Installing OpenVPn on MAC 10.6

Archangelmscj

I have installed OpenVPN on my mac running 10.6.8. The version of openvpn I am running is 1.7.2. My problem is that I cannot configure the program. The only thing I can do is go to a website called shield exchange. Any ideas on how to configure? Also I have tunnelblick but my company wants to move to openvpn.

Tunnelblick is a free, open source Graphic User Interface (GUI) for OpenVPN on Mac OS X. It provides easy control of OpenVPN client and/or server connections.

So why are you moving away from tunnelblick? It's just a gui for openvpn..

Maybe the company is misinformed?

I agree with you. But our so called tier 3 said that tunnelblick is flakey. So here I am trying to find out how to configure OpenVPN for the MAC. I am going to shoot for staying with tunnelblick.

First, you need to download the OpenVPN client Tunnelblick from Google Code
The file you want is called Tunnelblick_3.2.1.dmg
Double-click on the downloaded file.
Install Tunnelblick by double-clicking on the Tunnelblick icon.
Start Tunnelblick once and then quit it. (This will create the folders in which you extract the configs.)
Now download blackvpn_osx.zip (md5) and unzip the file.
Copy the contents into your ~/Library/Application Support/Tunnelblick/Configurations.
Start Tunnelblick (in your Applications folder) by double-clicking on it.
Authorize Tunnelblick with your Mac OS X username and password and click OK to continue.

hi there,
where to download blackvpn_osx.zip (md5)?
On https://www.blackvpn.com/setup/macos/ you just download blackVPN-sTunnel.
Thanks
