See screenshot above for what Tunnelblick looks like after these configuration files are installed. These configuration files include the primary and secondary addresses off all the locations and will attempt to connect on ports 1194, 443, in that order. Installation instructions are provided there as well. You may download and submit bugs/features against these configuration files at my github page. These configuration files utilize several security options documented by OpenVPN and do not utilize any up/down scripts supplied by proXPN. By evaluating the OpenVPN documentation and the logs produced by OpenVPN packaged with Tunnelblick I decided to make a few modifications to the OpenVPN configuration files and to develop a set of configuration files so that I could utilize the various ports, servers and locations offered by the proXPN service. I wanted to keep all, or at least most, of the options/features offered by the proXPN client but using the standard non-branded Tunnelblick. After doing a few basic tests I confirmed that I could use proXPN’s service on my Macintosh running OS X 10.9.5 and Tunnelblick. I then installed the standard Tunnelblick and attempted to configure it using Mark Lai’s instructions for using proXPN with Tunnelblick. When I realized that the proXPN OpenVPN client software was simply a rebranded version of the popular OS X OpenVPN client Tunnelblick I used the Tunnelblick instructions for removing rebranded versions of Tunnelblick. I had trouble connecting to the proXPN servers using the provided client software on Macintosh OS X 10.9.5 (other versions of OS or client were not tested) so I created a set of configuration files so that I could use an unbranded version of Tunnelblick. By the way, if you have not been listening to the Security Now podcast or if you have never heard of it I encourage you to check it out. Select proXPN server with these configuration files.Īfter hearing proXPN marketed by Steve and Leo on the TWIT “Security Now” (SN) podcast for several months I decided to sign up for the service and take advantage of the SN promotional 50-percent off discount.
