== Mac VPN Client - Tunnelblick ==
Tunnelblick is an open source client for the mac.
It currently has some issues with Leopard, however, it works well with Tiger. For Leopard, version 3.0b9 seems to work best, although periodic disconnections happen, which is quite annoying.
Visit the [http://www.tunnelblick.net/ Tunnelblick] download page.
* Download and install [http://tunnelblick.googlecode.com/files/Tunnelblick_3.0b9.dmg Tunnelblick 3.0(B9)] for Mac OS X.
* There are some .ctr/.key files needed (make sure you follow the links to these in dis wiki properly):
** [[:Image:AmahiHDAClient.crt|AmahiHDAClient.crt]]
** [[:Image:AmahiHDAClient.key|AmahiHDAClient.key]]
** [[:Image:ca-cert.crt|ca-cert.crt]]
* Download the .ctr/.key files and save them in the /Users/'''username'''/Library/openvpn folder, where '''username''' is the home directory of the current user.
* Go to the configuration for Tunnelblick and edit the config file.
* Click on the Tunnelblick icon in the upper right corner of the display, then click '''''Details...'''''<br />[[Image:tunnelblick-pulldown.png]]
* "OpenVPN Log Output" window should appear, click on '''''Edit Configuration'''''. Make sure the ''Set Nameserver (Experimental)'' option is ''checked.''<br />[[Image:tunnelblick-editconfig.png]]
* Delete the default sample configuration<br />[[Image:openvpn_conf1.png]]
* Copy and paste the configuration below into the OpenVPN.conf file, replacing XYZ for your HDA's nickname:

* Don't forget to click on the DNS option.

* It is possible to use keyrings. Will link here the details when available.
Note:
* The procedure above has been tested with an Intel-based Mac.
