cannot allocate tun/tap dev? #80

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. download tunnelblick
2. put the files where they are supposed to e with the right names
3.  attempt to connect

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
it doesn't connect.
it scrolls through a lot of text, the attempts to load the drivers, then use 
them, then:
Just says "Cannot allocate TUN/TAP dev dynamically"

What version of Tunnelblick are you using? On what version of OS X? PPC or 
Intel?
3.0 b10 intel

the tun driver and everything else that tunnelblick needs is inside the .app 
folder apparrently, so 
I 
downloaded an older version, no dice.
deleted the pref, nada.
cleard the Console and tried again and got this:
kextload: extension 
/Users/(me)/Applications/Tunnelblick.app/Contents/Resources/tap.kext is 
already 
loaded
kextload: extension 
/Users/(me)/Applications/Tunnelblick.app/Contents/Resources/tun.kext is 
already 
loaded
Apr 18 20:28:54 WhiteiMac openvpn[7124]: Cannot allocate TUN/TAP dev dynamically
rebooting gives me this:
kextload: /Users/(me)/Applications/Tunnelblick.app/Contents/Resources/tap.kext 
loaded 
successfully
kextload: /Users/(me)/Applications/Tunnelblick.app/Contents/Resources/tun.kext 
loaded 
successfully

so it is able to load the kexts fine, but then... ?

Some ideas:

Take a look at Issue 41. It has several ideas to try. In particular, look at 
comment 20 at
http://code.google.com/p/tunnelblick/issues/detail?id=41&can=1&q=allocate#c20

Restarting is also worth a try since it is so easy.

The "kextstat" Terminal command should list all loaded kexts. If there are any 
tun or tap kexts loaded (try this after a restart, before using Tunnelblick), 
they will conflict. Recent versions of Tunnelblick attempt to detect this and 
warn you, but maybe that's not working.

If you are using Cisco AnyConnect, take a look at the user-contributed script 
to deal with that, at

I got the same problem. I'm on OS/X 10.6.5 and wonder if it's not a kext 
problem.

I don't have "Cannot allocate TUN/TAP dev dynamically" when using openvpn2 from 
MacPorts and tun/tap kext from http://sourceforge.net/projects/tuntaposx/

Please post the contents of the configuration file you are using, and the 
complete log from Tunnelblick. (X out any sensitive info.)

Also, are you using the 32-bit kernel or the 64-bit kernel in 10.6.5.
