vpn config installation error #234

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
i followed directions via this post 
http://code.google.com/p/tunnelblick/issues/detail?id=141#c27 to set up 
tunnelblick

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. create .tblk file with .ovpn template provided by riseup and .pem file 
provided by riseup 
2. install Tunnelblick_3.3beta54
3. open tunnelblick
4. doubleclick .tblk file

What is the expected output?
config file excepted

What do you see instead?
tunnelblick thinks there is an extra character "}" in my .ovpn file that i 
don't think is there. this throws the formatting off and it can't link up with 
my .pem file

OSX 10.5.8

This is not a Tunnelblick problem.

The problem is that the configuration file has been saved as a "rich text" 
file, instead of a "plain text" file. The instructions that Riseup provides are 
not very good; they probably don't tell you to do this.

To fix this problem, open the "riseup.ovpn" file in TextEdit by double-clicking 
it. Then "Edit : Select All", "Edit : Copy", and close the window by clicking 
on the red dot in the top left corner. Open a new file with "File : Open", set 
it to be a plain text file with "Format : Make Plain Text", then paste the 
contents into it with "Edit : Paste".

Save the file as "riseup.ovpn", replacing the old file.

The "RiseupCA.pem" file is fine; it is already in plain-text format.

(If you also make a .tblk for the Riseup NYC server, you should just do "Format 
: Make Plain Text" before you paste the configuration contents into the new 
document.)

I have made changes (r2433) to Tunnelblick to detect rich text files and put a 
specific error message in the Console log when installing a .tblk and when 
converting an OpenVPN configuration to a .tblk.

Invalid invisible characters are also detected and described.
