Repeated disconnection/reconnection attempts on Mountain Lion

On OS X 10.8.1 or 10.8.2 ("Mountain Lion") some configurations that use "Set 
nameserver" causes Tunnelblick to continuously disconnect and reconnect the 
configuration.

The disconnect/reconnect will appear in the log as something similar to:

2012-03-26 22:17:33 *Tunnelblick process-network-changes: SearchDomains changed 
from
                    *                    
                    *                     to
                    *                    <array> {
                    *                    0 : openvpn
                    *                    }
                    *                    pre-VPN was
                    *                    

To work around this problem while still using "Set nameserver", you can do the 
following:

Click the "Advanced" button on the "Settings" tab for the configuration, then 
select the "While Connected" tab. Change the setting for "Search domain" in the 
right-hand column (the "When changes to anything else" column) from "Restart 
connection" to "Ignore". That will ignore the changes to "Search domain".

Anyone with a similar problem on Mountain Lion but not involving 
"SearchDomains", please post the extract from the log that is similar to the 
above extract, including the name of the item that changed.

I can also confirm that it is working after I chose and applied "Set Nameserver 
(3.0b10)" via the VPN details menu.

trhudson -- Mountain Lion requires the latest beta from the Downloads page at 
http://code.google.com/p/tunnelblick/wiki/DownloadsEntry?tm=2

I believe that just-released Tunnelblick 3.3beta16 will fix the DNS problems 
and allow most users to use the default 'Set nameserver' setting for DNS/WINS.

It is available from the Downloads page at 
https://code.google.com/p/tunnelblick/wiki/DownloadsEntry?tm=2

How come when I do 'check for update' it says no update available?

Original comment by a...@arista.com on 27 Jul 2012 at 3:10

I can confirm that the new beta version does indeed work with just 'set 
namespace' option.

Original comment by a...@arista.com on 27 Jul 2012 at 3:14

Because the update has not been released yet. Typically new versions are 
released as updates when they have been tested more thoroughly.

And you won't be able to update via the update process from 3.3beta10, 12, or 
14 due to a bug. You'll have to download from the Downloads page. (You'll get a 
notice to that effect.)

I was actually able to solve the connection and disconnection problems by 
changing the server to the suggested 3.0b10 and am still using the latest 
stable build of Tunnelblick, not the new beta version. I am not a computer 
person by training, just a humble physician who uses the VPN to interpret 
ultrasounds remotely. Thanks for your help on this.

Using Tunnelblick 3.2.6 (build 2891.3007)  -  OpenVPN 2.2.1 on OS X 10.8 and 
setting the nameserver settings to 3.0b10 and restarting Tunnelblick also did 
the trick for me (no need to update to the beta)

arki727: You should be using the latest beta version of Tunnelblick if you are 
using Mountain Lion.

 Please read Mountain Lion Issues at http://code.google.com/p/tunnelblick/wiki/cMountainLionDnsIssue.

Original comment by jkbull...@gmail.com on 29 Jul 2012 at 12:09

after updating to Mountin Lion 10.8 and updating to Tunnelblick 3.2.8 (build 
2891.3099)  -  OpenVPN 2.2.1, I face the same issue again, getting 
connected/discounted repeatedly. 

Tried changing setting>advanced>while connected>search domain: from "Restart 
connection" to "Ignore"
Tried set DNS/WINS from "Set Nameserver" to "Set Nameserver (3.1)

Still getting connected/discounted repeatedly!

Any resolution or workaround?

3.2.8 is NOT recommended for Mountain Lion. 

Please read Mountain Lion Issues 
(http://code.google.com/p/tunnelblick/wiki/cMountainLionDnsIssue).

I can also confirm that it is working after I chose and applied "Set Nameserver 
(3.0b10)" via the VPN details menu.

Original comment by eray...@gmail.com on 6 Sep 2012 at 9:25

I can also confirm that changing the settings to nameserver 3.0b10 resolves the 
issue. Tunnelblick doesn't need to be updated to beta. Thank you everyone for 
your effort.

Several people have written that using the 3.0b10 setting "resolves the issue".

It may resolve the issue of repeated connection/disconnection, but not everyone 
can use it. The 3.0b10 setting doesn't do as much as the standard "Set 
nameserver" setting. For example, it doesn't react properly  to many network 
changes.

And using the 3.0b10 setting may merely hide a real problem with a 
network/OpenVPN/Tunnelblick setup.

Most people would be better off (on Mountain Lion) using the beta and the 
standard "Set nameserver" setting and finding and fixing any problems that 
result.

I have a similar issue, and altering the DNS settings does not help. I am 
pasting my log below, can anyone offer any clues as to what might be happening?

@philippe - Please try Tunnelblick 3.3beta24.

Tunnelblick 3.2.8 is not recommended for OS X 10.8 ("Mountain Lion").

janux.gdl - Tunnelblick 3.2.8 on OS X 10.8 works for some configurations, but 
not for most. That's why it is recommended for OS X 8.

Original comment by jkbull...@gmail.com on 14 Oct 2012 at 5:04

Oops! Make that "That's why 3.2.8 is NOT recommended for OS 10.8. Use the 
latest beta version of Tunnelblick instead.

Changed state: Fixed

Just a footnote - with beta32 on ML I was having the weird DNS issues many 
others described in this thread.  I solved it by manually configuring my 
ethernet address and my DNS servers (I used just the Google ones at 8.8.4.4 and 
8.8.8.8).  Before doing this, I was using DHCP and my router was giving me one 
of my ISP's DNS servers in addition to the Google ones.  Apparently the 
presence of that entry was enough to paralyze all DNS lookups.  

Bizarre, even if the ISP's server was no longer reachable after the tunnel came 
up, the system resolver should have kept working with the other two servers.  
Anyway, seems to be working OK now, YMMV.

I've had the same issue. After update to 3.3beta21b (build 3114.3185) the issue

The problem is as soon as Tunnelblick connects to iVPN it disconnects and 
Tunnelblick hangs, I have to kill process then start it. It worked once but not 
after that.

Hi! I unchecked flushing the DNS cache and it stopped my constant disconnect 
reconnect cycle which happened right after I installed and set it up. I hope 
that helps.

Original comment by Mouseym...@gmail.com on 18 Apr 2013 at 11:03

Mouseymice -- What version of Tunnelblick and what version of OS X were you 
using?

Flushing the DNS cache should not cause repeated connection/disconnection. In 
some versions of Tunnelblick on Mountain Lion if you also have "Hands Off" 
running, peculiar things happen, which could conceivably cause this, but if 
that's not your situation, it would be interesting to find out exactly what was 
happening.

Original comment by jkbull...@gmail.com on 19 Apr 2013 at 1:12

I can only avoid the connect  /disconnect cycle if in the right column of the 
advanced tab on search domain I choose ignore. Im on mountain lion. What are 
the implication of maintaining this setup?

Original comment by maeis...@gmail.com on 5 Jun 2013 at 11:21

I'm having or had a problem where Tunnelblick manages to connect but loses 
connection a few seconds after that because of some kind of "Cannot resolve 
host address" problem.

Changing the configuration option "Set DNS/WINS" to "Set nameserver (3.1)" 
seems to have fixed this issue, but I have no idea what are the implications of 
using this setting.

greggsanchez27 - This is not the place for such a question, this is for issues 
with Tunnelblick, not issues with your setup.

Please use the Tunnelblick Discussion Group at 
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/tunnelblick-discuss.

And please read the READ BEFORE YOU POST article there.

Offhand, there are apparently several problems. Among them:

WARNING: you are using user/group/chroot/setcon without persist-tun -- this may 
cause restarts to fail.
-- That explains itself.

Inactivity timeout (--ping-restart), restarting
-- This is why it is restarting. It can't ping the server.

Fix those. If it still doesn't work, post on the Discussion Group. I won't 
provide any more help for this here.

Same issue. 10.9 with latest beta, drops connections all the time. Id say out 
of a given 5 min span, 2mins are unable to ping the gateway or other hosts.

Discovered that having multiple vpn connections with the same key causes the 
same connect/disconnect repeat behavior

Original comment by todd.we...@clearcapital.com on 12 Feb 2014 at 6:15

Multiple instances/connections of VPN on different machines with same keys will 
make connections disconnect and connect frequently. The first connection made 
to vpn using any vpn client will work, if next connection is made via 
tunnleblick, this issue will occur.

@prakhyat.mm -

There are **many** reasons why a connection will connect and disconnect 
frequently. This Issue is marked "Fixed" and is inactive.

Please use the Tunnelblick Discussion Group at 
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/tunnelblick-discuss.

If you do so, please follow the instructions at 
https://code.google.com/p/tunnelblick/wiki/cBeforeYouPost to get the info 
needed to diagnose problems.

And please be more specific. For example, are you talking about multiple 
clients connecting to a server with the same credentials and the clients 
disconnect/connect repeatedly? Does it work the way you expect (no disconnect) 
if the "next connection" is made via a client other than Tunnelblick? Are the 
configurations for all clients identical?

I will not respond further here; please post to the Discussion Group.
