2.
3.

What is the expected output?

What do you see instead?
System Crash

What version of Tunnelblick are you using? On what version of OS X?

Please provide any additional information below. Please include your

the first few lines with version information), but remember to remove any

I've installed Lion on both an old Macbook Pro and a new iMac 27" (same latest 
beta Tunnelblick and identical configuration files)

On the 2009 Macbook Pro it worked. (I have VMWare installed)

On the iMac it kept disconnecting and reconnecting and then suddenly my mac 
crashed (log showed it crashed in program : ifconfig) (I also have VMWare but 
additionally Parallels)

Another +1 from me.  My repeated-refresh issue (that I *partially* fixed by 
regression the openvpn install) appears to be resolved now. Yay :) thank you.

I installed the new version today on a macbook pro and a macpro.  It worked 
okay on the macbook pro and I was able to connect.  

However, on the macpro it became unresponsive with a rotating, rainbow circle.  
The OS was initially responsive to command-tab but then finder became 
unresponsive.  I tried both versions of openvpn and they both exhibited the 
same problem. 

Tunnelblick said that the openvpn process was unresponsive.

Just prior to the rainbow circle, I tried pinging and ping got hung and would 
not quit when I typed a ctrl-c.

Right after successful connection, I tried pinging the addresses of the local 
and other end of the vpn and it failed to find the IP addresses.

What files do you want to see?

Thanks for your report.

Does using OpenVPN 2.1.4 make any difference on the MacPro? (You can select it 
on the 'Preferences' panel of the 'VPN Details…' window.)

Sorry; I missed your comment that you had tried both versions.

Is the macpro the same computer that you've had all the other problems 
described in private emails to me (e.g., hang on shutdown)?

Is the macpro using "connect when computer starts"? Does the problem happen 
even if you don't?

Yes, the macpro is the same computer I have had the other problems with.

Neither computer is using "connect when computer starts".

I forgot to mention that both computers hung at the gray screen with the 
rotating circle when being shut down even with the new version.  Upon doing a 
chkdsk /f on startup, one file an a bunch of directories were unlinked.

Tried new beta29 on MacPro/Quad-Core Xeon today and it seems to fix this crash 
issue (beta28 was not). No hangs or any other issues.
Waiting for a new 'public' beta with 'release' tap driver built.
Thank you!

I have uploaded Tunnelblick 3.2beta30 (build 2780), which contains the 
experimental tun/tap kexts. You can download it from the Downloads page, 
http://code.google.com/p/tunnelblick/wiki/DownloadsEntry?tm=2.

Note: It also contains the old kexts, which are used if the OS is not 10.7 
"Lion", and has additional localization.

I'd like everyone to try it, please, and report here ONLY IF THERE ARE PROBLEMS.

Thanks!

Initial tests are positive.  It connects, doesn't crash and doesn't cause 
grey-screen lockup when shutting down the computer; this is good.

I have noticed one issue.  I am unable to set a configuration to connect when 
the computer starts.  I have tried several times, rebooted, etc. and can't make 
it work.

I think we were asked very clearly to:

Well, he was reporting a problem -- it just wasn't the kernel panic.

He's correct; connect when the computer starts' is broken in beta30. I have 
committed a fix to the source code, and will supply him privately with a build 
so he can try it.

Please, reserve this Issue for the kernel panics. Report anything else on the 
Tunnelblick Discussion Group at
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/tunnelblick-discuss

Unfortunately, after two hours of an openvpn connection being active my macpro 
hung.  I decided to try disconnecting the openvpn connection to test whether I 
could disconnect and reconnect.  When I selected disconnect at the tunneblick 
icon, the icon darkened, I got a rainbow cursor, and the computer became 
completely locked.  The mouse moved but nothing else.  I even tried remotely 
pinging it, sshing to it, looking for it in finder browser and it was not 
responsive in any manner.

The openvpn server side crashed.  The client end happily continued to try to 
connect.

This is fixed in Tunnelblick 3.2beta30 and higher.

I have the very same issue. Tunnelblck connects, reconnects after about 20 
seconds and randomly I get a kernel error.

Tunnelblick 3.1.7 (build 2190.2413)
OpenVPN: 2.1.4
OSX: 10.7.2

Tunnelblick 3.1.7 does not work with 10.7; use 3.2beta32. See the Downloads 
page for details.

jsut upgraded to 3.2.3 build 2891.2932. the previous version was crashing my 
mac os x lion 10.7.2 like a hell. Crashes could happen each 30 minutes. 
Situations with 2-3 crashes per week were normal. server vpn software: openvpn.
