Hi, I'm trying to set up a connection using Viscosity (have tried Tunnelblick as well) and get stuck after recieving my client IP.

I'm a complete IP-noob so basically I have no idea what I'm doing ANyway...

I have imported the config file to create a connection profile. My logfile looks like this (my ip is the right one I have replaced the last digits with XXX):

Sun Apr 5 09:32:20 2009: LZO compression initialized
Sun Apr 5 09:32:20 2009: gw 83.226.48.1

I have BBB as ISP and checked w them if they have any limitations in using their name server when tunneling, they say they dont have that.

I have checked the Viscosity forums and found something that I speculated could have some impact: As you are using a TAP interface you'll probably want to add a route-delay to your connection (otherwise OpenVPN might try and add the routes before the interface is ready). so I added a "route-delay 40" to my config (seems to make no difference using it or not)

Here are my settings in Viscosity (minus the real values ofc, i have double checked so i use the right numbers for my account)



SO, for some reason my connection halts after I get a Client IP, any ideas?

Hi,

I use Tunnelblick 3.0b10 (since I'm still running Tiger 10.4.11) - and I got mine working.

Let's start by checking your setup. Could you, open Terminal and type: cat ~/Library/openvpn/openvpn.conf ... and paste the contents.

and while you're at it, can you check that your key.txt is properly formated? Type: cat ~/Library/openvpn/key.txt and check that the begining of the line starts with:
"-----BEGIN OpenVPN Static key V1-----"
...
followed by a bunch of jibberish, and ends with
...
"-----END OpenVPN Static key V1-----"

... and nothing else.

(Also, don't paste the contents of the key.txt! as you don't normally give away the key's to your Ferrari to strangers, do you? ...)

dev tap
remote 88.80.30.2
float 88.80.30.2
port xxxx
comp-lzo
ifconfig 88.80.28.xx 255.255.255.0
route-gateway 88.80.28.1
redirect-gateway def1
secret key.txt
cipher AES-128-CBC

that's my .conf (xxxx instead of my specific port and xx.xx instead of my specific ip - both are the same i got from admins)

Yes, the key.txt is formatted ok:

-----BEGIN OpenVPN Static key V1-----
91df92b0e7c337e27d1e6a408cf17d2c
--snip--
5e578500f995c23a6fc5d7e5e73ddf5e
-----END OpenVPN Static key V1-----

So that seems ok. Ty for helping out.

Hey! I´m a total noob here and I´m sitting on OsX. Can someone plese post a complete guide from beginning to the end on how to install PRQ tunnels on OsX?!?

I don´t understand anything that has been posted in here!??! First I go to "system preferences"? Network? Right?!!?

Thank´s in advance!!!

Here is my Viscosity log: (I can connect through Viscosity now as well)

Got it to work now with Tunneblick as well as Viscosity.

I added 88.80.8.3 to my DNS and voila, it works.

I cant see any difference in me having "Set Nameserver" ticked or not in Tunnelblick. Works with both.

Ths for help
