Permissions on that folder because it should be the only thing creating itДЄnd it is created by Tunnelblick's 'installer' program with the proper I assume it's not a permissions problem вЂ“ Tunnelblick doesn't try to repair Modify configurations, or make other changes that require Tunnelblick toДЄsk for a computer admin's username/password.

That happens when you originally install Tunnelblick, when you install or

That folder (/var/log/Tunnelblick) should be created (if it doesn't exist)Д®ach time Tunnelblick runs its 'installer'. System files directly because of possible race conditions andД¬onflicts with other programs that my make modifications to them. Pfctl? It looks to me like I have to define an anchor in pf.conf (withДirectives like you describe) before manipulating it with pfctl, but One basic question: Must I modify pf.conf, or can I do everything via Server you want it to be active at boot and never deactivate, but on aД¬lient you want to be able to activate and deactivate it dynamically. It's probably obvious, but what I'm looking to do is for an OpenVPNД¬lient, not a server, although I do understand that the pf mechanism If you haven't gotten my response, here it is:

I've already received this info two times (and responded once) in private emails that you sent, so there is definitely a problem somewhere. Now that I'm thinking about it, maybe Tunnelblick should have an option in it Info on using scripts is available at Using Scripts. The catch there is that that script isn't given any info about the device (or anything else!), so it would have to hard-code the 'utun0' or 'utun1' or whatever. At some point you may have told Tunnelblick to not use openvpn-down-root otherwise it would ask you each time you try to connect a configuration with 'user nobody / group nobody'.Д«ut I am not completely sure that it is OK for the down script to delete the device - it would not be OK if OpenVPN does anything else with the device, I don't think it does but I don't really know.ДЄs an alternative, you could use a custom 'post-disconnect.sh' script that deletes the utun device.

If you use the 'openvpn-down-root' plugin (which will be used by Tunnelblick automatically if you agree to that), then the down script runs as root.

I don't know about obtaining the routing information, though - or rather the 'unrouting' information. I think the arguments to the down script include the device name that the connection used (such as 'utun0'), which would make it easy to delete that device. See the OpenVPN documentation for info on environment variables that the down script can use and the arguments it is invoked with.

Take Tunnelblick's standard down script (/Applications/Tunnelblick.app/Contents/Resources/) and modify it to do the additional cleanup that must be done as root.

1460 + 28 = 1488 is the optimum MTU Setting.

1460 Max packet size from the Ping Test.

Therefore, you must add 28 to your results from the ping test. Please note that 20 bytes are added for the IP header and 8 bytes are allocated for the ICMP Echo Request Header. Now that you have the biggest packet size from the ping test, you will need to add 28 bytes. Once youвЂ™ve reached the packet size which does not fragment, increase the packet size in small increments and test again until you reach the biggest packet size possible that doesnвЂ™t fragment. If youвЂ™re getting the same results, drop the packet size down more and do the further test until you reach a packet size that does not fragment. Drop the packet size down by 10 to 20 bytes and test again.ДЄs you can see from the test above, our packets still need to be fragmented. You will now see your packets needs to be fragmented.

Type cmdВ into the box and then press Ctrl+Shift+EnterВ on your keyboard to run the command as an administrator.ДЄt the Command Prompt window, type in the command below followed by the EnterВ key on your keyboard. Press and hold the WinKeyВ and RВ button to launch the Run window. To do this, please follow the steps below: You can get the correct MTU values for your connection by simply sending out ping request and progressively lower down your packet size until it no longer needs to be fragmented. When youвЂ™re having network performance issues such as the VPN connection is being timed out. Generally, if your MTU value is too big for the connection, your computer/device will experience packet loss or drop of Internet connection. The maximum transmission unit (MTU) feature on your router allows you to determine the biggest data size permitted on your connection.
