Welcome. Looks like a permissions issue.

What does your Console Log look like? Do you see anything like this:


Copied /Library/Application Support/Tunnelblick/Shared/server_name.tblk.temp to /Library/Application Support/Tunnelblick/Shared/server_name.tblk
Changed ownership of /Library/Application Support/Tunnelblick/Shared/server_name.tblk and its contents to 0:0
Changed permissions from 755 to 750 on /Library/Application Support/Tunnelblick/Shared/server_name.tblk
Changed permissions from 755 to 750 on /Library/Application Support/Tunnelblick/Shared/server_name.tblk/Contents
Changed permissions from 755 to 750 on /Library/Application Support/Tunnelblick/Shared/server_name.tblk/Contents/Resources
Changed permissions from 644 to 600 on /Library/Application Support/Tunnelblick/Shared/server_name.tblk/Contents/Resources/config.ovpn

 

I don't want to tell you to uninstall and re-install because I don't use Tunnelblick that much. You might want to post in the Discussion Group. This page explains the information they could use:

If you want to give the uninstall / reinstall a try-

 

You can see the uninstall process here:

After you re-install, check out the section: The First Time Tunnelblick is Run on a Computer on this page:

https://code.google.com/p/tunnelblick/wiki/UsingTunnelblick#Installing_Tunnelblick

The first time a new installation of Tunnelblick is run on a computer and after a reinstall, upgrade, or downgrade, it will display the following screen:

This <should> repair your permissions but I'm not really that familiar with the process.

I'm not that good with comand line stuff but maybe you can try to change to permissions yourself. Perhaps a Linux or OS X person could come up with something more efficient.

 

Try this from terminal:

 

sudo chmod -R 750 "/Library/Application Support/Tunnelblick/Shared/"

 

That will change the permissions of everything (recursively) in /Library/Application Support/Tunnelblick/Shared/

 

cd "/Library/Application Support/"

 

sudo find ./Tunnelblick/Shared/ -name -print config.ovpn -exec chmod 600 {} \;
 

That will change the permissions of config.ovpn for your connections.

Hello!

 

This is pasted from caduber's ticket, to readers' comfort:

 

Hello!

In most cases this problem is caused by wrong permission/ownerships in the system folders. Please run the Disk Repair Utility and perform a "Repair Permissions" on your boot drive, it should fix the issue.
