#Tunnelblick openvpn configuration password#
In that situation OpenVPN obtains the username and password directly from the file, which works even if no user is logged in. Change "auth-user-pass" to "auth-user-pass abc.key", and include a plain-text "abc.key" file which contains the username on the first line and the password on the second line. However, you can change the OpenVPN configuration file so it will work. There's no way to display a dialog, and there is no Keychain available. That doesn't work for "when computer starts" configurations because no user is logged in. Tunnelblick then either asks the user for them using a dialog box, or retrieves them from the currently-logged-in-user's Keychain (if the user had previously asked Tunnelblick to save them in the Keychain). If an OpenVPN configuration requires a username/password, usually it includes "auth-user-pass" without a parameter, which directs OpenVPN to ask Tunnelblick for a username and password. Whenever you quit Tunnelblick (or you log out, which causes Tunnelblick to quit), Tunnelblick will leave "when computer starts" configurations connected, but close all other configurations that are connected. You can also connect the configuration using Tunnelblick without restarting the computer. The next time the computer is started, the configuration will be connected even before anyone logs in. Once a configuration is shared, set it to connect "When computer starts".Share the configuration (or make it Deployed).To start OpenVPN (either a client or server) when the computer starts: Tunnelblick may be used to start or stop the OpenVPN server (or client) to edit the configuration file.An OpenVPN server (or client) can be started when the computer starts and keep running until the computer shuts down.
There are programs specifically written for controlling OpenVPN servers which allow you to control individual users of the server and contain many server-specific functions that are not included in Tunnelblick.Īll versions of Tunnelblick allow the use of OpenVPN as a server: Note: Although Tunnelblick can be used to control an OpenVPN server, it is most useful when there will be only one type of user of the server.
