OpenVPN

I am trying to build a VPN to a FreeBSD Server running OpenVPN server. I am running Mac OSX 10.4.6. I have been trying both on a PowerBook
running straight to the internet and a Power PC behind a router . I have installed OpenVPN client 2.1 and tunnelblick. Tech services for my server assure me that it us running correctly and is reachable. When I use Tunnelblick i get a "waiting for demon process" and then it dies.

Anyone have any ideas on this or how I can get OpenVPN to run under Tiger?

thanks

Jason

various, Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Well you are using a tap kind of adapter that is an ethernet bridging ... tunnelblick blinking mean that it tries to connect but is not finished ... only when it get a solid white color it means that is established the tunnel.
In order to connect via ssh etc you should use the server ip but in a tap a.k.a. an ethernet bridge you should be assigned an ip of the remote local lan ...

when you press the connect from tunnelblick open also the details and see what it says ...
