That way you'll know you're using the latest versions of everything. Instead of using Tunnelblick, you can compile, install, and run openvpn by hand. My results are the same as DgtHorse in that I have to manually set tap0 to use DHCP, but after about 5 seconds the connection resets and tunnelblick goes through the process of connecting again. I must go to the terminal and manually run 'sudo ipconfig set tap0 DHCP' in order for it to work. Same issue here with the latest tun/tap kernel extensionĪlways getting 'write to TUN/TAP : Input/output error (code=5)' You might try installing the updated tun and tap kernel extensions. I'm running the most recent version of Tunnelblick on OSX 10.5

When I try that the machine locks up and I get the OSX 'BSOD' which forces me to hold down the power button and restart.Īnyone have any additional ideas how to get this working? Manually entering ' sudo ipconfigg set tap0 DHCP' into a Term window doesn't work either. conf file and set permissions, but I still get the scrolling error=5. Posted: Sun 3:35 Post subject: This solution isn't working for me Ok it seems to work, but once i get the code=5 error i must doĪnd then the errors go away and everything works normally. I am getting the same error code=5 and scrolling.Īnyone have a fix for this? runs fine on my windows box but my OSX box is giving me problems with the error. Must the script also run as admin, and if so, how and why? Still getting the TUN/TAP error code=5 scrolling. Did so, in OS X Terminal, with 'dhcp' in caps, it ran fine.

I have admin rights on my Mac, what more must I do to get permission? I played around with setting tap0 using methods other than DHCP, all got the 'permission denied' error, so it looks like I do not have sufficient permission to set tap0. Ianduffmacbookpro:~ ian$ ipconfig set $1 DHCP Ipconfig_set tap0 DHCP failed: permission denied Ianduffmacbookpro:~ ian$ ipconfig set tap0 DHCP I ran the second line in each suggestion in OS X Terminal both failed, although for different reasons: Thanks for posting this, slothrop and khk.

I had assumed that the TUN and TAP drivers were broken and given up trying to get OpenVPN to work on my system. If you use the following, you don't have to hardcode the device in your script: One of these parameters (the first one actually) is the device that is being processed. I can however offer a small modification to your script: OpenVPN provides command line options to the up script. Thank you for this tip, it helped to get my setup working. Posted: Sun 20:30 Post subject: Slightly more elegant solution :) I found this info in a forum somewhere else, so I can't take credit for it. There might be a more elegant way to do all this, but it works for me as is. Just remember to make the vpn-up.sh script executable (chmod 755 vpn-up.sh). The vpn-up.sh script should be placed in the same directory with the nf file. Add the following line to your nf (I put this after my ca/cert/key lines) to call a quick little script to do this: The solution is to tell tap0 to use DHCP explicitly after bringing it up. Connection logs on the client said 'write to TUN/TAP : Input/output error (code=5)' and the tap0 interface never got an IP address. I could get the initial connection to work, but no data would flow over it.

I just solved a problem I'd been having trying to get Mac clients to connect over OpenVPN to a WRT54GL running v23 SP2 (9/15) vpn. Posted: Thu 3:51 Post subject: OpenVPN and Mac clients fix
