New Tunnelblick version fixes Nameserver problems
If your company uses OpenVPN as the VPN-solution for road warriors, and you are using a Mac, you are probably using Tunnelblick. Tunnelblick is a nice GUI wrapper for OpenVPN on OS X. (I understand it consists of a bit more than a wrapper, but you never see those parts.)I recently upgraded to version 3.0b9 which fixed all those nasty crash bugs, but created a new problem for me: it would no longer correctly set the nameserver if told to. Even worse, it would somehow destroy /etc/resolv.conf, so all name resolution went out while using the VPN. Not very useful, so I lived without the company nameservers and tried to remember the important IP addresses instead (uh).
On November 20th a new version was released - 3.0b10 - which fixes this problem, but this is not noted in the ReleaseNotes. I suspect the bug was fixed in openvpn and not in Tunnelblick, and the new openvpn version which is included in the new Tunnelblick version no longer suffers from this problem.
Yay.
