How to work VPN with Tunnelblick

How to use our alternative client Tunnelblick with the HMA Pro VPN TCP+UDP OpenVPN-config files





1. Download Tunnelblick from 
 http://code.google.com/p/tunnelblick/wiki/DownloadsEntry?tm=2

2. Install Tunnelblick by following the on screen instructions

7. A new window with the folder ‘Configurations’ will appear.






8. Now you need the OpenVPN config files for Tunnelblick.

Attention: We received reports that on some systems the Tunnelblick does not work with the standard HMA *.ovpn config files.
If this is the case, use this Mac-versions instead (outdated - for newest servers, use the links below):
http://hmastuff.com/MacOSx_TunnelblickViscosity_HMAConfigFiles_TCPandUDP.zip

Standard versions:
TCP and UDP config files can be downloaded as single files @
http://hidemyass.com/vpn-config/TCP/ and
http://hidemyass.com/vpn-config/UDP/
or completely as .ZIP archive @
http://hidemyass.com/vpn-config/vpn-configs.zip

Extract the entire contents into the ‘Configurations’ folder.







9. Launch Tunnelblick from ‘Applications




10. Click on Tunnelblick icon on taskbar.






11. A drop down menu will appear.


 
12.  Select a VPN location you would like to connect to and it will prompt you for your HMA VPN username and password.

 

 
13. It will now attempt to connect.






 











14. Once connected, you can verify the IP address by going to http://ip-adress.com or http://ip2location.com




15. Congratulations! You are now connected to the VPN.
