Free OpenVPN Mac OS X 10.3/10.4 Version 2.3.2 Full Specs. Download.com offers no downloadable file for this product and presents data on the last available version for informational purposes. If you still want to set up OpenVPN manually, go step-by-step through following instructions: OpenVPN Setup instructions. Tunnelblick is a plug-n-play VPN client for macOS X. It provides easy control of CactusVPN SSL VPN client connections. Download the latest stable version of Tunnelblick (1).

This guide will you take you each step of the way through setting up a VPN on your Mac. The steps and screenshots used in this tutorial are from OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) but are nearly identical to previous versions of OS X, so you should have no trouble following along, even if you’re not using Yosemite.

If you don’t have a VPN service yet, I strongly recommend and endorse the VPN service provided by Private Internet Access, which works perfectly with OS X on any Mac.

Openvpn Connect For Mac

1. Let’s get started. Click the Apple Button from the Menu Bar, and select System Preferences….
2. Locate the Network button, and give it a click.
3. From the menu on the left side of the Network window, there’s a list of all your current connections (whether they’re in use or not). To add a VPN connection, click the “plus sign” ( + ) at the bottom of your Network connections list (see screenshot below).
4. Click the “up and down arrow” icon at the end of the Interface: drop down menu.
5. Select VPN from that list.
6. For the sake of this tutorial we’re going to create an L2TP over IPSec VPN connection. Without having to install any additional software, OS X supports the VPN protocols L2TP (over IPSec), PPTP and Cisco IPSec. If you’re using PPTP or Cisco IPSec you should still be able to follow along without any problems, the steps are quite similar.
7. Give your Service Name:, a name. The name itself doesn’t matter, but something descriptive is always best. That way you’ll always know which VPN you’re connecting to, especially if you set up multiple VPNs. Click the Create button when you’re done.
8. Back in the main section of the Network window is where you’ll configure the first part of your VPN connection. Leave the Configuration: set to Default. Enter your VPN service providers server in the Server Address: field, and your VPN user name in the Account Name: section. Now click on the Authentication Settings… button.
9. You can enter your password in the Password: field if you’d like, or you can leave it blank and have your Mac ask for your VPN password each time you connect to it (which is more secure). If your VPN provider uses a Secret key, enter it in the Shared Secret: field. When you’re done, click OK
10. Now click the Advanced button.
11. Place a check in the box labelled Send all traffic over VPN connection and then click OK.
12. Finally, make sure there’s a check in the box labelled Show VPN in the menu bar, and click Apply.
13. Now locate that VPN icon in your Menu Bar (see screenshot below) and click it. Select your newly created VPN to connect to it.
14. If you opted to have your Mac save your VPN connection, you should connect right away. Otherwise you’ll be prompted for your password, and then connect. Either way, you’re done! If you click the VPN icon again, it will show you how long you’ve been connected.

There are three client options for Mac OS X.:

• The OpenVPN command line client. Most users prefer a graphical client, so thisoption will not be covered.

• Tunnelblick, a free option available for download at the Tunnelblick Website.

• The commercial Viscosity client. At the time of this writing, it costs $14USD for a single seat. If OpenVPN is used frequently, Viscosity is a muchnicer client and well worth the cost.

Both Tunnelblick and Viscosity are easily installed, with no configurationoptions during installation.

Configuring Viscosity¶

When using the Viscosity client, it can be configured manually or the OpenVPNClient Export package may be used to import the configuration. Viscosityprovides a GUI configuration tool that can be used to generate the underlyingOpenVPN client configuration. The CA and certificates can be imported manually,and all of the parameters can be set by hand. This section cover importing aViscosity bundle from the export package.

• Download a copy of the Viscosity bundle for the client from the OpenVPNClient Export package

• Locate the saved file, which will end in .visc.zip indicating that it is acompressed archive

• Copy this exported bundle to a folder on the Mac

• Double click this file and it will expand to Viscosity.visc

• Double click Viscosity.visc and Viscosity will open and import theconnection as shown in Figure Viscosity Import

• Delete the Viscosity.visc directory and the .zip archive

• Viscosity will be running after import, and may be found in the menu bar

• Click the lock icon added to the menu bar at the top of the screen

• Click Preferences to check that the configuration was imported as shown inFigure Viscosity Preferences

  Apple ProRes codecs take full advantage of multicore processing and feature fast, reduced-resolution decoding modes. All Apple ProRes codecs support any frame size (including SD, HD, 2K, and 4K) at full resolution. The data rates vary based on codec type, image content, frame size, and frame rate. Apple ProRes includes the following formats. Apple ProRes QuickTime Decoder. Play Apple ProRes files through QuickTime. You can get access to all the great Apple Codecs AND you can use them with SA. SA defaults to Animation but I change it to ProRes 422 and the files are way smaller and look just as good as Animation. Plus if you do have Final Cut X you have to use ProRes 422 files. So here is how you get access to them. This update adds the following video codecs for use by QuickTime-based applications: Apple Intermediate Codec Apple ProRes AVC-Intra DVCPRO HD HDV XDCAM HD / EX / HD422 MPEG IMX Uncompressed 4:2:2.

Viscosity Details¶

Clicking the up/down arrow button in the middle of the details screen displaysadditional network traffic statistics. This shows the traffic sent within thetunnel (TUN/TAP In and Out), as well as the total TCP or UDP traffic sentincluding the overhead of the tunnel and encryption. For connections usingprimarily small packets the overhead is considerable with all VPN solutions. Thestats shown in Figure Viscosity Details: Traffic Statistics are from only afew pings traversing the connection. The traffic sent in bringing up theconnection is also counted here, so the initial overhead is higher than what itwill be after being connected for some time. Also, the typical VPN traffic willhave larger packet sizes than 64 byte pings, making the total overhead anddifference between these two numbers considerably less.

Clicking on the third icon in the middle of the Details screen shows theOpenVPN log file (Figure Viscosity Details: Logs). If there is any troubleconnecting, review the logs here to help determine the problem. See alsoTroubleshooting OpenVPN.
