Note: We have released a ProtonVPN app for macOS! If your device uses macOS version 10.12 and above, you can download our app here. The tutorial for our macOS app is here. With this app, you can connect to ProtonVPN directly without Tunnelblick. If your device uses an earlier version. Edit me Introduction. Unity is a cross-platform game engine for creating games in both 2D and 3D. Unity supports building games for many platforms such as iOS, Android, Windows, PlayStation, Oculus Rift, and many more. If you are looking for an OpenVPN alternative for Mac then you should go with Tunnelblick. It’s specifically built for macOS and is compatible with Sierra, High Sierra, and the latest macOS Mojave. Just like OpenVPN, it’s open-source and completely free. To use Tunnelblick you need access to a VPN server: your computer is one end of the tunnel and the VPN server is the other end. For more information, see Getting VPN Service. Tunnelblick is licensed under the GNU General Public License, version 2 and may be distributed only in accordance with the terms of that license.
Client software implementations
Linux Network-Manager GUI for OpenVPN
Many Linux distributions including Ubuntu desktop variants come with Network Manager, a nice GUI to configure your network settings. It also can manage your VPN connections. It is the default, but if in doubt make sure you have package network-manager-openvpn installed.
Open the Network Manager GUI, select the VPN tab and then the ‘Add’ button. Select OpenVPN as the VPN type in the opening requester and press ‘Create’. In the next window add the OpenVPN’s server name as the ‘Gateway’, set ‘Type’ to ‘Certificates (TLS)’, point ‘User Certificate’ to your user certificate, ‘CA Certificate’ to your CA certificate and ‘Private Key’ to your private key file. Use the advanced button to enable compression (e.g. comp-lzo), dev tap, or other special settings you set on the server. Now try to establish your VPN.
OpenVPN with GUI for Mac OS X
- Tunnelblick is an excellent free, open source implementation of a GUI for OpenVPN for OS X. Download the latest OS X installer from there and install it. It also is recommended by upstream which would have a alternative on their own
Then put your client.ovpn config file together with the certificates and keys in /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Tunnelblick/Configurations/ and lauch Tunnelblick from your Application folder.
Instead of downloading manually, if you have brew set up on MacOS this is as easy as:
brew cask install tunnelblick
