BR500 Mac VPN problem with Big Sur
My office has a br500 vpn router, and all the macs at home connect to it to do work. With big Sur, we are not able to connect any longer. The client software Netgear recomends - tunnelblick - no long...
I tried what you said but am getting an error.
The OpenVPN log contains the following message:
"Unrecognized option or missing or extra parameter(s)".
This error means that an option that is contained in the OpenVPN configuration file or was "pushed" by the OpenVPN server:
• has been misspelled,
• has missing or extra arguments, or
• is not implemented by the version of OpenVPN which is being used for this configuration. It may be a new option that is not implemented in an old version of OpenVPN, or an old option that has been removed in a new version of OpenVPN. You can choose what version of OpenVPN to use with this configuration in the "Settings" tab of the "Configurations" panel of Tunnelblick's "VPN Details" window.
See the VPN log in the "Log" tab of the "Configurations" panel of Tunnelblick's "VPN Details" window for details.
Hi
Sorry to hear that your config does not work.
Client side I am using Tunnelblick 3.8.5beta01 (build 5610) (or Viscosity which imports settings from Tunnelblick)
Here is my .conf (which works from Big Sur), maybe that could be helpful
