I've downgraded the latest openvpn update and still cannot connect. The failure to connect does seem to coincide with all connections being made through TCP as others mentioned.

I really does seem odd that all servers are suddenly set to TCP. I don't recall how many openvpn TCP connections were available as I always use UDP for performance reasons. Changing an openvpn server from UDP to TCP requires a restart of the server.

I guess we'll have to wait until an admin steps in with the answers.

Edited: Just found an openvpn udp connection and that works fine (even with the latest openvpn fix).
Also as an additional test, I restarted my own openvpn server in tcp mode and was able to connect just fine (after also changing the firewall settings in router and computer to accept tcp). That rules out any problems with openvpn and tcp connections.

Deborah123,

I assume you're using OpenVPN? Download an OpenVPN UDP file, import it into Tunnelblick (following the steps) and you should be good to go.

I don't have a Mac and I'm using Linux and cannot connect using TCP files. Since OS X is based on BSD (Unix) you might have the same problem and might need to use UDP files.
