I've been passed a macbook with a previous install of openvpn which I'm trying to get working.
I dutifully imported the my existing functional openvpn configuration (from a windows openvpn) install and it *almost* works. Here's where it's stopping:
Sun Dec 14 11:43:45 2008: Control Channel Authentication: using 'ta.key' as a OpenVPN static key file
Sun Dec 14 11:43:45 2008: LZO compression initialized
Sun Dec 14 11:43:45 2008: UDPv4 link local: [undef]
Sun Dec 14 11:43:45 2008: UDPv4 link remote: 99.99.99.99:34443
Sun Dec 14 11:43:50 2008: [duke] Peer Connection Initiated with 99.99.99.99:34443
Sun Dec 14 11:43:52 2008: Cannot allocate TUN/TAP dev dynamically
Any suggestions?

Hi Andrew,
This line appears to be your culprit:
1. The TUN/TAP drivers are not correctly installed/loaded on your computer. In this case I'd recommend restarting your computer and re-running Viscosity. Alternatively you can manually install the TUN/TAP drivers from:
http://tuntaposx.sourceforge.net/
2. Viscosity is unable to start the connection with root permissions. In this case I'd also recommend restarting the computer and re-running Viscosity.
Cheers
James

Code: Select all
There are two common reasons for why this may be occurring:Cannot allocate TUN/TAP dev dynamically
1. The TUN/TAP drivers are not correctly installed/loaded on your computer. In this case I'd recommend restarting your computer and re-running Viscosity. Alternatively you can manually install the TUN/TAP drivers from:
