Connecting Using OpenVPN on a MAC – Help Centre

Smoothwall-SSL-OpenVPN-client.exe will not run, nor is it needed for Mac devices.

Prerequisites

Configure an SSL tunnel and make sure it's running on the Smoothwall Filter and Firewall. See our help topic, Setting up the SSL VPN.
Make sure that user information is available, either via a local users' accounts or a directory service look-up. See Managing directories.

Generate an archive containing the client software and the VPN settings, see our help topic, Managing global VPN network settings.
Copy this archive to your Apple Mac and extract the following files:
- connection.ovpn
- servercert.pem
- cacert.pem
- ta.key (if in the archive)
From the device, download tunnelblick from https://tunnelblick.net/, taking care to note any bug fixes in later versions.
Double-click on 'connection.ovpn' to start the VPN tunnel.
