securing tunnelblick

[missionDirk]

Because I always liked using transmission over other clients and ran into problems
with my IP being exposed when tunnelblick or my internet connection drops.
I wrote a litle app to secure the firewall for tunnelblick. It now does a bit more than that, like auto switching servers.

You can find it on the tunnelblick discussion forum.
the app is free, but I won't post a link as that would break the forum rules I guess.
( unless I get permission to post a link )

this should take you to the download on dropbox :

ipv6 for the time being is disabled until I understand better how to enable it on the local network
and being sure it doesn't use the router directly.

Do you have a link detailing minimum OS requirements, where it puts its support files, and what exactly it does? On 10.6.8, I'm just getting a crossed out VPNlock.app.

Its compiled for 10.9

It takes a list from tunnelblicks configurations. ( .ovpn files ) extracts the server IPs and port numbers. Uses these to build a list for the firewall that allows only access to these on the regular internet connection. It also downloads daily the emerging threats file, and blocks these IPs. It has a black list option as well, but I haven't used it myself.
Even if you don't want to use tunnelblick, you could use the above features by configuring tunnelblick with your vpn servers and not using it
It also has an option to block local network traffic in case you are on a wifi hotspot.

It allows the building of a favourite list of servers that can be scheduled to switch from 1 to the next etc... ( every 30 minutes and different times )

Sorry I don't have a web site at the moment.

Why are you still on 10.6.8 ? ( I am typing this on a macpro2006 running 10.9.x , ( new graphics card ) )

After install firewall will stay active until uninstall ( under tools ), even when quitting the app.
