Hi Lynne, Dónal can correct me if I'm wrong, but Tunnelblick is a free, open-source graphical user interface for OpenVPN on Mac OSX, and can be used for client and/or server. As I recall, Dónal originally needed to work with the OpenVPN standard adopted by his university. At the time, I suggested that Viscosity (another interface) might work, because it had hooks to make it AppleScriptable to get around the accessibility issues of the status menu bar icon. But it seems as though Tunnelblick now supports both AppleScripting and access to the menu bar functions. (Amazing how the apps are stepping up to this solution now, I'm waiting for Dropbox to come out with a solution.)
HTH.
