How to Uninstall Tunnelblick

Tunnelblick is the name of an application that advertises itself as a tool assisting Mac users in connecting securely to OpenVPN servers. According to the application's website, Tunnelblick does no tracking of its users, not even IP addresses.

In order to use Tunnelblick on a Mac, you will still need your OpenVPN config file and your encryption information. The Tunnelblick app serves more as a graphical user interface, allowing for easier use of the OpenVPN service.

The application is only available on Mac and has no Windows version. However, there are similar applications for Windows and the installer of OpenVPN also offers the option for its own graphical user interface during the install process on Windows.

If you are switching to a different VPN service or you simply no longer wish to use VPN on your desktop Mac computer or your Macbook, you can uninstall Tunnelblick from your system to free up a bit of disk space and to keep a tidier machine.

This article will give you a brief guide on how to uninstall Tunnelblick from your Mac. Simply follow the following steps:

  1. Make sure Tunnelblick is not running. Click its icon in the menu bar and choose “Quit Tunnelblick”.
  2. Navigate to your Applications folder, using either the dock shortcut or Finder.
  3. Find the Tunnelblick icon and drag and drop it onto your Trash.
  4. Press Command+Shift+G to bring up the “Go to” box and type in ~/Library.

Inside your Application Support folder will be a Tunnelblick folder which you can delete.

Inside your library folder, check the inside of the following folders:

~/Library/Caches/

~/Library/Logs/

~/Library/LaunchAgents/

~/Library/Saved Application State/

Look for files that are named Tunnelblick and remove them.

  1. Empty your Trash to complete the uninstall process.

This should be enough to completely remove Tunnelblick from your Mac computer.
