> Apple proposes that programs such as Tunnelblick be modified to use a different method to accomplish the function that the system extensions currently perform. The current Tunnelblick developers do not have the time or expertise to use the new method Apple proposes and have no plans to do so. Tunnelblick's value proposition is that it's a way to use OpenVPN on MacOS. What's its point if if stops doing that? I'd have much more sympathy if it was a cross-platform application or if they had to keep rewriting/refactoring code multiple times because Apple kept changing different APIs from under their feet. That's not the case. Their only platform is macOS and AFAIK this is the only meaningful API migration they are being forced to do in 11 years. I know we cannot demand anything from Open Source maintainers, but is it really too much to ask that if you're the maintainer of a very popular security related application, you either learn how to code for the platform you're targeting or you pass on the torch? I just don't understand the obsession with clinging on to being the unwilling maintainer for something that you don't master when the option of passing on the torch is always there. Someone willing will always pick up something as important as an OpenVPN client for an extremely popular operating system.
