History
The first stable release was version 3.0 in March 2010.[3]
Issues
In January 2016, the Sparkle Updater component used by Tunnelblick was found to be vulnerable to a man-in-the-middle attack. This security flaw has since been patched.[4]
Any VPN or third party tool like Tunnelblick can cause connectivity problems while syncing with iCloud.[5]
