Hello all,
I have a frustrating problem that I cannot seem to solve via Googling. I use Tunnelblick to run a VPN. I also use the NoSleep app to keep my Macbook Pro awake when the lid is close. When I close the lid, the wifi connection to the router remains active and downloads continue just fine but the VPN disconnects for some reason. It's like Tunnelblick detects the lid is closed and overrides NoSleeps instruction to the computer to ignore the closed lid.
I can't seem to find any help through Google so hopefully someone here has some advice.
The two options I can think of at the moment are to try a different app like caffeine for keeping the computer awake when the lid is closed and/or trying a different app for running the VPN, like Viscosity.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
steiney
