Seems like a open issue at Tunnelblick/Tunnelblick#682

Tunnelblick/Tunnelblick#682

same for me as well

Incase this helps anyone else:

A good alternative has been setting up an ovpn container to run in docker and using Tunnelblick to connect with our needed CIDR ranges. Not as ideal as a proper host bridge but its pretty close.

Hi @gitrojones , I stumbled upon this issue and I was wondering if you can you please elaborate with specific steps on how i could use the ovpn container/Tunnelblick setup that you are referring to?
I would like to be able to create bridge interface between the Physical Machine and the Host Virtual Machine which isn't possible currently as tuntap is not supported in M1 and from my understanding this can be achieved with your approach?
Thanks in advance

Yep works well with M1. Specific steps depends on your setup but essentially you'd just bring up OVPN in docker via something like https://hub.docker.com/r/kylemanna/openvpn/, copy the generated certificate to your local machine then connect to the above container using an OVPN client like Tunnelblick via the certificate. You should be able to follow nearly step-by-step with the steps on the docker image above.

I'm not working on OSX systems anymore but we had a handful of dev's w/ M1 machines using this approach without issue.

Thanks a lot for the info and time, i will check the guide and follow up the openvpn steps.
