Jonathan (maintainer of Tunnelblick) confirmed that only a handful (if
any) using OpenVPN on 10.3. Tiger (10.4) is still in relatively wide
use, even though it does not seem to get any security fixes. In any
case, we'll be dropping "official" support for 10.3 in the next release.
It might very well work regardless of that. Having older OpenVPN
versions on the downloads page for old OS'es makes sense.
