Linc Davis is correct. The kernel extension (kext) that is needed is either a 'tun' or a 'tap' kext, depending on which type of VPN you are creating (it is something specified in the OpenVPN configuration file, and must be the same on the server and the client).
Plain Text Unicode (UTF-16) - Plain Text Western (Mac OS Roman) - Plain Text Western (Windows Latin 1) TextWrangler, as mentioned by others, is the best way to make sure line endings are compatible with whatever Windows app you are using, but you might also try saving in TextEdit as Western (DOS Latin 1) or Latin-US (DOS). Jun 11, 2017 Plain text mode is not the default mode in TextEdit on your Mac. TextEdit was designed to be a rich text editor. In TextEdit, you can apply various fonts to your text, change the size and color of text, and apply another formatting like centering, line spacing, and bulleted lists.
The kexts used by Tunnelblick [1] are from the tuntaposx project [2]. Tunnelblick includes several versions of each of the tun and tap kexts (one for OS X 10.4 and 10.5, one for 10.6 - 10.8, and one for 10.9) and loads/unloads the appropriate version dynamically as the VPN is created/destroyed.
Tunnelblick also includes binaries of two versions of OpenVPN with the latest version of the OpenSSL [3] library imbedded in each. If you use a version of OpenVPN that does not imbed OpenSSL, OpenVPN will use the command-line version of OpenSSL included in your version of OS X. That is almost always an old version and will not include some high-key-length ciphers, which means they wiil be unavailable.
If you use Tunnelblick, that's all you need -- it contains everything you need. If you want to 'do it yourself', you'll need OpenVPN and either a tun or a tap kext (or both, depending on your configurations), and you may want a newer version of OpenVPN.
Viscosity [4] also includes the necessary kexts and I believe it also imbeds an OpenSSL library in its OpenVPN binary. Viscosity has a version for Windows, too.

TextBuddy is…
Plain Mac Os Update
…a Mac app for manipulating text.
A Swiss Army knife for plain text that is there when you need it and hidden when you don’t.
Faster than your IDE. Easier than the command line.
TextBuddy is not…
…for writing code.
…for editing Markdown.
…for managing a library of plain-text notes.
TextBuddy is…
…a single-window of text with 128 useful commands you can run to transform, sort, and filteryour text into the format you need, extract some data, or jot down a quick note.
Watch a 42 second demo?
Here’s a basic editing session…
Press ⌘T to open the Command Window, search for an action, and run it on your text.
I’ve used the term ‘delightful’ to describe an app maybe twice in the past 15 years, and I hate people who abuse such term. (Today *every little thing* online is awesome amazing delightful), but man, TextBuddy is a real workflow-booster for a text fiend like me!
– Riccardo MoriI find this insanely obvious as a product. I’m considering updating my Mac to Big Sur just to run this. It’s all the text manipulation I run from the CLI without having to look up syntax.
