Pritunl Client: Unable to communicate with helper service, try restarting
macos, osx-elcapitan, vpn
Solution
After some researching I couldn't find anything useful to resolve the issue but I was sure there was a process which was conflicting with functionality of this client. I decided to `Quit` applications through `Activity Monitor` one by one. I quitted two or three known to me applications before stumbling upon a service which didn't take up much memory or CPU resources, called `helpd`. After quitting that application Pritunl Client started without any issues.
Problem
Can't run Pritunl client anymore. It just keeps showing the same error on my Mac. Error: `Unable to communicate with helper service, try restarting` OS X: El Capitan 10.11.6 Tried restarting and re-installing the app. The app used to work, not sure when it stopped working as I update most updates which come up in app store. Has anyone experienced this before? Any suggestions on the solution are appreciated.
