I do still have this error from time to time, after multiple connects so that I have to quit and restart Eddie. After a clean restart of Eddie, it works for most of the time until I do a lot of additional connects. I am on macOS 26.5.2 Is there any indication on why and when this error could occur?

Hello JesusxSaves, This thread began on 21 August with the announcement of the release of Eddie 2.26.2 Desktop Edition. On 2 September, I realised I’d overlooked this announcement regarding the release of the ‘stable’ version; I tested it again without success, and posted a comment to say that my issue with launching eddie-ui was still unresolved. Three hours later, you posted a comment beneath mine criticising the Eddie/AirVPN developers, writing that you’re capable of doing better than them at writing an entire graphical VPN client program using LLMs, and adding that you easily create games on Android using vibe coding. Perhaps I’m mistaken, but I get the slight impression that you’ve taken advantage of my post—in which I expressed my frustration at being stuck on version 2.25.1 of eddie-ui—to vent your own frustration. Even if the fact that you posted your message three hours after mine is a coincidence, I do not wish to be associated with what you wrote, and to remove any ambiguity: I am completely opposed to what you are claiming. I find that the way you phrase your criticisms in this post is rather inelegant, and disrespectful towards the eddie/AirVPN developers. It is possible that forum readers who are curious and keenly interested in all things relating to the vibe coding scene might be unduly influenced by the way you phrase your comments, and that this could lead to a certain amount of harmful pressure being placed on the eddie/AirVPN developers. That is why I would like to add my own perspective below: Low-level vs Graphical User Interface: The server and client software developed by the eddie/AirVPN team falls under the SECURITY category (not the Android gaming category). This requires a sound low-level understanding of operating systems, expertise in constantly evolving network protocols, security monitoring, and the ability to respond swiftly should any vulnerabilities be discovered. For security software developers, focusing on the low-level aspects is always a PRIORITY over the higher-level graphical user interface. The graphical user interface of the free software eddie-ui is becoming outdated, but it is not fundamentally incompatible with operating systems (for the time being). It is important to note that, despite all its minor flaws, eddie-ui remains a remarkable piece of software. Unlike the ‘flashy’ software from major VPN companies, the graphical user interface of the open-source eddie-ui is designed first and foremost with the aim of providing maximum freedom for the end user: it offers a vast range of configuration and customisation options, even in its mobile versions. All these graphical user interface controls, which allow for very fine-grained configuration of the underlying VPN client software (OpenVPN + WireGuard), must certainly have required a great deal of development time. I think that this freedom of choice for the end user is a hallmark of the eddie/AirVPN team’s ethical commitment. This is the spirit of free software as taught by Richard Stallman and the Free Software Foundation. Money: Companies with plenty of money tend to completely rewrite their software and graphical user interfaces in Rust, which automatically eliminates certain programming errors that can occur in C++. But AirVPN is a small organisation that has no intention of becoming a start-up funded by private equity. Vibe coding: LLMs are powerful tools for computer programming. But they must be used wisely and with great caution. Starting to have an LLM agent do all the work from A to Z by giving it interface objectives amounts to taking the very high risk of no longer manually checking the underlying code (see the French case of Benjamin Code), and of introducing security vulnerabilities. Just a few days ago, on 30 August 2026, reputable figures such as the Debian developers decided to authorise the use of LLMs in the Debian project, in accordance with a clearly defined code of conduct that may evolve (General resolution: LLM usage in Debian: Results). The eddie/AirVPN developers are also serious people, but they’re a small team → Please don’t put pressure on them. They’re professionals and they’re evolving just like everyone else. They know how they need to work...

ANSWERED trying to get air vpn to startup with linux machine
Staff replied to reader45's topic in Troubleshooting and Problems
Hello! It is not necessary, with the option you mention Eddie will start during the system boot either on Windows or Linux based on systemd. Starting from 2.26.2 it will start on SysV init based Linux boxes too (this is new: if you find again malfunctions on SysV init based systems please warn the developers on the thread or via ticket). If the Connect at startup option is also active, then Eddie will start AND connect during the system bootstrap. Of course you are free to start Eddie automatically in different, canonical ways on each system. Kind regards -

Can no longer enable network lock if "Don't ask elevation every run" is enabled. It pops up with the error "Exception: State directory not available". Once that is disabled and Eddie is restarted then the network locks normally. Running Debian 13. https://eddie.website/report/6a485d91/ -

reader45 replied to reader45's topic in Troubleshooting and Problems
I ran a windows 10 machine up and installed on that, selected the same boxes and it started up as i imagined. Windows started up, airvpn started up and because i had "reconnect to last server" ticked it connected to server without me doing anything else. So what else do i need to do to make airvpn/eddie startup when the box is cold booted or rebooted ? -
Gluetun + qbittorrent + port forwarding not working
Staff replied to traerin's topic in Troubleshooting and Problems
Hello! The FIREWALL_VPN_INPUT_PORTS environment variable is not set, unless you set it in your GlueTun invocation command, therefore the incoming (unsolicited) packets on the tunnel VPN interface are dropped. See also: https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun-wiki/blob/main/setup/options/firewall.md Note that the other variables related to firewall and inbound ports that you set on the compose file do not affect the firewall rules for the VPN interface: FIREWALL_INPUT_PORTS pertains to the default interface. You might like to delete the related line as we bet you do not want your p2p software to reply to incoming packets from the Internet and disclose your real IP address VPN_PORT_FORWARDING_LISTENING_PORTS has a totally different purpose, it re-directs a port to a custom localhost port of your choosing and will break p2p software ability to receive incoming packets. Do not use this variable with torrent clients, or any other software that publicly announces its port, as that software would not be aware of the publicly visible port and would be announcing the private port instead. Delete that line and read the documentation here for more details: https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun-wiki/blob/main/setup/advanced/vpn-port-forwarding.md As a side note for you and all the readers using GlueTun: read GlueTun's good documentation if you haven't already done so! Kind regards -
ANSWERED Asus Merlin VPN Network Unreachable
Tech Jedi Alex replied to Keeble's topic in Troubleshooting and Problems
Please start your own and give as much info as you can on the problem, what you tried, what you try to achieve, etc.; this is a help thread for another user. Simple formality. Hope it won't deter you -
I believe, starting Eddie itself. The options don't enter Eddie into any autostart mechanisms, that must be done by yourself. Connect at startup means "when Eddie starts, connect immediately". Don't ask elevation every run means "when Eddie starts, don't ask for sudo password". Both options are essential for what you want to achieve, but you still need to start Eddie itself.

ANSWERED Asus Merlin VPN Network Unreachable
Hotgloblin replied to Keeble's topic in Troubleshooting and Problems
Hope it's correct form to append to this thread for the sake of others? Or should I start a new one? I have just had this problem. Yes, I have ip6 disabled in Merlin. The issue is the AirVPN configurator is not inserting the ip4 only commands into the .opvn file even when "ip4 only" is selected in Configurator. I have to add the following to the .opvn file: pull-filter ignore "dhcp-option DNS6" pull-filter ignore "tun-ipv6" pull-filter ignore "ifconfig-ipv6" pull-filter ignore "route-ipv6" setenv UV_IPV6 no The last command being optional. Is this by design? I had been told security was enhanced with ip4 only set on the Merlin side. Per Perplexity AI: "Merlin currently does not route IPv6 traffic through an external OpenVPN client reliably, so enabling IPv6 on the router while relying on OpenVPN can recreate the leak risk. The safest configuration for your existing hardware and goal is therefore to block IPv6 rather than attempt to tunnel it". But this then causes a conflict with the Configurator generated .opvn file causing the vpn not to load. Maybe because no one selects ip4 only in the Configurator any more?! Is this AI security claim false and should I just include ip6 in both Merlin and the Configurator? -

Hello everyone, Before posting, i've checked different topics on the same issue (Here, here, here, here), but I didn't find any solution. Before, I was on Win11 with the AirVPN app, and port forwarding was working. I switchted my mini server on Proxmox, and put qbittorrent behind gluetun. It works in a way, as I can download and upload, even if the DHT number is half what it was on Win11. But the main issue is that I'm struggling accessing my qbittorrent Web UI from outside. On the AirVPN port forwarding admin, when I test open my 2 ports (one for download, one for the web ui), I have connection timeout. Port 37596 is for download. Port 30306 is for Web UI. Here is my docker compose : services: gluetun: image: qmcgaw/gluetun container_name: gluetun cap_add: - NET_ADMIN devices: - /dev/net/tun:/dev/net/tun volumes: - /opt/docker/config/gluetun:/gluetun ports: - 37596:37596/tcp - 37596:37596/udp - 30306:30306 environment: - VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=airvpn - VPN_TYPE=wireguard - WIREGUARD_PRIVATE_KEY=*** - WIREGUARD_PRESHARED_KEY=*** - WIREGUARD_ADDRESSES=***/32 - WIREGUARD_IMPLEMENTATION=userspace - WIREGUARD_MTU=1320 - WIREGUARD_PORT=1637 - SERVER_COUNTRIES=Netherlands - PORT_FORWARDED=37596,30306 - FIREWALL_OUTBOUND_SUBNETS=192.168.1.0/24 - FIREWALL_INPUT_PORTS=30306,37596 - VPN_PORT_FORWARDING_LISTENING_PORTS=30306,37596 - DNS_UPSTREAM_RESOLVER_TYPE=plain - DNS_UPSTREAM_PLAIN_ADDRESSES=***:53 - UPDATER_PERIOD=24h healthcheck: test: ["NONE"] restart: always qbittorrent: image: lscr.io/linuxserver/qbittorrent:latest container_name: qbittorrent network_mode: "service:gluetun" environment: - PUID=1000 - PGID=1000 - TZ=Europe/Paris - WEBUI_PORT=30306 - TORRENTING_PORT=37596 volumes: - /opt/docker/config/qbittorrent/qBittorrent:/config - /mnt/pve/NAS:/NAS restart: always If someone has an idea, it would be delightful Thank you :) -
Seems to have corrected my issue "VPN Network Adapter Not found"

I did the update to 2.27.1, changed the firewalld.conf to NftablesTableOwner=no - unfortunately the issue is still there. Dont know if its relevant, but until 2.26.2 Fedora 44 and Eddie worked fine together for me, and even with deactivated network lock (Ensure in session is off) Eddie is unable to connect.

Hi I am moving from another vpn, I have got a 3 day sub to try out. I have on a linux mint v22 box and have got sorted with the software i run and its all ok. However once confirmed working i now want to set the vpn so it starts up when the box is cold booted or rebooted. (doesnt happen often but nice to set and forget) I have read a faq's for airvpn, eddie ui and looked at all the menus in config and thought it looks like just "connect at startup" and "dont ask elevation on every run" need to be ticked. When i do a cold boot or a reboot Air VPN doesn't load at all, so my other 2 softwares load and pick up my real ip, so i have to close them down manually start airvpn then my apps. What have i missed ? Thanks in advance of any help.
