Network needs bounce after Mac client disconnect

[something 0]

Hi,

 

I'm using the Airvpn Mac client, and all works well, except that when I disconnect the client, I find that my network connection hangs (Chrome shows "resolving...", maybe a DNS thing?) until I bounce the network interface.  Any ideas why that might be?  Anyone else having a similar issue?

 

For now, bouncing it isn't terribly painful (I set it inactive, apply, then active, apply in Network prefs), but I'd like to get to the bottom of it.

 

Thanks.

Hello!

 

Which Eddie version are you running?

 

A possible explanation is that Eddie does not reset your original DNS, maybe because they were already set to VPN DNS for some reason (in this case, for Eddie the "original" DNS are the VPN DNS...). While you're disconnected from the VPN, please verify which DNS are set in your system, before you perform any card reset.

 

Kind regards

Thanks for the reply!

 

I am using version 2.6.

 

My DNS in network settings is pointed to my local router (192.168.0.1), which is in turn pointed at Google DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, with my ISP as a backup).  The DNS settings (in network prefs) do not seem to change whether or not I am connected to VPN through the client.

 

Thanks!
