Question about blocking

[valdi 0]

Hi!

 

I feel like a noob asking this, but there is something I do not quite understand.

 

I live in a country where a recent court order has instructed the ISP's to block several sites due to piracy-allegations.

I sometimes browse these sites, and belived this to not be a problem since I am using AirVPN.

Still; when I try to access the site in question, I am told by my local ISP that this site is blocked due to the earlier mentioned court order. This surprised me, because I belived that my ISP could not see which IP-adresses I tried to access except the AirVPN-address?

 

I searched the web and found suggestions to help, example flushing the DNS, changing the proxy settings etc. but alas - no help.

 

What am I missing here?!

Hello,

 

what is your OS and which software do you run to connect to our service? When your system is allegedly connected to the VPN, browse to:

http://ipleak.net and verify carefully all the data.

 

Feel free to open a ticket to get proper support. In the ticket please include the connection logs of the software you use to connect. If you run our client please click "Logs" -> "Copy to clipboard" and paste everything into your message.

 

Kind regards

It seems you are still using the DNS from your ISP. Do you have the Network Lock enabled?

Hi!

I've now checked the ipleak-site, and on that site I can see my local IP-address side by side with the IP-address from AirVPN.

I have manually changed the DNS-settings according to this site, and done the other things they say I should do:

/vvv.expressvpn.com/support/blocked_sites

 

Kind regards

If you are using openvpn to connect to airvpn you could follow the instructions here https://dnsleaktest.com/how-to-fix-a-dns-leak.html or you could manually change your dns servers to ones in a country that allow the websites that you want to connect to.  Select the DNS servers from here http://wiki.opennicproject.org/Tier2.
