Cannot connect to any vpn server

[homeuser3 0]

I cannot connect to any air vpn server at the moment.  I can use the internet when the client reads "checking route" but it nevers connects and continues to disconnect.  Please help.

SBYP - Search Before You Post.

 

Searching for "checking route" generated ~144 results, for example:

Stuck at Checking Route

Cant Connect to VPN server << Windows 10

"checking route", can't connect to any servers

Checking route fails

 

There are more, so just go to the search page and do this one yourself. Maybe you'll see something of value.

Well, I'm having the same problem, and that SBYP comment is meaningless in this case.

 

None of those links you gave have any solutions.... people post their logs and nobody answers, and I don't have time to check the other 140 results, so apparently searching won't help.

 

Since Eddie keeps disconnecting after "checking route" (this happens with or without network lock), I'm using Viscosity now and it's working fine.

 

I've been using Viscosity with AirVPN for years... I just started using Eddie a few weeks ago, and I'm very happy with it, but this is the second time in two weeks I've had to go back to Viscosity because Eddie won't connect.

SBYP on its own is of course a meaningless comment, but that's not the only thing I wrote, right?

 

Let me ask you something - why touch a running system? Why using Eddie if Viscosity never gave you a reason to change your client? Just curious.

Because S.O.A. and I had a short discussion about this, and he said Eddie is more secure with Network Lock than Viscosity is with his disconnect script. And with Eddie the server list is updated live so I don't have to generate a new config file every time Air adds or drops a server, and if my connection slows down I can check the stats. Good points, so I finally decided to try it.

 

I like it when it works, but there seems to be an intermittent problem. I went out for a few hours, and when I got back I disconnected Viscosity, tried Eddie again, and now it's working.

 

Edit... I'm on Mac OSX 10.10.5 if that makes any difference.

My apologies, I had a very long log posted along with my issue but made an edit to the post and deleted all the log info, after I solved my problem.  I had made some permission changes with some of my user accounts after being unable to edit/delete some files and i assume that is what caused my connection issues.  I ended up doing a clean install of my os and now everything is running smooth. 

 

Most of the times, I do try and sbyp, but in my case, it was an issue beyond the forums.  Thanks for reading.

Eddie has stopped

Eddie has stopped working on my Mac OSX 10.10.9 after happily working for the past 6 months. Connects drops, tries to reconnect but cannot.

You might try using Viscosity (costs US$9) or Tunnelblick (free) and see if they work when Eddie won't. There's no guarantee you have ther same issue I have, but it's worth a try.

 

Yesterday I updated to 10.11.3 and Eddie seems to be working fine so far.

 

I've only been using Eddie for a couple of weeks now, and this disconnect problem has happened twice, both times for a couple of hours, then it worked again. In the meantime, I was able to use Viscosity. Still, I like Eddie better so I'm going to keep using it and hope it doesn't happen again.
