Network Lock + VPN Over Tor On Linux = Chicken Before Egg Problem

[Zensen 2]

Here's the simple problem that I don't know how to fix. I'm trying to use VPN over Tor (User -> Tor -> VPN -> Net). It works fine but I also don't want any traffic to leak so I need to use the network lock. If I activate the network lock, Tor can't connect to the Tor network. That means the AirVPN software can't connect to the VPN service because it needs to route through Tor first and that can't happen because the network lock prevents Tor from establishing a circuit.

 

What to do?

This is already addressed here. Network Lock uses firewall rules to keep traffic inside the VPN tunnel which is only possible if you are connected to Air servers first at the moment.
