Hi everbody,

 

I wanna use VPN over TOR but there is no Internet traffic after successfully VPN connection. Besides VPN connection disconnects almost after 1 minute because of TCP connection timeout.

 

I've configured proxies from Advanced section of NetworkManager and I'm using SOCKS protocol as proxy type.

 

I'm using Linux OS and NetworkManager to manage my network interfaces and VPN connections. My OpenVPN version is 2.3.0.

 

I've already read this manuel but I couldn't find any solution. Is there any suggestion to overcome this problem?

https://airvpn.org/tor/

 

Solution:

- Use Eddie client,

- Enable control port and cookie authentication in your torrc file as described at this URL https://airvpn.org/tor/

- Set Tor as connection mode in AirVPN -> Preferences, don't use TCP + Socks Proxy as me (my first mistake)

- Be careful with the port numbers; because default port numbers in manuel and Eddie client are respectively 9150 and 9151 but in my torrc file they are 9050, 9051 and it's very easy to overlook for example my situation. (my second mistake)

- You can export ovpn configuration file which is special for "VPN over TOR" from Eddie client, so you can use that file to connect VPN from command line using openvpn command. For me it's more easy than using Eddie client.

You should paste them here, if the Tor option doesn't work for some reason.

Note that the Tor daemon should be running in the background in order for this

to work.

 

Just to be clear, no one can read your logs without you posting them.

This would defeat the whole purpose of the service

Here is my configuration and logs.

 

Eddie » Preferences

Generel tab is as usual.

Protocol TCP port 443 is selected.

Proxy type is Socks, Host is localhost, Port is 9050, Authentication is none.

Routers & Advanced section are as usual.

TOR service is active and running.

 

I'm choosing any server from NL.

 

It seems problem is due to "checking route" but I'm not sure. I've tried to uncheck the option of "if the tunnel effectively works" but it didn't work.

By the way I can't ping DNS server of AirVPN

 

ping 10.5.0.1
PING 10.5.0.1 (10.5.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
^C
--- 10.5.0.1 ping statistics ---
15 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 14006ms
 

 

 

so what is the problem?

Does your Tor connection works normal, without the VPN? Seems like there is an issue with it.

The route checking step should not take longer than a few seconds.

Can you try to connect without Tor, just for the troubleshooting stage?

If you want to use an OpenVPN version <2.3.4, you need to define PreferSOCKSNoAuth in your torrc TOR configuration file. For example:

SOCKSPort 127.0.0.1:9150 PreferSOCKSNoAuth

You state your version of openvpn is 2.3.0 which is less than 2.3.4.

 

I do not know if this is the real problem or not.

Hello,

 

this is an incorrect setting that causes the "infinite routing loop problem". See for example here http://tor.stackexchange.com/questions/1232/me-tor-vpn-how

 

You need a different approach. For example our free and open source client determines the Tor guards IP addresses and set proper routes to prevent an infinite routing loop. Otherwise you will necessarily need a middle-box (for example a VM).

 

Kind regards

@zhang888

 

Yes, TOR connection works normal, I can use TOR as a Sockcs proxy for my browser. I can connect to VPN server without TOR, there is no problem without TOR.

 

@LastChance

 

I had used to connect NetworkManager via GUI or OpenVPN client via command line when I posted my first message. But after zhang888's reply I used Eddie client but nothing was changed. It didn't work. By the way option of PreferSOCKSNoAuth has been already defined in my torrc file.

 

@Staff

 

As you see my answer to @LastChance I'd used NetworkManager or OpenVPN cli client when I posted my first message. Then I used Eddie client at my second attempt but nothing was changed. The above logs are from Eddie client. So neither Eddie client nor the other methods worked for my situation. I couldn't figure out the problem.
