Pick VPN servers

[annarstarnes 0]

This exact thing happened to me today as well. It's very off-putting to leave my desk connected to one server and then come back connected to another one. My concern is primarily around the handoff from one connection to another, as I would think that there would be a second or two where my IP would be exposed within the swarm while I'm off of one server and not yet on the other one (I'm using this for bitorrent, obviously). Is this expected behavior, or is it abnormal, and is there anything I can do to prevent it on my end?

 

I am admittedly a little bit of an amateur, so if I've misspoken in any respect, please take it easy on me :-) I love the service and just want to feel as safe as possible.

Hello!

 

1) Enable "Network Lock" to prevent leaks in case of unexpected VPN disconnection and any other case.

 

2) You can tell the Air client Eddie to connect always to a selected pool of VPN servers by defining a white list. Eddie will connect only to servers included in the white list when it is defined. You can also tell Eddie to try to re-connect always to the same VPN server by ticking "Lock current".

 

Kind regards
