LZ1 672 Posted ... Hello! Welcome to AirVPN . You normally have to cancel a connection first and then a button to activate network lock will appear. Otherwise just like when you first open the program and can click "connect to recommended server", there's a button which allows you to activate network lock first. Feel free to check out my new user guide too, if you wish. Sent to you from me with datalove Quote Hide LZ1's signature Hide all signatures Hi there, are you new to AirVPN?

jonesytv 1 Posted ... You are correct! I am new and duh, right on the login screen, there is the lock.So, I am now locked. Thank you.Now, if I can get my android phone to work with airvpn, I'll keep the service!Have a good day. Quote Share this post Link to post
LZ1 672 Posted ... That's great . Sadly, Air hasn't developed an Eddie client for Android or mobile devices yet. So for it to work, you need to download another program of your choosing, such as OpenVPN for Android and then go to the configuration generator in the client area here, tick a few boxes and download a file unto your mobile device. Then use the aforementioned program to open the file and you should be good to go . If the connection keeps dropping or getting errors, you can try downloading the TCP version. Anyway, we'll be here if you need further help. Good luck Sent to you from me with datalove Quote Hide LZ1's signature Hide all signatures Hi there, are you new to AirVPN?

me.moo@posteo.me 80 Posted ... The 'OpenVPN Connect' application has a seamless mode (network lock) feature which appears to work pretty well. I don't know if others have anything similar. Quote Share this post Link to post

OpenSourcerer 1435 Posted ... The 'OpenVPN Connect' application has a seamless mode (network lock) feature which appears to work pretty well. I don't know if others have anything similar. Schwabe's OpenVPN for Android has it as well, just written in descriptive words - persistent tun device. Since this is what makes the tunnel seamless.

zhang888 1066 Posted ... This is a pure matter of choice as both apps are equally good to work with AirVPN settings.Note that if you want a FOSS client which is available on F-Droid, you have to go with "OpenVPN for Android".Also, sometimes the author introduces features and workarounds that do not land upstream, but that maylead to potential bugs and issues, so should be considered more experimental.

OpenSourcerer 1435 Posted ... I went with what Air recommended, as their values align with my own. Sorry, but what exactly did they recommend? And where? Mr. jonesytv, I'd go with OpenVPN for Android out of two reasons: It's 100% open source and it's very feature-rich. The workarounds mentioned by zhang are the result of many years of error reports. Their explanation is fully included into the app's FAQ section. They're there for your own good. There's absolutely nothing experimental in Arne Schwabe's way of programming.
