network lock question

[whiskey_76 6]

I always use network lock when I'm using airvpn, which is pretty much anytime im online on my computer. I always wondered what exactly it does to the firewall rules, and how stateful it is? I am still only slighly more than a beginner in linux, and I know in basic terms it adjusts the iptables rules to make traffic only go to through the client. What else does it do?

Hello!

 

I take it you haven't read this then?

The Experimental client does things differently - you can check my guide if you want to read more.

The experimental version only does things differently for Windows, right?

 

The OP is using linux.

What else does it do?

 

What do you think is it supposed to do? It adds IPTables rules.

I have a couple of queries about Eddie - I've tried searching, but can't seem to find an answer (I'm sure they have been answered, I jsut too think to work out the right question, I think).

How can I tell if I am connected UDP or TCP?

Also, if the vpn disconnects from, say, a server in the UK, is there anyway to ensure that it reconnects only to a server in the UK? [Am I right the network lock might do this?]

Thanks for your time.

I'm using ubuntu 16.04.1 and Eddie 2.11.5

A lot of information can be gleaned from the logs and protocol areas.

 

You can whitelist servers you prefer, as well as enable an option to reconnect to the same server, in the preferences menus. You can read about Network Lock in my guide if you wish:)
