ANSWERED Somethings Not Working

[SUPER_FRESH 0]

I'm running Arch Linux and when I connect to a server with openvpn, traffic will not go through. I've pinged airvpn.org and nothing will go through, but when I ping its IP, it will work. I've tried changing the settings on my router, and changing from UPD to TCP and ports, but still nothing will work.

Check if /etc/resolv.conf has 10.4.0.1 as nameserver.

I've added 10.4.0.1 to my resolv.conf, but it didn't change anything

 

# Generated by resolvconf
nameserver 75.75.75.75
nameserver 75.75.76.76
nameserver 10.4.0.1

I've added 10.4.0.1 to my resolv.conf, but it didn't change anything

 

# Generated by resolvconf

nameserver 75.75.75.75

nameserver 75.75.76.76

nameserver 10.4.0.1

 

Try commenting these lines:

#nameserver 75.75.75.75

#nameserver 75.75.76.76

nameserver 10.4.0.1

Well that did something, but it's still not working. I think there's a problem with my DNS settings.

Hello!

 

Have you turned off IPv6?

[pr1v 36]

Did you also use -netlock command in the terminal?

 

First you must use your own dns servers, the change to 10.4.0.1 is only if and after you execute airvpn in the terminal and it doesn't change your nameservers. Try with opendns 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220

If you can't connect (use netlock in the terminal too) then check your /etc/resolv.conf and if 10.4.0.1 is not there, then it's when you must change to 10.4.0.1 and delete the rest. And then inmediately try if it connects.

My vpn is finally working, I went over the resolv.conf page on Arch Linux wiki and it recommended to add some DNS servers in my resolv. I get great speeds, but I can only connect using TCP not UDP which is very odd, just something else to fix.
