Error 403 - Forbidden

[Trikstajl 0]

Hello everyone, new user here.

 

I have issues with AirVPN Client for Windows 7, 64bit. The installer finishes smoothly, then I try to run the application and right as I click login I get a "Cannot login - forbidden 403" error (see image attached).

 

I tried forcing admin privileges, adding an exception to the Windows Firefall as well as ESET anti-virus. No luck. Perhaps I should try the other two applications since this one persists? Did i foresee something important?

 

Edit: Here's the recent log for your convenience.

Edit2: Ok, after I researched a bit I realized I was missing a TAP driver, so I installed one from the OpenVPN package, and now I have a similar error.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello!

 

Please try to delete this file:

C:\Users\**********\AppData\Local\AirVPN\AirVPN.xml

 

It could be corrupt. Delete it while Eddie is not running and with administrator privileges. You will lose all settings so you will need to re-enter username and password.

 

Another plausible cause is that something is blocking Eddie packets: please check your firewall.

 

Kind regards

Hi and thanks for the quick reply. However, I was unable to make it work. 

 

I deleted the *.xml file and retried with no luck (the app is set to run in admin mode). I reestablished rules to allow AirVPN through firewall and still the problem persists. 

 

Please note that OpenVPN is working like a charm.
