Connection established but no Internet / Mint 18.1

Hi!

 

I'm new user of VPN's. Yesterday I bought premium and I have problem with connection. Tried to connect to VPN via network manager (followed these instructions https://airvpn.org/topic/11432-using-airvpn-with-ubuntu-network-manager/). Everything seems fine, network manager is connecting to VPN (status connected) but when I run browser there's no Internet, can't access any page, can't ping anything. Any solutions? I'm using latest build Linux Mint 18.1 with Cinnamon, system is updated and upgraded. I think I downloaded and installed every necessary package. ISP isn't blocking these connection because when I run OpenVPN on my Android device, using same WiFi, everything runs flawlessy.

probably a DNS problem.  can you ping an IP  - 8.8.8.8  ?

 

Also, any reason why you aren't using the AirVPN software (Eddie)?

No, I can't:

 

mati@R2 ~ $ ping 8.8.8.8

PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data.

^C

I want to use network manager, because that's still one app less on my computer and I wanted to share VPN connection for every user. Do you really recommend using Eddie?

Hello!

 

I strongly recommend trying Eddie. It's a great piece of software and just an OpenVPN wrapper anyway. I don't understand why you wouldn't be able to share your VPN connection. I use Mint too and I can easily create a WiFi Hotspot while Eddie is on, so that any other devices can connect .

Should work via the network settings.But also you can use Eddie stand-alone,so just extract in a dir and start the vpn by clicking airvpn (program)

​Next you can make a link to the desktop.

if you share your internet with linux mint then the devices you share with will have the benefit of the vpn also , or am I wrong

You're not wrong. Besides, you could always check ipleak.net on whichever device it is.
