ANSWERED Checking route IPv6 failed: cannot connect to VPN server using Eddie

[IndigoGoat 0]

Since yesterday I cannot connect to the AirVPN servers using the Eddie client anymore. It used to work just fine, but now when I try to connect to a recommended server, it will flush the DNS, check IPv4 routes and finally check IPv6 routes and then the connection is cancelled. I get a pop-up message (notification) saying "Checking route IPv6 failed" and then I am disconnected. Eddie automatically tries to reconnect to the next server then, but that also failed. I have waited for about 5 retries, and also tried manually selecting servers from different countries. Still I cannot connect.

 

I just updated my Eddie client to version 2.16.3. My OS is Linux Mint 18.

I am now connected using openvpn from the command line: sudo openvpn AirVPN_UDP-443.ovpn still works. Any idea how I can get the Eddie client to connect again? Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!

Also, please let me know if I can provide more information that you might need to help.

Same problem here with Mint 17.3 (I don’t use Mint 18).

 

Version 2.15.2 started to play up, installed 2.16.3 but this is even worse. I'm caught in an endless loop of IPV6 resetting.

 

I’ve got a different machine running Mint 19; version 2.15.2 works perfectly and connects straight away to a recommended server with IPV4.

 

Any suggestions for Mint 17 and 18 settings would be helpful. Please.

 

Thanks

Same issue on windows 10 for me I was able to solve/bypass the issue by changing 'networking' settings to;

 

 

Layer IPv4: Inside tunnel (must be supported)

Layer IPv6: Block

Internet protocol used for connection: IPv4, IPv6

Same here. Linux Mint 18.3 ... tried installing 3 latest eddie versions. Tried selecting servers in a few countries .... stuck in a 'disconnect then try next server' repeat forever. Does anyone know how to fix this svp?

Sorted on first attempt.

 

I assumed that I'd only need IPv4 for "Internet Protocol ufc" whilst blocking Layer IPv6.

 

Many thanks for your input.

Ah yes thanks guys ... I didn’t read Cato's post thoroughly and 3tigerlillies gave me a nudge ... saw Windows 10 and moved on ... my mistake. I thought it was some windows setting. In the eddie client under Networking I just had to change the 2nd one to 'Layer IPv6: Block' ... presto ... works fine .... many thanks!

Ah, I see now! That solved it. Thank you very much. 

 

I had been playing a bit with the networking settings with IPv4 and IPv6. I had already figured it had something to do with that but didn't quite find the right solution. Now it works again!

I'm also having trouble the last few weeks using Eddie 2.16.3 on Windows 7.  Removed Eddie and TAP and reinstalled fresh, but it won't connect to US servers and routes me to Canadian servers.  Tech support has looked at my logs and something is causing curl to not connect initially.  No antivirus and nothing installed on this computer in the last year.

 

I have Inside Tunnel (must be supported), IPv6 Block and IPv4 only in Preferences/Networking.  Using Ipv6/IPv6 causes lots of cycling among servers trying to connect, using only IPv4 seems to make it settle on a connection sooner.

 

I see several others in forum posts have problems too connecting.

Hi guys,

 

Works on my PC just fine as normal. Just installed on laptop, as unable to access PC as I'm bedridden. And have the same problems as above.

The above didn't generally help me, although I could connect Eddie to a server, it said network blocked when I tried accessing the net.

If the above doesn't help anyone else, try the following:

 

Preferences>Networking:

Layer ipv4: inside tunnel must be supported.

Switch to block ticked on.

Layer ipv6 blocked.

switch to block switched on and ticked.

Internet protocol used: ipv4 only (this I had to change, and different from previous posts). 

Interface for connection: Automatic. 

 

Hope that helps others in similar circumstances.
