softrock 0 Posted ... Hi, I've had great experiences with AirVPN so far, but have recently moved house, and from the TalkTalk ISP to the BT Broadband ISP, where AirVPN responds very strangely. The hardware I'm using is the same as I used previously. Whether I connect through the software of through OpenVPN, I get one of two random outcomes. Either all HTTP traffic will be completely blocked until I disconnect from the service, or everything will function as if I'm not connected at all, with my IP resolving to my ISP. After searching the forum (and google) for help, I discovered that BT Broadband operate a DNS re-routing system, which can be disabled. http://preferences.webaddresshelp.bt.com/selfcare/ Disabling this does change the DNS errors I receive, but doesn't change the behavior of the VPN. After several days of fiddling around with DNS settings, I haven't found a suitable fix :{ Quote Share this post Link to post

My account runs out in 4 days, so unless someone can figure something out, I'll obviously have to try another VPN service, to see if I can get that running instead :{ I've phoned BT and had my issue looked into by their dedicated IT (not helpline) staff. They told me there's nothing abnormal about my connection, and VPN services should function properly. They suggested changing from their DNS servers to 3rd party DNS servers. I've since switched to Open DNS, but this makes no difference : connecting to Air VPN either through the client or through OpenVPN gives me either no internet access at all, or a standard BT connection, where my IP resolves to my BT IP, and my DNS requests still go to through Open DNS.

softrock 0 Posted ... By giving administrator privielages to openvpn.exe and connecting through the Openvpn GUI, I managed to get a connection to Omicron on TCP Port 53. The IP seemed to match the Omicron IP, and DNSLeaks showed I was using 2 german DNS servers, and a UK Open DNS server. The bad news is that this was one successful attempt after 7 or 8 tries. All the other attempts showed that I had successfuly connected to an AirVPN server, but I appeared to have no internet access.

Try the following:- connect to a TCP port (like you did with Omicron)- open your browser and browse to http://46.105.19.36 and http://airvpn.org (alternatively, ping or dig different IP addresses and domain names).If you can see that you can reach hosts without DNS resolution (that is, pointing directly to their IP address), but not pointing to their name, then you have a DNS push problem, which may happen sometimes on Windows systems. In this case, force the system to use our DNS as primary ("preferred", in Win7 idiom) and you favorite DNS as secondary ("alternate"). In order to determine the IP address of our DNS according to the port you connect to, please see here:https://airvpn.org/specsFor example, DNS for clients in VPN port 53 TCP is 10.9.0.1.Kind regards Quote Share this post Link to post
softrock 0 Posted ... After much testing, port 53 TCP is the only port I can connect though. Pointing my "preferred" DNS to 10.9.0.1 (AirVPN) and my "alternative" to Open DNS and running a test on dnsleaktest.com shows 6 results, all Google DNS servers located in the US and Germany beginning 74.125.xxx.xxx.

Staff 9972 Posted ... After much testing, port 53 TCP is the only port I can connect though.Hello!That's odd, we will keep you informed if we receive similar reports from British Telecom customers. Thank you for the information. Also, please make sure that a firewall (on your computer or router) is not blocking ports. Also antivirus programs have sometimes been reported to act weirdly with OpenVPN. Anyway, please note that from the previous logs it appears that you can also connect to Lyra port 443 UDP just fine.Pointing my "preferred" DNS to 10.9.0.1 (AirVPN) and my "alternative" to Open DNS and running a test on dnsleaktest.com shows 6 results, all Google DNS servers located in the US and Germany beginning 74.125.xxx.xxx.The Google results are fine. If you don't see any OpenDNS DNS, then you have no DNS leak. This does not mean that DNS leaks (i.e. DNS queries unencrypted going to OpenDNS) may not happen in the future, if you use Windows. In the forum you'll find several ways to prevent DNS leaks for Windows.Is this correct and secure?

softrock 0 Posted ... Why should your speed be halved on port 53 TCP? I thought a TCP connection was slower than a UDP connection? It's certainly slower than my previous ISP connection (through port 443 UDP on the same hardware and line) was. It's about half of my maximum speed. I don't mind, though. The connection you've helped me get is good enough, and I'll be re-subscribing for a long time to come. Thank you very much for the help. Quote Share this post Link to post

At your convenience do not hesitate to contact us, because chances are that the problem lies in your device or OS, not in BT. It will be interesting that you test out new servers when they are available (soon).

bigfish9 0 Posted ... Hello, thank you very much for the report. Have you also tried port 53 UDP? Kind regardsHi Sorry for the delay in replying but I cannot access AirVPN servers at all using UDP port 53. I have Comodo installed, but have tried disabling the firewall too - made no difference. I use OpenDNS as my DNS server but I cannot imagine that should cause any detriment. In the meantime, I continue to use TCP 443 - my working connection however to AirVPN seems to be 'capped' (I assume it's capped as there is never really much change) at about 1.5MB/s. My broadband connection is about 60Mbps. Speedtest to AirVPN is about 15Mbps. I suspect this is an issue with BT's network. I know they are no keen on home/residential users using VPN. I have tried all the config generator options except for SSH/SSL, which I have not had the motivation yet to try out (speed is not too bad for me at present). Where it does connect, then it's really sporadic except for TCP 443, which whilst not really fast is at least consistent. Saying, when/if BT block the TCP443 connection, I better have a backup anyway I suppose! Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post

I've tried all the different UDP ports with/without alternative entry and whilst they do connect - speed is sporadic but always below a usable level. As BT do not really do technical support, it would seem we have to use TCP to connect... Hello! It's worth that you try OpenVPN over SSH, and OpenVPN over SSL. https://airvpn.org/sshhttps://airvpn.org/ssl Kind regardsHello I have managed to get SSL and SSH working (although only on port 22 for SSH) and the connection is significantly faster. Thank you. Quote Share this post Link to post
Staff 9972 Posted ... ardsHello I have managed to get SSL and SSH working (although only on port 22 for SSH) and the connection is significantly faster. Thank you. Hello! Excellent. Additionally, you might like to contact BT customer service. Several months ago they had major issues with OpenVPN when they implemented some new system, but then they claimed they solved all the problems. Actually we have had BT customers that had problems at the beginning, but then BT managed to solve their problems. It's worth that you contact them because anyway you can get higher performance with direct OpenVPN connections over UDP than OpenVPN over SSH. Kind regards Quote Share this post Link to post
