Is this correct? (Using Viscosity)

Recommended Posts

I just signed up for AirVPN today, and since I'm new to this, wanted to ask if I was doing this right? I do get a message saying I am connected, but i am not sure whether there are some other settings I should tweak as well.

I have the files for the Artieris and Vega servers, and I imported them from file. I didn't mess with any other settings.

I did also add a simple AppleScript to terminate my torrent program in the case my VPN connection is dropped.

I've attached a few screenshots of my settings. Is this correct? Thanks in advance guys!

This is the log after connecting to Arietis:

Hello!

Thank you for your subscription.

In order to check whether you're connected or not to one of our servers, browse to our website and look at the central bottom box. If it's green you're connected, if it's red you're not (unless you use a proxy over OpenVPN).

About the screenshot, please check the key filename and the client certificate filename. By defauly your key is named "user.key" by our configuration generator, while on the screenshot we can see that you put in the name "key.key". Please make sure that you have renamed it properly or fix the name to the correct one. The very same applies to your client certificate, which by default is "user.crt" while on your configuration is defined as "cert.crt".

Kind regards

so i read what you posted, i clicked on "clear" next to the Key file and re-selected the "user.key" file generated from AirVPN. after i confirm the selection and close the window, and then go back to it, the file in the box says "key.key" again. but, it seems that i do connect okay (bottom center box on AirVPN says i'm connected, Viscosity window says my IP address changed, etc.)

should i just ignore the file name?

Hello!

If you connect fine you can just ignore that glitch. Viscosity points OpenVPN to read for sure the correct key, otherwise our servers would not let you in.

Kind regards
