I just upgraded Windows 10 Pro to version 1903.  

My other PC is still connected.  It seems to be an issue with new connections.  Curl.exe fails to authenticate the IPV4 route.  Bad certificate?  I didn't see anywhere to upgrade the certificates, I assumed Eddie did that automatically.

I was previously running OpenVPN without Eddie.  I decided to try it out.  Is anyone able to connect to servers via OpenVPN without the Eddie interface?

Anyone experience with expressvpn vs nordvpn? I vaguely remember reading problems with expressvpn but i may be wrong. Definitely the priciest.

In the log files I found one line specifically that is causing me disconnects that I've never seen before:

I did go to the website and tried downloading a newer .prem bundle and tried replacing the CA Cert in the directory, tried adding them both, but still getting disconnects.

At this point I don't want to make the problem worse by throwing any google solution at it I can find, any help appreciated!

OS is Win 7 64-bit, nothing has changed since I used it in the last 24 hours, it just stopped working when I tried connecting this afternoon.

same issue here - I thought it was my old eddie client, so I updated, was on 2.15.xx, same issue both versions.

I've used Torguard but it doesn't let you open up ports.

So the issue is with Eddie.

Install OpenVPN:
https://openvpn.net/community-downloads/

Use the AirVPN config generator to create config files and save those under program files/OpenVPN/config.  

After launching OpenVPN you will be able to right click and connect to the server of your choice.  

[Anonymousvpnuser1 3]

OpenVPN is a third party program?

[eewshvpn 0]

Same here. Latest Eddie, Windows 10. All servers fail.

IPv4 checking route failed
SSL certificate problem: certificate has expired

[serenacat 83]

Pity that the SSL cert seems to have expired at 0000UTC, not good for support from Europe. Worse chances on a Sunday morning.
Maybe not easily detected on the server, datacentre end. But a Eddie client watchdog robot could exist to bark an alert ?
 

[Anonymousvpnuser1 3]

Yeah i do have to say i am not pleased with the response. Or rather lack thereof.

[caseyjp1 2]

The issue is with eddie. If you use the config generator and openvpn, it will work normally.

[ps73 4]

Root cause of this issue appears to be an expired certificate.  If you reset your system time to yesterday (I went back a week, so that my day of week will still be correct) or earlier, then I believe you should be able to connect.  It works for me.

And while I do work in support, I do not work for AirVPN support, so do not take this as an official answer from them.

Just to clarify, going forward I will need to use OpenVPN client instead of Eddie? There is literally no fix for AirVPN's client Eddie to fix the issue to continue using it?

Not that I care much which client I use, but it seems odd that it would just suddenly break over night, and not be recoverable again.

I appreciate the help!

[madrat 19]

Just curious if all those having problems are running Windows? I'm on a Mac and have no problems.

[AiKiXeN 0]

Windows 10 for me. So far, only the Los Angeles servers work for me. I usually connect to Dallas, ATL and Chicago...none of those work right now.

[harbingerzjc 0]

I'm on windows and have the problem. I suspect the problem came with a recent windows update, since some have reported they were able to reconnect by reverting to a previous day/version

[keikari 9]

I have same problem using linux.

[wanderingme 1]

Same issue on Mac OSX.

[jomamabasestar 1]

I don't think the OS matters.

This is not reverting to a previous configuration or version, just setting the time back.  The issue is that a certificate on a server expired (about 3 hours ago, I suspect).  By setting the clock back, your computer will see the certificate's expiration date, compare it to the computer's clock, and decide that it hasn't expired yet.
