I'm getting issues on 2.18.6 while running


eddie-ui -cli -connect
basically the whole process stops at

Collect information about AirVPN completed
what's funny, if I run it w/o the -connect parameter and then trigger it with n, it will go ahead and connect to a server. I'm pretty sure it was fine in 2.18.5 beta and before.
Kali Rollin'.

So the new version doesn't change anything and the automatic connection is still stuck at the same place. As someone else mentioned adding
--pinger.enabled=False
will also help the case.
It's Kali Rollin' and it's vpn over tor (if it changes anything...).

I found an annoying bug in v.2.18.7

When the checkbox 'don't ask elevation every run' is checked it will become unchecked when you save your settings.
I have the windows service installed an it worked fine in 2.18.5. So i switched back to the older version.

Can this be fixed?

Previous discussion in this thread indicates there is a known 2.18.7 elevation issue in MS Windows if installed over an existing version. An uninstall followed by deletion of all traces before installing 2.18.7 helps. Dev is aware of the issue.

@airdev

Android app must be extensively rewritten to meet new Google requirements for Android 9 and 10. No reason to hurry as the app does everything we and our customers need. It's not written anywhere that an app that works perfectly must be "frequently updated".

About Eddie the development is slow, you are correct, but Mac and Linux users can now count on a totally different stable application which is also evolving in something more (i.e. a real daemon with frontend applications). Once completed with a GUI, even Windows development will become faster, as Eddie for Windows can be prioritized over Linux and Mac. We have invested a lot of time to fix critical bugs on OpenVPN3 library (which could not even work properly in Linux) and implement new key features. It's an investment in development time that may make the naive observer think that Air development is slow, but such investment will be repaid with high interests rate in the very near future.

Last but not least the development of OpenVPN 3-AirVPN by AirVPN has shaken OpenVPN community and symptoms that the community is waking up have appeared. If OpenVPN3 community wakes up even our fork will require less development time, obviously.

Kind regards

(full info)

Eddie version: 2.18.7 / linux_x64, System: Linux, Name: Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS \n \l, Version: Linux bunkerhill 5.5.9-050509-generic #202003120738 SMP Thu Mar 12 07:41:55 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux, Mono/.Net: 5.10.0.140 (tarball Sat Feb 24 15:30:44 UTC 2018); Framework: v4.0.30319


Running eddie-ui --cli on Ubuntu (terminal version only, I don't have a GUI)

Command line run:

 sudo ./eddie-ui --cli --connect --server=redacted --login=redacted --password="(redacted)"


Issues:
1) Upon startup, it runs up to "Collect information about AirVPN completed", where it appears to stop, or at least pause for an extremely long time.  Probably should be addressed or at least consider providing some feedback to the user, otherwise you may end up with a lot of support requests.

2) --routes.custom doesn't seem to work.  When I add --routes.custom="69.16.179.29,out;69.16.179.28,out" to my command line, there are no corresponding entries made in my routing table as shown by "ip route".


Minor issue:
The path displayed in the terminal for the profile has an extra slash: 

Profile path: /home/jeff/eddie-ui//default.profile

Thx, we will release a new version today or tomorrow, after checking this issues.

About 1), it occurs because Eddie tries to perform some latency tests (ping) to choose the best server for you.
I confirm there is a bug: the UI shows the tests progress, the CLI does not, it will be fixed.
Anyway, how many seconds is your "extremely long time"? We are thinking about enforcing some limits/timeout to reduce it.
If you use "-servers.startlast" the latency tests are skipped, Eddie connects directly to the last used server (if available). And if you whitelist servers or countries, the latency tests are performed only with whitelisted servers, reducing time.

Why is it performing a latency test at all if the --server option is specified?  Seems like that should skip it, just like --servers.startlast.

Now the latency tests have a feedback also in CLI edition, are faster (more concurrency threads), and specify a --server skip the latency test.


@rgrdgr  the bug about routes in cmdline is fixed, please retry.

@Clodo
I'm still seeing a long pause after "Collect information about AirVPN completed" in both "eddie-ui --cli" and "eddie-cli".  It's been 7 minutes and I'm getting no indication of activity.  It seems to vary a lot, however - other times it runs by quickly.

--route.custom appears to work now, thanks.

Installed portable 2.18.8 on Win10x64-1909... When connecting I get constant restarts... and this (see attached screen grab). No issues with 2.18.7.

Does't work on Debian Buster on RPi4. After installation it throws "Unable to obtain elevated privileges" error on start when called "/usr/bin/eddie-ui". If started with sudo "sudo /usr/bin/eddie-ui", then it is stuck forewer on "Raise system privileges" step.

Reverting back to stable version, until this is fixed.

I confirm this issue. It doesn't happen every time. When it happens, it's infinite and you need to manually press key N. It will be fixed soon, sorry.
