I have encountered no issues and there are no errors showing in Eddie's logs. I am seeing an average of 5 % - 10 % speed gains. I thought from what I had read I might have seen a larger speed increase but I am still happy with the improvements. The only thing negative that I see is the CPU usage of the 2.18.8 version of Eddie-UI.exe. In version 2.18.7 the CPU usage was always less than 0.5 % but with the new version I am seeing the CPU hovering around 2 %. I realize that 2 % is not a lot but it is an over 400 % increase in CPU usage over the previous version so I thought I would mention it. Other than that, the new version is running extremely well here on my system (Intel i7-7700 CPU @ 3.60GHz with 40 GB RAM). Share this post Link to post

I thought from what I had read I might have seen a larger speed increase but I am still happy with the improvements. Great to know it works as expected. I think you also manually add the directive "windows-driver wintun", in next version this will be automatic if wintun driver is detected. 15 hours ago, puff-m-d said: The only thing negative that I see is the CPU usage of the 2.18.8 version of Eddie-UI.exe.

Mizu 0 Posted ... Hey. The signatures (hashes) don't match for 2.18.8 portable or installer. Is this because it was updated without updating the hashes? I saw that some bugs were fixed without updating the build number so I wanted to be sure. Share this post Link to post

Torry 0 Posted ... The Eddie client keeps timing out every five minutes and then restarting. It's really frustrating and I don't even know why that part of the code is still in. It would be nice if that part of the code would be eliminated because it make no sense whatsoever. Share this post Link to post

Mizu 0 Posted ... Okay. I get this with installed Eddie and portable. . 2020.03.29 18:25:35 - OpenVPN > open_tun . 2020.03.29 18:25:35 - OpenVPN > Failed to register ring buffers: 87 . 2020.03.29 18:25:35 - OpenVPN > Failed to register {B14655E0-7102-43E5-AB88-87507D8F0E46} adapter ring buffers . 2020.03.29 18:25:35 - OpenVPN > All wintun adapters on this system are currently in use. . 2020.03.29 18:25:35 - OpenVPN > Exiting due to fatal error ! 2020.03.29 18:25:35 - Disconnecting I already had wintun installed from OVPN 2.5. Uninstalled it and openvpn 2.5, and only kept the openvpn.exe I needed to use with Eddie. Everything was fine until earlier today when I uninstalled the driver from Preferences > Advanced > Uninstall wintun driver. Nothing behaves right after that. I had to do a lot of uninstalling with msiexec before things got stable. Now, even when wintun (or eddie-wintun-x64) is uninstalled, it still shows up as if it is installed. . 2020.03.29 18:24:23 - Tun Driver - 0901: 9.23.3; wintun: 0.8 . 2020.03.29 18:24:23 - OpenVPN - Version: 2.5_git - OpenSSL 1.1.0l 10 Sep 2019, LZO 2.10 Also, Eddie can only create the adapter if I install wintun from ovpn2.5 beforehand. Still, I just get this "All wintun adapters on this system are currently in use" error, it disconnects and tries to reconnect in a loop. I feel like I'm missing something simple...

I personally tested 2.18.8 with rPI4-raspbian-buster without any issue (with sudo or without). I think your issue is somehow specific, so i write to you a private-message to understand and fix.

We use the original wintun packaging/deployment, and the original tunctl.exe from OpenVPN for creating adapter, but there are a lots of issues in a lots of Win version (never uninstall, fail to create adapter etc)....

Point Zero 0 Posted ... Elevation/Service IssueAfter upgrading to 2.18.8 I can no longer run without getting windows Elevation prompt every time Eddie is started.I've selected "Don't ask Elevation every run" in settings, but every time I run Eddie I get the Elevation prompt again and the option checkbox is reset in settings. Checking the service reveals it's there but not running, with Startup type set to automatic. Manually starting the service causes it to start and immediately stop.Any way to fix this? --Eddie 2.18.8 on Windows 10 Pro Share this post Link to post
