Hello,
download of windows portable version for 2.19.3 is not available.
Will you release it soon or you will relase directly the 2.19.4 version?

Fixed, sorry.

So I tried beta 2.19.4 - same error message..
disabled Gatekeeper completely, still same problem even after restart.

*edit* since the update of macOS 10.15.6 I can run the latest beta! *thumbsup*
love Hummingbird - thanks for your work

*edit2* I saw Eddie 2.19.4 still uses Hummingbird 1.0.3 - while 1.1.0 is already out. Any specific reason for this?
I was troubled with some connection errors after a while, so I copied v1.1.0 to /usr/local/bin and defined that path to Eddie, which works in this version.

Win10 Home 64bit. Wanted to check out the beta with Wintun. Uninstalled 2.18.9, deleted associated directories/folders and cleaned the registry. Installed 2.19.4. Went in and checked to use Wintun in Preferences/Advanced. It remained checked. Got to thinking, is Wintun really being used? The Uninstall Wintun button on the Advanced window was greyed out. Hmm. Read the "How to use wintun driver in Windows" forum article. Okay. Downloaded the tech preview with Wintun driver and chose only to install the Wintun driver. It installed. Confirmed by finding it in Device Manager as well as the Uninstall Wintun Driver button in the Eddie Advanced window was no longer greyed out. Restarted the PC. Wintun was stilled checked in the Advanced window. Figured all is good until I went into the PC's Adapter Options to find Eddie only using the TAP driver. The Wintun adapter was there with a red X not being used. Tried a few things, but could never get Eddie to go active with Wintun driver. So... uninstalled the Wintun driver and uninstalled Eddie beta and went back to 2.18.9.

So, consider a non-techy person using AirVPN with Eddie who goes in and checks the Wintun driver option thinking all is good. Yet, the Wintun driver is not installed when Eddie beta is installed, yet it can be checked in the Advanced window and remains checked.

Hello!

Wintun driver can only be used by OpenVPN 2.5 with the proper directive. Make sure you have installed OpenVPN 2.5 and configure Eddie to run OpenVPN 2.5 and enforce windows-driver wintun directive, according to the very same instructions you mention.

Kind regards

Hi,

I'm running Eddie 2.19.3 beta on Windows 10 64 bit. All seems to be good, except after some amount of time the speed display becomes frozen in both the Overview display panel and the Speed display panel. Restarting Eddie makes it work again, but it always freezes later. Apart from the frozen speed display, Eddie seems to run fine. This was also happening in 2.19.2. I can supply logs if needed.

Yes thanks, if it is reproducible, enable in Preferences -> Logs both 'Log Debug' and 'Log on File'. Here or open a ticket if you prefer, thanks.

I'm now running Eddie 2.19.4 and the problem reappeared. I'm not sure when the status display froze so I am enclosing logs for the last several days, going back to my most recent server connection.

One minor change please - can the tooltip on the systray icon show the connection status ("Connecting to...") like previous versions, rather than the UL/DL speed. It saves me opening the GUI while I wait impatiently for it to connect at startup.

This was an already resolved bug, does it still occur in 2.19.3?

I have skipped to 2.19.4, can confirm fixed - thanks.

I was running beta 2.19.4 for the last 24h - there seems to be a problem with disconnects happening. At first I thought it was Hummingbird - happily used 1.1.0 until I noticed every hour a reset - but since that I've switched back to OVPN 2.4.9 there is a disconnect every few minutes..

I'm back on beta 2.19.2 for now

*edit* same thing happens now on 2.19.2 - I don't get it.. Is this a server-side issue?
*edit2* doesn't seem sever-side related - it stopped for now - strange world

Haven't seen it mentioned yet (I think).. Latest macOS Catalina with beta 4 here, Eddie itself is running great as usual but It seems to be somehow messing with the Mac's 'Hide' function. If I hide Eddie, it does something weird where all of the other apps that are open think they're already hidden. All the other open apps have 'Hide Appname' greyed out and its unselectable. The only option is 'Show All'. You have to click 'Show All' for it to start working right again. After that I can hide my other open apps, but Eddie will then have 'Hide Eddie' greyed out and only 'Show All' as an option. Ive just been closing the Eddie window and leaving it for now, but occasionally when I hide an app, Eddie will pop back up and stick on the screen until you 'fix' everything again or just close the window. For a while it worked perfect finally, but now its back to where if you select 'Hide Main Window' in the taskbar menu, it doesn't hide it, it minimizes the open window to the right side of the dock. Its not affection the functionality though, that part is still rock solid hehe!

Eddie_64 2.19.4 Portable works fine on Manjaro Plasma and EndeavourOS Plasma

*edit2* I saw Eddie 2.19.4 still uses Hummingbird 1.0.3 - while 1.1.0 is already out. Any specific reason for this?
I was troubled with some connection errors after a while, so I copied v1.1.0 to /usr/local/bin and defined that path to Eddie, which works in this version.

How did you do that (define the path to Eddie)? The only way I could make Eddie (gui version, 2.19.4) use Hummingbird v1.1.0 was to replace the unix executable in Eddie-->Contents-->MacOS with 1.1.0, but then I had to resign Eddie with an adhoc codesign to make the app work. I don't like doing that (unintended consequences, etc.). Your way is much cleaner.

In case you have not found the solution;
In Eddie's Settings -> Advanced -> Use Hummingbird [check]
on the right side next to it, there is a path field (only on 2.19.4) free to paste the path of Hummingbird

Bingo! I didn't know what that field was for (he said, dumbly). At first I got the old not-owned-by-root error, but sudo chown root:wheel took care of that. Hummingbird 1.1.0 is now happily humming in Eddie 2.19.4. Thank you very much.

I think I'm missing something obvious, so I'm hoping someone can help me out.

I'm running Windows 10 Pro x64, and I only use the portable Eddies.

I downloaded and ran Eddie 2.19.4. It works just fine when it's using TAP, but refuses to use my wintun adapter.

Story time:
First, I already use v2.18.9 with wintun and it works just fine. Though, to get it to work, I had to roll my own wintun driver (used 0.8.1 files), and it'd only work with the OpenVPN 2.5 x86 files.
When 2.19.4 with wintun didn't work right away, I downloaded and tried files from both OpenVPN-2.5-rc2-I601-amd64 and x86. Didn't work, and I keep getting this error:

. 2020.10.02 11:15:44 - OpenVPN > 2020-10-02 11:15:44 open_tun
. 2020.10.02 11:15:44 - OpenVPN > 2020-10-02 11:15:44 ERROR: Wintun requires SYSTEM privileges and therefore should be used with interactive service. If you want to use openvpn from command line, you need to do SYSTEM elevation yourself (for example with psexec).

Never seen it before. Never had to use psexec before either (only ever needed putty). So a bit lost. I tried installing OpenVPN hoping it meant I needed the OpenVPN services running, but no, same issue.

Feels like I'm missing something simple. Am I using the wrong OpenVPN 2.5 files or missing some setting/config?

There are reports of the same issue here, but it doesn't look like it's been resolved. However, I previously had wintun working fine using these instructions, so maybe you need to revert back to a previous version of either wintun or Eddie. I went back to TAP as wintun gave me no throughput benefit and took longer to connect.

Hey thanks man. I feel like I should've remembered that How-to existed.
Yeah, Clodo says it's a known incompatibility. It should be fixed in the next beta release, but it won't be released yet because they're investigating some priority stuff for that release. Makes sense, and I can wait since 2.18.9 works perfectly.

Yup, I still use 2.18.9 mainly.
Months ago, I followed the wintun instructions and it worked once, but I think I might have messed up my wintin driver or something. I had to do everything all over on my own. The wintun drivers aren't finished after all so bugs are expected.

Yeah the throughput benefit is weird. I seen/read some mixed results. However, I've tested for a few months and I can say for sure it does work.

I'll find a reliable Air server (Eddie 2.19.4 seems really good at finding great servers for me :dunno:

), and run tests with multiple sites. testmy.net, dslreports.com, and fast.com, are my main sites. If my ISP isn't being a problem, I'll see an average of +20% when using wintun. Though, it will fluctuate during high traffic times, but it's kinda hard to tell if the issue is with Air or my ISP. Long work hours and general priorities keep me from figuring that out anytime soon.

Oh, and the advantage pretty much disappears if you're using SSH/SSL over TCP. Though my connection is under 100mbps so I don't know for sure.

any news on 2.19.5? As wintun is currently not working anymore with 2.19.4

Monotremata

Cant wait to try it here either. I get kernel panics on my Mac with the network lock when I use it with Little Snitch so Im hoping .5 'fixes' whatever Apple has done in Big Sur hehe.. Seems to connect fine, but the minute the network lock is on BOOM.

Which OS are you using?. I am using Windows 10 v2004 + October update and AirVPN v2.19.4 and the Wintun driver is working just fine for me.

Problem is it doesn't work with newer versions of the 2.5.0 openvpn ; has been clarified by the dev it is only working with some betas

On 10/5/2020 at 7:44 PM, Clodo said:

The problem with OpenVPN2.5 rc2 (or rc1, or beta5) with Eddie is caused by recent changes in OpenVPN that produce a compatibility issue.
Please be patient, both errors above ("Object reference not set to an instance of an object." and "ERROR: Wintun requires SYSTEM privilege") will be fixed in the next Eddie release, please wait.
We plan to release version 2.19.5 in a few days, and another one (or maybe the same) in bundle with OpenVPN 2.5 STABLE when a stable version is released.

Aha, thanks for that, I visited yesterday as SUMO told me there was an OpenVPN 2.5.0 update and wanted to know if it was okay to install it. Glad I didn't now and will just wait for AirVPN v2.19.5

Eddie_64 2.19.5 Portable works fine on Manjaro Plasma but is resetting option 'Don't ask elevation every run' after closing.

amateur25

The Windows 7/8 64 bit version of Eddie 2.19.5 is still using OVPN version 2.4.8.0. I discovered it after the wintun option didn't work.

cambell

updating to new beta gave me an elevated prompted. After that the progam could not open, so i can not post any logs.
