hummingbird doesn't start in MacOS

[RameshK 0]

Hello All,

Any ideas what's happening here - I had accidentally exited a running hummigbird and it will not start again, even after I use "--recover-network"

/hummingbird --ipv6 yes -P tcp ../AirVPN_United-Kingdom_UDP-443.ovpn
Hummingbird - AirVPN OpenVPN 3 Client 1.1.1 - 7 January 2020

It seems this program did not exit gracefully or has been killed.
Your system may not be working properly and your network connection may not work
as expected. To recover your network settings, run this program again and use
the "--recover-network" option.

Hello!

Please try and run Hummingbird with the option suggested by Hummingbird output you reported ("--recover-network"). If the problem does not get sorted out, enter the following commands, but please send us first the content of your /etc/airvpn directory (we would like to see why --recover-network does not resolve the problem by itself)

sudo rm /etc/airvpn/hummingbird.lock 
sudo rm /etc/airvpn/*airvpnbackup 
sudo rm /etc/airvpn/*save.txt

then run Hummingbird again.

Kind regards

Seeing the same problem (macOS Big Sur, 11.2.3 (20D91), Apple Silicone M1). It suggests to use the recover-network option, then says that network recovery is not needed, then suggests it again 😆

I have manually deleted /etc/airvpn/hummingbird.lock (machine had crashed before).

The /etc/airvpn directory only had a pf-save.txt, included below.

air % sudo ./hummingbird-macos-1.1.1/hummingbird AirVPN_Belgium_UDP-443.ovpn

air % sudo ./hummingbird-macos-1.1.1/hummingbird --recover-network
Hummingbird - AirVPN OpenVPN 3 Client 1.1.1 - 7 January 2020

It seems this program has properly exited in its last run and it has already
restored network settings on exit.
Network recovery is not needed.

# Default PF configuration file.
#
# This file contains the main ruleset, which gets automatically loaded
# at startup.  PF will not be automatically enabled, however.  Instead,
# each component which utilizes PF is responsible for enabling and disabling
# PF via -E and -X as documented in pfctl(8).  That will ensure that PF
# is disabled only when the last enable reference is released.
#
# Care must be taken to ensure that the main ruleset does not get flushed,
# as the nested anchors rely on the anchor point defined here. In addition,
# to the anchors loaded by this file, some system services would dynamically 
# insert anchors into the main ruleset. These anchors will be added only when
# the system service is used and would removed on termination of the service.
#
# See pf.conf(5) for syntax.

# com.apple anchor point

scrub-anchor "com.apple/*"
nat-anchor "com.apple/*"
rdr-anchor "com.apple/*"
dummynet-anchor "com.apple/*"
anchor "com.apple/*"
load anchor "com.apple" from "/etc/pf.anchors/com.apple"

Thanks!
