Stuck on Waiting for latency tests (143 to go)

How I got here

 Home  > Download  > Linux  > Eddie

Dumps an rpm file on me with no further instructions, so I try the obvious.

After 15 minutes the number of tests to go started *increasing*. 

I feel I wasted my three euros.

Hello!

Eddie desktop edition sends simultaneously a lot of ICMP packets to different destinations (all the VPN servers in your white list, or all AirVPN servers if a white list is not defined). Such a behavior is sometimes forbidden by some ISPs which will block ICMP packets after a certain threshold is reached.

However Eddie should not get stuck and it should go on after each request times out, so it could be a bug which deserves investigation, thank you for the report.

In the meantime, try this: disable latency tests and the problem should be gone. From Eddie's main window select "Preferences" > "Advanced", then de-tick "Enable latency tests" and finally click "Save". What Eddie calls "latency tests" are a measurement of the round trip time via ping, so by disabling them you should cut out the problem roots.

When you disable latency tests Eddie is not able to pick a really good server for your node (you might find its choice of a "recommended" server bizarre, because it does not know anymore the round trip time from your node to the VPN servers), so take care to define a white list of servers according to your preferences, or pick servers or countries manually.

Kind regards
