Issue identified, will be fixed in tomorrow release, please have patience.

Everything works ok now.
Openvpn and wireguard work ok.
Thanks.

So far so good as always, Mac mini i7 on Monterey 12.1! 

Those weird network errors I used to get when torrents ran at full speed seem to have completely disappeared too!

[Bubo 1]

@Clodo, hope the W7 wintun issues are fixed by final release as 2.21.0 beta is only working version on a old non-aes i5 750 box.

Not sure if this has already been reported, but we encountered a memory leak in Eddie 2.21.2 beta, on multiple machines.. all running Wireguard. Does not happen all the time, but when it does it will eat away RAM like nutty...

Hello!

Yes, thank you! It should have been resolved in 2.21.3 beta, can you please cross-check?

Kind regards

Thanks for the update. Verified that the new version uses the kernel drivers and has much lesser CPU usage.

One thing I noticed is that even if I disconnect a WireGuard session via Eddie, the session still shows as active on the site (and counts as an active connection) until it eventually times out and disappears. Can this be fixed so if a session is disconnected from Eddie, the session details are also immediately removed?

Thanks.

WireGuard doesn't have any "signal" to communicate a disconnection, it is a "Connection-less Protocol".
Simply if we don't receive a handshake in 3 minutes, our servers consider the connection closed.
This is how WireGuard works.
We can potentially add in Eddie some Air-specific "disconnection signal", but it wouldn't be coherent for sessions with software other than Eddie (e.g. the official WireGuard app).

Anyway, currently if you already have 5 active connections, and you disconnect one and reconnect, sixth connection will work.


In a previous message, you asked for keeping interface with WireGuard, or at least reuse MAC address.
Unfortunately, creation & destruction of network adapter are performed by WireGuard library.

Sorry if i need to reply NO to your requests...

Hi,
just tried the new version on Arch (eddie-ui-git from aur) and it seems it can't get elevated access:

2.21.3 worked fine.

Still the same problem with 2.21.4, additionally 2.20 doesn't work after deinstallation of 2.21.4 until I manually delete the default.profile file - otherwise the login window fields just aren't there.

[Maggie144 12]

I was running 2.21.4 just fine, until my catalina-mac lost power. Now it's old news:

- dmg version is broken and can't be opened, even after re-install
- I'm unable to elevate privileges to start the portable app

back on the Terminal with Hummingbird 1.1.2 (1.2.0 RC1 doesn't want to work, will post log in it's thread)

[vmrhdhvbgu 0]

Hello! Is anyone have an idea when 2.21 will make it to the stable version? Last stable version is from March 2021.

 There's a distinction between approval and no one answering you after the fact. The latter is the case.
Please don't post exactly the same info twice in two different forums.

I will lock the other thread as this one is used by devs and Staff to gather feedback. If you still don't get an answer, do not open a third, go directly to professional support.

I deleted the other topic, we talk about this issue here.
Just tested on a fresh Debian11, for the moment we can't reproduce.
Please launch Eddie, go to Preferences -> Logging -> check Log Debug, and send again a full log (via ticket if you prefer).
Thanks

[BettyIsBoop 3]

Arg … hate when other can not reproduce … 😥

I send you complete log file : computer restart, see error, try to activate Network lock : error again, connect : OK.

I honestly don't understand what cause your issue (probably correlated to "OpenVPN > write UDP: Unknown error (code=10065)").
Please:
- try to send to me a full logs of version that work (2.20), so i can compare with the log you already send of 2.21.4
- try OpenVPN with TCP (Preferences > Protocols -> untick Automatic -> choose the second, TCP 443.
- try Wireguard, same as TCP (i see you already joined the beta)
thanks

Log of 2.20 is attached - 2.21.4 with TCP 443 works, Wireguard works as well. So at least I dont need to downgrade again, thanks for your help!

Version 2.21.5 (Tue, 08 Mar 2022 11:30:14 +0000)

• [bugfix] [linux] Segmentation-fault of Elevation in some Arch distro
• [change] [linux] Tray icon (temporarily) removed from Arch/AUR build
• [bugfix] [macos] Fix for issue "Client not allowed: Remote executable not signed"
• [bugfix] [linux] Issue with custom IP in NetLock>Allowlist (nftables only)
• [bugfix] [linux] Better selection of iptables vs iptables-legacy vs iptables-nft
• [bugfix] [linux] Useless ping result reported in std::cout

[encrypted 13]

Couple of questions before anything else.

Any reason why the latest experimental Eddie 2.21.5 package for Debian is much smaller than all the previous ones?  (now 2.3MB vs earlier 2.8MB)

Secondly, the useful panel indicator vanished from Linux Mint ages ago already, IIRC due to some deprecated (libindicator?) package issue. Is that it or what? Somehow all the other panel indicators survived that particular 'special panel indicator operation'...

[Huitzilopochtli 1]

Installed the last Eddie Beta today before my work day. Tried WireGuard on different servers. Lower speeds than using OpenVPN. I've seen opposite results when I tried a couple of Air's competitors in the recent past (Mullvad and Proton). Is it something affecting me only or is a common issue? (The log start at 10:03 AM from the last reconnection but the first connection started at 8 AM).

Correct, we compile this version without statically linking some libraries, for better stability.

Yes, sorry but tray icon will be reimplemented as soon as possible.

[Undecatthu34 0]

In Beta since July of last year ?

Eddie as now not been updated in over one year ? and looking at the change log is falling further and further behind

It is a major conern that the client is not being maintained
