ANSWERED Eddie Connecting/Disconnecting/Reconnecting every 3 seconds

[SpitRR93 0]

Hey,

so I just downloaded Eddie and tried to connect to a Server. It then connected, immediately disconnected and reconnected after 3 seconds -> repeat
I have no clue why its acting like that. Can someone please help me? Thanks in advance.

Not sure which infos you guys need. I downloaded the latest Eddie version(2.21.8) for Windows 10(64 bit)

And once I installed the TAP-Windows adapter, it now says:
. 2022.05.29 13:22:01 - OpenVPN > All wintun adapters on this system are currently in use or disabled.

I tried to re-install the Driver and also to Deactivate -> Activate the driver. Both didn't work.

Hello!

For some reason we will probably investigate, when ExpressVPN driver and software are installed OpenVPN and WireGuard on their own don't work properly anymore:

. 2022.05.29 13:05:50 - Using WinTun network interface "LAN-Verbindung (ExpressVPN Wintun Driver)"

We don't know whether it's a highly customized driver which creates incompatibilities or it's just an interface lock problem caused by some Express process still running and interfering in the background. Anyway, we have noticed that by removing anything Express related, both OpenVPN and WireGuard work again just fine.

Kind regards
