AirVPN Suite disconnects after 60s

[Gooberslot 0]

AirVPN Suite keeps disconnecting after 60s with this error:

2023-07-16 18:48:48 ERROR: KEEPALIVE_TIMEOUT
2023-07-16 18:48:48 Session invalidated: KEEPALIVE_TIMEOUT

It will keep trying to reconnect after that but never succeed. I'm running Arch Linux with airvpn-suite-bin 1.3.0-1.

The whole log, please, from start to finish.

I'm sorry. I'm an idiot and should have done that first. Hopefully this is what you need.

bluetit.log

It looks like complete connectivity loss on the data channel after Network Lock/DNS setup. For confirmation, can you set these three directives in the relevant conf (Bluetit: /etc/bluetit.rc, Goldcrest: ~/.config/goldcrest.rc) and try again? Be advised, they may cause DNS and traffic leaks, but that's only for troubleshooting purposes.

networklock off
networklockpersist off
ignorednspush yes

Thank you for your tips. Turns out it was the networklock that is the problem. Don't know what to do about it though. That's kind of an important setting.

@Gooberslot

Thank you for the report. Can you please check whether the same problem persists when you re-enable network lock, but disable ufw completely?

sudo ufw disable

We ask because we have seen lately strange interactions (probably caused by translation errors) in systems based on nftables (iptables has been left apart by most distributions) when ufw kicks in needing translations and the Suite uses nftables (ufw is a frontend of a frontend of a frontend in  this case, because it is able to operate through iptables only and not nftables). After that we will send all the info and report to the Suite developer.

Kind regards

Unfortunately it still doesn't work even with ufw disabled. Airvpn Suite used to work a while back so something has changed either on my end or yours in the last month or so.

Hello!

It's possible, as AirVPN Suite 1.3.0 was released on the 7th of June and Network Lock features were extensively rewritten. If you want to go back to 1.2.1 here's the direct link to the tarball for Linux x86-64.
https://eddie.website/repository/AirVPN-Suite/1.2.1/AirVPN-Suite-x86_64-1.2.1.tar.gz

If you decide to downgrade, please let us know whether 1.2.1 is fine on your system. Also remember to wipe out the whole /etc/airvpn directory and any goldcrest.rc file because some new directives are not supported by 1.2.1.

Kind regards

Old version works.
