Eddie not connecting after Curl update.

[ailurus fulgens 0]

One day ago I updated Linux Mint 21.1 to 21.2 and everything with Eddie was fine. I had an manager Curl uodate and Eddie cannot now connect. This has happened on three laptops and on one, as a test Curl was not updated. Eddie was fine. The message reads Restart in 4 or 5 seconds then switches to Latency tests and reloads the server list. I have had this issue before but cannot remember how to solve it. (Air vpn has been uninstalled and reinstalled) Help!

Hello and thank you for your choice!

 We will have Eddie's developer investigate the issue. In the meantime please try the following settings to solve the problem:

• from Eddie's main window select "Preferences" > "Advanced"
• uncheck "Check if the VPN tunnel works"
• click "Save"
• from Eddie's main window select "Preferences" > "DNS"
• uncheck "Check Air VPN DNS"
• click "Save"
• from Eddie's main window enable "Network Lock"
• try again connections to various servers

We're looking forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards

I'm having the same issue, but I'm on LM 21.1, there was a CURL update 7.81.0-1ubuntu1.11 that I installed and it stopped connecting.  I followed the instructions above and I'm able to connect again.

edit ... LM Update Manager just pushed a Curl update to 7.81.0-1ubuntu1.13, I reverted the settings from above to their original settings and it's working again.  Seems to have been issue with 1.11 that's been corrected with 1.13 update.

Keeping in mind I'm on the updated 21.2, Tried the above and had the second Curl 7.81.0-1ubuntu 1.13 update but still the issue with connecting remains. Though I would not know how to reverse the Curl settings from 1.13 to 1.11 and would a new Curl update restore 1.13?

I now have two of my laptops working perfectly after the 1.13 curl update, without any settings change at all. Perfect. The laptop I initially did the Curl update on, where the problem started, is still not working. It still has the  same symptoms as before the 1.13 update.

Try doing a system update on the one that's not working ... also perhaps reinstall curl if it's not working after updating.

Thank you, I will look at that. AF

I'm stumped. Tried all these now. Still can't use Eddie.

Solved, Changed the  'Protocol used for connection'  from IPv6,IPv4  to IP4, IPv6. (Quite simple in the end) Thanks for all the help.

I am having the same problem, using Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS. I've unchecked "Check if the VPN tunnel works" and "Check Air VPN DNS" and I can connect, but it seems like these checks are preferable to have enabled.

Here is the log:
