[SOLVED] Air VPN Connection problems

Hi folks,

I'm new to this and having problems. I managed to connect last week for a while but had awfully slow speeds. On retrying last night, I'm completely unable to connect.

I can log in with the Air VPN application without any issue, so long as I select 'Socks' as the Proxy Type in preferences. I can then select a server in my region but it cycles indefinitely when trying to connect. No luck all night last night.

If I select HTTP in Proxy Type then it reports 'Unable to connect to the remote server'.

The Host and Port entries are left at default.

I've made no changes to my router. No ports forwarded, etc. I'm using a TP Link TL-R860 router.

I've tried disabling my AV and Firewall which I'm obviously not keen to do. No change.

Using Windows 7 64x.

I've posted a log below. Any help much appreciated.

Hello!

Your proxy is not responding or refusing connections on port 9050. Please make sure that your proxy is running AND listening to port 9050. What proxy are you using?

Kind regards

Hello there,

thanks for the quick reply. If you mean what info is in the Air VPN Settings box when I right click the icon in the system tray (?) then it shows the following:

Proxy

Type: Socks

Host: 127.0.0.1

Port: 9050

If that's now what you're asking then let me know how to find it.

Hello!

You can activate that option if you wish to connect over OpenVPN over a proxy. If you don't have a proxy, do not activate it, otherwise OpenVPN will try a connection toward a proxy that simply does not exist.

Usually, you use a connection over Air over a proxy if you want to hide to our servers your real IP address even while you are connected to the VPN server(s), or if your ISP disrupts OpenVPN connections.

A significant example:

I see, I think.

If I open up OpenVPN's GUI tool, it's set to 'Use OpenVPN Config-file Settings' and the HTTP Proxy and SOCKS Proxy fields are ghosted out. What am I missing?

Should I set Proxy Type to Socks or HTTP or None? Should I edit the corresponding Host and/or Port fields? If so, how do I find what to use there?

I'm sorry - as I say, I'm new to using this tool.

Hello!

If you don't have a proxy, please do not activate that option in the Air client.

If you use the OpenVPN GUI, or OpenVPN directly, generate the configuration(s) you wish with our configuration generator (menu "Member Area"-->"Access without our client"). As above, do not tell the configuration generator the you use a proxy if you don't have one.

Usage of proxies implies a severe performance degradation.

Kind regards

I believe I have it working.

I set the OpenVPN Proxy Settings tool to 'Use OpenVPN Config-file settings' (as it was, originally) and then I set the Proxy type in the Air VPN tool to None. It then logged in as usual and also managed to connect to a server, albeit after 30 seconds. The speed test (here on airvpn.org) shows a decent speed and the previously red Not Connected node on this site now shows green with 'Connected' and an IP clearly not my own/usual/geographic location. Should I assume all is working well?

If so - many thanks for your speedy assistance!

Hello!

Yes, it's just fine. :)

Also, 30 seconds for an OpenVPN client to connect to an OpenVPN server with gateway and routing tables pushes are totally normal.

Kind regards
