ANSWERED eddie - there is no available or enabled network lock mode

[Puontyxx 0]

I am getting the above error when running Eddie for the first time after signing up to AirVPN after a recommendation 

I am using PopOS 

I installed via terminal following the instructions but got terminal errors when trying to login 

I then downloaded and installed the ubuntu image and Eddie loads fine. However after logging in and trying to connect to a server I get this issue:

there is now available or enabled network lock mode

I have read about network lock and googled the error. The most relevant cases I could find was about an old WindowsXP user and a guy who said he didn't have 'iptables' installed as part of linux. 

However, I have tried running without 'network lock' enabled in the settings. I have restarted the app and tried to connect to a server again, and it just fails to connect to any server after attempting a connection. 

I gave up after trying to connect to 20 different random servers.

Please help. Thank you

What instructions, and what kind of errors?

What's the error here?

Please try a connection with Eddie and provide a system report.

The official ones on the airvpn website 

I can't remember the errors now as I have closed terminal and it was a couple of days ago, but from memory something about missing files

Please see attached - this is with network lock disabled and then a restart of the program. I would obviously like to get working with 'network lock', but I guess one thing at a time.

Please help.

Apologies I sent a screenshot of the errors and didn't upload a full report, which is now shown below:

Any ideas people I still can't get this working, with or without network lock!

Thank you

I have actually now resolved the issue using AI. I did not have wireguard installed properly and also had to force load it on startup. now it appears to be working!
