Hello!

If you have persistent network lock set on /etc/airvpn/bluetit.rc that's expected behavior: the persistent network lock must remain on even after you voluntarily disconnect from the VPN. You may consider to disable it. However, if you turn off Bluetit completely (for example with "sudo systemctl stop bluetit"), network lock will be disabled in any case. The directive managing persistent network lock behavior is "networklockpersist".

Kind regards

Hello,

Yes, exactly — that’s the issue. When I stop Bluetit using `sudo systemctl stop bluetit`, the network lock does *not* disable, and my regular internet connection does not resume.

Even if I turn `networklockpersist` off in the config, then stop Bluetit, and later restart it with `networklock` set to off, I still don’t get internet access.

It seems like the firewall rules from the lock remain in place even after stopping the service. Is there a proper way to completely clear or disable the network lock so regular internet works again?

Like I mentioned, I’ve already tried `sudo ufw reset` and `sudo systemctl restart systemd-resolved`, but that didn’t resolve the issue.

Thanks,

Hello!

Can you please tell us your Linux distribution name and version and send us the Bluetit log taken after the problem has occurred?

sudo journalctl | grep bluetit

Can you also check whether firewalld is active in your system?

Kind regards
