ANSWERED Allowlist wipe & default server

[Ptwifty 0]

Either I have an issue with my current settings, or something is wrong with the reconnect settings. For a while now I have noticed that upon resetting my laptop, it connects to the same server. I don't want this server and every time I change to a different server my laptop goes slow as molasses whenever I try to open a new link or refresh a tab. I have taken it off of my allowlist and put it on my denylist. I have switched to a different server, kept setting "reconnect to last server at start" on, and reset my laptop only to find that not only has the previous server gone back to my allowlist and reconnected to it by default, any changes I made to my allowlist are nowhere to be seen.

Hello!

This is a regrettable attempt to irritate AirVPN customers as retaliation by Eddie for not granting him certain benefits after almost 15 years of service. We will have to suppress these attempts at rebellion with a firm and unyielding hand.

 

Joking aside, it seems that you have defined Sheratan as the only server to which Eddie can connect. From your description, you say that you have defined a blacklist with a single server, but in reality you have defined a whitelist with that single server. Please re-check your lists in the "Servers" window.

Kind regards

OK, got me in the first half, not gonna lie. Anyways... disconnected from Sheraton, switched to Fleed, which is also on allowlist. Changed Sheraton to undefined. Reset laptop, and it goes back to Sheraton being the default and allowlisted. I have repeated this process multiple times to no avail.

Hello!

This last occurrence if confirmed is definitely unexpected and hinting to a corrupt configuration file (easy solution in this case) but first try to re-define the white list once again by deleting Sheratan from it, do not perform any other operation but shut down Eddie, re-start it and check whether Sheratan is again unexpectedly in the allow list or not.

If not: the configuration file should be fixed, no further action is required. If the white list is again including Sheratan: by deleting the configuration file while Eddie is not running and re-populating the server list you should resolve the problem.

Configuration was fixed without needing to delete it, thank you very much. I wonder if I needed to exit properly when restarting my laptop instead of force stopping it. Again, thank you very much.
