Eddie UI not showing Download/Upload speed data

[Hellegat 1]

I am running Eddie (2.26.2) on macOS Sequoia and everything connects as normal but the main UI window no longer shows Download and Upload speeds in real time. It is stuck at 0 bit/s on both.

Is there a way to fix this?

Can you confirm that, when checking your own IP on https://ipleak.net for example, you're shown the AirVPN exit IP and not your own?

Yes, I am on AirVPN exit IP

Hi there, wanted to upload a screengrab of what I see. I've reset the settings profile and it still does not show Upload/Download speed changes in the main UI. It always stays at "0 bit/s" for both.

Hello!

Please add a system report generated by Eddie while the problem is ongoing (do not disconnect to generate it). Instructions:

Hello!

You have an apparently active Tailscale interface. It should be one of the 12 utun interfaces you have, but from this report we can't say which one (we can only say that during the report WireGuard was using utun11). Tailscale and WireGuard try to route the whole system traffic causing conflicts. Tailscale may try to tunnel WireGuard traffic and WireGuard will try to tunnel Tailscale traffic. Please test with Tailscale completely disabled when you run AirVPN software and check whether the problem is resolved. If that's the case, then you can think about ways to have Tailscale and WireGuard co-exist, if possible. If Tailscale is already disabled, test again with the Tailscale interface also disabled.

Kind regards

Thank you for that info. My Tailscale was open but not ACTIVE during this session (I don't have Eddie and Tailscale running active at the same time). However, just to be sure, I've removed the entire VPN configuration and completely closed Tailscale and I am still seeing no Upload/Download speeds in the Eddie GUI.

I put a new log here with Tailscale off completely and removed.

It's not inhibiting any use of AirVPN, but I am curious why the GUI has stopped showing speeds when it used to.

Hello!

Ok. On macOS, Eddie reads throughput from native system interface counters, no more from Mono’s NetworkInterface.GetIPv4Statistics(), because it was known that this API returns zero there (we tend to rule out a regression here). The native macOS library calls sysctl and the core RealtimeNetworkStats job samples this data every second, matches the current VPN interface ID, and computes:
download speed = delta received bytes / elapsed seconds
upload speed   = delta sent bytes / elapsed seconds

Those values are stored and then shown in the Eddie main window. Before anything else, please make sure that all the traffic really flows in the tunnel. Please browse ipleak.net and make sure that no leak is detected at all. 

Kind regards

Got it! No IP leaks, no DNS leaks.

I did some troubleshooting on my end to rule out other variables. I uninstalled the WireGuard app (was not running, but it had a system VPN profile installed) and I uninstalled Tailscale (was not running, but it had a VPN profile installed), then I restarted my Mac. All VPN profiles were removed from System Preferences and app uninstall.

With no VPN options available in System Preferences in macOS, Eddie now shows the Upload/Download speed.

I re-installed Tailscale and it automatically added its VPN profile to System Preferences. Even though Tailscale was not active, the moment a VPN profile is installed, Eddie no longer shows Upload/Download speeds in GUI.

Maybe this is typical macOS behavior? Curious if you can replicate...

Hello!

Valuable clue. Can you re-send now that everything works fine a system report? We would like to compare the amount of interfaces you have in the system now.

Kind regards

New log attached.
This is with no VPN profiles in macOS System Preferences and with Eddie UI showing accurate Upload/Download speeds (as expected).
When removing VPN profiles, a complete macOS restart is needed to have Eddie show speeds again.

Hello!

Thanks a lot. Everything was sent to devs for deeper evaluation.

Kind regards
