mmtunligit 0 Posted ... (edited) I went away for the weekend and came back and now Eddie doesn't seem to want to connect, throws an error about Nexthop having an invalid gateway. Searching this error hasn't really gotten me anywhere as all the results seem to be about port forwarding which I'm not doing as I don't control my network. Here's the system report [link removed for privacy now that it's been fixed], If someone could tell me what's going on that would be greatly appreciated.

Tech Jedi Alex 1570 Posted ... Please disconnect either WiFi (preferred) or Ethernet and try again. You are connected with both to the same network, and from the looks of it WiFi either got there first, or Ethernet did, but the subsequent connection to the WiFi network replaced the on-link route for the Ethernet network. Because Eddie selects the Ethernet interface, OpenVPN proceeds putting the route to the server via Ethernet, with 192.168.1.1 as the gateway/next-hop address. But by the logic of the routing table, 192.168.1.1 is unreachable via Ethernet, triggering the invalid gateway error message. If you don't want to disconnect either WiFi or Ethernet, you can instead set Eddie to explicitly use the WiFi interface (Eddie Preferences > Networking > Interface used for connection: wlan0), though this will fail again should the on-link route be set for Ethernet next time. So, disconnecting one of the networks should permanently solve the problem. Quote Hide Tech Jedi Alex's signature Hide all signatures NOT AN AIRVPN TEAM MEMBER. USE TICKETS FOR PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT.
