I encountered a problem using the new "Advanced option -> Custom directives" feature. I specified that I wanted this line to be appended:

 

config ../AirVPN_include/2_myroute.ovpni

 

But what I got was:

 

config ../AirVPN_include/2_myroute.ovpni

 

This off course did not work.

Also, I discovered that the new "Advanced option -> File prefix" places an underscore character (_) between the prefix and the rest of the file name. I had included an underscore already at the end of my prefix, so I got two underscore characters. Perhaps the help box that you get when you hover the mouse over the text box should warn that it will do this?

Hello!

 

Thanks, the encoding problem has been fixed.

 

Also, an additional underscore is not added now if one is already entered in the field.

 

Kind regards

Hello all

 

could someone send for us beginners some link where is explained what to tick and choose from connection mode (on left side) and what in Proxy (on right side) ?

 

should I choose "Direct, protocol TCP, port 53" or "port 80" or more ports in advanced mode?? and Proxy http or socks? and Authentication " none?" because it is easier or better is to have password?

 

thank you in advance

Hello!

 

OpenVPN has the ability to connect over a socks 4/5 or http proxy. Connections may or may not require authentication, according to how the proxy is configured. You need to connect over a proxy if you're behind a proxy (according to your questions, very probably you are not). You might like to connect over a proxy, even if you're not behind a proxy, in special cases (a didactic example is here https://airvpn.org/tor).
