You got it slightly wrong. They can't reproduce the custom DNS feature not working properly, i.e., in the context of the application, and I can reproduce your results in the context of the DNS leak test results. We mean the same thing in the end, it's not bugged, which means it works as intended.

Hello! We can't reproduce the issue... Please upgrade to Eddie 2.3, or 2.4 beta 1 and test again at your convenience. Also, do not enter custom directive "block-outside-dns": that's a directive implemented only on OpenVPN 2.3.x and higher version for Windows, which is a system with incomplete DNS implementation (lack of global DNS). Kind regards

Thank you @giganerd!! My apologies for the late response. I read everything from @LZ1 as you said, took me a while, but I am finally in! on Linux Mint and Android. Thanks again!

On my Shield TV the difference in speed was a matter of 45mbit/s vs 35mbit/s. Not that significant a speed increase with chacha20. This using the same speedtest server, same VPN server, same port and protocol. Only thing that changed was stream cipher. AES-256-GCM vs chacha20. But, perhaps my speed from that VPN server just never will be that high anyway.

ChaCha20 really increases the speed, and the experimental servers work well! Speed went up to 146mbit/s, while before 110mbit/s was the limit Battery life has increased as well! Eddie battery consumption used to be about 40%, and now it is down to 15-20% (both at intense smartphone usage) However, I noticed that speedtest only works with TCP. If I connect with UDP, it can´t find any server to connect to, and loads endlessly. Any idea why this happens? Non-experimental servers work on both protocols.

Hello and welcome! All are equal because Eddie takes care of them all. Every OS has its special settings you should take care of if you want to be "safe". For example, disabling smart DNS in Windows or taking note of the differences between the distribution's implementations of networking. I am a Linux user, proudly switched from Windows a few years ago and never looked back for a second. It's quite easy here to setup leak prevention because of the network profiles you can configure. Switch with two clicks on any desktop environment. I am not sure whether this is possible on Windows, I can only remember 7, 8 and 8.1 where you need to switch network settings manually. Not sure if Windows 10 finally gives you the opportunity to create multiple profiles. Depends on the changes, I guess. Which one did you have in mind for an example? No matter. Use Eddie and a webbrowser for things like port forwarding, they give you all the possibilities. Also, it all sounds like you haven't read LZ1's New User Guide, link in my signature. Take 30 minutes of your time and go through it, it answers a load of questions, even if you need to read quite a lot (which by the way is how you learn Linux mostly ).

Oh maybe there's a better way. When I ran the script the first time, the vpn was disconnected and the script would just hang. Took me a bit of time to debug it to find the UPTIME=... the culprit. At the very least, if IPADDR isn't set the script should log it and exit since otherwise it just hangs (since the grep is waiting for stdin if IPADDR is empty).
