Hello, to whom it may concern, OpenVPN 2.4.8 has been released today: https://openvpn.net/community-downloads/ Happy Helloween! BB

Thank you for the comprehensive reply. I fully agree, my request only for practicality. Not for paranoia or more security. Not being able to refresh the ip from the modem, it seemed to me the solution to my problem. Anyway thanks.

The most provocative question one can ask about such things is: Can you explain the benefits? The overwhelming majority cannot answer this question without ultimately revealing they're paranoid for no reason. I propose that your paranoia is to be destroyed. You are not even remotely as important for prying eyes as you believe. Unless you are a regime critic, a war correspondent, a certain kind of politician or anyone else who'd have a very good reason to be prosecuted, expecting a jail sentence I mean, but then a VPN shouldn't be your only layer of "protection". Tor is a better alternative for these people. This option will force a full reconnect, causing noise in networks. Those who cause noise are more likely noticed. So from whom exactly are you trying to hide? Once or twice this feature was asked for by users, I believe Staff once even answered but I can't for the love of it find the posts again, sorry. Anyway, back then it wouldn't happen, and I think today little changed, if at all.

interesting, we are going to test on openSUSE 15.1. Thanks GJ no problems so far, only internet a bit slow

I for one am not happy about this gigantic popup on my computer screen every time I start a VPN session. This pop up is reason for me to _not_ prolong my subscription at this time and will decide at the moment it ends. Surely disappointed. I am a paying customer and do _not_ whish to be spammed by irrirating popups. Please fix this by making this kind of advertisments an option in the settings.

Disable µTP in the settings, as it is known to slow down your speeds. Forward a port in the AirVPN client area, enter it in qBittorrent and disable UPnP. Don't forget turn on AirVPNs Network Lock; better safe than sorry! Regards, BB
