This has been an issue for years. A kvm/qemu guest using NAT (default) to connect to the internet via the host does not work because Eddie network lock prevents it. Can or will AirVpn whitelist libvirt's virtual interfaces by default in Network Lock. Thank you

I'm using virt-manager and all my created networks stop working when i enable the network lock. Is there some script I could run to renable the networks with the network lock enabled?

Yes, I understand from researching this that some other VPN's suffer the same issues. It seems when a VPN rewrites the firewall it overwrites the rules libvirt needs to make the NAT connection or maintain the same if the NAT was established before the vpn was was put into service with a network lock enabled.

I'll wake this topic up again regarding libvirt. I have the problem with kvm qemu virtual machines not being able to connect due to the Eddie lock not letting the guest machine connect via NAT. It is suspected the issue lies in the way Eddie uses nft and libvert use ip-tables. I tried setting Eddie to Iptables-legacy then closed Eddie and opened it again, but the problem persisted. Should I have rebooted or logged out of the host machine after making the change to iptables-legacy?

It would seem that this actually fixed both issues (for the DNS leak, I can only say so for just one of the tested WiFi networks on which the leak existed). Thanks.
