Hello! Normally the changes are applied in a matter of minutes and they do not require re-connections, the forward rules are "hot swapped". However, your description hints at an undue delay, we will investigate. In order to speed up the change, if a similar problem re-surfaces, please disconnect and re-connect your system to the VPN server(s). Provided that your forwarded port(s) are enabled for all the "devices" of your account, that the forward rules are applied for all the various VPN interfaces, and that you know which exit-IP address your service is reachable on, the multi VPN configuration is not a problem. If you find that port forwarding works with a "single VPN" configuration, but stops working with a multi-VPN setup, you need to check the above again. No, this is not a cause for concern. Just keep in mind that without VPN DNS you can't use the AirVPN DNS based blocking system and the geo-routing system. Kind regards

Hello! On top of the previous message we have checked your account and please note that you forwarded only one UDP port. Please check: if your listening program expects TCP packets (too) you must forward accordingly. If necessary you can change the listening protocol from your remote inbound port panel. The Protocol combo box, which is available on each port, can be set back to TCP+UDP (default setting) anytime. Kind regards

Hello! This remarkably good guide should help you: https://nguvu.org/pfsense/pfsense-port-forward/ It is focused on AirVPN remote inbound port forwarding for torrent clients but it can be very handy for any other listening program. Kind regards

I even tried running the VM in the same 10.4.x.x subnet with OpenVPN. This is just so insanely frustrating if I have no clue at all why the requests aren't getting picked up properly. I could handle any request from other applications/servers/VPNs and networks in general. Sometimes I had to adjust the subnet but why isn't it working on here? I mean, this has to be a joke, right? Just forwarding an simple port. I know what exactly is happening in the network and how it is handled on the low level. I know that this is not that hard of an task. This has to be an fucking joke... right? I messed up my whole configuration and changed EVERY single bit to the weirdest and hackiest constellations just to work around it. It just does not work. HAHAHAHAHHA SO FUNNY HAHAHAH PORT FORWARDING HARDEST TASK 2017 KILL ME PLEASE. No seriously. I am literally in the exact same subnet OpenVPN set up. There is (again) literally no possible technical and physical way OpenVPN can sneak that connection past me. Every outbound connection takes about 1 minute until he found the target. Ping is still 20ms though. Edit: Ok I have now wasted 12h on this simple stupid task. I have literally tried everything in my hands. If OpenVPN doesn't want to give out the connection there is nothing I can do. OpenVPN works with different VPN providers. AirVPN is the only one which doesn't give out the connections I am paying and begging for. If no one from AirVPN helps me what am I supposed to do? I even set up the most stupid network, just grabbing every single thing and OpenVPN is still super picky. I have no idea when it gives out the connections and when it doesn't. Please. Someone. Help. Me. I have tried LITERALLY everything there is to do. Even the most stupidest things. LITERALLY EVERYTHING. The only thing I want to do is to forward the damn port. I already have set up an working handler. I tried messing around with the handler but that was just because there was nothing I could do. You can't be serious with this. It is just forwarding an port. That takes about 60 seconds from scratch in ASM... And obviously you didn't even do it in ASM. So, how the hell is it that hard to forward an single port? The only thing I can do now is to hope that someone of the admin team jumps out and is like "Whoops. Haha just a prank bro. We actually checked if an port in an chinese bitcoin farm was open and then forwarded it. Simple forwarding? Naah. That works. Let's not do that. There's an camera right there, there and there!" I could run it on my local server but then I couldn't connect my PC anymore since you are not port checking. Means the port forwarding isn't reliable anymore.
