I am or was connected thru Nunki to bbc.co.uk at the time is all. Off to bed now, night night.

I have not been able to replicate any of this

Another thing I found with msecure under Wine is that if I minimize the window then it completely dissapears. The process is still running and I have to kill it and restart. This would be ok if I could simply keep the window open but it acts modal - it insists on keeping in front of any other window and won't even move to a slave monitor out of the way!

Well the reason for msecure is that I looked at and evaluated loads of such applications and it was the only one that fulfilled all my requirements and from my research I found nothing to suggest I couldn't trust mseven as a company. That doesn't mean to say they are but I have no worries using it. There are several reasons I rejected Keepass, one being the pain of importing over 500 records of about 15 different record layouts, something which msecure can handle with a breeze. Lastpass is just convenient for browser sign-ins, it is not able to hold all the information I need over several platforms with immediate sync - msecure can do all that too. Its the only Windows application I need to get started, I cant't think of anything else at the moment that can't be replaced by something Linux! This is an ongoing thing, doing it bit by bit and I'm open to any comments from experts such as yourself. Many thanks

For a technical guy it has taken me a surprisingly long time to be bothered to try and seriously use Linux. My excuse is laziness and a lack of being bothered. However, today Ive got the laptop dual booted with Linux Mint 17.2. I eventually want to use Linux as my main op, sooner the better. So far I have managed to install Wine and figured out how it works and configured it ok (i think), mainly because I wanted to try and run msecure which I use for passwords and stuff. That has worked fine apart from two things which I cant seem to get around. The main one is that the msecure main window does not list every item, only one entry/line. All the data is there and I can find what I want using the search filter but all I can see is one single line instead of the list. I can see all the details I need in the right hand pain so the app is usable, The other thing is that when I try to open the database I can't access the partition it resides on (in fact no partition outside the Linux environment shows up). I can copy it over using a file manager so it is not a problem but I guess this is a limitation under the Wine runtime. I have used msecure to enable me to sign in to Airvpn already so its been worth it just for that so far I'm doing a couple of on-line courses to get me going but if anyone would like to comment or chip in, feel free. I might well be asking questions at some point

Unfortunately the rip off merchants are bound to try and cash in. Good marketing hype bullsh1t makes them a fortune, and the consumer will be oblivious to the likely very poor inadeqate software they receive.

Think about stuff a little deeper. What you expect is irrelevant, try to understand how things work and why and if you have questions then just ask instead of having the attitude. In this particular example above you could copy the rules from within Windows Firewall when the network lock is applied and make those rules your default ones. That way your network will be locked to airvpns tunnel at all times. You could always simply turn off the firewall and turn on another firewall of your choice to work outside of Air.

Network Lock uses Windows Firewall, therefore: 1) Correct 2) No Windows Firelwall is easily switch off from within its own GUI.

Stop writing Old Fart ffs, lots of us are, who cares? I wrote millions of lines of code in my time, who cares?.. not many, including me. Keep the brain marbles rolling pal.

The 10.xx will be your Airvpn IP and DNS addresses and useless to anyone else. oops, just noticed i'm not replying to the OP in which case I apologise.

Biggest problem I have had is getting it to display the correct currency from the drop down list - I usually choose Bahrain or something which then allows me to further choose pound sterling. I normally have to verify using mobile.

No, Activating network lock will make sure Windows Firewall is on and alter the rules it uses. Deactivating will return Windows Firewall to its previous state.

Deleted

After disconnecting and then exiting (which will disable network lock too) your network settings should be restored to what they were previously but this can get messed up. Try looking through this, it might be that you just need to reset the DNS to auto in the IPv4 settings in your network adaptor.

I doubt many here are ignoring or are ignorant of anything being said here. Do you really think none of us are aware of all the possibilities. Some here are extremely qualified in the aspects of networking and data security never mind all the expertise available by the people who run Airvpn, whos integrity and know how are beyond question.

I'm cancelling my internet connection, redecorating the house with tin foil, and making a hat

No

That's very risky. You have two programs with the same privileges competing to modify the kernel or OS packets filtering tables at the same time. In general you must never run two firewalls simultaneously (that's true for any system, not only Windows). Kind regards OK, thanks. I take it then that the firewall rules set up in Windows Firewall with network lock on are adequate and that the default rules are not required while connected through the vpn tunnel.

I've used Comodo Firewall in safe mode with network lock on without any problems for ages. I also use Bittorrent without modifications with no problems either. Latest versions of everything, Win 7.

Good. I nearly always use the magnet link.

Mind also it isn't recommended to link two tunnels to the same server through the same router.

The ISP will be unaware that p2p is being used Hope you have successfully found some settings that work for you; I experience very little speed degredation using Air.

Get one that does

When I visit the Witch link the details it provides are all incorrect Currently I am using AirVPN --> Tor Browser using Secret Agent extension (could be this that is confusing things).

As stated on the Home Page and loads of other places, no limits are imposed on anything. Stats about your session are available under the 'Stats' tab on the Main Window or on the Web Page Client Area pointed to by the 'Your Details and statistics' option if you right click the AirVPN notification icon - you can even choose to save session archive data on the web page.
