it sounds like when you go to restart remote that you are locking yourself out due to eddie gui

not allowing you to regain access after a restart

if i understood you correctly

i think if that is what you are stating yeah i've done that with ssh into a vps build, forget to turn xyz back off

before exiting thereby locking myself out via ssh and have to access my server through the hosting company's admin area

no they are not in the privacy business

i'm tellen ya, userstyles dot org really messed their site up, not sayen that to just complain, they really goofed up a good thing

haven't tried nord but have tried few others

not too many doin the openvpn/ssl the way air does

appreciate the updates on Waterfox and I do wish the developer success

and giganerd, again, i am so happy you are on linux, i really am

sincerely, splif aka cm0s

have you tried linux ?

yeah what pr1v said

i've been around linux a few days

and i still can't handle network-mangler

that's the first thing i do on any distro

i remove that app before it sends me into

a rehab or mental institution

There's a lot of questions on the forum about an ISP looking at traffic, different vpn protocols etc. Often there is a description and an explanation. A reply you made to a post somewhere on here zhang888 answering another member's question about dpi, how to hide tor traffic from an ISP got me thinking about trying another way to 'show' others what the traffic looks like through a gui. Along those lines there is usually questions about 'leaks' and thought maybe letting others know another way to look at their traffic is using the app Wireshark. One of those apps that honestly I don't use enough of myself. I just looked at tried the QT version on linux and really impressed with it. As for the mac, macchanger.

I was reducing the jpgs in size with gimp and pushing them back up to the server. That might have been why the pings failed, not sure.

For Windows users you can grab Wireshark here:

A short tutorial on it:

A couple days ago i read a post on here about deep packet inspection and the tor browser bundle. Basically

the OP was curious about if the traffic could be exposed or not. I'll be the first to admit as much as I play

around with this stuff and think about it I couldn't tell you exactly what deep packet inspection really is or

if stunnel is the exact same thing as https traffic. And the OP's post got me thinken about an app i got on

my box every day and rarely use: Wireshark. For as long as I have been a happy airvpn customer I have never

fired up Wireshark and did small pcap captures of my own traffic. So that's exactly what I did. I tried to

find the original post to put this there but as usual got lost.

So what I did was i went to my router, turned on dhcp, made my boxes dhcp, meaning disabled the static

and opened up firefox to browse to airvpn. Then did same thing same config with tor browser bundle.

From there I went back to the router, disabled dhcp, set my box to static, ran my firewall script and yep,

opened firefox browsed to here, closed it, opened the tor browser bundle and browsed here then closed it.

And that's really it. But truth is, for as much as i can blab about my love for encryption it wasn't really

until i looked at something, besides a terminal, looked at it and went 'oh ok, that's my encryption...'

And that was the motive for myself and the goal, to hopefully show others what the difference is with and

without openvpn/ssl and differences of both browsers on both dhcp and encrypted.

I tried posting pics up here and thought maybe i had them too big and what not i'm probably just goofing up the

buttons or something using my css, i dunno. Thing is and i've seen this on a few vpn forums, always a concern about tbb,

connection issues etc and i'm guilty of it, i don't post logs, rarely look at logs (they remind me of manuals)

and yeah the admins on most forums answer the same type of questions a million times. And Wireshark is something that

works solid on both Windows and Linux. That's the other good news.

Happy Holidays

hey thank you and happy holidays to you also

i enjoy the holidays but am totally glad when they are over

just seems like folks are a bit more relaxed and 'back to normal'

i did have a chat with Santa tho and he told me i should go ahead and

buy another wifi card, maybe a dual band Alfa, that would go good

with my parabolic, see if i can find one that has a blue light on it

the blue light is important, it has nothing to do with specs but just looks

really cool

Santa also stated he was now accepting bitcoin along with the usual cookies

and milk that folks leave out, i agreed, very good idea

he asked about encryption blah blah i stated 'airvpn bruh, duh ??'

well, ok, i'm gonna go drink too much coffee and double up on some meds

cheerz

hey KelDG a happy and safe holidays to you

was curious on this myself not sure if i found the answer but

i did some searching found one post on the forum see if it helps you out at all...

https://airvpn.org/topic/20853-the-remote-name-could-not-be-resolved/?hl=%2Bremote+%2Bname+%2Bcould

i'm trying to learn 'troubleshooting' logs

you know more about windows, eddy your config than i do it does sound like something is goofing your dns up obviously

i'll keep checking on this just to see if ya get things fixed if you do please post up your fix coz saw others online same error

sincerely,

cm0s

a sincere and happy/safe holidays to you and your loved ones

don't know windows nor am i a log reading guru but did some searching

for you see if any of this helps, not sure if dns is supposed to be in your logs

here are some links...

see if setting 'obtain dns auto' helps, don't know if eddie has that or windows

https://airvpn.org/topic/15261-i-just-upgraded-to-windows-81-and-i-have-not-been-able-to-connect/

here's one giganerd did alot of replies to...

https://airvpn.org/topic/14129-random-disconnects/

sincerely,

cm0s

well, my two cents on it without reading the manual is

any time ya got less 'tracker' duh better

sometimes switching servers has sped things up

if ya can make sure you are using openvpn/ssl port 443

and not picking on windows but yeah, maybe put together

a linux torrent box, and sometimes, not sure why

different torrent apps seem to work diff on each distro

no idea why on that one

keeping the logs isn't a good thing

that stuff usually leads to mohr data mining of sorts

and totally agree with durkasmurk

spookygoy nailed exactly what i did, localbitcoin i made that account totally legit, sent in my id blah blah

that's my 'public' account, from there you can then do whatever and however you want to move things around

lots of guides and tuts online

i know some of the guides online have titles like 'how to buy xyz online anonymously' and yeah most folks know

what that is meant for but truth is that's also a good way to move xyz around and have a 'backup' for a rainy day

this is one of the things i learned from this forum and can't say thanx enough on coz even tho been around tech a bit

lots of areas didn't venture into, btc is one of them and i'm really glad i did

happy safe holidays to all if it applies

sincerely, cm0s

cool

i got zero clue why but often if i switch servers seems to make a diff

have zero experience with that

i'll keep checking the posts

haven't used that one

i got about 3 sentences into that article then wanted to call my doctor to see if he 'd give me shock treatment for x-mas

cheerz

hope things work out

i know my ddwrt has more options than i use

i'm on the giganerd super deluxe hardened edition

to say the least after watching that i was just in awe of his raw talent
especially at such a young age, in some ways he was a kid and in some ways
making real long term adult descisions, it takes a lot to walk away from large
sums of money, straight up, no way i could do that

my respects to his family and friends

didn't know ya Aaron, but in the short time you were around you made the net
a better place
