Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.  
The results are poorly reproducible. Key pattern as follows: 
System boots - eddie starts 
If VPN connects - works for approximately 3 hours, then issues with connecting to VPN 
I then restart PC 
- Will sometimes connect, sometimes never connect 
 
So far I have been repeatedly restarting PC until the VPN connects 
 
I have tried changing protocols - seems to make no difference 
 
Please see attached system logs - from an instance where the VPN is working and an instance where the VPN is not working.  
 
Apologies if I am missing something big - I previously just used mullvad/proton - very simple clients. I have little knowledge of networking

Contacted ISP and they are sending a new router but I also bought a new router and that didn't work, tried uninstalling Eddie (didn't work) I think it may be a DNS issue or IP address issue or some setting blocking internet when VPN is off.. Has anybody else had this issue with Eddie blocking wired and wireless connections when not using VPN?

what is running good in my Ubuntu KDE desktop  
 
I just get a Raspberry PI 5 4 gb and the lastest  official release of ubuntu for rasp 4 gb   avaible ( 24.04.4 LTS ? )  from the official website 24.04.4 LTS 
 
 
First at all i tried the EDDI UI from this section 
https://airvpn.org/linux/eddie/I 
 
( Linux -&gt; ARM64 ( adecuate for Rasp 5 4gb) --&gt;    Eddi Gui-Cli --&gt; Debian -&gt; Grapich UI 
 
.. and apparently it install  goes  well, and the icon appears on the Ubuntu Raspb.  
 
But you click on it and apparently Eddi has no response. 
 
A have read another similiar topics but n idea what could happens. 
 
I tried unistall, and re install but the entire SUITE this time. ( i only undestand the UI not the terminal thing ) 
 
And the the Suit apparently is running in the process, but the installed  icon on Ubuntu Rasp  dont lauch the UI interface 
 
Its not a major issue for me, but really would use AirVpn on my Rasp 5 , 4gb as backup pc from time to time 
 
( i dont have much skills on linux terminal ) 
 
Any idea ? Thanks !]]></description><pubDate>Sun, 19 Apr 2026 11:07:11 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Exclude Mail Server From OpenVPN</title><link><![CDATA[https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/79912-exclude-mail-server-from-openvpn/?do=findComment&comment=262280]]></link><description>I am using DD-WRT, and want to exclude my mail server, as my ISP keeps blocking emails sent / received via VPN connections

However, after a reboot and no other setting changes the port forward isn't working properly through the Wiresock connection any longer. I've tried generating a new config file just to see and same issue. I removed all my ports except for one to see if I just had too many and it was just getting confused. 
	 
	Does anyone know if there's anything specific to configure inside of Wiresock? I've only setup split tunnelling for a couple of specific applications and enabled the virtual adapter setting; everything else is left at the default.  
	 
	I am also running Tailscale if that matters at all, not sure if it would interfere, but killing that connection doesn't seem to have any effect.  
	 
	I do have AirVPN installed on my other machine and port forwarding seems to be working fine there, so I think it's a misconfiguration with Wiresock; I'm just unsure where to check. Any help or nudges in the right direction would be appreciated. 
	 
	Edit: I figured it out; I had to allow qBittorrent in my firewall rules for the public network.

The problem is, there isn't a way to IP or domain whitelist Steam, since I don't know any of the ip's it uses to connect, and they change alot. This is where app-based tunneling would shine though, and here is why 
 
1. App based tunelling would most likely save you guys alot of bandwidth, now people can tell the VPN to send web browser connections through their actual internet, and then you won't have alot of traffic taken up by YouTube streams 
2. This defeats the need to switch to other clients, which is clunky and complicated. 
3. It lets you do everything in one app (Eddie), which is extremely convenient and simple for newcomers to use, probably bringing more subscribers to the VPN too since split-tunneling is a useful feature 
4. It straight up lets you split tunnel some stuff in the first place, such as Steam i've already mentioned, which uses a variety of ip's and domains i don't know, and i'm not about to spend a few hours in wireshark getting all the ip's/domains and adding them. 
 
So please, 4 good reasons on why app split-tunneling should be added to Eddie. 
 
P.S. another thing I noticed was that the split-tunneling already in Eddie didn't seem to work until I reconnected the VPN, is this a limitation, a bug, or just something that isn't added?

I've been using AirVPN for a pretty long time on a Proxmox LXC with Wireguard that runs my qBittorrent. It's been working fantastic until suddenly it can no longer make outbound connections. Pinging 1.1.1.1 comes up with nothing, and I cannot ping www.google.com either. Only thing I can ping are connections inside my network. I'm honestly unsure what would've possibly caused this as I've changed nothing about my system except for updating it, but thats it. The only thing I notice is a message when doing "wg-quick up wg0" is "/etc/resolvconf/update.d/libc: Warning: /etc/resolv.conf is not a symbolic link to /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf", but when I do "ln -sf /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf" I get "Temporary failure in name resolution: `us3.vpn.airdns.org:1637'. Trying again in 1.00 seconds..." with the time slowly increasing.  
 
I added some photos below to hopefully allow people to get a better idea on whats going on. Any help is appriciated cause honestly I have no idea where to go with this, its a major head scratcher and I'm unsure on where to even begin. If it helps I also do have tailscale setup on this as well, but it's been working fine for the longest time so I can't see that affecting anything. All connections work fine with the wireguard vpn down as well.

	I am currently in the EU. A friend flew me out here to get me away from the Trump regime, which has been ****ing with my family and livelihood, but I need to work to make money and figure out what I'm going to do with my life (I'm working on a nomad visa).  
	 
	I seem to have mixed luck here. On a couple exit IPs from the USA, which I need to appear to be coming in from in order to work, it worked for a bit, but the IPs are now blocked. 
	I'm not breaking any rules, I get why they would want to block VPNs because cloud labor sites have issues with nationals paying people in other countries to work as them, but I'm a born citizen with a right to work in the USA and not being able to use a VPN is seriously hurting me right now.  Choosing to come in without a VPN gives me a "This project is not available in your region." wall. I have already started work on the project in question, I'm legal, just remote!  Very frustrating. 
	 
	Is there anything I can do to get past this? It's going to hurt really bad if I can't work on any remote projects because of regional/VPN blocks.

I searched the forums and other pages found in the links at the top of the forum and didnt find it, so whatever the result/answer is, I think it's good to have it documented.  
 
Checked the tools in the thread to check if it's an ISP issue, it shouldn't be. The route check for https://www.worldcat.org/ shows success for pings but every single server fails to connect, either with Fail (no connect) or  Fail (HTTP 301) (https://airvpn.org/routes/?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.worldcat.org%2F). I assume this is due to the above url automatically redirecting to https://search.worldcat.org/ ? Then again, route check for that url errors out with Fail (HTTP 302) or (no connect) (https://airvpn.org/routes/?q=https%3A%2F%2Fsearch.worldcat.org%2F).

I created a port forwarding  on my  pc1 at port eg 3***** and running eddie on it, i can connect to it from pc2 via ssh over the internet. 
 
but the moment i  activate eddie and route my home pc traffic via eddie on home pc as eg 1******** 
and then try to reach my office vis ssh, i get the below error  
 
ssh: connect to host ubuntu.airdns.org port 34445: Network is unreachable 
 
then i have to delete the home port in my control panel at airvpn, and wait for hours for connection to reset on its own or chache to clear so that i can connect from home to office. 
Basically airdns works great with just one active port. 
 
if i want to run ssh on pc2 and connect to it from pc3 (while pc2 is sshing into pc1) it fails. 
 
Any help on this pl.</description><pubDate>Fri, 03 Apr 2026 08:46:20 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Very inconsistent network speeds Fedora Linux</title><link><![CDATA[https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/79684-very-inconsistent-network-speeds-fedora-linux/?do=findComment&comment=261886]]></link><description>Good Morning everyone,  
 
I have been experiencing extremely inconsistent network speeds since a few months.  
Sometimes disconnecting and reconnecting fixes it, but not always. I can't seem to find a correlation.  
 
I either connect through wg-quick or use nmcli. Both have the same issue.  
 
Any way I could go about solving this issue / providing further logs?</description><pubDate>Wed, 01 Apr 2026 20:14:23 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>eddie - there is no available or enabled network lock mode</title><link><![CDATA[https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/79680-eddie-there-is-no-available-or-enabled-network-lock-mode/?do=findComment&comment=261876]]></link><description>win 10, installed the latest version and am now getting this error. uninstalled and reinstalled same error.</description><pubDate>Tue, 31 Mar 2026 08:38:43 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>internet archive (web.archive.org) returns 429</title><link><![CDATA[https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/79668-internet-archive-webarchiveorg-returns-429/?do=findComment&comment=261857]]></link><description>example: https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/swain#English

Could this be causing loading issues with some locations (sorry, don't have the last one). Or is this typical of AVPN IPs?</description><pubDate>Sun, 29 Mar 2026 18:17:15 +0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
