  1. Hello, I use AirVPN for leisure and then I just switch it off and connect separately to my company's server through another VPN tunnel for work. This has worked like a charm for months. The Network Lock function in the AirVPN client has been extremely useful so far...until this morning when I tried to connect to the work VPN and couldn't, then I realized I was totally offline. I can't get online outside of AirVPN (browser can't connect, no Skype, etc.), even when Network Lock is disabled, despite being in full range of my router and it being recognized correctly. I'm not sure that Network Lock is the culprit here but it seems to be the likely suspect since it changes firewalls rules? At this very moment I am online through AirVPN. If I switch it off, then I'm offline again and it seems that no amount of tweaking in my Network and Sharing Center can fix that (although I am not an expert admittedly). My phone is also online through the wireless connection from my router. No issues there. Any clue as to what might have happened here? From Wireless Network Connection it shows "connected" and the router's signal is on full blast, but still I'm totally offline when AirVPN is off. I went through the FAQ and previous issues but can't seem to find any relevant topics. Something to do with the Firewall settings perhaps? I've used the client to make all traffic go through AirVPN, now I'm facing a situation where I can get online only through the VPN even when Network Lock is disabled. I was forced to work with a USB stick all day today. The network admin at my workplace remotely connected to my pc and couldn't figure it out. I apologize if this might have been answered before, and I look forward to a reply. Thanks
  2. Basically, after I enable network lock several programs ask for permission to go through my firewall (bittorrent sync, plex, qbittorrent) and I don't know what I should do. Will letting them through cause my IP to leak if AirVPN goes down?
  3. Oh boy, not sure what I did. So recently I switched from PIA (Private Internet Access) to AirVPN because I needed the ability to access my PLEX server remotely when my VPN was enabled. I was able to set this up correctly however for some reason, I am unable to access my media library now. My files are sitting on a synology NAS connected to my network. Are there any other settings I need to do so that when I access PLEX and AirVPN is enabled, it will be able to browse my network storage? Also, I enabled network lock after reading what it is used for. Soon after, I ran into some issues so I disabled it to perform some debugging. Unfortunately, even though it is disabled, when I close AirVPN, I am unable to access the internet from my server. As soon as I turn on AirVPN, my connection restores. I tried to restart to flush the setting but no luck. I bit off more than I can chew apparently. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I attached some screenshots I thought would be helpful. If there are any other details needed, please let me know. Thank you in advance!
  4. Hi New to AirVPN. I have set Network Lock mode to Auto but the main screen shows that Network Lock is disabled. I have set Eddie (2.10.3) to run Network Lock at start up but I get the following message "There is no available or enabled Network Lock mode" I am on XP and running the default Windows firewall. Appreciate your help
  5. Hello, this is a note to the Air staff, and to the Administrators of this service. I've moved to your network from another very popular VPN provider. Your client looks quite promising, however there are a couple things I need to know, and I will list them below. It's worth noting the following: • I'm running Windows 7 x64 on a fully encrypted machine, with a 100Mbps direct PPPoE connection, no router. • I use Bit Defender Internet Security 2016 which comes with all the bells and whistles. • I am adequately protected against WebRTC leaks. I have tried various servers to test the reliability of the connection, and of the client in general. A few things to note plus a couple of questions about Eddie and the reliability of your service: DNS Leaks: Upon checking the connection using your website IPLeak.NET, I have consistently experienced DNS leaks discovering my ISP, on servers from multiple countries except for Sweden, Switzerland and Latvia, which were consistently reliable with no leaks. The hardware didn't change and no settings were changed in the operating system or on the ISP's PPPoE connection in between server switching. All applications that would use the internet were closed before disconnecting and re-launched upon switching to a new server. What would be the explanation for consistently experiencing DNS leaks on so many of your servers? Network Lock: A tour of your client Eddie, revealed that Network Lock relies heavily on Windows Firewall. Considering I'm probably not the only one using a fully featured internet security suite (Bit Defender Internet Security 2016), which has its own firewall, Windows Firewall is therefore inactive (deactivated by Bit Defender to prevent conflicts). How does your client handle the situation where one of your customers is using an Internet Security suite, and as such, Windows Firewall being inactive in the context? Are there specific settings and/or Firewall rules that I can create and use with Bit Defender's Firewall to tailor it around Eddie's Network Lock, and seal the gaps, as Windows Firewall would do, or is Eddie's Network Lock limited to Windows Firewall only? Would enabling Network Lock which in turn enables Windows Firewall, conflict with the second Firewall, thus compromising Firewall integrity? There's a mode in the Network Lock section of the client called "Automatic" but it's not clear how Automatic is defined in the context. Does this mean that it works with the Internet Security suite Firewall or something else? What does the Automatic mode do specifically? Tor Exit Node: On some of the servers (predominantly Netherlands), the Tor Exit Node indicator is lit green when checking with your service at IPLeak.NET. On other servers it isn't. What are the mechanics behind this?
  6. Hi, I have just finished a review for AirVPN and have also run some speedtests on some of the servers. The article isn't meant for advanced users, but mainly for people looking for a decent VPN to start using. I have also tried to give some advice where I can If you think that there is something that I have missed, or have incorrectly described I would be more than happy to make some edits as it is important that any potential users get the best advice. http://www.techfleece.com/2015/12/03/airvpn-review-plus-speedtests/ Regards, Richard
  7. Hey guys, Can anybody help or explain why i'm getting DNS leaks even with Network Lock enabled? It's intermittent but using ipleak.net i can see it is occurring. Not sure what information i can provide to help anyone answering. I'm currently using a wired connection and running Windows 7(64bit). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  8. So it looks like since Upgrading to Windows 10 - the Network Lock is no longer working. I am still able to connect to the internet while not connected to a VPN server. I get notifications when activating and deactivating the feature; however I am not 100% sure this is working correctly. I didn't download any AirVPN update after my upgrade - as it looked like AirVPN was working fine already. Has anyone else experienced this same problem?
  9. Hi. I have small problem, I want to run airvpn over Tor, without network lock everything work fine and the connection is established. After Disconnecting and activating network lock and then Reconnect again --> checking autherization Fail I have tried several times, I'm using Tor 0.2.6.10 , Portable Eddie for debian. the following are some logs collected from Tor, eddie and iptables Eddie log Tor Log "note the time" Iptables -L output Any Ideas ? Is there anyway to activate network lock after connection get established ? Thanks,
  10. So I just downloaded AirVPN yesterday and started exploring it today. I am very new to this vpn thing. I figured out port forwarding for qbittorrent, but I haven't tried to torrent yet. Anyway I used dnslinktest.com When I turn on the Network lock there are leaks, when I turn it off there are no leaks. Isn't the purpose of the network lock to prevent leaks?
  11. Hi, I can't seem to deactivate network lock. Rather, I do deactivate network lock, but then I can't access the internet anymore. From what I remember... Installed AirVPN. Used the client. Connected to a server, accessed internet, disconnected from server, still accessed internet. Decided to try network lock. Activated network lock, connected to a server, accessed internet. Disconnected from server, could not access internet. Deactivated network lock, still can not access internet. I've tried a couple times reactivating, reconnected, deactivating, etc, but still I can only access the internet when connected to a server, regardless of the network lock status. Any ideas? I imagine I can manually change some windows firewall settings to open it up again... but I shouldn't have to do that if the airvpn client works, right? Windows 7. AirVPN client 2.9.2. Thanks,
  12. Hi, I'm connecting through Eddie 2.9 in Ubuntu. In the preferences I have LAN and ping both enabled, and I've also whitelisted the ip address of the networked printer at my office. But I still can't access it unless I turn network lock off. But I can access other computers on the LAN. It's just the printer that I can't talk to. Any advice?
  13. Hi guys, Like I mentioned in a previous post of mine, I've just started using airVPN and VPN's in general and need a bit of guidance. With my setup, I've made sure to turn on the network lock in order to make sure I have no data leaks. What I have found though is that if I restart my machine while the VPN is connected, on restart my machine will connect to the VPN but it will deactivate the network lock before doing so. I've attached some of the text from my logs: 2015.04.14 09:56:32 - Operating System: Microsoft Windows NT 6.2.9200.0I 2015.04.14 09:56:33 - OpenVPN Driver - TAP-Windows Adapter V9I 2015.04.14 09:56:33 - OpenVPN - Version: OpenVPN 2.3.6 (C:\Program Files\AirVPN\openvpn.exe)I 2015.04.14 09:56:33 - SSH - Version: plink 0.63 (C:\Program Files\AirVPN\plink.exe)I 2015.04.14 09:56:33 - SSL - Version: stunnel 5.09 (C:\Program Files\AirVPN\stunnel.exe)I 2015.04.14 09:56:33 - IPV6: AvailableW 2015.04.14 09:56:33 - Recovery.

Does anyone have any ideas how keep the network lock on even after it restarts while the VPN is connected? Thanks again in advanced for the help..
  14. Hi, I have been using AirVPN for a few weeks now and had no issues. The network lock has always been activated, but since yesterday when I open uTorrent or Firefox it looks like these programs are now trying to access the net not through the VPN firewall rules but through their own firewall rules - see below / attached screen prints. So unless I allow the connection I can't download in uTorrent for example. The question now is - Why are these programs creating their own firewall rules and not using the VPN inbound rules? They always used to go through the VPN rules? - If I allow the connections, will these programs still go through the tunnel or am I at risk of broadcasting my real IP? Thanks
  15. I am trying to connect via a batch file: CLI.exe -netlock -advanced.windows.dns_force -login=<username>-password=<password> -connect -server -port=443 -protocol=UDP First thing to mention is that CLI.exe must be run as administrator in Win 8.1, if not the ARP flush fails. In the command line I can see "netlock activated" but if visit www.ipleak.net webrtc and dns is leaking. edit: I also have the problem with the GUI WebRTC and DNS is leaking.
  16. Hi, I am using successfully the network lock option in Eddie 2.7 on OsX https://airvpn.org/faq/software_lock/ I use it with the option "OSX PF", I would like to see the custom PF config file which is being loaded. You mention that it is created "under the data folder", but where, I cannot find it? Do you mean /etc/data ? or /Applications/AirVpn/data? I cannot find an airvpn folder under /Library/Application Support
  17. Hi i am using comodo on one of my laptops and am wondering if enabling the Network lock feature will cause issues.I know i can configure comodo to block the internet if the vpn loses connection but this is not something i want to do on this laptop for a few reasons.I noticed when i enabled it it said windows firewall and comodo were on in the action center(as expected) but does this enable the whole windows firewall rules or just the Network lock? Thanks for any feedback. Also thanks to Airvpn team for making a brilliant service even better.Thank you
