Hello everyone, I’m facing an issue with my current setup and would appreciate your help. Here’s my configuration: • NAS Synology, DSM 7.2.2 • OpenVPN profile set up in the network interface • I followed this tutorial for the setup: (How-to: AirVPN on Synology DSM6 and DSM7 complete guide) • Port forwarding works fine with Download Station For several weeks now, I’ve been experiencing frequent VPN disconnections without any clear explanation. For over a year, I didn’t have any issues—my sessions were stable for weeks or even months. However, recently, my connections keep dropping, and I lose port forwarding. Oddly, on the AirVPN “Session” page, the connection still appears active. On the port forwarding page, I get the error “Connection timed out 110.” In DSM, the default gateway switches to LAN when the connection drops, even though the network interface shows that I’m still connected. I’ve tried changing servers and updating everything, but the problem persists. This is quite frustrating because when the connection drops, port forwarding with Download Station becomes ineffective, leaving me unprotected. If anyone has any ideas or solutions, I’d greatly appreciate your input. Thanks in advance for your help!

How do I prevent an IP leak when I use AIRVPN with my Synology NAS download manager and my VPN connection drops and reverts to my home IP. How would I be able to prevent the download station from downloading if the VPN drops connection? I've done it on the PC just dont know how I would do it on the DiskStation. Thanks In Advance
