Hello, I've tried AirVPN now on my desktop and am very pleased with the experience so i wanted to pursue my main goal with AirVPN: My ISP uses CGNAT so i have no public IPV4 adress. My plan was to setup a Ubuntu Server VM that acts as a gateway to AirVPN for my plex server (which currently isn't available outside of my network thanks to CGNAT). I've read elsewhere that i needed to tunnel the IPV4 application (plex) to IPV6 using the program 6tunnel. My first step was to install openvpn and launch the TCP.ovpn file, SSH is telling me: "Initialization Sequence Completed", now I'm stuck at connecting to the gateway (and maybe configuring it as one?) and tunneling the IPV4 traffic of the VPN and Plex to IPV6. I've also just discovered the advanced mode of the config file generator and am a bit overwhelmed. Should I use "IPV4&IPV6 (connect with IPV6) and which ports? I think my current config files where normal IPV4 so that's probably why it only worked on my desktop with eddie. Your help is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

Hi. When connected to an AirVPN-server through a VPN-router... Are there any fixed IPs on the VPN-server that can be used to ping for monitoring the quality of the VPN connection (RRD graphs etc)? I used to be able to use 10.x.0.1 but they do not seem to respond to pings anymore. What is the correct IP to use for this purpose? Kind regards,

On my home network, I have a public IP and run a few public services (email server, web, etc). These have no need for AirVPN. On the other hand, all of my client computers I would like to run through AirVPN (laptop when I fire it up, tablets, desktop, etc). I am thinking the easiest way to do this is to set up one box (a virtual machine) running as an alternate gateway on my network that is always connected to AirVPN. I could statically assign addresses and gateways to my servers, but then allow DHCP to route all client traffic through this alternate gateway (and thus through AirVPN). My question, has anyone done this successfully. If so how? I dont want to set up my router to connect to the VPN since I need to have services run through it from my ISPs static IP. I could run just about any flavor of linux or windows to get this to work if someone has a proven method. I found a link to a similar project on the OpenVPN site, but the directions seem to be incomplete. I build three separate VMs trying to get it working, no luck.

Hi, Thanks for a great VPN service. I've been using the Windows client so far with no problems. However, I recently bought an Asus RT-N16 router for the purpose of bridging with the router upstairs, in order to get a wired Internet connection downstairs. This worked out well. I also wanted to use openVPN on the router downstairs using tomato (shibby), but I've run into a problem. In the howto article it says I have to change the DNS servers under basic/networking, but the problem is as the router is bridged to the router upstairs, the gateway and first DNS address is the LAN address to the router upstairs. I've tried setting up openVPN without changing the DNS settings, but it didn't seem to work very well (at all). Is it possible to use openVPN on a tomato router that is bridged to another router that it gets the internet access from?

I've been through the ringer on this problem. OpenVPN worked fine for a week, then one day it stopped and it hasn't worked since. I'm using Open VPN 2.3.2 x64, but I've tried 2.2.2 as well as the AirVPN client, all with the same behavior. In short, OpenVPN connects successfully, but as soon as the connection is established my continuously running pings to google begin giving "request timed out." No traffic to any destination succeeds. There is no gateway set for the tunnel adapter, so I suspect this to be the problem. I have tried adding the "route-method exe" line to the config file, as well as "route-delay 5" or "route-delay 10 30". I have uninstalled OpenVPN, including the TAP adapters, and reinstalled multiple versions. I am running OpenVPN GUI as Administrator. I have ensured the NetMan and RasMan services are set to automati. Only when I disconnect from the VPN does my traffic begin flowing again. I can ping my own TAP-adapter IP address, of course, but cannot ping anything else near that address, as indicated by the subnet mask, including the DHCP server that gave me my address. Once again, there is no gateway specified. So what's the deal?
