Hi, I currently have an old Laptop I am trying to use as an intermediary box between my main home network and my personal machines connected to a particular switch. I want these machines to be connected to the VPN at all times, from startup to shutdown, and to have protection from the network dropping, etc. I honestly tried using pfSense but I just could not wrap my head around it, even the default install when connected to my modem directly and a single test machine, could not even properly resolve DNS queries. So I gave up and threw mint on the laptop and enabled ICS instead. Works great, test box connected to it has internet, etc. Now the trouble comes when I want to use AirVPN. I can't use Network lock and I don't know how to resolve the issue in terms of letting me get my local machines access again. I've already verified AirVPN works over the ICS without the network lock on. I've very minorly futzed with trying to add "allowed IPs" and such in advanced options, but either didn't do it in the right place / correctly etc. Because it still blocks access. Could anyone help with some troubleshooting steps, where / how I need to change things? Thanks
