Hi, A couple of VPN clients on Android have quick launch items available for connect so it's just to pull down and connect in the same way as enabling airplane mode or battery saver. I really miss this feature for Eddie which I have running at all times but have to disconnect and reconnect often for various readiness, Quick launch for Eddie please!

I run Windows 7. From one day to the other AirVPN seems to be stuck in a loop trying to connect to a server, disconnecting and trying another server address. I rolled my Window 7 back to another starting point and than it worked. Because the rollback did not fully work, issues in Windows Outlook 2013, I rolled it back to a more recent point, 22-11-2018. Than everything was fine again but connecting AirVPN was stuck again in the same loop. I discovered that there was a recent Windows update with some safety crap from Office 2013 and 2 Windows defender safety updates. I d-installed the office 2013 updates but the Defender updates didn't show so I could not get rid of it. Windows defender is off in settings. I downloaded the newest version AirVPN 2.17.2 (thanks Giganerd) but still. I don't know what the issue is but I suspect that Windows closed a "loophole" for AirVPN to connect, I'm not a computer wiz so please not to complicated answers please. Buy the way I eddied this post because at first I just had a AirVPN log file. You can see this as a attachment down the page.

Hey all, today I encountered a problem with my airvpn. Whenever I try to connect, the application says connecting to [server name] and then starts flushing dns. I've tried reinstalling and manually connecting to a different server. Neither of these things worked. Can anyone help me?

I use Viscosity to connect to another OpenVPN server without issues, but when I import the .ovpn file for AirVPN and start browsing, the IP I'm connecting from shows my local IP, not the VPN. Occasionally it will switch, but most of the time I'm not actually routing traffic through the VPN as far as I can tell. Is there a config I'm missing or something?

I noticed it saying in the log I have windows NT, but I have windows 7 home premium sp1.
