I am very inexperienced - thank you in advance for your patience. Please advise on settings: I receive a "handshake timeout" error, regardless of which server I select. Here are two for example: . 2026.03.10 04:26:39 - Eddie version: 2.24.6 / linux_x64, System: Linux, Name: Fedora Linux, Version: 43 (KDE Plasma Desktop Edition), Framework: 6.8.0.96 (tarball Wed Jan 15 10:20:48 UTC 2020); Framework: v4.0.30319 . 2026.03.10 04:26:39 - Command line arguments (1): path.resources="/usr/share/eddie-ui" . 2026.03.10 04:26:39 - Raise system privileges . 2026.03.10 04:26:45 - Collect network information . 2026.03.10 04:26:46 - Reading options from /home/m/.config/eddie/default.profile . 2026.03.10 04:26:47 - OpenVPN - Version: 2.6.19 - OpenSSL 3.5.4 30 Sep 2025, LZO 2.10 (/usr/bin/openvpn) . 2026.03.10 04:26:47 - SSH - Version: OpenSSH_10.0p2, OpenSSL 3.5.4 30 Sep 2025 (/usr/bin/ssh) I 2026.03.10 04:26:47 - SSL - Not available . 2026.03.10 04:26:47 - Service systemd-resolved restarted . 2026.03.10 04:26:47 - Activation of Network Lock - Linux nftables I 2026.03.10 04:26:51 - Ready . 2026.03.10 04:26:53 - Collect information about AirVPN completed I 2026.03.10 04:27:00 - Session starting.

Could someone explain to me the possible reasons why this would be happening? I get timeouts quite regularly, especially when trying to download things at high speeds such as highly seeded torrents or games from steam. I have a 1GB/s connection
