Hi, I'm trying to understand how to SSH into a server (like a DO droplet with Ubuntu 20.04, headless), and then activate the VPN. Would I get immediately disconnected? Can I a) make an exception so that only SSH avoids the VPN (like split tunnel?) b) Could I use port forwarding to open port back to my port 22, and assuming I can find the correct IP, I can then do like $: SSH user@airvpnIP -p 65536 ... knowing this goes back to port 22?? tl;dr I don't want my server's IP exposed, but want to SSH into it and run a VPN PS how do I install and run in Ubuntu using Bash only, can't find an easy guide for this?

setup: headless ubuntu 14.01 command: sudo /usr/bin/airvpn -cli -login='xxxx' -password='xxxxx' -connect -netlock problem: my subscription lapsed and when disconnected the netlock didn't work. got about 10 torrent dmca warnings. lol i have also seen this problem one other time. I noticed that when i had no download limit set on my torrent app and it reached a certain limit my connection would die. Im guessing on the server side. I set a limit of 9mb down and that fixed it. When it would disconnect again the netlock didn't work. I know the root of the problem is my procrastination but it would be cool if the netlock still protected me.

I am running a headless ubuntu server v16.04 on raspberry pi, everything works fine. Now I am trying to setup openvpn client with AirVpn, can anybody provide some instructions on how to do it ?

I've downloaded the mono version of the AirVPN client to run on my Raspberry Pi, but I seem to be having an issue getting it up and running on my Arch Linux Arm installation. The problem appears to be that the AirVPN client passes a bad parameter or parameters to my local OpenVPN binary. Unfortunately, I cannot use the OpenVPN binary distriuted with the mono client, as it is not suitable for the ARM architecture. The client also straingely appears to refuse to read certain configuration parameters from my profile, but that is a secondary concern for the time being. The command line invocation, application startup, and profile options are included below. Please note that although the application appears to be using the binaries with which it was distributed, these have been replaced with symlinks to my system's binaries. I'd be happy to provide any additional information, and thanks in advance for any assistance! /usr/local/etc/airvpn/system.xml <options> <option name="areas.blacklist" value="de,us" /> <option name="executables.openvpn" value="/usr/bin/openvpn" /> <option name="executables.ssh" value="/usr/bin/ssh" /> <option name="executables.ssl" value="/usr/bin/stunnel" /> <option name="openvpn.custom" value="/usr/bin/openvpn" /> </options> /usr/bin/mono /opt/airvpn_linux_x86_mono/AirVPN.exe -cli -profile=/usr/local/etc/airvpn/system.xml Oct 29 00:46:57 lanvpn mono[19286]: I 2014.10.29 00:46:57 - AirVPN client version: 2.7, System: Linux, Architecture: Unknown Oct 29 00:46:58 lanvpn mono[19286]: . 2014.10.29 00:46:58 - Reading options from /usr/local/etc/airvpn/system.xml Oct 29 00:46:59 lanvpn mono[19286]: I 2014.10.29 00:46:59 - Press 'X' to Cancel, 'B' to reconnect to the best available server.
