I'm wondering how to go about removing this so when I open my laptop or turn on my laptop I wont need to enter in my password every time and the program can actually auto start on boot, TIA (also I'm using Eddie)

Hi, I'm on Linux Mint 21.1 and I've installed the Eddie client (version 2.21.8, installed via apt). When I open the Eddie window, I can use it to connect to the VPN, but if I close the window, it closes the VPN connection. I would expect the connection to stay up when the client window is closed. Is there any way to do that? I've looked it up and it doesn't seem to be a common issue. If this is a normal feature of Eddie, would switching to a CLI client solve the problem? Or would I need that terminal window to stay up as well? Thanks! Edit : I found the answer, im putting it here in case other people have the same question : simply right-click the tray icon and select "hide main window", very easy

Hey guys Long term user of AirVPN here. I love it, never EVER had any issues with it. I currently use on a media server that sits in the corner of a room. No monitor, etc. I use TeamViewer to connect to the machine (Peppermint Linux) and connect Eddie. When I activate the network lock, over TeamViewer, the connection stays up and I can click the "Connect to recommended server" no problem. However, when I'm finished, and I disconnect Eddie, the TeamViewer connection drops and I cannot use it to deactivate the network lock (clearly because the network lock has stopped TeamViewer from connecting) My questions are: Why doesn't activating the network lock block TeamViewer before connecting (although I'm not overly fussed about knowing why) Is there a way of telling the network lock to allow connections from the LAN? At least if TeamViewer dropped off, I could then perhaps SSH in from another machine and deactivate the network block, for instance Anyway, its a pure annoyance, and not really AirVPN's fault - its doing its job. I'd just like to know if there is a solution, currently I have to hard reset the server when it happens (I could turn on the monitor but more often than not, it doesn't receive a signal from the graphics card - dodgy GVX card I think) I'm using Eddie 2.19.7 Thanks in advance, uwu73

Hi guys! So I am attempting to setup my Transmission bittorrent client with Transdrone (Transdroid) app on Android. I want to be able to use this android remote app to connect to my desktop (where Transmission is running) while I am connected to this VPN. So I: 1) Connected to a server (say Server A). 2) Configured port forwarding on AirVPN's site (AirVPN > Client Area > Forwarded ports). Let's say I forwarded port 7712 and 7713. 3) Logged into Transmission and set port 7712 as the Incoming port (Transmission > Preferences > Network) and made sure 'Pick a random port at startup' was unchecked. 4) Allowed remote access (HTTP) from port 7713 and configured username/password authentication. Made sure 'Only allow these IP addresses' was unchecked. 5) Then set my firewall to allow incoming connections from port 7712 and 7713 (TCP). * I DID NOT log into my router and configure port forwarding for these ports (or any for that matter). When I hit the 'Test Port' button (Transmission > Network) to test port 7712, it says 'Port is OPEN'. Cool. ----- So what is my post about? Well there are some instructions on this page that confuse the heck outta me: https://airvpn.org/faq/p2p/ I do not understand what is being communicated here... "If you forward a port for a p2p torrent client, do NOT remap it to a different local port and make sure that the torrent client port matches the remotely forwarded port number" - What is meant by "do not remap it to a different local port"? Am I supposed to log into my router and setup port forwarding for port 7712 & 7713? "do NOT forward on your router the same ports you use on your Bittorrent or eMule client (or any other listening service) while connected to the VPN" - Doesn't this contradict the previous instruction? What is the correct way to configure port forwarding so that my P2P client will work with my android remote app? (and seed)
