The port-forwarding page was updated very recently (neat!) and there's now an option to test whether the port is open and reachable. I did test it: unreachable! Darn, I must've changed/enabled the firewall again. Disable it? No, I will show you the proper way how to configure Windows Firewall for port-forwarding. Screenshots attached below Go to "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Windows Firewall". You will see the Home/Work and Public networks. Find out which one is your OpenVPN connection to AirVPN (mine is properly named, yours will not be), preferably you should've set it as a public network like me. if the VPN connection is not classified as a public network, change it now. There's no reason to allow Windows to be promiscuous with the local services like printing and file sharing on the VPN network. Read what is says about incoming connections: "Block all connections to programs that are not on the list of allowed programs". We will need to change that On the left click "Advanced settings" (opens "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security") - OR skip steps 1,2: Press Win+R keys and run "WF.msc" You'll see the same thing as in 3: "Public profile is Active - Inbound connections that do not match a rule are blocked" and "Outbound connections that do not match a rule are allowed" This means we only need to create inbound rules to allow incoming connections (port-forwarding) [Allow Program] Go to "Inbound Rules" -> New Rule... Rule Type = Program, Next This program path = choose the program's .exe file. Like "C:\Gameserver\server.exe", NEXT For Minecraft that's either java.exe or javaw.exe in Program Files. Windows: cmd.exe and run "where java" to find out the path. The first line is your answer Action = Allow the connection, Next Profile = Check the profile where AirVPN adapter is (e.g. Public). You can select all three checkboxes, it's ok. Name = "MyServer (allow program)" Your new entry will appear at the top. When you next visit the settings, it will be sorted alphabetically. [Allow ports] Only doing (5) was not enough to get port-forwarding to work, I had to explicitly allow the ports. Go to "Inbound Rules" -> New Rule... Rule Type = Port, Next TCP/UDP (repeat these steps to enable TCP AND UDP with 2 different rules) Specific local ports: Enter the port from port-forwarding page. If you specified a different local port there, enter the local port in Firewall settings. Next Allow the connection, Next Profile = See above or check all Name = "MyServer (allow TCP _port#_) Repeat these steps to allow UDP Now port-forwarding should work and inbound connections be accepted by your server or content-sharing application. This guide was sponsored by windows 7 gang Final result (I forgot to allow UDP 1234 too) Go to Windows Firewall, click advanced settings (left): Create new Inbound rule to Allow program (step 5): Now the individual TCP/UDP ports (step 6)

Hi all, im getting network unreachable on my dd-wrt I don;t know what im doing wrong, but i did follow everything from here :https://airvpn.org/ddwrt/ I added the screenshots and the error code. lets hope some1 can help me regards 20180310 22:05:00 I TCP/UDP: Preserving recently used remote address: [AF_INET]213.152.161.180:1194 20180310 22:05:00 Socket Buffers: R=[172032->172032] S=[172032->172032] 20180310 22:05:00 I UDPv4 link local: (not bound) 20180310 22:05:00 I UDPv4 link remote: [AF_INET]213.152.161.180:1194 20180310 22:05:00 N write UDPv4: Network unreachable (code=128) 20180310 22:05:00 I Network unreachable restarting 20180310 22:05:00 I SIGUSR1[soft network-unreachable] received process restarting 20180310 22:05:00 Restart pause 300 second(s) 20180310 22:10:00 W WARNING: --ns-cert-type is DEPRECATED.

Greetings, I am attempting to forward a port through the client interface on the website to use for P2P. I choose TCP/UDP and a port, which was available, and it says it is forwarded. However, when I hit the button to "Check" the little light stays grey and says "Not reachable on server IP over the external port XXXXX, tcp protocol. Error : 110 - Connection timed out - Checked 0 seconds ago". I am connected to AirVPN at the time. I tried disabling Windows Firewall, which I can't imagine has anything to do with it, and also the SIP firewall on my router. Also have it set to open. Doesn't make a difference. I am also getting messages in Vuse that I am firewalled, even though I have set the static inbound port properly to what I forwarded on the website. Something clearly isn't happening but I am at a loss.
