AirVPN over Tor

[chewy74 2]

Hi, I've been using AirVPN over Tor for added security while browsing for a while without any issues. I recently updated my Tor browser to the latest version 3.6.2 and now AirVPN is not connecting.

 

I haven't changed any settings so I'm not sure if the update requires a settings tweak? Or if it's something else.

 

Here are the logs

Thanks for the help

Your thread title is backwards.  It should read:  Airvpn over TOR.

 

I was getting ready to help out because I use TOR over Airvpn as my config of choice.  Unfortunately I have zero experience in reverse.  I use my method because I don't want my ISP to see me on TOR.

Hello,

 

from the logs it appears that the TOR proxy is either not running or not listening to localhost:9150. Another option is that a firewall is blocking OpenVPN packets to/from localhost.

 

Kind regards
