Right... I couldn't find definitive answers by searching in the forum, so I wonder if you guys could help.

 

Why does AirVPN connect to Amazon servers when it starts up?

 

I am unable to access my NAS drive via ethernet with Network Lock enabled. How do I access it without disabling NL?

 

Why is AirVPN under Public Network and not Home Network?

 

Thanks

Why is AirVPN under Public Network and not Home Network?

 

"Whenever you connect to a network, a network location needs to be selected. Windows based on this selection assigns a network discovery state to the network. To make it simple: Network discovery affects if a computer can be seen and see other computers on the network." (Source)

 

I'd rather configure it as a public network, since AirVPN is a public service. Wouldn't want those lookups to be a possible attack vector on a Windows machine if shit hits the fan over at the datacenter - or in case of a misconfiguration. Unlikely but, well.. Germans say, "Vorsicht ist die Mutter der Porzellankiste" ("Better safe than sorry", more or less).

Thanks for your help guys. I am still trying to figure out how to access my external storage via LAN without disabling Network Lock. I am assuming WFP is blocking access to it. Is there a way to do it?

Eddie is supposed to allow LAN traffic even with network lock on, there are settings for it.  Maybe you disabled them?  If not, I suggest you open up a support ticket and give them logs.
