"Unable to Connect" This Morning [FIXED]

[ableounceony 6]

EDIT:  It now seems to be working.  PfSense just released 2.4.4_1 and I updated to it from 2.4.4.  So, I don't know if it was a timing issue or if the update fixed it.

 

OP:  I've been using AirVPN with only a few problem for over a year.  This morning, on two phones (using OpenVPN Connect for Android) and a Windows computer (using Eddie) I am unable to connect to AirVPN servers if my pfSense box is the firewall/router providing the wireless connection.  If I leave the house, the devices connect just fine.  Is anyone else having this kind of trouble?  Did AirVPN change something overnight?

 

The information in the logs is fairly useless  Eddie will pop up a dialog box saying:

 

"Unable to contact provider AirVPN to obtain bootstrap information...."

 

It then loops through a mess of system identifying information and ends with something like Connection Failed.  I've now shut off the Network Lock and Auto Login and it's cycling through:

 

- Ready

- Cannot retrieve systems & servers data (curl: (28) Connection timed out after [x] milliseconds)

- Updating systems & servers data...

- Cannot retrieve systems & servers data (same curl stuff)

- ...

 

OpenVPN for Android keeps looping through:

 

- Connecting to [199.249.223.132]:443 (199.249.223.132) via UDPv4

- Server poll timeout, trying next remote entry

- New OpenVPN Status (RECONNECTING> LEVEL_CONNECTING_NO_SERVER_REPLY_YET).

- New OpenVPN Status (RECONNECTING> LEVEL_CONNECTING_NO_SERVER_REPLY_YET).
