That isn't for me because my family uses the native ISP for "playing around".Īlso, you must have computer issues or ISP issues because I have not lost an Air connection even for a few seconds in the past 6 months. Lots of folks are using the router VPN approach. I have configured my ruleset to allow the 40+ servers to be accessed at will. I would say that I setup my global rules and tweaked them to my own personal criteria in under an hour. If you create a simple set of global rules using a defined strategy you would be amazed at how locked down you can get.

I remember that I used VPN clients in the past and I thought their disconnect protection was "all that"! Later I found the software client was full of other holes, namely DNS leaks and other issues. The firewall rules we put in place as per the many threads there, totally protect from VPN disconnects BUT also keep the tunnel locked down and eliminate DNS leaks, which is a huge risk to privacy/security. Its the OS and not any of the VPN's that are at fault.

Due to the nature of the windows OS it is a DNS leak disaster waiting to happen.

There are threads all over the Air forums describing how to secure the machines using firewall rules and for things WAY PAST simple VPN disconnects.
Unable to use internet without airvpn 64 Bit#
I use several machines but the one I am currently typing this post on is a 7 Pro 64 bit machine. I will state that I am a simple Air user and not affiliated otherwise. Upset, disappointed, and to tell you the truth, a little shocked!Įdit: I can't use Riseup in the same way that I use an ordinary VPN because I will use up too much bandwidth. I am wondering too, does Boleh block all connections when they are interrupted, like Crypthippie and Riseup? How about Mullvad? Does anyone know? I guess I need to look for another VPN. So why doesn't airVPN do this? Does it take some knd of special knowledge that they don't have? Is it really that difficult to do? I'm going to try it with Autistici too just to see, but I bet their VPN blocks all connections too when it's interrupted. So anyway, Xerobank blocked internet connections when the VPN was interrupted, Cryptohippie blocks all internet when the VPN is interrupted, and Riseup does the same. But if it disconnects and allows your true IP to go through, then that's just completely unacceptable. airVPN is fast, inexpensive, and has a lot of exit nodes. Plus, I like the idea of having different exit nodes to choose from. I am in a situation financially and I need to pull back, for now anyway. The reason that I switched to airVPN was becuase I didn't want to pay for a full year of Cryptohippie right now. I haven't tried this with Autistici yet, but I will. And sure enough, I had to manually disconnect Riseup and then reconnect t have internet again. I waited and tried again just to make sure. And guess what? No internet connection whatsoever. I connected and then turned off my internet for a couple of seconds. Out of curiosity, I decided to do an experiment with Riseup VPN. Otherwise you did not have internet service at all. In fact, you had to manually tell it to disconnect and then wait for it, and then reconnect again. So why is that? When I used Xerobank and my connection was interupted, the icon turned yellow and all of my internet was blocked, period.
So it can disconnect and reconnect again and you may never even know it. When airVPN disconnects, it just lets your bare connection right on through. But it was already connected prior to this. I see the little notification pop up saying that airVPN is now connected. And sometimes it disconnects and reconnects on it's own. And I can't help but wonder how many times has this happened and I didn't even notice it?Īlso, a few times I noticed that it disconnects altogether for no apparant reason. when I check the icon in the system tray it says that it is connected. But later on when I go to google to do a search, I am no longer in the Netherlands. As an example, I may connect to the Netherlands, I open my browser and Google shows that I am in the Netherlands. Recently, in the past month, I have noticed that sometimes I am not connected to the VPN even when airVPN says that I am connected. I suggest to anyone reading this, if you are serious about privacy, DO NOT use airVPN unless you know how to configure your firewall to block everything else. I guess I need to do this because it is not a reliable VPN otherwise. It has been recommended that I learn to set firewall rules to only allow connections through airVPN.
