VPN issue


Recommended Posts

EDIT: I'm an idiot and never checked off my PC after doing this. Though the log file errors still concern me, I am now behind a VPN on my PC. Is there anything I should still be concerned about with those errors or am I just being a dingus?

 

Hey guys, I just got the netduma because I've been getting DDoSed and needed a switch to both change my IP and to get some proper protection.

 

I got PIA and have been trying to get it working for a few hours now, tried resetting the box a few times, factory renew, testing multiple bits of code, but still having no luck in getting anywhere.

 

It says it is connected, but my log file shows several issues and it definitely is not putting me behind a VPN. I could paste it here but I'm not sure if anything in the file is something that shouldn't be posted on a public forum.

 

If it helps the beginning reads: 

 

Wed Jan 27 14:21:20 2016 WARNING: file '/tmp/vpncred' is group or others accessible
Wed Jan 27 14:21:20 2016 NOTE: the current --script-security setting may allow this configuration to call user-defined scripts
Wed Jan 27 14:21:20 2016 UDPv4 link local: [undef]
 
There's a few more lines but it seems like they are IP related.
 
The config I used last is:
 
client
dev tun
proto udp
remote us-newyorkcity.privateinternetaccess.com 1194
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun

Would anyone by chance have any idea what is wrong? And if it's safe to post it I'd be more than happy to post the full error log.

 

Thanks for any and all support! Look forward to trying this thing out good and proper.

That configuration should work correctly.

Make sure you enter your credentials correctly as well :)

EDIT: For some reason it seems like disabling the geo-filter once it let it work just fine, I have no idea why but I won't complain!

 

Actually I've encountered a new issue: It seems that I cannot connect to Skype anymore ever since installing netduma. Whether I have the VPN enabled or not.

 

I'm not too sure what the problem is, as I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program as well. I simply get "Sorry, we couldn't connect to Skype." with a sad face at the launch window.

 

Did I break something?

Glad to see your original issue is solved. 

 

In terms of the log, I wouldn't worry about it if you can confirm when enabling the VPN that your IP does change. 

 

For the Skype issue, another person encountering the same issue said that this fixed the issue:

 

 

 

go to internet explorer, tools, advanced settings and then click reset

Thank you kindly!

 

I actually, somehow I know, surprisingly have hit another snag on my journey to understand this router.

 

I've been trying to figure out how to properly enable VPN exceptions for games on my computer that are not source game or the like (I play a ton and it's a challenge to figure even one out).

 

Honestly I really only need the VPN to be enabled for Skype, as that's my main need for protection. Is that at all possible? (I'm trying not to make even more posts for this to avoid flooding the board, my apologies)

It isn't possible to only select one service to go through the VPN, at the moment you can only exclude things from the VPN. This is something that could possibly be added in the future :)

You'll have to find the ports that the specific game you're playing uses so then you can put it through as an exception so you're not getting an additional latency from the VPN.

You have to subscribe to a the HideMyAss VPN service. If you go with another service it is a little more difficult. Then you have to set it up under the advanced setting tab under the VPN page.

Ok. If you got the username and password it should work. Only other thing I can think of is make sure it's not case-sensitive and there is no delay from the time you subscribe and when your subscription is active. Also there are other active members who have this service as well and they may have some suggestions.
