Have you downloaded their Wireguard VPN configuration files or are you trying to use the OpenVPN files? If so, unfortunately that won't work.

Make sure you remove the Private key and the public key before posting it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diafanos Posted August 23, 2022 Author Share Posted August 23, 2022 I tried this with another server and it shows that i have been connected but it seems that doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 23, 2022 Administrators Share Posted August 23, 2022 Doesn't work in what way, doesn't change your IP? How have you added your device to the VPN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diafanos Posted August 23, 2022 Author Share Posted August 23, 2022 I added the device to the VPN Traffic tab. Strange thing: I rebbot the router and it seems that i connected to the server (I test it in "What's My IP Address") but now i have no inernet 🤪🤪🤪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 23, 2022 Administrators Share Posted August 23, 2022 No internet on all devices or just that device? Do you get internet back if you disable the VPN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 23, 2022 Administrators Share Posted August 23, 2022 Thanks for that, so just to clarify, you can check online that your IP address has changed, so Google/IP check website works but no other sites?

diafanos Posted August 23, 2022 Author Share Posted August 23, 2022 yes. This forum also works (and some other websites...) but there are sites that dont load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diafanos Posted August 23, 2022 Author Share Posted August 23, 2022 I tried a speedtest via my ps5 and shows that has internet but it can't connect to Playstation Network. It fails to show my download speed but it shows my upload speed. how crazy is that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 23, 2022 Administrators Share Posted August 23, 2022 Okay interesting, on the VPN Setup panel click the icon and you should see options for DNS, for IPv4, enter your VPN DNS in there: 162.252.172.57 149.154.159.92 then apply, and see whether everything then works please.

diafanos Posted August 23, 2022 Author Share Posted August 23, 2022 Same result. There is room only for 1 DNS(i put the first one). I reboot and noticed that the router puts the DNS to the IPv6 DNS Server(without dots.) I erase it but still the same... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 23, 2022 Administrators Share Posted August 23, 2022 Could you disable Adblocker please and see if the other sites load? That's the only thing that could be blocking website specifically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diafanos Posted August 23, 2022 Author Share Posted August 23, 2022 It was already disabled... My Tv has no internet also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 23, 2022 Administrators Share Posted August 23, 2022 Given it is working for some websites/services I suspect that others have blocked the VPN IPs and that is why you cannot access the services. Use another server and you'll have a new IP and that may work, otherwise it might be best to try another provider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diafanos Posted August 23, 2022 Author Share Posted August 23, 2022 ok.. I will try that. Thank you very much for your answers!!!!! You guys are the BEST!!! Netduma Fraser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
