R1 Restarting and VPN "hide my ass" WTF?


Recommended Posts

Posted

OK so I was browsing the web when I heard the familiar beep of the R1 rebooting all by itself.

After a minute I went into settings and had a look at what had happened, The router had kept some of the settings but lost all my devices, and allowed (white listed friends) put my home in the USA (I live in the UK) and lost all my anti flood settings as well.

After a little more investigation I looked at the VPN page which had all my devices on it and had me connected to a VPN called "Hide my Ass"

Anybody care to elaborate on what the hell has just happened? lol

Hi Bagsta, not sure about some of the stuff that happened, but I think that Hide my Ass thing has always been there.. I think Zennon mentioned in a previous post that it should be disabled and the click apply. Hope that helps :)

Cheers macca, as I don't run a vpn I did just that, not sure if that could have been the cause of the reboot though.

I can't understand why it kept my pp0e settings but reset everything else including speeds ???

Hopefully just a one off glitch :)

I have seen many members have the VPN enabled with no user intervention, my own has done this in the past, something for Iain to look at.

Well I'm out of ideas then :P

 

Overheating?

Nah it's in a well ventilated cool place, the windowsill in the hallway. About 17 degrees C

Let us know if it reboots again. I think the VPN defaults to ticked for some reason. It's not actually connected to HMA as a subscription/user/pass is required.

It's always been that way. It's always "ticked" by default. I "untick" it, but it goes right back to ticked! Because of my OCD, this drives me nuts!

When you untick it you need to click apply for it to disconnect :)
