Connectivity issues
Posted: Fri Nov 03, 2017 12:33 am
Hi,
I'm having a strange connection problem... I use VPN on my router and also on my Windows 10 computer. If I connect the VPN on my router first and then try to connect via Viscosity, I can't access the internet (Windows 10 troubleshooting tells me something about proxy settings that couldn't be detected automatically - although I don't actually use a proxy). If I turn off the VPN on the router and establish the VPN via Viscosity, it'll work fine. If, after getting Viscosity going, I turn on the router VPN as well, it'll still work fine. If I disconnect Viscosity and try to connect it again, I will get no connection.
My guess is that I'm having this problem since the last Viscosity update.
Oddly, if I configure Viscosity to use OpenVPN 2.3 instead of 2.4, I have no issues whatsoever.
Any idea what's going on? All servers are running OpenVPN 2.4.
(Also, is there any security issue with using OpenVPN 2.3 in the interim?)
Thanks!
