![]() ![]() Since I will be running this single box system with VirtualBox and pfSense does this mean I can set up a VM pfSense to handle the dropped VPN connections to other VM workstations and not have to use a VPN firewall on the host OS? Anyone have any thoughts on Firestarter or UFW (default Ubuntu firewall) as compared to Adrelanos? I am currently trialing AirVPN and their recommendation for a linux VPN firewall is Firestarter. The reason I would like to turn it on and off at will is that I am still installing, configuring, and testing the system. I have not yet installed the init script for it.Īnyone know how to turn off the Adrelanos firewall? I cannot find the process running in the processes list, yet I know it's functioning as I do not get internet access without an openVPN connection. With great thanks to the Wilders community, I am on my way to setting up a more secure and private system.Ī special thanks to mirimir for the very generous logical/technical support and privacy guides he has provided.įollowing the privacy guides I have set up a Adrelanos VPN firewall, and am able to start it fine but I cannot figure out how to turn it off. ![]() Super paranoid like myself and one could use a pfsense firewall pc, which is correctly set up to block internet if VPN disconnects and also then further backed up with a VPN with inbuilt support like mullvad or VPN software that blocks internet/dns leaks is an even safer option The more advanced way round would be to replace your router with a tomato compatible router like the Asus RT-N16 which supports VPN and can disconnect your internet or build a dedicated pfsense firewall router from an spare or old or 2nd hand pc which can do the same but much better. Longer term, I'm looking for a solution to maximize WiFi throughput and have good stability on my phone or tablet.For ease of use and simplicity you can do what S.B mentioned if you find a VPN provider like mullvad, its own software protects against disconnections to the internet and DNS leaks.Īlso programs such as VPNetMon and VPNCheck (for windows) can also do the same thing they monitor your internet connection so fast that if your VPN was to disconnect it would block your entire internet.They also have features to close programs like IE/Chrome/firefox or your torrent app or any other app from accessing the net and can offer DNS leaks also. I am looking for some good advice on how to get my system stabilized in the short-term - maybe split the WiFi bands? so that my phone and tablet work stably with dropping WiFi. I believe that the BGW210 cable modem is assigning some sort of dynamic DNS and the multiple bands are causing trouble with the connections. To me this is not a good stable solution no matter what ATT says about it. It also comes back in the logs with "connection refused" On top of all of this, my AirVPN service refuses to connect to my new BGW210 ATT cable modem. If I turn off and on WiFi on my phone (or tablet) a few times it sometimes comes back for awhile, but then will be back off later. It will run for awhile then unexpectedly drop - phone sees the ATT SSID and attempts to connect to it, but the system says "connection refused" or sometimes I get "no DNS " type errors. What is extremely annoying to me is the usability of their WiFi system with my phone and tablet. WiFi is ok when it's working (170 to 220 mbps with Ookla) in my home. Switched from Cox (my own gear) to ATT (w/ their BGW210-700 fiber modem and a fiber connection to it) with their max Gigbyte plan.
