does this also mean i need to enable every port and address in the ovpn file listed?
the nordvpn thing just lists one or two lines while the proton ovpn file has around 23 ips and different ports for one file…
That is why I allow the port to go to any IP. There are tons of IPs for some providers. How different ports are there?
I’ve got only one port in the .ovpn files so @dalto’s way seems like a better solution in my case instead of creating a rule for each IP. Just one rule to rule over them all.
It should be reasonably safe to do it that way as long as your vpn doesn’t use port 443 or something like that.
No it doesn’t! Thanks for the heads-up!
Edit: removed all the rules for specific IP adresses and just opened the vpn’s port to the outside world. Everything works. Thanks @dalto !
protonvpn ovpn has the port 443 and 80 three times listed with different ips.
Those you would want to lock down to the specific IPs
so for example port 3250, 4080 and 1223
would not need a specific rule so i just take the ip and say to any.
but wouldn’t that include the port 443 and 80 ?
i am a bit confused. and setting 23 rules for each profile if i want 4 in the ready takes a bit lol
My way of fixing this was always to not set a password to kwallet at all so when it asks you to create a password for the first time you just hit enter and leave it empty. i know it’s not the best way but its how i fix it
i fixed it by setting the same password as my account needs. so it gets unlocked when i log in as well. (mostly)
thanks for the suggestion
