Just as the title states, I connect to the VPN and I’m unable to pull up a webpage. There’s a DNS communication related error that’s thrown into the mix after connecting to the VPN.
Is’nt AVAST’s VPN supposed to be configured already? It kind of rustles my jimmies that I have to configure the VPN prior to it’s usage. Or perhaps I’m missing something rather obvious? At any rate, if anyone has a solution, I’d appreciate it.
Not sure, just a thought.
You could check your Firewall, make sure all VPN components/service etc. are being allowed.
Yep - AVAST and all of its services are allowed. I hit the connect button for the VPN and same results.
This is the message I receive:
The server at “Website” can’t be found, because the DNS lookup failed. DNS is the network service that translates a website’s name to its Internet address. This error is most often caused by having no connection to the Internet or a misconfigured network. It can also be caused by an unresponsive DNS server or a firewall preventing Google Chrome from accessing the network.
Point is, I should be able to hit “Connect” and the VPN should already be ready to rock and roll. The issue is with the VPN solely; its the guesswork of which settings need to be tinkered that I’d rather not do.
Problem solved. Here’s what I did:
Computer → Program Files → AVAST Software → Avast → OpenVPN → driver → win64 → ndis6
Executed the batch files along with tapinstall application, after that all problems were solved.
Kinda crappy I had to manually do this while paying $59.99+ for a service I’d expect to install its own drivers.
Glad to see you solved your issue.
Interesting however as I’ve used Secureline for a few years and installed/reinstalled the module multiple times and never had an issue.
Something must have prohibited the driver installation. ???
Anyway , good to see.
