Configuration initialization failed during startup #167

Open TingjiaInFuture opened 4 weeks ago

TingjiaInFuture commented 4 weeks ago

Describe the bug If connected to another VPN before startup, Windscribe will work properly after disconnecting from the other VPN. Conversely, directly opening Windscribe causes a connection failure regardless of the server chosen.

OS and app information:

Expected behavior If the configuration initialization succeeds during startup, Windscribe will connect to servers smoothly.

Additional context This bug occurs in previous versions of the app. In area with severe internet censorship.

Establishing an emergency connection before startup should resolve this issue, as provided during registration.

Hi. A couple questions:

TingjiaInFuture commented 4 weeks ago

Of coz @bernerdad

TingjiaInFuture commented 3 weeks ago

It's the "windscribe service"!

It's the "windscribe service"!

Can you elaborate on this? Why do you feel the windscribe service is causing this issue?

TingjiaInFuture commented 3 weeks ago

Cuz it starts on boot by default. And restart after terminating it until VPN connect was set up helps.

Specifically, once a connection is successfully established with any node using any protocol, it is possible to switch to other nodes and connect successfully. Therefore, I suspect that the server configuration file was not successfully initialized before the connection. @bernerdad
