Endless Connect Disconnect Reconnect loop 6.9.3 #348

Closed 3gem closed 2 years ago

3gem commented 2 years ago

Using 6.9.3 with Kodi 19 on xbain. Setup works fine. ExpressVPN will initially connect, but then falls into a loop disconnecting and reconnecting. I temporarily solved the issue by disabling "Reconnect if connection unexpectedly lost" under the "Monitor" tab. Once that is unchecked the connection remains consistent and tun0 stays up. If i re-enable it after the connection is up it drops back into the loop.

Need a debug log as per the wiki trouble shooting page. Don’t share a full kodi debug log

I've come across this as I've got a similar issue - constant disconnect using the add-on with PIA (which by default, results in the reconnect attempt). XBian OS on RPi3, service.vpn.manager=v7.0.0, killall=v23.4

The openvpn log has a few issues: 2021-12-26 22:09:28 /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf tun0 1500 1553 10.5.110.91 255.255.255.0 init 2021-12-26 22:09:28 WARNING: OpenVPN was configured to add an IPv6 route. However, no IPv6 has been configured for tun0 2021-12-26 22:09:28 add_route_ipv6(2000::/3 -> :: metric -1) dev tun0 2021-12-26 22:09:28 sitnl_send: rtnl: generic error (-95): Operation not supported 2021-12-26 22:09:28 ERROR: Linux IPv6 route can't be added 2021-12-26 22:09:28 WARNING: this configuration may cache passwords in memory -- use the auth-nocache option to prevent 2021-12-26 22:09:28 Initialization Sequence Completed

Not sure if IPv6 is actually the issue here, I disabled IPv6 using the following in /etc/sysctl.conf net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1 net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=1 net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6=1 net.ipv6.conf.eth0.disable_ipv6 = 1

There are no IPV6 addresses allocated and I've also disabled it in my router

ip addr: eth0: inet 192.168.1.181/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global eth0 tun0: inet 10.15.110.79/24 scope global tun0

Same issue seen running from command line.

Any pointers would be useful - I can't see to see any way of disabling this add_route_ipv6

See the comment above...you're assuming this is an IPV6 issue. From what little you've shared, I see a connection that completes. I don't see any of the issues you've described.

Thanks for the comment. What I see is the AddOn's UI pop-up constantly changing between connected/disconnected so this debug log is repeated constantly.

IPV6 may not be an issue but I do know is that my provider BT in the UK have IPV6 addressing but DNS is only IPV4. However, PIA runs perfectly well from the linux app.

I read here that trying to disable IPV6 leads to other issues. https://0xacab.org/leap/bitmask-vpn/-/issues/457

I'll re-enable back to default try some further debugging when I get a chance and report back.

Closing this, recreate on the latest build and provide a log if this really is still a problem.
