dev domains not accessible after i connect to my vpn client #524

Open valachi opened 8 years ago

valachi commented 8 years ago

After i connect to vpn through privateinternetaccess client i can't access .dev domain anymore. It fails with This webpage is not available ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED in Chrome.

It happens since yesterday when i installed a new version of a client just released.

I can access .dev domains only after i reboot my mac. Any idea what's going on behind the scenes every time i connect to vpn?

Same issue but this is almost certainly a problem with the PIA client. Running the following command fixes things for me after using PIA:

sudo pfctl -f /etc/pf.conf; sudo pfctl -e

So it looks like the PIA client is screwing up port forwarding.

@roybotnik fixes for me too, thanks!

Fixes for me too, thanks! That was a proper headscratcher for a bit, it appeared like pow was just randomly failing.

Related: I turned on back to my mac and it also caused this issue.

This fixed it for me as well. I believe what broke it was turning on "Internet Sharing" in System Preferences. I did that last night, and the last time I had a working .dev was before that.

Having the same issue. So it doesn't seem possible to run both PIA and pow at the same time.

I don't really understand how the PIA client works, but is it something they could potentially address, or is it something Pow could potentially address?

After talking with PIA support, they recommended trying a different OpenVPN client, as they support a couple.

I tried Viscosity, https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/pages/client-support/osx-viscosity and it seemed to work fine with Pow.
