@OP

I'm seeing the same problem running pfSense. Cryptofree works fine, paid nodes either aren't passing traffic through them or aren't handling DNS lookups.

So, is there a solution?

@Bob

Yes, but there is nothing you or I can do.

The issue is with the exit nodes, so staff have to investigate and fix it. FYI, Cryptofree is working perfectly well, which points to an issue specific to the main nodes.

Quick update. Staff have identified the specific issue and are in the process of updating and restarting the affected nodes.

[vpn_newbie]

yup, smooth sailing, thank you again for your time and input

Still not working using linux-canadaeast.cstorm.pw

Works with linux-netherlands.cstorm.pw but deathly slow

Please advise - thanks

@scookie

Staff have patched the quietest nodes first, since it will cause the least amount of disruption. It could be that they haven't got to Canada East yet. Netherlands might be slow because everyone piled onto it.

Canada East is now working - thanks!
