Stuck on Requesting Data (2022)

[mr-canoehead]

I haven't used this project in some time, so I did a fresh install today to see if I could reproduce the problem you're encountering; yes, it's definitely broken. There seems to be an incompatibility between the latest versions of the Green Unicorn WSGI server and the Eventlet async handler.

I have encountered this issue before on another project and was able to resolve it by switching from 'eventlet' handlers to 'threading' in the gunicorn config + application server code. It's a minor change, so I modified my installation to get rid of the Eventlet dependency and now the web interface is working normally; I can see the vpn client gateway status, switch servers, etc.

I still need to do a bit more testing, and there may be some other issues to address as well (e.g. the 'Get IP address geolocation' tool seems to be broken). I hope to push the changes to a test branch later this week, and if all goes well merge it to the master branch this weekend.

I'll update this thread with my progress on the issue.

Thanks,
Chris

Ah so sorry for pulling you back in haha!

If you have any alternate lightweight versions that are awesome as this one, possible to recommend one?

An easy workaround for this issue is to install an older version of eventlet:

1. remove eventlet:
   sudo pip3 uninstall eventlet

2. install eventlet 0.30.2:
   sudo pip3 install eventlet==0.30.2

3. restart the application server:
   sudo systemctl restart vpncgw.service

After doing this on my test system the management web page functioned as expected.

Thank you for that! I think it worked.

I believe these were auto updated when I had the server running for about a year?

Is there a way to disable auto update or is that off by default?

I guess I wasted time reinstalling everything haha

@mr-canoehead I am also having an issue with DNS servers for PIA? It seems they keep changing it.

209.222.18.222 and 209.222.18.218 seems wrong and 1.1.1.1/8.8.8.8 may causee leaking.

Any other suggestions?

Any idea how to fix this or an alternative ??
sudo pip3 install eventlet==0.30.2 didnt work for me
