    VPN Port Already In Use


    I use the built-in Windows VPN manager to connect to my work VPN. Now when I try to connect it says it cannot "The specified port is already open." This message stays the same after restart. So I don't think it is holding onto an orphaned process.If I delete the VPN connection and set it back up the same, I get the same message. However, if I change the connection name, it connects fine. Something about the specific connection name is causing a problem. I can use the same server name and sign-in info.Any ideas how I can figure out what is causing the problem or how to free up the port?I know I

    Hi everyone.

    AirVPN

    In contrast to all the big names such as IPVanish, TorGuard, Hide My Ass!, PIA etc, AirVPN has been the most useful in terms of performance, cost, privacy and service.

    • No torrent (or other format) throttling
    • No region/server locking
    • Full server stats live, with reports and repair ETAs
    • Packages include complete tunneling and multiple protocols
    • Can be setup for virtually any platform(including a easy to use Windows package)[also user guides exist for bespoke arrangements, such as pfSense, which I run]
    • Their website/user portal is very thorough and flexible. You can build custom VPN configuration files
    • Cost is extremely good for what you get
    • Service is often quick and prompt
    • Forums are active
    • They tick all the privacy qualifications, no record keeping
