Normally, you can just click your Network Manager Icon, Network Connections, and edit your local ISP connection, click the IPv4 tab, change method to "Automatic (addresses only)", and enter in 1,2,or 3 alternate DNS Server IP Addresses from a safe and secure DNS provider, It is a good idea for everyone to use alternate safe and secure DNS server IP addresses in your Local ISP connection anyway. Link to download HMA's VPN connection setup file for linux - "linux.zip"īefore creating a NEW VPN server connection (import VPN connection) to a specific HMA server location, you have to first update the DNS server IP addresses on your local ISP adapter's connection. Link to download HMA's VPN server - "vpn-configs.zip" The "/vpn/hma/vpn-configs/tcp" will have all 921 worldwide VPN server locations that you can connect to. The "/vpn/hma/linux/keys" folder contains the "ca.crt" (certificate), "hmauser.crt" (certificate), "hmauser.key" (key file) files required to connect to any of their VPN servers these are the same files to use for any of their VPN servers. You right click each one of these files, and choose "Extract Archive Here - autodetect subfolder". These files are "vpn-configs.zip" (has all their 921 world wide VPN servers using either TCP or UDP), and "linux.zip" which has the VPN connection configuration files: certificate and Key files for the VPN setup and configuration in Linux. You download their two files (see links below) into a HMA-VPN folder, like (/home/user/vpn/hma/). I think they also offer a limited free VPN service as well. HMA is a VPN provider that you have to pay for an account and get your login information, your User Name and Password. You start the VPN setup for HMA, like you would for most any other VPN provider. HMA web link on DNS settings "OpenDNS is the DNS service HMA! Pro VPN uses automatically." But, once that "nf" file is updated, their VPN servers work well. I do not know why adding those DNS server IP addresses to your local ISP connection (network interface adapter connection) through the Network Manager did not work for their service, or why they are even dependent on those 3rd party DNS server IP addresses? That seems unusual too me. They claim that the DNS name server IP addresses that they depend on from "openDNS" and "Google DNS", must be added to the "/etc/nf" file, if you get DNS errors after setting up their VPN servers. The HMA VPN provider requires using DNS server IP addresses from "OpenDNS" and "Google" in your local ISP connection. Then, after dealing with HMA tech support, and more experimentation, it now works. Once I had the correct login information, I was able to connect to various HMA VPN servers, but could not "surf the internet", or do anything on the Internet, just kept getting DNS errors. Turned out to be his Password was the first problem. I have been communicating with "newbie1010" through PM, and I could not connect to HMA VPN servers either. Hi "newbie1010", and Anyone else using HMA VPN,Īfter spending a lot of time, many hours over days, trying to figure out why your HMA VPN service was not working for you using the most secure "openVPN" protocol, I finally have a solution that works regardless whether your firewall is enabled, as it should be.
