New IP isn't recognized when reconnecting OpenVPN
Hey guys,
I am using a full OpenVPN tunnel to my universitys network which gives me a new external IP everytime (My whole internet traffic runs through this tunnel). I created a script which automatically closes the existing connection and "redials" in order to receive a new IP. Unfortunately Jdownloader doesn't notice the new IP. To be more precisely it doesn't detect the termination of my reconnection script (I guess) which is done within aprox 25 seconds (Instead the counter just continues and nothing else happens). I am using a compiled .exe which I tried to enter in Reconnect -> External / Reconnect -> Batch (one at a time). Jdownloader executes the .exe in both scenarios. The .exe terminates the "old" connection and afterwards creates a new OpenVPN connection which "resides inside a dos-prompt" until this dos-prompt is closed (-> connection closed). My guess is that Jdownloader waits for the dos-window to exit even though it's a separate process called by the external .exe I created. The checkip.dyndns.org service displays the correct old external IP before and the new external IP after the reconnect in my browser. What can I do about this ? Please help me, I just wasted half of my weekend Thank you. Last edited by w4r; 27.07.2009 at 22:03. |
