I have used Mysterium before “Dark” was a thing. I had a Linux machine with the old mysterium, working nicely. For one reason or another I stopped using it. I still have MYST credits there.
I recently returned to try to use it again. Then I got to meet Mysterium Dark, oh boy. I installed it now in a Windows 11 new machine and top it up with Ethereum coin. More than the required minimum MYST.
I have disable other NICs, and left enable only my wireless one. A new NIC is added every time I try to connect, a wireguard tunnel called Myst. to no avail… nothing, nada
Unfortunately I have never seen it connecting to anything… all I see is timeouts.
I also use two other, job related and customer provided VPNs, they work well under exactly the same circumstances. I travel often and will test it with hotels and airports wifis soon, but my home network is fast and seems to play nice with other VPNs.
I have tried to connect to UK, to Canada and other few countries. Unsuccessfully.
Manual, cloudfare or automatic, it doesn’t matter. I have tried with and without pihole, with my provider’s DNS, the handy dandy 1.1.1.1 and 1.1.1.2 DNS and even the old and faithful 8.8.8.8 but nothing seems to help it.
Any ideas on what I am missing here? three days and a lot of reading/testing and I have not been able to make it work. I mean, its not free…
