Unable to Access Websites After Activating GnosisVPN

If you’ve activated GnosisVPN but cannot open any websites from the allow list, follow these steps to diagnose and resolve the issue:

Test Website Access

  • Double-check your Firefox proxy settings as outlined in step 12.
  • Navigate to example.com.

Can you access that site?

  • If yes, everything works as long as you adhere to the allow list.

Verify WireGuard Connection

  • Ensure that WireGuard is running on your machine and that the tunnel has an active status.
    • macOS users: Locate the WireGuard app icon in the top-right corner of the screen, click on "Manage Tunnels", and verify that the tunnel status is "Active".
    • Linux users: Run the command: sudo wg show. The output should display an interface named gnosisvpnpoc.

Do you see an active WireGuard tunnel?

  • If no, verify that you followed step 11 closely.

  • Check that WireGuard can establish a handshake.

    • macOS users: Locate the WireGuard app icon in the top-right corner, click on "Manage Tunnels", and check the "Data Received:" field of the active tunnel.
    • Linux users: Run the command: sudo wg show and locate either the latest handshake: or transfer: entries.

Do you see more than 0 B (zero bytes) received or a latest handshake entry?

  • If no, verify that you forwarded your ports correctly; see step 5.

Verify Hoprd Connection

On successful startup, GnosisVPN will display the following message:

    /---============================---\
    |   HOPRD CONNECTION ESTABLISHED   |
    \---============================---/

Did you see that message?

  • If no, check the log output for any errors.
  • Ensure you provided a valid entry node and API token in the configuration file.
  • Ensure you have a working route to the exit node; see step 8.
