Title: Problems using Electrum with a VPN Post by: stan.stan on March 05, 2015, 07:45:31 PM Hi guys , I am having some problems using Electrum with a VPN service. Whenever I run Electrum directly it connects and the indicator turns green, however when I start up my vpn (cyberghost) and then run Electrum, the indicator remains red and the status is displayed as "not connected". Please I would really appreciate if someone could tell me what I am doing wrong here. I want to create a new anonymous wallet on Electrum and I would like to use a VPN to do this . Thanks in advance.

I just decided to shut off my VPN and the problem was fixed. If you're interested in using Electrum anonymously, look into using Electrum over Tor. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=113116.0)
