Do not run a VPN at the same time as CADpass.

You cannot run CADpass Classic (old CADpass) at the same time.

For Windows

If AppGate cannot get an IP address for the Tunnel (an error will appear like blinking lines in AppGate window).

Solution:

We have recently observed that an update to HP software has caused these computers to detect virtual Ethernet adapters such as the OpenVPN TAP adapter to be detected as physical Ethernet adapters. When WLAN switching is activated in the BIOS, this will cause WiFi to be disconnected on these devices whenever the VPN is activated.

  • Start Task Manager.
  • Find LANWANswitching.exe
  • Kill it / stop it from running
  • Then try to connect using PIA

To resolve the issue permanently, it is necessary to prevent the service from starting when you run your PC. Try the following:

  • Press Windows+R, type services.msc and press Enter.
  • Search for a service called “HP LAN/WLAN/WWAN Switching UWP Service” or “LanWlanSwitchingService”
  • Right-click the service, and select Properties.
  • Change the startup type to Manual.
  • Click Apply.

If AppGate cannot get an IP address for the Tunnel (an error will appear like blinking lines in AppGate window); then a possible problem could be the AppGate driver not working with secure boot enabled (usually effects VM’s running on Hyper-V).
