PT won't start with VPN enabled - Solved
Hi All,
After having detected several hacking attempts on my rig, I got a VPN (Express VPN). While I like it, Protools will not start when it's enabled. I can't tell if it's the Pace iLok stuff, Protools itself, or a plugin that's trying to phone home and can't. Anybody else seeing this? The remedy is to disable the VPN while it starts and then re-enable, but I'm paranoid that something is going to try to phone home in the middle of tracking. jeff Last edited by jeff markham; 01-22-2024 at 05:44 PM. |

Re: PT won't start with VPN enabled
I work on a VPN to my studio in NYC all the time. No issues. It is the stock Apple VPN client to a Cisco router though, not a service.

Re: PT won't start with VPN enabled
No problem here with Nord VPN, connected to a different time zone - launch PT, and run the demo song, all fine. I use a physical iLok, not iLok cloud.
I've got plenty of plug-ins, but clearly not used for the demo song. PT U 2023.12.1 MacOS 13.6.3 You could try installing Little Snitch or similar to see what's phoning home. Alternatively, try turning the network off completely and then launch PT.... Dominic

Re: PT won't start with VPN enabled
Ok .. I found a work-around .. thanks for the hint . I disabled the ExpressVPN control panel and setup using Tunnelblick using the OpenVPN settings ... and not it's working fine.
