Troubleshooting Husarnet on Windows

I want to uninstall Husarnet completely and make the system forget the device

Typically, when you uninstall Husarnet and install it again, IPv6 address of the device is the same as previously, so our infrastructure is aware that this is the same device. In most cases it is OK. Sometimes however, something went wrong and we want to start anew completely. In this case, after uninstalling, you have to delete Husarnet data folder. On Windows, it will be %PROGRAMDATA%\Husarnet. By deleting this folder you clean up completely, i.e. you make it like Husarnet was never installed on your device.

Can't connect to Husarnet device by hostname, but by IPv6 it works

Hostnames of the devices in Husarnet network are stored in %WINDIR%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file in lines with # managed by Husarnet comment. They are modified automatically by the Husarnet Daemon. See if the hostname is present in hosts file.

Chrome and Chromium-based browsers don't use hosts file to resolve hostnames. Firefox should work ok.

How can I remove unused network interface created by Husarnet CLI? (Windows)

To remove unused network interface use Device Manager (You need admin permissions to do this).
