Eddie 2.24.6, macOS 15.6.1 on MacBook Pro M4 Pro When I startup Eddie, I get the usual prompt to login with my macOS User and Password. When I enter User and Password and click OK, Eddie launches and everything works as expected. However, I noticed that when I do not enter my Password in that screen and instead just quit Eddie: Eddie crashes: This can be reproduced: everytime I quit Eddie during the Password prompt from macOS, I get the same crash as seen in the screenshot ... Just wanted to bring this to attention. -

Yeah, I wondered why you were asking about seedboxes here. I think you can understand why I'm confused considering how similar the names. Especially when I've never even heard of that VPN. But all's well for now I know to avoid talking to you in the future.

What a What are you talking about? I am referring to the VPN service Seed4Me, not the torrenting service. 🤦🏻♂️

What OS are you using?

I don't think it has anything to do with binding the torrent. Are you on MacOS? A lot of users with MacOS seem to be complaining about not being able to connect to any server.

Hi Fcknzs, I am on the same boat as you are. I guess that you should stay with Eddie 2.21.8. The method mentioned in the link... I don't know if it works with High Sierra. Before that method came out, I was told by Staff that there is an incompatibility between Wireguard and OSX 10.13.6 (and Wireguard became the "de facto" protocol). But the other thing I found, was that Hummingbird was also not working with the new Eddie version, which would have been a good alternative. So went back to the previous stable version where the old version of Hummingbird works. Haven't tried if the solution mentioned in the link at least helps with Hummingbird or not. If someone can correct me I would be glad to be wrong. Hope it helps.

While I love that you continue to support OpenVPN would you please reconsider a few WireGuard‑only 10–20 Gbit servers to quantify the uplift for users who prioritize raw speed and low latency? It’s my understanding that OpenVPN server processes are single‑threaded and CPU‑intensive. Co‑hosting OpenVPN and WireGuard on the same high‑capacity host (10–20 Gbit) can constrain aggregate throughput under load because per‑core bottlenecks caps per‑host headroom when many OpenVPN clients are active. In cities where you have multiple 20 Gbit servers like New York dedicating one to Wireguard doesn't seem unreasonable? Thank you for your consideration.

Thanks for the feedback. I ended up figuring it out myself and was a simple oversight in the config settings I had when setting up the OpenVPN/Wireguard applications on the iOS device. Everything appears and works as normal now. -

Hello! Everything looks fine, please re-check your "Client Area". Anyway, to stay on the safe side, please browse ipleak.net. Make sure that your "real" IP address doesn't appear anywhere, so you can be 100% positive that your connection works as expected. If you see any issue, please do not hesitate to update this thread and above all open a ticket for pro support. Kind regards -
I have the OpenVPN and WireGuard VPN applications installed on an iOS device. I have used the config generator for a few OpenVPN/Wireguard server options and successfully imported them into their respective applications. Everything works, the VPN connects etc. However, when I access the client area and go under the iOS device I created under the "Devices" section, the device said it has never connected to the VPN. Is there any reason for that? I set different DNS/Port forwarding settings for the iOS device but now I'm concerned those settings are not properly being applied to my iOS device when connected via OpenVPN/Wireguard.

Definitely agree, one of the best lists out there.

F-Droid is probably the most well-known alternative app store that is also reputable in aspects of both privacy and security. The project exclusively builds and hosts FLOSS software, and even comes with a repo from the Guardian Project which hosts privacy-centered APKs like Orbot. It's an example of a good store. All other stores, especially Aptoide, are comparable to user-managed alternative repositories for software on Linux, like Launchpad for Ubuntu or the AUR for Arch Linux. The AUR in particular was recently in the news because some user posted malware packages of popular browsers with "patched" or "fix" in their name, suggesting that they are "patched" versions of the original browsers found in the official repository. That very same thing can happen on Aptoide: You're looking for an alternative YouTube player (since they are not allowed on Play) and all you install is one that asks for questionable permissions not needed for video playback. The next moment someone gets your installed apps, your location, phone number and maybe other things. It's even much more difficult to verify that your download is safe for you because, well, you cannot look into the APK, so arguably alternative stores are even riskier than using the AUR on Arch. Not sure if "due dilligence" is enough to avoid harm. I for one don't use, much less recommend, them. Soon, all those stores will be no more once Google's new PKI-like registration of package names will come into effect. Or will at least drastically alter how they work. Starting 2026, all devs need to register their package names with their Android developer account which holds their personal ID information, so if F-Droid builds org.airvpn.eddie (which they don't, just an example) the installation of that build will fail on all certified devices (maybe unless it's a reproducible build, but different story). Google say it's for security, and that might have some kernels of truth to it (e.g. cracked paid APKs, and maliciously modified apps on Aptoide and elsewhere with the same package name will fail to install), but in essence this is Google taking complete control over the Android software ecosystem – a shift to a centralized Android, like iOS always was. Android more and more ceases to be an open platform (also for other things that happened, especially in the Custom ROM circles). And it's maddening to know that there is no viable alternative. All the devs are on iOS and Android. Wearables, TVs, cars, they all use SDK from those two OSes. And Linux phones largely don't work as daily drivers yet. So in essence, if they have a good track record like F-Droid, they're probably safe. Aptoide fails in this regard, see also Hacker News. as F-Droid is a reputable APK source, it's usually safe to simply download from there. I additionally go to the code repo and check one or two things out that catch my interest. If good, I download the build from the developer if one is available, and if that is not, from F-Droid. -
kB/s download & upload speeds
Tech Jedi Alex replied to Ptwifty's topic in Troubleshooting and Problems
Oh, well, if you're using wireless, getting the throughput you see around here can be quite the challenge. People reported that so much as changing the used frequency changed things considerably, but of course moving as close to the access point as possible without any walls in between and making sure you use a channel that is not used by anyone else is still better. Using a disruption-free wired connection is the best, though, especially if your goal is torrenting with good throughput. When using OpenVPN, you could try TCP to guarantee ordered delivery. It did help some over wireless. But it's not a good suggestion if you want performant BitTorrent sessions. Maybe others can chime in on their experience with VPN over wireless, too. -
If using Wireguard, bind to the local IP address. Not the interface name. The interface name can change for Wireguard, when you switch servers.. If using OpenVPN, bind to the intarface name. Not the local IP address. The local IP address can change for OpenVPN, when you switch servers. EDIT: I don't use Eddie. I suppose Eddie could be different.

Hey everyone, I’ve been reading a lot about third-party app stores lately — places like Aptoide, APKPure, and similar platforms. Some people say they’re a great way to access apps that aren’t available on Google Play, while others warn about privacy and security issues. Given that many folks here value digital freedom and privacy (and often avoid Google’s ecosystem when possible), I’m curious — what’s your take on third-party app stores? Do you think they’re a good alternative app stores if you’re careful about what you install? How do you personally verify app safety before downloading from them? Are there any stores you actually trust or recommend? Would love to hear what the privacy-minded crowd here thinks about this. -
Hi, i’m very new to VPNs and torrenting, so this might be a no brained question, but I got airVPN yesterday and was using it for torrenting on qBittorrent. I binded the torrent to and was running it though airVPN, but today when I try to connect my VPN to any server, it takes too long and says “handshake timeout.” It did this about 20 times in a row and i’m really unsure what to do, does it have anything to do with binding the torrent to the VPN?

That is happening transparently, i.e. without any disruption, so you do not need to worry about that. It's all in that thread I linked.. possible user names, if they reveal your real name, and IPv6 addresses if beginning with 2xxx are the primary things. -

ANSWERED Eddie doesn't connect after shutdown/reboot
Emergency9 replied to Emergency9's topic in Eddie - AirVPN Client
Well, you solved it! I have used some software to get rid of some features in Windows 11, stuff like Cortana and some telemetry related things. This has also affected my power settings in Windows, which I believed I had restored to what it used to be. I think this has turned Fast Startup back on. I disabled it, rebooted my PC and tried Eddie again. This time it worked, I didn't have to reinstall it like I had the past few weeks. Thank you very much for your help, I really appreciate it! -
AirVPN servers pushing IPv6, killing connection
Staff replied to jdelliott's topic in Troubleshooting and Problems
Hello! You should enable IPv6 to resolve the problem at the moment. Yes, WireGuard works only over UDP. The author of the thread uses AirVPN Suite - pay attention not to hijack the thread or mix different problems, if in doubt feel free to open your own thread. Kind regards -

Thank you. Not seeing AirVPN suite for Windows and I can't use Eddie, that's why OpenVPN gui is used. Wireguard only works with UDP right? -
