Countries and servers not showing in Eddie 2.21.8
MarxBrother replied to Howlingwolf's topic in Eddie - AirVPN Client
It is. Please excuse my cluelessnes, I didn't know that I could switch easily to X11. I did so, but with not enough success. Eddie's reaction is faster now, but it still takes about seven seconds just to highlight a server. On the other machine with Debian 12 it is even much more worse. BTW, does it have any disadvantages to use X11 vs. Wayland? Any info about the release of the Mono-free version? Kind regards, BTW, the support here is superb. And even on a sunday! -

Countries and servers not showing in Eddie 2.21.8
Staff replied to Howlingwolf's topic in Eddie - AirVPN Client
Hello! This may mean that Wayland is still a problem and actually our tests are on X.Org based machines. You should consider to switch to X.Org and check whether all the problems get resolved. On Debian 13 and 12, the normal way is to select the Plasma (X.Org) session from SDDM. If you perform the test, please let us know whether the problems get resolved or not: Log out of Plasma. You do not need to reboot. At the SDDM login screen, select your user. Open the session menu, a button or icon near the lower-left corner. Choose Plasma (X11) or Plasma (X.Org). Log in. Run Eddie and check. I'd like to, but I don't know how. Can you explain to me? On KDE Plasma 5 on Wayland, the compositor is normally KWin, running as kwin_wayland. Use these commands to confirm: echo "$XDG_SESSION_TYPE" If it prints: wayland check the compositor process: ps -e | grep '[k]win_wayland' If the output shows (also) kwin_wayland, the compositor is KWin. If not, just send us the whole output. Kind regards -

Dear Staff, thank you for your quick response! I already had the impression that the whole issue involved Mono. I appreciate that the next version of Eddie will get rid of Mono! Can you estimate how long it will take until that version gets out? The problem exists also under an up to date Debian 13 and KDE Plasma 5. E.g. on this system: Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 13 KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.6 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.13.0 Qt Version: 6.8.2 Kernel Version: 6.12.101+deb13-amd64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 24 × AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-Core Processor Memory: 32 GiB of RAM (31.3 GiB usable) Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 6600 On that machine it takes 15 seconds until it reacts to a small draw on the scroll bar in the server list. That feels like back in the computer stone age. I'd like to, but I don't know how. Can you explain to me? -
Countries and servers not showing in Eddie 2.21.8
Staff replied to Howlingwolf's topic in Eddie - AirVPN Client
Hello! The GUI is mainly managed by Mono and this problem is not reproducible on our and our customers' Linux systems. Specifically, one of our testing systems is Debian 13 with KDE Plasma 5, and we don't see any problem at all. However, our DEs run on X.Org server, not on Wayland. Eddie and Mono may have various problems with Wayland on Debian 12, just like a lot of other applications have. You can consider to switch to X.Org. Can you also tell us which compositor is used in your Plasma environment (in Plasma, this is typically KWin)? Next Eddie GUI will not need Mono anymore and Wayland compatibility will be improved, but probably not on systems with archaic packages like Debian 12 (see below). But you can consider to upgrade to Debian 13. Debian 12 Wayland support was not ready for everyday use, while things improved on Debian 13. Also, Debian 12 regular security support ended on June 2026 and its kernel is very old, therefore upgrading to Debian 13 is in any case a good idea if possible. Also consider that Debian 13 is now the main development platform for Eddie Linux edition. Kind regards -

MarxBrother replied to Howlingwolf's topic in Eddie - AirVPN Client
First of all, I love AirVPN! In my view it is the best VPN around. Very useful for me since many years. And I like Eddie. It worked fine for me for all those years. Up to now I had eddie-ui_2.21.8_linux_x64_debian.deb installed and it worked great for me, just like it should. But now I am really disappointed. Since a few days it shows just a few servers from a few countries. So I installed the latest version, eddie-ui_2.26.2_linux_x64_debian.deb. It works, too. But how! The user interface became painstaking slow. When I click on a server, it takes around 10 seconds before it is even selected. This makes it unusable. My system: Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 12 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0 Qt Version: 5.15.8 Kernel Version: 6.1.0-52-amd64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i3-7100 CPU @ 3.90GHz Memory: 7.5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 630 I also tried that version of Eddie on a much faster machine with 12-Core CPU, Debian 12 and KDE Plasma. Still unbearably slow. Please help! I need a working Eddie. And I am not willing to switch to Windows or Ubuntu or whatever for that. -

Hello at all. Does anybody know why I have DNS leaks with the latest version of Eddie (2.26.2)? Ipleak.net shows AIR DNS-servers and the real from my ISP. When I switch to previous version 2.24.6 no leak does appear.

I am new to AirVPN and VPNs in general. I've installed AirVPN eddie-ui 2.24.6 x64 Linux Fedora on my AlmaLinux9 system. The only graphical display I have is my Cygwin X server on my Windows desktop, and there the eddie UI is very slow. It takes more than 30 seconds for it to react to any actions, like button clicks, etc. I would like to try the CLI, but I can't find any documentation for either the UI or CLI other than the FAQs. Does such documentation exist? I'm running eddie-ui as root, so I believe I should not have any permission issue. Watching the console output from the terminal where I launched the application, I see what look like reasonable logs, except for these: I 2026.08.22 10:54:33 - SSL - Not available (eddie-tray:32692): libayatana-appindicator-WARNING **: 10:54:34.491: libayatana-appindicator is deprecated. Please use libayatana-appindicator-glib in newly written code. I was able to log in using the UI and when it asks me to connect to a recommended server, I click on that and after a long wait, I get the following pop-up message: There is no available or enabled Network Lock mode, sorry. I see the following logs: eddie-system-report-20260822.txt

Thanks, I edited the firewalld.conf to NftablesTableOwner=no but...still the same error messages, still cant connect after a reboot.

Update, almost one year later: Unfortunately, I am facing essentially the same problem again. After my previous issue I reverted to the old Eddie version, which worked very well for me until recently. I could sort servers by Speed and usually had several servers with high star ratings that also delivered good real-world speeds. A few days ago this changed suddenly. The old version started showing only a very small number of usable/high-rated servers, so I upgraded to Eddie 2.26.2. Unfortunately, the current version shows a very similar problem: with Scoring Rule = Speed, only a handful of servers receive more than 1-2 stars, while many servers receive 0 stars. The star rating currently does not correlate reliably with actual throughput. For example, I have measured some 0-star servers at around 180-200+ Mbit/s, while other servers with better ratings were much slower. With Scoring Rule = Latency, I immediately get many 5-star servers, but those are not necessarily fast either. I have already tested: WireGuard MTU 1280 MTU 1320 Omit/automatic MTU a completely fresh Eddie profile restoring my previous settings several different servers and repeated tests OpenVPN, which is significantly slower for me WireGuard itself can still reach 200+ Mbit/s, so the main problem is not a general WireGuard speed limitation. The problem is that I can no longer use Eddie's Speed scoring to identify fast servers before connecting, whereas this worked very reliably for me before. Has anything changed in the Speed scoring logic or in the data/measurements used for the server scores since my original report? At this moment there isn't even a single 2-star server, yet Baiduri, currently rated at about 1 star, reaches 200 Mbit/s. KR

I am unable to connect using OpenVPN after installing 2.26.2 it will only work if i set it to wireguard, any ideas? I had to revert back to Eddie 2.24.6 and select wintun driver in advanced tab to use openvpn again.

yeshi replied to Howlingwolf's topic in Eddie - AirVPN Client
Thanks for the replies. I can't upgrade to the latest appimage (from the tarball) as they do not work. Tried the portable version too, same error. On PCLinuxOS specifically, the appimage problem appears to be CURL_OPENSSL_4. libLib.Platform.Linux.Native.so requires CURL_OPENSSL_4 PCLinuxOS lib64curl4 currently provides CURL_OPENSSL_3 I don't know if PCLinuxOS has to be update a package or the appimage has to be rebuild. I've asked PCLinuxOS if anything can be done. No reply yet. thanks anyway. -

socks5time replied to nopcode85's topic in Eddie - AirVPN Client
I had the same problem on Win7 and tried several versions. I got it working by uninstalling it, deleting the profile folder in AppData\Local, restarting the pc and running the eddie-ui_2.24.6_windows-7_x64_installer version as Admin. Now all the servers show up again. -

Hi, I've upgraded multiple desktop clients to 2.26.2 today. When I select the "Don't ask elevation every run", the system reports "Can't create service in this OS", including when eddie-ui is run with sudo. This applies to all copies installed on Linux Mint Debian edition (version 7 with kernel 6.12.101) and Base Debian 13.6 (kernel 6.12.101) are now unable to create a systemd service to automatically run eddie (which is problematic for those people that have and need eddie as a start up program, and the use of network lock is not available). When the relevant admin password is provided eddie continues to function as expected including logging into the relevant servers. Are there any known workarounds for this change (other than manually creating the systemd service, which makes the internal option somewhat redundant)?

ANSWERED CAN'T SEED (QBTORRENT + MAC OS)
Staff replied to Flexion's topic in Troubleshooting and Problems
Hello! @Flexion informed the support team that the problem was caused by the specific configuration of a private tracker limiting downloads for new users for a certain period of time. Therefore, "non-priority user" will have trouble in seeding. 🙄 Case closed. 😁 Kind regards -
Hello! It's expected, unfortunately. Eddie includes the latest WireGuard version which requires macOS 12 Monterey or higher versions. The privacy protection offered by OpenVPN, anyway, is slightly higher than that offered by WireGuard. Furthermore there is no WireGuard kernel module for macOS so the performance gain you have on other systems from saving kernel space↔userspace crossing and packet-buffer movements is lost. Kind regards

Staff replied to Howlingwolf's topic in Eddie - AirVPN Client
Hello! In this case you need to run either the AirVPN Suite, WireGuard or OpenVPN. Please see here: https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/79336-airvpn-suite-resources If you opt for WireGuard or OpenVPN native software, our Configuration Generator, available on your AirVPN account "Client Area", can generate all the profiles you need. Eddie Desktop edition runs on hundreds of distribution, but it is objectively difficult to offer total compatibility with all the 500+ actively maintained ones. However, the supported amount increases. For example, in this last version Eddie offers enhanced compatibility with distributions based on SysV-style init (before this version only the Suite had total compatibility with init based distros). Kind regards -
Yeah, that fixed me. All the servers are back. I couldn't connect through WireGuard though. I had to use openVPN. As long as that provides me the same protection though I'm fine.

They have a version thta will run on older macs. I'm in the same boat and just downloaded a version that works for me. Look in the download section.

Thanks for taking the time to respond promptly. Will update Eddie as I am using a prior-than-current version. Thanks again Airvpn.

Cannot upgrade, newer versions do not work. See other posts on this and related access failures.
