how to set a fixed local port for OpenVPN and WireGuard?
Staff replied to schwede's topic in Eddie - AirVPN Client
@schwede Hello! The "nobind" line does not seem to come from the base directives, which would explain why removing it there or switching between "Append" and "Use only Custom directives" changes nothing. Eddie adds it by itself while it builds the configuration. If no network interface is selected for the connection, it would append "nobind". If one is selected, it would write "local" followed by the IP address of that interface instead. That would also explain why the line has no level comment in the preview. A solution should already exist, worth a try. In the custom directives, a directive name preceded by a minus sign will remove that directive from the final configuration and the custom directives appear to be applied after the "nobind" above. So you could try putting these two lines in Settings > OpenVPN directives, custom directives, in either mode: -nobind lport 1194 "lport" implies "bind", so "bind" should not be needed. Before connecting, you could check the result with right click on a server > More: "nobind" should be gone and "lport 1194" should be there. An alternative might be to select your LAN interface or IP in Settings > Networking (interface used for the connection): Eddie should then write "local" followed by your IP address instead of "nobind", and "lport 1194" in the custom directives should bind to that address and port. In this case, however, the preview under More would probably still show "nobind", because the interface seems to be resolved only at connection time, so the first method would be easier to verify. WireGuard: as far as we can see, Eddie currently has no option for the local port (ListenPort), so the port would be chosen randomly at each connection. By the way, a firewall that can make an exception only for a fixed local source port, and not for the remote address or port of the traffic, is highly unusual. Firewalls and traffic filters normally match outgoing UDP flows on the destination, which here would be the AirVPN entry IP addresses and ports, and that would cover both OpenVPN and WireGuard without touching the local port at all. Could you tell us which firewall or filter this is (product, model and version, or software and version) and, if possible, how the rule is configured? There might be a simpler way to solve the problem on that side. Please let us know whether the OpenVPN solution works for you. Kind regards -
how to set a fixed local port for OpenVPN and WireGuard?
Tech Jedi Alex replied to schwede's topic in Eddie - AirVPN Client
Cannot reproduce. Set mode to Only use custom directives, remove nobind on the right and add bind to the left, save, and nobild becomes bind. This on Linux, using v2.27.2. Can any other Windows user reproduce schwede's finding? Don't run in circles now. Setting Custom mode removes it if it's removed from the built-in directives. That, on the other hand, is not possible. Custom directives are only supported for OpenVPN for now, unfortunately. So #3 may be forwarded to the dev. -
ANSWERED Immediate Crash: X Connection to :0 broken
Staff replied to voidfactory's topic in Eddie - AirVPN Client
@voidfactory Thank you, the log you attached is exactly what was needed, and it shows the cause precisely. First, a quick picture of the pieces involved. niri is your Wayland compositor which draws and manages every window on your desktop. Eddie UI (like Discord) is an X11 application, and niri does not talk X11 itself: X11 applications run through xwayland-satellite, a bridge that starts Xwayland, acts as the X11 window manager towards those applications and presents each X11 window to niri as a normal Wayland window. All your X11 applications share that single bridge and its single connection to niri. When you activate Network Lock, Eddie opens a small dialog window. That window declares a minimum height of -5 pixels in its X11 size hints (WM_NORMAL_HINTS: min_size 102x-5). xwayland-satellite passes this value unchanged to the compositor as the Wayland minimum size, and the Wayland protocol (xdg_toplevel.set_min_size) forbids negative values: niri answers with a protocol error, the connection is closed and xwayland-satellite panics in the same second: Since every X11 application goes through that same bridge, all of them lose their display at that moment, which is why Discord goes down too, and eddie-tray then segfaults (the core dump you found) as a consequence. niri itself keeps running and quietly restarts xwayland-satellite, without telling anyone that it has just crashed: no notification, no warning, just a fresh bridge where the old one used to be, in the best tradition of a strict code of silence. The only visible symptom is your X11 applications vanishing all at once, and nobody saw anything. In other words, a single window asking to be at least minus five pixels tall is enough to take down every X11 application on your desktop: quite a lot of power for a negative number. So this is neither a permissions problem nor the Mesa issue we mentioned earlier, which is why updating xwayland-satellite did not help. Two things are wrong here: the negative value in that Eddie dialog, which we will report to the Eddie developers, and xwayland-satellite crashing on it instead of ignoring or clamping it. A regular Xwayland or X11 session tolerates such a hint, which is why the problem appears only under xwayland-satellite. If you like, you can report it to the xwayland-satellite project with the lines above: https://github.com/Supreeeme/xwayland-satellite/issues Until one of the two is fixed, on niri please use one of the options that do not need X at all, both with Network Lock: - Eddie CLI edition (eddie-cli) - AirVPN Suite (Bluetit daemon and Goldcrest client): https://airvpn.org/linux/suite/ About video playback on Viki and WeTV: it is not related to this crash. If it happens only while connected to the VPN, please try a few different servers and let us know. Kind regards -
DNSSEC tests fail when connected to sites thru Eddie
Staff replied to Baryshnikov's topic in DNS Lists
Hello, yes, this is expected. When you are connected through Eddie, your DNS queries go to the DNS resolver of the VPN server you are connected to, and this resolver does not perform DNSSEC validation. dnscheck.tools checks whether your resolver rejects records with invalid or missing signatures; ours does not, while Quad9 and Cloudflare do, hence the different results. This is intentional. Our resolvers modify some answers on purpose: the block lists and custom answers you can configure on the DNS page of the Client Area, the OpenNIC TLDs and some names used by our own services. Altering answers is exactly what DNSSEC is designed to detect and reject, so DNSSEC validation would break these features. DNSSEC validation is not strictly necessary while you are connected to the VPN. Between your device and our resolver, queries and answers travel inside the encrypted tunnel, so they cannot be forged by your local network or by your ISP. Moreover, for connections protected by TLS, such as HTTPS, a forged answer leads to a certificate error, not to a silent redirection. If you want DNSSEC validation anyway, you can run your own validating recursive resolver (for example Unbound) and let its queries go through the VPN tunnel. Please note that it must resolve recursively by itself: if it forwards queries to our resolver, validation will fail, because our resolver does not return DNSSEC signatures. You would also lose our block lists, custom answers and OpenNIC resolution. Kind regards -
For some weird reasons the airvpn ip torrent leak test works only when I use TCP. I have the same issue with all torrents too. I can't really use "all interface" on windows qbittorrent because I do need and use split routes for my tailscale and it has its own interface. Any possible explanations? I have never seen this specific problem with other providers. Just curious.

Hey foiks, I work at a security company and the other week I found a ClickFix phishing page on a parked page ad network. While digging into it I realised the parked page had pretty aggressive network based fingerprinting. Very few of the servers in the route check seem to reach. https://airvpn.org/routes/?q=https://whoi.is Is there an official programatic way of checking these? We'd like to automate choosing the most reliable exits, and it would be nice to filter the exit nodes easier than blind retrying and hoping for the best -

Fascinating! I've put the results of the command into a text file, as it is very long. The relevant part should be at the bottom since I queried right after clicking on the Network Lock option.

ANSWERED Immediate Crash: X Connection to :0 broken
Staff replied to voidfactory's topic in Eddie - AirVPN Client
Hello! Discord crashing at the same moment is the key detail: the X server itself is going away, not only Eddie. Eddie's UI is an X11 (Mono WinForms) application, so on Niri it runs through xwayland-satellite, like Discord. "X connection to :0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown)" is what every X11 client prints when that server disappears, and the Mono SIGSEGV in your second message is most likely Eddie dying after it lost its display. It is not a permissions issue: elevation through pkexec worked and the privileged part started correctly. The trigger is consistent: activating Network Lock. Eddie keeps the Network Lock state in its profile folder and applies it again at the next start, so the same step runs at every launch until you delete ~/.config/eddie. You don't need to delete it: just make sure Network Lock is off before closing Eddie, and the next start will be clean. Important: if Eddie crashes while Network Lock is active, the firewall rules stay in place by design (that's what prevents leaks), so you may have no connectivity afterwards. Start Eddie again and deactivate Network Lock, or check the rules with: sudo nft list ruleset To see which process actually crashes, please run this right after a crash and post the output: coredumpctl list --since "10 min ago" journalctl --user -b --since "10 min ago" | grep -i -E "xwayland|satellite" If xwayland-satellite shows up there, the problem is on the compositor side. Niri users have reported random crashes with exactly this message, fixed by updating xwayland-satellite (the -git version) or, in some cases, by going back to an older Mesa release: https://github.com/niri-wm/niri/issues/3199 Please also tell us your xwayland-satellite and Mesa versions. If you can, a quick test in a session with standard Xwayland (Plasma or GNOME) would confirm it: if Network Lock works there, Eddie's firewall part is fine. About leftovers: the different Eddie builds share only the profile folder ~/.config/eddie, and the AppImage is self-contained. Just check that a single Eddie package is installed: pacman -Qs eddie In the meantime, two options that do not need X at all, both with Network Lock: - Eddie CLI edition (eddie-cli) - AirVPN Suite (Bluetit daemon and Goldcrest client): https://airvpn.org/linux/suite/ Kind regards -

After more tinkering, I deleted the folder for eddie at default.profile and was able to start the app without crashing. It will even let me log-in and connect to a server using the Connect to a recommended server option on the start screen. However, it will immediately crash when I press Activate Network Lock, and the program will also immediately crash once I restart it. I need to delete the .config folder again for it to reset and then it does open and I can log-in and connect. What is happening here? Is this a permissions issue?

Choose your server or country and generate the files. 2. Rename user.crt to client.crt and user.key to client.key, and change the "cert" and "key" lines in the .ovpn file accordingly. 3. QVPN does not ask for the tls-crypt key file, so in the .ovpn file replace the line tls-crypt "tls-crypt.key" with the content of tls-crypt.key between <tls-crypt> and </tls-crypt>. 4. Import the .ovpn file and the certificate files in QVPN. If the connection fails, please post the QVPN log and your QTS version. Kind regards

10Gbps Tokyo and Singapore servers
shadowoflight replied to dante2008's topic in General & Suggestions
+1 As of this posting, all sub <100 ping servers (Singapore AND Japan) are at 70-90+% capacity. Also, recently, there was the fibre XGS-PON upgrades and multiple undersea cables coming online in Singapore, the typical ISP landline package has increased from 1GBPS to 10GBPS, and mobile capacity has increased significantly as well. (60GB/month used to cost around $30-90, 300GB/month is now $10-30) I'd say these 3 factors are signals for a capacity upgrade for the region. -

Staff replied to zetterpav's topic in Troubleshooting and Problems
Hello! Nothing was blocked: that page comes from our website, not from the VPN server, and it has nothing to do with Flegetonte or with ESET. When you use the forum search without being logged in, the forum software allows one search every few seconds per browser. A new search within that interval is answered with a "Too Many Requests" error, and our web server displays it with that generic page. Its text about a suspended IP address is misleadin or range was suspended, and the limit for logged-in members is different, which is why logging in solved it. If it happens again, simply wait a few seconds before searching again. About ESET: we do not block our own servers, so the block came from ESET itself, for example from its web or network protection or from an IP reputation list. If you post the exact and the blocked address or URL, without your own IPaddress), we can check it. If it turns out to be a false positive, you can also report it to ESET from the notification or through their false positive submission. Kind regards -

how to set a fixed local port for OpenVPN and WireGuard?
schwede replied to schwede's topic in Eddie - AirVPN Client
Thank you for the tip, I tried it, but unfortunately it does not solve it. I removed nobind from the Base directives and put "lport 1194" into the Custom directives. I tried both modes ("Append Custom directives" and "Use only Custom directives"). In both cases the config shown under Servers > right click > More still contains "nobind", without any level comment, right after sndbuf/rcvbuf: sndbuf 262144 rcvbuf 262144 nobind lport 1194 # Custom level remote-cert-tls server # Provider level When connecting OpenVPN then stops with: "Options error: --lport and --nobind don't make sense when used together". f I also add "bind" to the custom directives, it stops with: "--bind and --nobind can't be used together". So the "nobind" line is added by Eddie itself, not by the base directives. For comparison: if I start openvpn.exe manually with a config from the Config Generator (with lport 1194 and without nobind), the connection works. For WireGuard, the config under More has no ListenPort, and I found no setting for it in Settings > WireGuard (only the MTU). My questions: 1. Where does the "nobind" line come from in Eddie 2.27.2 (Windows), and is there a supported way to disable it so a fixed local port can be used? 2. Is there a way to set the WireGuard ListenPort in Eddie? 3. If not could an option for a fixed local UDP port (OpenVPN and WireGuard) be added in a future version? It would help in networks where a firewall or filter only works with a fixed local port. Thank you! -

how to set a fixed local port for OpenVPN and WireGuard?
Tech Jedi Alex replied to schwede's topic in Eddie - AirVPN Client
Eddie silently ignores all changes to the base directives if in Append mode, and uses Base + Custom in Custom mode, so remove nobind from there and add your custom directives on the left, then set it to Custom mode. Little tip: To check the OpenVPN config Eddie would use to connect to a server, in the Servers/Countries tab right click on an entry and select More.
