When computer shutsdown Eddie's netlock is still active
pHxaq replied to major4579's topic in Troubleshooting and Problems
Had a frustrating time after closing the Eddie app on Windows 10 recently—I lost internet access immediately. Switching Wi-Fi didn't help. I tried reopening the app first, which restored the connection, but closing it normally dropped the internet again. The key was checking the DNS settings. They were pointing to an unknown server. I changed the setting to "Obtain DNS server address automatically," and that fixed the issue instantly after I closed the app. Follow these steps to locate and modify your DNS configuration: Open Network and internet settings. Navigate to Advanced network settings. Click Change adapter options. Right-click on your active Wi-Fi adapter and select Properties. Select Internet protocol version 4. The DNS settings will be visible in the properties window. -

OK that didn't work - I had set the shutdown task to "Run with Highest Privileges", but the netlock was still active the next morning. Is there a command line switch for eddie to 1) deactvate netlock and 2) then exit? Thanks. Marc -

Attempting to connect to any server times out
Tech Jedi Alex replied to hootinani's topic in Troubleshooting and Problems
Close Eddie, reopen and try a connection once, then provide a system report: . -
Should be okay – you are using it for your own desktops only, so there won't be much load generated.

If using amneziawg and the vpn session is ended, are the adapter settings restored to previous setting such as dns?

Nope, didn't work. my startup command is now: Eddie-UI.exe --path=home --batch --netlock --connect --netlock.allowed_ips=192.168.1.10 --gui.exit_confirm=False and I setup the batchfile to run in the Task Scheduler. But the next day (today) the Network Lock was still Active. I had to start Eddie-UI and Deactivate the Network Lock before I had access to the internet. I just realized that I had not checked "Run with Highest Privileges". I'll check it out tomorrow morning. Anything else to try? Thanks, Marc

Using Eddie I am unable to connect to any server. The connection attempt times out and it begins to attempt to connect to the next server, which also times out, and so on. I have tried renewing the certificate and relogging and also switching to the beta 2.27.2 client, but neither have worked. I have used AirVPN/Eddie for a couple of months now with no issues, so I'm unsure why I all of the sudden can't connect. -
@Staff Please consider adding more servers in these locations if possible. Thank you.

When computer shutsdown Eddie's netlock is still active
Staff replied to major4579's topic in Troubleshooting and Problems
Hello! When Windows shuts down, it closes Eddie before Eddie can disconnect and remove its Network Lock rules. With Fast Startup enabled (the Windows 10 default), Shut down does not fully reset the system, so the leftover rules are still active when you power on the computer the next day. When Eddie exits normally, it disconnects and removes the Network Lock by itself, so the solution is to let Eddie exit before Windows shuts down. 1. Add --gui.exit_confirm=False to your launch command, so that Eddie does not ask for a confirmation when it is closed: Eddie-UI.exe --path=home --batch --netlock --connect --netlock.allowed_ips=192.168.1.10 --gui.exit_confirm=False 2. Replace your scheduled shutdown with a scheduled task (Task Scheduler) that runs this batch file: @echo off taskkill /IM Eddie-UI.exe set /a n=0 :wait timeout /t 5 /nobreak >nul tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq Eddie-UI.exe" | find /I "Eddie-UI.exe" >nul || goto off set /a n+=1 if %n% lss 12 goto wait :off shutdown /s /t 0 taskkill without /F asks Eddie to close as if you had chosen Exit: Eddie disconnects, removes the Network Lock and exits. The batch file waits up to one minute for Eddie to exit, then shuts the computer down. In the task properties, run it under your own account with "Run only when user is logged on" and "Run with highest privileges", so that taskkill can reach the Eddie window. Please let us know whether the Network Lock is gone the next morning. Kind regards -
Hello! The AirVPN Suite has no graphical interface at the moment: Bluetit runs as a system daemon, while Goldcrest and Hummingbird are command line programs. Their output is shown by your terminal emulator, so the background, text colors and font are decided by the terminal, not by the Suite. To get a dark mode, select a dark theme or profile in your terminal emulator's preferences (GNOME Terminal, Konsole, xterm and so on), and the Suite will be displayed with it. Kind regards

Windows 10 Pro computer. I start the VPN with: "Eddie-UI.exe --path=home --batch --netlock --connect --netlock.allowed_ips=192.168.1.10" My computer is set to turn off in the early hours. When it does the netlock action is still active, the next day when I start my computer I have to start Eddie and click on "Deactivate Network Lock" and then I will have internet access. Is there a simple batch file command I can run before the computer shutsdown to Deactivate the Network Lock and cleanly exit Eddie? Sorry for the newbie questions. Thanks, Marc

Hello, thank you for the report. We checked all exit addresses, IPv4 and IPv6, of our Phoenix servers (Guniibuu, Khambalia, Sheratan) and Chicago servers (Fang, Kruger, Meridiana, Praecipua, Sadalsuud, Sneden, Superba): MaxMind GeoLite2, ipinfo.io and ip-api.com all place them correctly in Phoenix, Arizona and Chicago, Illinois, US. Google and Meta use their own location data for IP addresses, which can differ from those public databases, so they can place a shared exit address in another country even when the public databases are right. We cannot edit their data directly. Google offers a form to report a wrong IP location: https://support.google.com/websearch/workflow/9308722?hl=en Submit it while connected to the affected server; Google says updates can take more than a month. If it happens again, please post the server name and the exit IP shown by https://ipleak.net at that moment, so we can check that specific address. In the meantime, a server in another city or country is the practical workaround. Kind regards

ANSWERED US servers strange behavior
SurprisedItWorks replied to pHxaq's topic in Troubleshooting and Problems
Another data point. My daughter on the US west coast uses Air as her primary VPN but uses another firm for a much less used backup VPN. This week she found that on that backup VPN's San Francisco server, youtube addressed her as being in Tehran, a place with which she has never had a connection of any sort. My hypothesis was that some Tehran user on that server got the server's IP address associated with that location in some database. -

Not sure if this is the right place to post but this is happening to me: I only used US servers (in Phoenix and Chicago). Recently I've been seeing ads in arabic while using my phone's browser (Chrome). I ignored it. Google's Gemini suddenly stopped working when I tried to use it by saying the service is blocked/not allowed on my country. Last week I've been notified by certain services I use that my logins were triggering alarms due to a "suspicious ip address"(never happened before), though they added that my activity was not unusual. And then, WhatsApp's AI answered me a question with a curious sentence: "if you're in Iran, you can...". I asked back why it said I was in Iran when I am not there, and it replied "Sorry, I got a wrong location signal that you were in Iran's capital". Ipleak shows I use airvpn servers and no DNS leaks either. This is all very weird, but Meta's AI answer shed a light on the possible problem. Just wanted to post it here in the forum so you guys are aware and maybe someone else saw the same behavior. Something's going on with the US servers, and it's worrying. I will switch to servers in other continent and see what happens (so far, the ads are completely normal and Gemini is working again after the switch). Regards.

dark mode would be cool i think and if it already exists let me know kthanksbyeee

UK: Manchester servers migration to new machines
Staff replied to Staff's topic in News and Announcement
Hello! A correction to our previous update about the migration of the three Manchester servers (Bubup, Ceibo, Chaophraya). The migration to the new machines was completed today, 2026-11-11. The information we had received from the provider turned out to be correct for IPv4 only: - IPv4: the entry and exit addresses are unchanged, as announced. - IPv6: the entry and exit addresses have changed. What you need to do: Eddie, the AirVPN Suite (except Hummingbird) and the other software that downloads the server list from us: nothing. The new IPv6 addresses are picked up automatically. Configuration files generated with the Configuration Generator that use host names: nothing. Configuration files that contain the IPv6 addresses of these servers (for example with the "Resolved hosts" option, or WireGuard files with an IPv6 address in Endpoint): please generate them again. Firewall rules, routers or scripts that refer to the IPv6 addresses of these servers: please update them. Configuration files and rules that use only the IPv4 addresses of these servers remain valid. We apologize for the inaccurate information in our previous update. Kind regards & datalove AirVPN Staff -
Hello! @thecoachchen, thank you for your patience and for all the logs and tests you provided. As promised, here is the outcome. After investigating with the user, we could not confirm a single root cause for the WireGuard handshake failure on that system, and the investigation is now closed without a definitive fix. Some of the findings are useful for anyone with the same symptoms: Bluetit reports "Connected", then "WireGuard handshake failed to resume" and reconnects about every minute, with no Internet access and no name resolution. 1. Upgrade to AirVPN Suite 2.2.0, the current release, before anything else. The first line Bluetit writes to the log shows the version in use ("Starting Bluetit - AirVPN WireGuard/OpenVPN3 Service 2.2.0"). Version 2.2.0 also changes how the keys of a WireGuard configuration are read. In 2.1.0 and older a key beginning with "+" is read incorrectly, and the tunnel cannot complete a handshake with any server. If you must stay on an older version, create a new device in the Client Area and use it, so that it gets new keys. 2. Do not run two VPN clients at the same time (for example Eddie and Bluetit on the same computer), and never use the same device in two places at once (for example the Suite on two computers). Each device has its own WireGuard key and VPN address, so two simultaneous sessions with the same device conflict with each other. Exit Eddie completely before you start Bluetit, and create a separate device in the Client Area for each computer. 3. If names do not resolve even before the tunnel is up, check which DNS servers the system uses while no VPN is connected: cat /etc/resolv.conf resolvectl status If they still list the VPN DNS, for example 10.128.0.1, a previous session did not end cleanly and did not restore the DNS settings. That address can be reached only inside the tunnel, so name resolution fails outside of it. The comment at the top of /etc/resolv.conf tells you which program wrote the file and where it saved the original. To restore the settings left by Bluetit, with the Bluetit service running, use: goldcrest --recover-network To restore the settings left by Eddie, start Eddie and exit it normally. 4. If, with "allowprivatenetwork yes" (the default), you can reach the devices in your own subnet but not other private subnets behind the same router (for example 192.168.1.0/24 works, 192.168.2.0/24 does not): Network Lock already allows 192.168.0.0/16, 10.0.0.0/8 and 172.16.0.0/12, but Bluetit sends traffic into the tunnel with a 128.0.0.0/1 route, which also covers 192.168.0.0/16. Only the subnet your computer is directly connected to keeps its own route. Add a more specific route to the other subnets through your LAN gateway, for example: sudo ip route add 192.168.0.0/16 via 192.168.1.1 Replace 192.168.1.1 with your gateway. To make the route persistent on Ubuntu, add it to your Netplan configuration under the interface: routes: - to: 192.168.0.0/16 via: 192.168.1.1 If the problem persists with 2.2.0, please post here: - distribution and version, and AirVPN Suite version - your DNS setup: the output of "ls -l /etc/resolv.conf" and whether you use systemd-resolved, resolvconf or NetworkManager - any other software that manages the firewall or the network on the same system (ufw, firewalld, Docker, Tailscale, another VPN) - the Bluetit log of a whole failed attempt, from the start of the connection to the first "handshake failed" line. Bluetit writes to the system log with the tag "bluetit", for example: sudo journalctl -t bluetit -b - whether the Bluetit service terminated unexpectedly, as shown by: systemctl status bluetit Kind regards

I use Gluetun docker connected to AirVPN for various things. Its great. Is it allowed in the T&C for me to set up a squid docker to proxy other browsers through the Gluetun docker itself, giving me airvpn protected browsing from multiple desktops on my LAN (home, not office) Just curious as it could essentially be hundreds of users (it wouldn't be, I don't have that many people living in my house, but theoretically) Thanks, uwu

UK: Manchester servers migration to new machines
Staff replied to Staff's topic in News and Announcement
Hello! An update about the migration of the three Manchester servers (Bubup, Ceibo, Chaophraya) to new machines. We have been informed by the provider that the servers can keep their current IP addresses. After the migration Bubup, Ceibo and Chaophraya will keep the same entry and exit IP addresses, both IPv4 and IPv6. This means that no action is required on your side, whatever software or configuration you use: - Eddie, the AirVPN Suite and the other software that downloads the server list: nothing to do, as before. - Configuration files generated with the Configuration Generator, with host names or with IP addresses (including "Resolved hosts" and WireGuard files with an IP address in Endpoint): they remain valid, no need to generate them again. - Firewall rules, routers or scripts that refer to the IP addresses of these servers: no need to change them. Each server might still be unavailable for a short time during the switch. Remote port forwarding is not affected: your forwarded ports stay the same. Please ignore the previous instructions about new IP addresses. We apologize for any inconvenience if you have already started preparing for the change. Kind regards & datalove AirVPN Staff -
I think a big advantage AirVPN has is the port forwarding feature. I don't know any other VPN providers that support that.
