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 -
Immediate Crash: X Connection to :0 broken
voidfactory replied to voidfactory's topic in Eddie - AirVPN Client
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? The terminal at the moment of crash outputs this: Native Crash Reporting ================================================================= Got a SIGSEGV while executing native code. This usually indicates a fatal error in the mono runtime or one of the native libraries used by your application. ================================================================= /usr/bin/eddie-ui: line 3: 82413 Aborted (core dumped) ./eddie-ui --path.resources=/usr/share/eddie-ui "$@" -

Hello! You can generate the configuration files with our Config Generator: https://airvpn.org/generator For the QVPN Service 3 app on QNAP, a user has written a short step-by-step guide that needs no SSH: https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/73948-connect-qnap-qvpn-service-3-to-airvpn/?tab=comments#comment-253561 In short: 1. In the Config Generator turn on the advanced options and select: IPv4 only for entry and exit, OpenVPN profile 2.6 no-DCO, cipher automatic, separate keys and certificates, Linux as the system, and an OpenVPN UDP mode with tls-crypt. 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. -

Hi, after being able to install eddie-ui-git again on my CachyOS system, with Niri and DMS, the program starts, asks me for system permission and then initializes, only to immediately crash once it has finished initializing. Interestingly, it also immediately crashes Discord when it happens to be open. his is the entire process of what happens when I type eddie-ui into the terminal: ❯ eddie-ui Could not set X locale modifiers Gtk not found (missing LD_LIBRARY_PATH to libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0?), using built-in colorscheme . 2026-10-31 17:05:46.452 - Eddie version: 2.27.2 / linux_x64, System: Linux, Name: CachyOS Linux, Version: Linux XXXX 7.3.0-4-cachyos #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri, 23 Oct 2026 15:59:50 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux, Framework: 6.8.0.96 (tarball Wed Jan 15 10:20:48 UTC 2020); Framework: v4.0.30319 . 2026-10-31 17:05:46.468 - Command line arguments (1): path.resources="/usr/share/eddie-ui" . 2026-10-31 17:05:46.709 - Raise system privileges . 2026-10-31 17:05:46.710 - Elevated launch with method 'pkexec': /usr/lib/eddie-ui/eddie-cli-elevated . 2026-10-31 17:05:49.893 - Privileged tools run from: install directory (secure, no staging) . 2026-10-31 17:05:49.893 - Runtime directory: /var/lib/eddie-vpn/run/spot . 2026-10-31 17:05:50.108 - Collect network information . 2026-10-31 17:05:50.382 - Reading options from /home/XXXX/.config/eddie/default.profile . 2026-10-31 17:05:50.789 - WireGuard - Version: 1.0.0 . 2026-10-31 17:05:50.789 - OpenVPN - Version: 2.7.8 - OpenSSL 3.6.5 29 Sep 2026, LZO 2.10 (/usr/bin/openvpn) . 2026-10-31 17:05:50.789 - SSH - Version: OpenSSH_10.6p1, OpenSSL 3.6.5 29 Sep 2026 (/usr/bin/ssh) I 2026-10-31 17:05:50.789 - SSL - Not available . 2026-10-31 17:05:50.935 - systemd-resolved restarted via systemctl (eddie-tray:33496): libayatana-appindicator-WARNING **: 17:05:51.241: libayatana-appindicator is deprecated.

Are there any remnants from those installations trying to interfere? Best

ANSWERED Eddie - Subscription Required
Staff replied to alb9987's topic in Troubleshooting and Problems
Hello! Thank you for reporting it. This was a problem on our side: right after your payment our system wrongly marked your order as cancelled, which removed the plan from your account, so Eddie reported that a subscription was required. It has been corrected the same day: your one-year plan is active, and we sent you the details in your support ticket. In Eddie, please log out and log in again, or quit and restart Eddie, so that it reads the updated account status. If Eddie still shows the same message, please reply to your support ticket rather than here, so we can check your account privately. Kind regards -
ANSWERED Air blocking its own servers?
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! -

Using cachyos linux DMS shell, after a new system update a few weeks ago, I have been unable to use eddie-ui-git or eddie-ui or the appimage, or the one via cloning git hub. Eddie will start, I put in my system password, I see the program initialize bringing up the interface and going through several things in the bottom right and then it crashes and goes away before I can do anytnig. I cannot show the error right now, but it was something like eddie-ui: Fatal IO error 4 (Interrupted system call) on X server :0 Then, I uninstalled all those for the tenth time. Now I am trying to install it again using yay and I am getting this error: Lib.Core.net10 net10.0 succeeded (2.4s) → /home/regenherz/.cache/yay/eddie-ui-git/src/Eddie/src/Lib.Core/bin/Release/net10.0/Lib.Core.dll Lib.Platform.Linux.net10 net10.0 succeeded (0.4s) → /home/regenherz/.cache/yay/eddie-ui-git/src/Eddie/src/Lib.Platform.Linux/bin/Release/net10.0/Lib.Platform.Linux.dll App.CLI.Linux.net10 net10.0 linux-x64 failed with 1 error(s) (0.5s) → bin/Release/net10.0/linux-x64/eddie-cli.dll /home/regenherz/.cache/yay/eddie-ui-git/src/Eddie/src/App.CLI.Linux/App.CLI.Linux.net10.csproj(57,3): error MSB3073: The command "/home/regenherz/.cache/yay/eddie-ui-git/src/Eddie/src/App.CLI.Linux//postbuild.sh "/home/regenherz/.cache/yay/eddie-ui-git/src/Eddie/src/App.CLI.Linux/bin/Release/net10.0/linux-x64/" linux-x64 Release" exited with code 127.

I really tried, but I don't have the time right now to deal with this at all, or the mental capacities.

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. -

Not a big deal but just researching why ESET was throwing up a msg blocking one of the servers I was trying to connect to. And this msg was thrown up here. Wasn't logged in if that mateers. Did login and it corrected itself. Just never seen this here before. No idea if just pasting image here works - text is as follows from page here with AipVPN banner: 'We're sorry, our tubes are clogged for you. Your IP or your IP range is temporarily suspended. We're working....' Flegetonte - USA server. Lots of stuff happening I haven't seen before in a few other corners of the world...

Hello! AirVPN is not affected. All our websites and web services (airvpn.org and our other domains) use Let's Encrypt certificates, which chain to ISRG Root X1. No eMudhra root or intermediate certificate is part of any of our certificate chains. The VPN connections do not depend on public certificate authorities at all: OpenVPN: your client authenticates our servers only against AirVPN's own private CA, which is included in your configuration file. A certificate issued by any public CA, eMudhra included, is rejected. WireGuard: there are no certificates. The server is authenticated by its public key, which is also in your configuration file. Eddie: it communicates with our infrastructure through a channel encrypted and authenticated with an RSA key built into Eddie itself, so it does not rely on the certificate store of your system. Since the tunnel is authenticated this way, someone on your local network or at your ISP cannot use a forged public certificate to get between you and our VPN servers. The remaining risk is the general one that applies to every website: a person who holds one of the compromised intermediate keys could forge a certificate for any domain, and a browser or operating system that has not received the block could accept it. Mozilla, Google, Apple and Microsoft have already revoked and blocked the affected certificates, thus upgrade asap. Kind regards

Hello, I run Eddie 2.27.2 on Windows Server 2019. My network has a firewall/filter that treats unknown UDP traffic very strictly, hich slows VPN tunnels down a lot (WireGuard only reached about 300 Kbps, OpenVPN about 70 Mbps, while the connection without VPN runs at about 1 Gbps). A filter for WireGuard and OpenVPN can be set up, but it only works for a fixed LOCAL UDP port on my machine (WireGuard 51820, OpenVPN 1194), not for the remote ports of the VPN servers. So I need Eddie to use a fixed local port, but I did not find a way: OpenVPN: - In Settings > OpenVPN directives I set "Use only Custom directives" and added "lport 1194" (without the "nobind" line). Connecting fails with: "OpenVPN > Options error: --lport and --nobind don't make sense when used together". - When I additionally add "bind", it fails with: "--bind and --nobind can't be used together". - So it seems Eddie adds "nobind" to the generated config by itself, even when the base directives are not used. - Running openvpn.exe manually with a config from the Config Generator (with lport 1194 and without nobind) works fine, so this is not a problem of the servers. WireGuard: - I did not find settings. Just MTU. Questions: 1. Is "nobind" hard-coded in Eddie, and is there a supported way to use a fixed local port for OpenVPN? 2. Is there a way to set the WireGuard local port (ListenPort) in Eddie? 3. If not, could this be added as an option in a future version? It would help everyone behind networks with UDP filtering or strict firewall rules. Thank you and best regards

Some or all of the AirVPN crew must be into Astronomy, I noticed all the star/constellation names they've given to the various servers. No problem, when I'm not here as a keyboard jockey I'm outside on clear nights with my C-14.

I had to reinstall Eddie client for several times and setting it up is always a quest for the whole evening. Had lost my evenings with 2.26.2 - 2.27.1 version update and ovpn-dco failure on win 10, thx experimental version managed to be here again. So many users have ISP blocks and it's always a great problem to recieve server list, for me I had to search for some free VPN, download, connect and retrieve airvpn server list, though Eddie app loggs in without any problems even with isp blocks. Imagine how you can simplify life of common users if app would have some servers in memory or kind of random test servers to connect to get info.

arch Eddie-UI Elevation Issue Arch
Staff replied to YourLittleMindhive's topic in Eddie - AirVPN Client
Hello, You are not missing a step. "Don't ask elevation every run" makes Eddie install a systemd unit, eddie-elevated.service. When that unit cannot be created, the option switches itself off again, which is what you see. The AUR eddie-ui package is currently Eddie 2.26.2, the latest stable release. In that version the elevated helper creates the unit only when systemd-resolved is active. Otherwise it logs "Can't create service in this OS", even on a regular systemd system. Arch does not enable systemd-resolved by default, so this check fails there. Running Eddie with sudo makes no difference. Please check that this is your case: pacman -Q eddie-ui systemctl is-active systemd-resolved If the first shows 2.26.2 and the second says "inactive", that is the cause. This is fixed in Eddie 2.27.x, currently 2.27.2 (experimental). It is available on AUR as eddie-ui-git, which replaces eddie-ui. To use it: 1. Install eddie-ui-git with your AUR helper, accepting the removal of eddie-ui. 2. Start Eddie as your normal user, not with sudo. Eddie elevates only its helper and asks for your password through polkit. 3. Enable "Don't ask elevation every run" in Preferences and authenticate once. 4. Check that the service is active: systemctl status eddie-elevated If you prefer to stay on the stable 2.26.2 release, Eddie works normally, but it will ask for elevation at each start. If your output is different, or the option still does not persist on 2.27.2, please post both command outputs and a system report, following the instructions here: https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/50663-youve-been-asked-for-a-support-filesystem-report-–-heres-what-to-do Kind regards
