Question about strange ping to AirVPN using OpenVPN
Staff replied to thekvpn's topic in Troubleshooting and Problems
Hello! AirVPN servers have different entry and exit IP addresses to prevent various correlation attacks. An OpenVPN ping (not to be confused with the ping tool relying on ICMP) every 10 seconds is part of the keep alive session method implemented in OpenVPN and compliant with the configuration "ping" directive. See also OpenVPN manual: https://openvpn.net/community-resources/reference-manual-for-openvpn-2-6 (jump to --ping n) Yes, it is correct. Any virtual network must at some point rely on something physical. OpenVPN's ping is inside the OpenVPN Control Channel and not inside the Data Channel. Keep in mind that OpenVPN performs multiplexing, i.e it combines multiple logical channels in a single physical channel. In AirVPN configuration, OpenVPN's ping and the whole Control Channel are cryptographically secure. Kind regards -
I need a range of 20 ports forwarded and I came to airvpn because of a reddit post that said it supported up to 20. Yet, after buying a subscription it only says I can forward up to 5. I don't see any support option, so if anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears

I am using OpenVPN to establish a connection with the server. I also implemented a kill switch with iptables to ensure that traffic can only use the tunnel (tun0) once established (it may be an unnecessary measure, but it is part of my experimentation). Everything works fine, although while looking at the logs of my iptables, I found a strange packet that I can't explain. Every 10 seconds (I assume it is OpenVPN's ping), a packet is sent through my physical interface (enp0s3) to an endpoint that is 2 units greater than the IP of the server I am connected to. For example, if I am connected to the Alruba server, my exit IPv4 is 185.195.237.203, and this "strange packet" is directed to 185.195.237.205. This is always the case, +2 to the IP of the server I am connected to (I have tried with various different servers). Clearly, this is due to a manipulation that OpenVPN makes on my routing table once a connection with AirVPN is established. EDIT: Now that I review it again, the IP where this ping is sent is the IP of the server, meaning the outgoing IP is always -2 from the server. Still, I wonder why OpenVPN uses my physical interface. Is it to reconnect in case the connection is lost? My question is, what is the purpose of this "ping"? Is it correct that it uses the physical interface? If it is to verify the connection with the VPN, shouldn’t it use tun0? Is this a mechanism of OpenVPN to ensure that there is no packet leakage? I am attaching the log of my iptables and my routes. 0.0.0.0/1 via 10.26.54.1 dev tun0 default via 192.168.0.1 dev enp0s3 proto dhcp src 192.168.0.11 metric 100 10.26.54.0/24 dev tun0 proto kernel scope link src 10.26.54.199 128.0.0.0/1 via 10.26.54.1 dev tun0 185.195.237.205 via 192.168.0.1 dev enp0s3 192.168.0.0/24 dev enp0s3 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.11 metric 100 oct 07 12:54:51 nixos kernel: Blocked OUTPUT: IN= OUT=enp0s3 SRC=192.168.0.11 DST=185.195.237.205 LEN=69 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=53227 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=57679 DPT=443 LEN=49 oct 07 12:55:01 nixos kernel: Blocked OUTPUT: IN= OUT=enp0s3 SRC=192.168.0.11 DST=185.195.237.205 LEN=69 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=56793 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=57679 DPT=443 LEN=49 oct 07 12:55:11 nixos kernel: Blocked OUTPUT: IN= OUT=enp0s3 SRC=192.168.0.11 DST=185.195.237.205 LEN=69 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=63963 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=57679 DPT=443 LEN=49 ❤️ -

ANSWERED Help with port forwarding to VMBox Ubuntu from Windows.
Staff replied to nleco's topic in Troubleshooting and Problems
Hello! Correct. 111 is the error code for "connection refused". Packets have reached your system and have been actively rejected by your system (and not silently dropped). Technically this occurs via a TCP RST, so the other end (in this case the port tester machine) can see the active reset. The "active rejection" can occur via a firewall configured to reject packets (instead of silently dropping them) or by the system when configured to reset an attempted connection to a non-existing port. Therefore, you need to check your system firewall rules, and the qBittorrent configuration (according to our previous message). Kind regards -

Shouldn't I be able to test open ports via the airvpn site by clicking "test open"? That is where I am seeing the 111 code. - Last week

No, you cannot.. AirVPN's DDNS is designed so that a name you enter when forwarding a port resolves to the server a client is connected to, and so that this name can still be used to reach some client when the connection breaks and it happened to connect to another server. In other words, it only updates A/AAAA RRs, as DDNS is supposed to do, and only in relation to a VPN connection to AirVPN (which I believe will be blasphemous at work, going by the name pcwork). It is not possible to enter your own NS RRs. Be advised that the domain for DDNS names is airdns.org.

I just noticed that with AirVPN you can open ports and create DNS servers. My intention is to set up a BIND DDNS server so that I can link the IPs of my computers at work, home, and my vacation house to a BIND DDNS server via AirVPN. I know there are existing DDNS providers, but they are often associated with illegal activities, and I don’t trust them. Is it possible to link a DNS with AirVPN so that I can run a BIND server and allow external connections? For example: pc1home.aivpndns.com, pcwork.aivpndns.com, pcvacationhouse.aivpndns.com.

I implore you to stop panicking. Don't write in all uppercase and don't create multiple content items, especially threads, with the same content. Always keep in mind: No news is good news. AirVPN always communicate changes through the Announcements forum. If there is no such communication, everything stays the same. Effectively it means: No one will be forced to do anything until further notice.

Hello! Verizon does not see traffic "through" VPN. The only way that a network snooper or in particular a swarm observer can detect your real IP address is through your system leaking traffic outside the VPN tunnel. It may happen only if you disabled the Network Lock feature of AirVPN software, or you did not take the necessary steps if you connect via third party software. Once the observer monitored swarm activities outside the VPN tunnel and harvested IP addresses provided by trackers and DHT, it transmits the IP address and timestamp with a notice of presumed infringement to your ISP which can correlate it with the subscriber's identity. Main reasons of a traffic leak are unexpected VPN disconnection and wrong configuration (wrong network binding) of a program, but only when Network Lock is disabled. If Network Lock is enabled, any traffic leak for any reason is prevented. Network Lock is a set of firewall rules, therefore leaks prevention is ensured. If you don't run our software you can bind your program(s) to the tun interface to prevent them from exchanging data outside the VPN tunnel and you can implement your customized firewall rules, various guides are available in the "How To" forum. With that said, please check the Terms of Service you accepted. Kind regards

I connected to AirVPN as usual (Eddie-ui), Sofia server. I am currently in the US on Verizon FIOS. I received an email today that they detected copyright infringement with specifics. Why isn't AirVPN working?

ANSWERED Issues with remote port forwarding & qbit connection
Jstatt replied to Jstatt's topic in Troubleshooting and Problems
I decided to try a fresh install of Airvpn and qBittorrent on another pc, just to see if I would have the same issue, and it ended up working fine. So I uninstalled qbitt on my pc and then did a fresh install and redid the binding and port forwarding process and now it works! It seems like when I updated my qbittorrent to the newest version there was some bug or glitch that went with it that somehow prevented it from properly interacting with the VPN. -

Alright I'll open a ticket. I'm not usually connected for a long time but I do usually just hit the "connect to recommended server", which usually puts me in Agena, Arkab or Ukdah servers. -
I've got a weak theory. Can you try a connection via Ethernet and with the device plugged in? -

Well, the WebUI listens on some port. All you gotta do is forward that port in the client area. It can be a random port forwarded to local port 8080. -

Thanks. We would like to check the VPN server. When you plan to stay connected for hours, please open a ticket and warn our support team that you're connected. If you can't stay connected for a long time please name the servers you're experiencing the problem with. Kind regards -
Yes. Everything is working fine now. I didn't set GLUTUN's Ports to the airVPN port. -
Hello I found the reason, but do not understand it at all. I had in a USB port a digital to analog stereo sound player. This is a cable that contains electronics to convert the digital audio to analog sound for my headphones, which by the way worked just fine together with Eddie. So i just started looking for things what i had changed the last weeks to my computer, software wise and hardware wise. Bitdefender confirmed (twice) no virusses. So i started pullling out cables 1 by 1 and as soon as i took the audio cable out, Eddie functioned normal again. Put the cable in and the problem returned. It gets even weirder. With cheap JBL wired earplugs. No problem. Worked for weeks (with Eddie). But 1 or 2 days ago I changed the wired earplugs for Bose wired headphones. And that combination caused the problem. I can only assume that the Bose headphones put something on the usb bus. So i guess i must apologise for using up time. But then again, next time if somebody claims that Eddie does not work as it should, you can ask them if they use an adc with Bose headphones. Regards. -
@Pestermess Hello! We can see now that your qBittorrent is reachable on all the VPN servers your systems are connected to. Can you confirm that the problem is resolved? Kind regards

Hello! If you already upgraded and then you downgraded probably there's no point in further tests, but please repeat the procedure and try again to send us a system report. Please do not forget to delete the configuration file when you uninstall. Does 2.24.2 beta gets stuck too, when generating or sending the system report to our servers? We would like to see the 2.24.2 beta system report too. Kind regards
-
Hi I tried with Eddie 2.24 as you said and got exactly the same behaviour as with 2.21.8. Because 2.21.8 has run without problems for some time, before all this started, I did not see the point to do it with 2.24b. But then again, if you think it is usefull to do it with 2.24b I will send the same stuff. Regards
-
Hello! Apparently not. From the last screenshots you sent us, please note that you are still running Eddie 2.21.8. Please uninstall Eddie, delete again the configuration file (important, the uninstaller does not remove it), upgrade to Eddie 2.24 beta and test again to see whether or not the problem persists. Kind regards
