Why does AirVPN need javascript?
Tech Jedi Alex replied to Y7h-2dfrgrtAA-3's topic in General & Suggestions
Ah, yes, it's the DDoS protection mechanism. I analyzed it a little once:This part really needs JavaScript, otherwise you're a bot to the software. I see. I might check that out later myself. -
Networklock doesn't work and no minimization
Tech Jedi Alex replied to StylishSpecter's topic in General & Suggestions
Well, there you have it. The primary goal was to prepare the network for further abuse, not to end some VPN process. Collateral damage, yes, VPN connections were dropped, but not what I'm gunning for as an attacker. n = 1009. I'm getting hard Selection Bias vibes from this. How can a thousand samples be representative of 322 million internet users in the US? I do not believe usage of any public VPN provider is so widespread. In my sphere of influence, among around maybe 20 people of whom I know the internet habits, 2, maybe 3, are using VPNs intermittently. If we take that as n, that makes, in my circle of mixed tech and non-tech people, just 10-15%, which is much closer to the truth. Especially those who like to free-stream movies and series are much more inclined to use one; torrenting as such died out in my circle (and even I don't torrent anymore). Also interesting is that (in my circle) there is great aversion to paying for such things as a VPN. Some compare it to paying for pornography, but that's probably a fair bit influenced by the culture. So, yeah, the two are using free VPNs, one was definitely a user of Opera VPN. -

I've been having the same thing on Arch Linux since ovpn-dco-dkms was available, but since OpenVPN's documentation itself says that a non-DCO server can serve DCO clients and vice versa, I think it's got something to do with my client config somewhere. Anyway, since I've got an OpenVPN server running myself, I'll think about compiling 2.7 there and on the client and test a "full" DCO setup this way.

Hello! You polluted both commands with syntax errors (note the spurious spaces). Please re-check. If you enter the correct commands and you still get the other errors you reported then your device is probably customized in a way that doesn't allow this operation, unfortunately. Kind regards

Eddie Android edition 3.3.0 available
tranquivox69 replied to Staff's topic in News and Announcement
Failure with adb means that if I issue both of these two commands: adb shell settings put secure always_on_ vpn_app org.airvpn.eddie adb shell settings put secure alw ays_on_vpn_ lockdown 1 I get "inaccessible or not found", using ADB TV. If I try to use pm grant com.cybercat.adbappcontrol.tv android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS I get a bunch of errors from com.android.server.pm.permission.PermissionManagerService.grant.RuntimePermissionInternal(PermissionManagerService.java:xxxx) Where xxxx is a number that changes (I get a bunch of those, 1521, 1437, 380, etc.) - Yesterday

It's a weird urban legend that the VPN clientele is a niche one, at least since 2015 (maybe even earlier). According to security.org and other sources 1.75 billion people "commonly" use a consumer VPN in 2025,. Usage in the USA has declined significantly to 32% (we had a 50% peak in 2022-2023), yes, but it's not a niche obviously. The decline is driven mainly by the shift of companies dropping VPN to replace it with zero-trust solutions (corporate VPN now account for just 5% of usage, 8% in the USA, so it's less meaningful). Worldwide, if 2024 survey of a specialized company we bought is correct, roughly 1/3 of the whole Internet population used a VPN at least "once per week". Unfortunately (for them too) of this 1/3, more than 30% used a "free" VPN (this implies that free VPNs are used commonly by more than half a billion persons in the world). Some more data showing usage from USA perspective: https://www.security.org/resources/vpn-consumer-report-annual Kind regards -
Hello! It is because you have "brianz@tuta.io" as e-mail address linked to an account (whose linked e-mail address is different) and as username of another account. Only one of them has a valid plan. You can easily resolve this confusion but we have already done this for you. Please try again now. Kind regards

Hey all! Are there any plans to support controlling forwarded ports via the API? I'd like to automate enabling and disabling the ports I have forwarded so that they are only open when in use. Thanks in advance :)

I think this is my 4th year(?) with Airvpn. I like it alot. Especially wireguard. The client eddie is also nice. I love the way you can sort servers by latency(low latency is a must for me). My thoughts on what could be added 1) More Singapore servers with high bandwidth. It's always 80/90% load on Luyten/Hydra and the other server I'm forgetting the name. Singapore is a great fast and efficiently routed gateway to and from south east asia and south asia, asia in general. 2) More dedicated or more emphasis on wireguard. The protocol is outstanding for gamers who want to play in low latency/ping and better routed access. Also is great for raw speed so please look into focusing on wireguard more, for everyone 3) Some way to bypass this cloudflare captcha.. I know every user here faces this when they change server. You have to keep entering the captch, or just click "I'm human" a lot in one day. Please devise a way to get rid of this Thanks to the admins and the team and keep up the excellent work!

ANSWERED Wurren Toronto Server
gundamlord replied to gundamlord's topic in Troubleshooting and Problems
oh wow thats amazing to hear bless airvpn -

Hello! We have asked twice Wurren's datacenter support for investigations and interventions on intermittent Wurren malfunctions. Techies always claimed they found nothing, but we could clearly observe repeatedly a specific bandwidth choke on various (not all) IP addresses. Although the problem seems resolved and did not re-appear in the last week, we are waiting for delivery of 3 new servers in the same Kornephoros' datacenter to power up our presence in Toronto. They are currently at Canada custom, so it's likely that we will have them connected before the end of November. They feature powerful hardware and they will be connected to 10 Gbit/s full duplex lines. We are considering to decommission Wurren after the three new servers are operational. Kind regards

Hi i am always getting bad speed on this server, just wondering why? its one of few 20gbit/sec(10up/down) servers in canada yet it doesn't give me even 1/7th of speed i can get it on it's sister server Kornephoros. i love Kornephoros as it gives me awesome speeds, one of the reasons i came back to airvpn. one of the reasons i left was bad speeds for my taste. few weeks back wurren also had technical difficulties and was put offline

Why does AirVPN need javascript?
Y7h-2dfrgrtAA-3 replied to Y7h-2dfrgrtAA-3's topic in General & Suggestions
I was saying that instead of the link going:https://airvpn.org. It was going to a javascript needed part of the site in the forums, which might have triggered the,"Sorry this websites need JavaScript." I was using the Tor Browser in safest mode. like JavaScript disabled n all. When I tried to sign up the button,"I agree to the terms and services and privacy policy." It wasn't accepting. My fault for low quality information. -

Added another 3 years, now 5 and half years as today Hope administration will add more powerful connections on eastern europe states like Romania, Serbia etc or maybe freshly new ones as Moldova,Albania, Hungary etc Cheers

Hi all, I am struggling to access the live stream running here: https://www.telemundopr.com/en-vivo Whilst the website works fine using AirVPN servers (I originally tested this using Brazil and USA servers), I just get the spinning loading animation from the video player. I can confirm I have tried this with a Puerto Rican server on another VPN service and the live stream works, but I'd rather use AirVPN which I can configure on my router via policy-based routing rules. Many thanks, Kez.

Hello! Thanks. It's strange because Eddie has the very same ability. Given this new information, it looks like an Eddie bug rather than a limitation enforced by your device manufacturer. However, we are unable to reproduce this problem on any of our Android TV devices and emulators. Can you explain the failure with adb and send us a complete report generated by Eddie in your machine to give us more clues (after the problem has occurred, in the "Logs" view tap the paper plane icon and send us the link that the app will give you back)? Kind regards

StylishSpecter replied to StylishSpecter's topic in General & Suggestions
Yes, I know that but I've been following the other posts here and I've noticed that you're an active writer, so you'll most likely know more about the practices and background of AIRVPN than most people here. Since the latest leaks showed that 84% of all Tor exit notes are operated by the FBI, I'm staying away from it, if at all only via onion sites, but unfortunately most websites don't offer any yet It may have a manageable effect, but as contradictory as it sounds, I trust hacktivists who run a VPN like AIRVPN significantly more than the FBI who run a TOR exit node That may be the case, but the TOR project itself and AIRVPN also advises against using torrent via tor because it could even harm the network. VPNs have long since emerged from the niche, some have one because they believe the baseless marketing promises and others just want a little more privacy, fewer trackers and that the service provider doesn't see what preferences you share with the hamster, for example ;-) You'll laugh just recently, that's exactly what happened -. Hackers had injected malware into company software and Chatgpt that was supposed to do exactly that, end all processes and then distribute malware or connect the computer to a bot network. Yes Eddie is like the nice aunt who smooches you at every family celebration, she's annoying but somehow you like her So now we have come extremely far away from the topic, had a lesson in IT technology and pushed my post into a corner that belongs in a nice private chat rather than in the post. I now know Eddie doesn't offer a permanent kill switch and there is no double hop. Whether and how you can get Eddie to accept his place in the taskbar on Linux is still unclear.
