just make sure it's not your own exit IP (whether real IP or VPN exit IP) 🤣 there have been sightings of oddball servers that would mirror the exact traffic back to you. purpose: unknown. this would look really like your counterpart with the same port tried to connect to you. Try to write down IPs to see if a pattern emerges. Is it a small range of addresses (first half of IPv6, entire address for IPv4 accounting) or a broad range? Do they belong to the same ISP or hosting? relax, stop over reacting, stop micromanaging and get used to it, because that's how the internet is supposed to work on a technical level 1. IPv4 and IPv6 are separate and independent networks. Your client is correct to treat them as if one doesn't know about the other 2. IPv6 hosts (peers) will often have at least two addresses assigned through no fault of their own. Your client is correct again to treat them separately as if they were independent but equal. The above is correct on a technical level. The world won't get better if you start handing out manual bans to more fairly redistribute the upload bandwidth. The world will get better if more people contribute to uploading with more bandwidth. You wanted an answer, right? The answer is: the bittorrent client could try to deduplicate peers across different logical networks only for the limited upload speed to be more fairly distributed across currently connected peers. Why isn't it being done? It's impossible and/or very hard and/or unnecessary. How many CPU cycles does a program need to dedicate to scanning all details between all peers for deduplication to avoid the bandwidth advantage of (Number IP addresses * 1/number total peer connections)? The difference is 1/n in most cases. While it's apparent to you that a peer is the same over multiple addresses, to a program it is not. How do you avoid banning all of a real peer's addresses, when the remaining one drops completely for example? Like IPv4+IPv6 were working and connected, IPv4 was banned by you. But then the peer drops out, because IPv6 stopped working on their end. Do you lift the ban by retrying (wasting packets, CPU cycles and energy?). The solution asks for heuristics and for a computer and programmer it's muddy waters. Why spend time and effort to begin with? I have spent more effort than necessary by explaining this, but I wouldn't convince you otherwise, because you act on emotion of righteousness... understandable. unless you understand how futile your manual effort is. I don't mean to sound condescending, but the protocol works the way it does. It is what it is. And the person on the other end is not evil or responsible for how it works. At the planetary scale the solution is more seeding. Just keep seeding when you can. That's all, folks!

Try to lower keepalive (in seconds) for Wireguard. It's under Advanced toggle in config generator. It used to be 17s, now 15s. If this doesn't help, then it wasn't the issue. What device are we talking about? How long do connections persist until this happens? How active is the connection when this happens? Keepalive packet is only used when there has been zero communication for this amount of time.

Are there any updates of it being ever added to AirVPN's DNS?

they have the same port and their completion rate ticks up at the exact same rate. i use qbittorent so it shows you that stuff in the peers tab. and no i don't live in china thankfully.

Hello, For a while now, I’ve been getting “WireGuard > Handshake timeout” errors, with the connection dropping and reconnecting several times a day. This has never happened to me before (I’ve been using AirVPN for several years). Any ideas? Thanks

PC instability with Wireguard client also, by the way

Hi Wireguard client isn't working on Android; I had to disconnect the VPN to browse the web. I changed the tunnel, but it still didn't work. I installed Eddie, but that doesn't work either. I have to have VPN off. Any ideas?

couple of questions for someone familiar with torrents
Tech Jedi Alex replied to d3adf1sh's topic in Off-Topic
I remember you were based in China. Could it be your own ISP IP address there? Nah, that's not how it works. If you're subscribed to your ISP's gigabit line for instance, you don't get one IPv4 gigabit line and one IPv6 gigabit line which then add up to be two gigabits – the same gigabit line is just reachable by two different address schemes, v6 preferred, but the quicker gets the traffic. No need to ban anything there. At least for that reason – at the end of the day I think it's still taking two upload slots. Wondering how you know it's the same peer, though. -

Getting profile updated with CLI only
Tech Jedi Alex replied to warner's topic in Eddie - AirVPN Client
In Eddie Preferences > General, you could set Profile data protection to Password and enter one, then copy that file over to the machine and provide that password there. Didn't test it, though, just an idea. -
Newbie Need Help - Rotating Servers
Tech Jedi Alex replied to upeepme's topic in General & Suggestions
Please provide the links to those rotation scripts. I feel like you're referring to something that worked 10 years ago, but no longer does today. Aside from pathological paranoia, what reason could there be to rotate the servers every 15 minutes? -
INFO [dns] downloading hostnames and IP block lists The step above is taking too long on USA servers, and it is dismantling my docker compose depedency and the container won't start. Using it with changedetection to monitor prices in other countries. My similar Japan's docker compose is working fine. -
1) so i don't do a lot of torrenting but sometimes i'll download music torrents which not many people do these days so i'll seed for a bit longer than usual. but sometimes i'll notice after it's been up for a while i'll see a peer trying to connect to me using the same port number that i use, which is weird because i use an oddball number that was assigned by air. thing is it's always from china and i could see if maybe a coincidence that someone could be using the same port as me if it only happened once, but i've seen it happen quite a few times and it's always from china. i guess my question is, is it someone trying to hack me or something? i figure that would probably be next to impossible being i'm already using vpn and firewall and what not. but if you were using your actual ip adress and they knew which port you had open is that something they could use to get in to your system? really i know it's probably no big deal, just bugs me when i see it. 2) i also see people sometimes that will be using both ipv4 and ipv6 address and showing up as two peers i guess to speed up their downloads, but to me that's cheating so i'll usually just ban one of the addresses and they can get one connection like everyone else. my upload slots are limited so like i said seems like they're cheating. kind of wonder how they get that to work, but really i'm fine with waiting 30 min or whatever it takes to get my free product without being a pushy a-hole. reminds me of people that go through the 10 item express lane at the grocery store with 25 items.

EDIT: Seems to currently be working again... but I still don't know if it was a problem on my end or AirVPN's. At first I thought this was maybe the service being down but it appears to be a deeper issue. I've used AirVPN for a number of months, but suddenly as of yesterday I can't access most of the internet with it on due to DNS resolution failing. For some reason, I can usually still access this website, even though running "resolvectl query airvpn.org" returns nothing. Other websites time out or fail immediately. If I run "resolvectl monitor", I can see timeouts, maximum attempts reached, and refused connections. I use systemd-resolved on Linux as a DNS resolver and haven't changed anything about my config recently; it hasn't updated recently either. For my config I use the client generator and copy the config file to /etc/wireguard/, because I could not get the AirVPN suite to work when I tried it ages ago. Here is my config: [Interface] Address = 10.129.110.36/32,fd7d:76ee:e68f:a993:1d7b:7f05:c3fe:9ea5/128 PrivateKey = [REDACTED] MTU = 1320 DNS = 10.128.0.1, fd7d:76ee:e68f:a993::1 [Peer] PublicKey = [REDACTED] PresharedKey = [REDACTED] Endpoint = america3.vpn.airdns.org:1637 AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0,::/0 PersistentKeepalive = 15

So for years I have used Eddie to download with AirVPN, and it's been great. I also use VNC to access my server, normally I just open the ports on my router for VNC so it can connect without being tunnelled through AirVPN. My downloading needs to go through AirVPN, so I only ever opened ports for my bit torrent via the ports page specifically for AirVPN. This has worked for ages, but now I cant connect to VNC whilst Eddie is connected to a VPN server, it seems that everything is being tunnelled through Eddie I think this is called socks 5 ?, but I would like VNC to *not* go through the VPN. How do I do this again ? Thanks Ump.

Seems to work again. Might have just caught the server during a bad time. All good now.

Hello, I had a functioniong Gluetun setup, but it seems I can no longer functionally connect to the Server Achenar. I assume something is wrong with that server, somehow. I did not change anything on my side of the set up. Can any one of you confirm or deny? Thank you.

Hello! Thank for your choice! The infrastructure servers are updated periodically and rebooted on a scheduled, slow rotation to avoid excessive disruptions, except when an urgent update is absolutely necessary. On the 1st of May, an urgent update became essential to address a paramount, critical vulnerability affecting all Linux kernels. Therefore, after having verified that no exploit was attempted on the servers, and after applying a temporary patch preventing the exploit, we proceeded at a rapid pace to update all kernels and reboot the servers in large batches to complete all updates within 24 hours. Kind regards

Hello! Roughly 30% to 50% of peers in a typical Linux distro swarm have working IPv6 connectivity. However, BitTorrent clients or systems may prefer IPv4 and the perceived percentage of IPv6 peers can be dramatically lower. Kind regards -

Hello, Ive been using AirVPN for about a year now, but recently all servers have had extremely high latency and very low speeds, before I was capable of atleast 50mb or so now Im lucky to get into triple digits of kbits, Ive tried reinstalling and updating nothing worked.

It is what it is -
Is this a planned maintenance or something? I've got multiple paid accounts and am using 15 sessions on a variety of different VPNs. Over half of them have abruptly gone out at some point today.
