Is there a way to bypass ISP throttle?
Sikuoshi replied to Mad_Max's topic in Troubleshooting and Problems
I had the same issue, and setting my VPN protocol to SSL over port 443 made a big difference since it blends in better with regular HTTPS traffic. -

I'm not trying to hide from governments. So don't really feel like i need to use crypto; it's such a PIA to do it anyway, that i want to stay away from crypto. I'm just looking to hide my IP from copyright trolls, and malicous people on Discord, IRC, in games and honestly just trying to lower the amount of bots scanning my router 24/7 etc. The thing is my paypal is linked to an email that can easily be linked to me. So i was wondering if that email will then be linked to my account, show up when logging into my account under payment details etc? While i'm not trying to hide from governments etc. I still would prefer not have this email linked to my VPN account if possible. So just trying to figure out what account details look like when paying with Paypal and what kind of information is kept by AirVPN and for how long? I'm thinking about paying for 3 years around November, so just wanted to come on here, ask the questions and get all the information before then. There any reason you guys don't take cash or sell gift cards on Amazon or something like other providers do for the people who don't wanna use crypto? So that they can pay while not having their personal details linked directly to the VPN. It might not be the most secure way (gift cards), but it at least adds another layer someone would have to go through to get your personal information as they would then have to go to Amazon and try to link the order number to the gift card bought etc

Hello! Error 110 (timeout) implies that either your service did not reply at all, the firewall dropped the incoming packet, or the port doesn't exist on the VPN interface and your system is configured to drop silently packets with non-existing ports as destination. Please follow again the checklist. Kind regards

now i am getting error 110

Is blacklisting for Air IP addresses getting worse?
Staff replied to inthemeantime's topic in Blocked websites warning
Do any readers know whether it is would be normal for VPN providers to liaise with the biggest blocklists? (I would imagine it would be a lot of manual work, so I could understand why Air would not want to take it on). Hello! We confirm that we actively keep "our" IP addresses out of major blacklists, including the sector leader Spamhaus. Most address providers mandate that this is done as they want to keep their addresses "clean". Unfortunately there are thousands of black lists so it is not possible to know and intervene on all of them. About the IP address you mention, you can see here that it's "clean" on almost 100% of the minor black lists and on 100% of the major ones. https://check.spamhaus.org/results/?query=213.152.187.235 https://whatismyipaddress.com/blacklist-check https://dnschecker.org/ip-blacklist-checker.php?query=213.152.187.235 https://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=blacklist%3a213.152.187.235&run=toolpage Also, please be aware that some minor lists that you see above include an IP address simply because it is shared, regardless of anything else. Kind regards -
Hello! Error 111 means that the initial SYN packet was forwarded but it was actively rejected by your system or firewall that replies with a TCP RST (reset) packet. Possible causes: either your receiving host VPN interface port does not exist and your system is configured to send back a TCP RST when a packet to a non-existing port is received (instead of silently dropping the packet), or a firewall is configured to reject (and not to drop silently) packets. Please follow this checklist: https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/66388-port-forwarding/?do=findComment&comment=243305 Kind regards

Thank you very much for your reply! I will see if any of this solves the issue. I can already confirm that it doesn't start with my system, so if I want to use the VPN I have to start the application and click on connect. So that leaves us with option 3 and 4, which I'll check!

Partly because I poke fun at human behaviours rather frequently, I find myself tempted to make some harmless observations on our national stereotypes, Alex. In posting here you perhaps satisfy your Germanic requirement for deep detail, and meanwhile when I post, I get to express my English expectation of good manners. One of us may have to leave this conversation a touch disappointed, but his standards are quite exacting. 😝 For readers who are interested in this topic, I will answer the question myself, at least partially. I just found this site, and while I'll not know which scoring device is used for the sites I am having trouble with, it gives an idea of how it might work (and the kinds of report that give rise to it). https://www.abuseipdb.com/check/213.152.187.235 It turns out that yes, IP block owners can engage with abuse reports. From the above page: Do any readers know whether it is would be normal for VPN providers to liaise with the biggest blocklists? (I would imagine it would be a lot of manual work, so I could understand why Air would not want to take it on).

Hello people, I've been using Eddie - AirVPN for months now, on Windows 11 that is. Since about a week or so I've been running into a very annoying issue. Without exception, I had to reinstall the client every day of the week. I would install the VPN, connect to my preferred server and when done using it, I would disconnect and then exit the application. After shutting down or rebooting the PC, the next time it's turned on the VPN doesn't work anymore. I get a handshake timeout and it tries (and fails) again, each and every time. The only working solution I have is to fully reinstall the VPN with software like BcUninstaller or Revo Uninstaller (which delete user folders of applications as well) to get it working again after a reinstall. I have no issues with any other network adapters on the device or on other devices, i've checked my DNS settings as well which are fine too. Having to reinstall the VPN each and every time I turn on my PC gets boring quite quick. I would like to know if there's anything I could try to fix this, I tried manually setting protocols and disabling network lock, neither of which seemed to bring me any luck. If necessary I can send my logs, but for now it's next to empty as I have just reinstalled the application. So I can provide that in a while. Thank you in advance!

Getting Linux Suite working on NixOS

We can of course think in black and white, like there are absolutely zero black sheep among VPN users. Ain't that a nice lullaby to fall asleep to? If anything, the services offered on the internet react to the crap coming from VPN users, because, yes, those people use it as a tool for, well, at least pseudonymity. Now, the question is, why would they do that instead of going via their normal internet connection? Privacy? Yeah, maybe. Geoblock circumvention so they can watch home TV when they're abroad? Sure. But the overwhelming majority obviously wants to do something they themselves don't want to be held liable for. I was a good example for this. Most times its torrenting of copyrighted material, that is, not paying for something other people create, but that won't trigger those automated defense systems. Some also abuse the servers for hacking-related things. Especially the latter people, even if they are a minority, are network-wise excessively loud. This shows in the automated defense systems being triggered for everyone, and that is why you post here with a bit of a rant, because it bothers your experience, obviously. Don't point your finger at the defense systems – point them at all those people who think once they paid for a product they share with others they can do what they want and so sully its reputation. It's so egoistical it's almost human. And it happened before. Okay, so someone contacts the admin team, works with them to remove some server from their blacklist. Job done, right? Problem is, three days later it's on a blacklist again. Do you know why? Because those people from before smell this, and use the unblocked server for their scripting relentlessly. The less walls to overcome there is, the easier the job, the more fun it is. They come back, even recommend the service as one that actively tries to tear down those walls, and they all think it's for the sake of their attacks. The service gets even more abused. Do not contact admins to ask for unblocks, it backfires in the most wondrous ways down the line. And yes, it's very likely a WAF. It's not that the internet is getting more dangerous for users, as the sentiment tends to be around these forums – the users get more dangerous for the hosters, and the hosters react. You really think those walls would be erected without reason? Necessity begets creation. They're not doing this to be a nuisance for VPN users. Service providers like Cloudflare sit in a comfortable position where they can analyze the traffic behavior from many parts of the internet and spot similarities. So I tend to agree with this statement.

Banking website blocks all airvpn servers
inthemeantime replied to MutilatedLips's topic in Blocked websites warning
Yeah, this is a pain; I've seen this screen on other sites. It's a choice made by the technical team at your bank, and mostly the only way to handle it is to ask them to change their blocklist. I can understand why banks would be more worried about VPNs compared to owners of other kinds of web property. If you need a workaround, then consider disconnecting from your VPN temporarily to use this site, or have a cheap second device that doesn't have a VPN on it. It's not an ideal solution, but it's a start. -
Is this on the mobile app, or the web app? The web app has been solid for me for some years, and I always use it with a VPN.

Your grumpy response is amusing, but perhaps not quite the spirit of helpfulness I am seeking. But I shall persist, Alex; you and I probably share a vision of an internet that is nudged into being VPN-friendly. We don't also need to be warring with each other on top of that. When I asked whether AirVPN could do something about it, what I actually meant was that AirVPN should do something about it. Specifically, if there are shared blocklists†, as I suspect, they could work with abuse teams to remove the blacklisting. I used to do some spam-fighting many years ago, with honeypots and the like, and that's exactly the kind of arms race that we had there. Reporters would report spam using the SMTP headers, it would influence various interconnected blocklists in subtle ways, and good service providers would be thus encouraged to terminate abusive accounts. I just contacted the admins of a large site, and I've mentioned their infra is emitting a high number of 429 responses, starting in the last few months, even though I've used them for many years. I've given them an example IP; I'm hopeful they'll come back to me with a concrete reason for their site's behaviour. Interestingly it makes no odds whether I am signed in, so I wonder if there could be some kind of WAF in the way. † Or they could be sharing the same large edge provider e.g. Cloudflare.

Suspicious files related to Eddie
Tech Jedi Alex replied to alohahelo's topic in Eddie - AirVPN Client
Then the results of Hybrid Analysis make even less sense. Debian does not contact snapcraft.io in any way, unless you use Snap. I think they put all results for the same filename in one result page and called it a day, not separating the distributions at all. This is poorly worked out; please do not use that website. -

I had to uncheck "Block private networks and loopback addresses" in the WireGuard interface settings on OPNsense, otherwise the tunnel wouldn’t come up or pass traffic.

Had a similar problem once where WhatsApp kept banning my account out of nowhere. For me, it was linked to using a third-party service for messaging, and switching to a trusted provider like telxi fixed most issues. They made the messaging side more stable and cut down on flags.

I am on Debian 12. Thank you. I assumed it was a false positive because I trust AirVPN greatly. I believe I installed the Eddie client via apt: http://eddie.website/repository/apt stable InRelease I am not using a portable version. Best regards and thank you for your response.
