  4. Hi, I don't seem to be completely sure how to add VPN addresses to Android VPN settings. Android version devices: 16 7.0 6.0 4.4
  5. Hi, AirVpn may want to consider an add-on service for dedicated / virtual private ip addresses. Although TorGuard Net apparently is from China does offer dedicated ip addresses option. Easier to keep these IPs off of spam filter and blacklists. I know the cost will likely be alot more for obvious reasons.
  6. Hi, It seems that sometimes this error gets displayed while trying to login. We're sorry, our tubes are clogged up. Were working to deliver more tubes on a bigger truck and solve the problem. The internet's. <<< THE GOOGLE --- AirVPN >>>. the internet is not something you just dump on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes. And you don't understand those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it's going to bre delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material. --United States Senator Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) www.TeamBio.org

  8. So I've been trying to chase the higher speeds again, can someone confirm if using MTU 1380 rather than custom and disabling "AirVPN anti-geolocation system" in the DNS settings for the device, seems to improve download and upload speeds for them? I've tested in WireGuard, with the setting on, got around 180Mbps, and 50Mbps down, disabled the setting and achieved 300Mbps down, 78Mbps up (I was uploading in the background and this saw an uplift from 1.5Mb/s on the file to 2.5Mb/s instantly when the change pushed through). Not the speeds I had, and maybe like 15% of my capacity but still an improvement to the same server, same test destination, minutes apart.
  9. Why don't we delete the account that has used the most data once a month. Airvpn would make money, users could get maybe get a discount of that money (might not exceed one penny per user but a good idea).
  10. Hello! The keys are key here. AirVPN infrastructure knows who you are from your key and knows your VPN IP address according to that key (as WireGuard doesn't support DHCP). Your account remotely forwarded ports are linked to "All devices" or to "Default" device, which is the only key you have, so the problem must lie elsewhere. If your NixOS VM is attached to the host via NAT, please make sure that the incoming packets are properly forwarded by the host to the final VM running qBittorrent. Kind regards
  11. Hi again 👋 After some more testing I think I’ve figured out what’s going on, but I’d like confirmation from the AirVPN team. Here’s my setup: UniFi Gateway (UCG) running a WireGuard VPN client Endpoint: gb3.vpn.airdns.org (AirVPN) Traffic Policy: all traffic from my NixOS server is routed through the AirVPN tunnel Application: qBittorrent on that NixOS VM Port Forwarding: I generated a port in my AirVPN client area (for example 38649) and set qBittorrent to listen on the same port with UPnP/NAT-PMP disabled The VPN works fine — my IP shows as AirVPN’s (e.g. 37.120.x.x), and speeds are good — but no matter which port I assign, qBittorrent and every external port-checking site still report the port as closed. From what I can tell, UniFi’s built-in WireGuard client connects using only the raw keypair and doesn’t provide AirVPN with any device certificate or account identifier, so the AirVPN server can’t associate my active connection with the port forwards in my account. That would explain why inbound packets never reach my NixOS VM even though the tunnel itself works for outbound traffic. Can anyone confirm whether AirVPN’s remote port forwarding currently works with third-party WireGuard clients on routers (like UniFi)? And if not, is there any way to manually link my UniFi WireGuard public key to a “device” in my AirVPN account so the forwarded ports (e.g. 38649) can be tied to that tunnel?
  12. @Pilly Hello! Please start from here: https://airvpn.org/faq/port_forwarding/ Follow this checklist if you experience any problem: https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/66388-port-forwarding/?do=findComment&comment=243305 Kind regards
  13. Any port that is choose when connected to VPN via Wireguard says cant connect Connection timed out (110) Any way of making this work?
  14. Automatic is difficult because most sites and providers do not block VPNs based on data traffic but on an IP list. You can try selecting OPENVPN over SSL as the protocol. However, it is significantly slower than Wireguard. Otherwise, the only option is to manually switch servers yourself and make a note of which ones worked. I have opened a separate topic for this. It would be great if you could write down the sites you are having problems with and the servers you were able to solve the problem with there.
  15. Okay, I've now responded to a few posts here, and the question is always the same: “Site XY is blocked, how do I solve the problem?” I wanted to offer a solution here that is so simple that anyone can try it themselves. All you have to do is choose a different server. Yes, it's annoying in some cases, but it helps in all cases. Maybe we can create a list here together with pages that are blocked and their servers that are not yet blocked. That way, others can save themselves the search for the golden piggy. I'll start: Reddit: Server UK Arion, works great. YouTube: Server Germany Fuyue, works great.
  16. You just can't give up so quickly and look for complicated solutions. AIRVPN offers so many different servers that you can easily test yourself. For YouTube, for example, the German server Fuyue works very well without blocking and without captcha queries.
  17. You just have to try more. I also relied on the AirVPN routes page at first and thought, well, that's too bad. But then I used my experience. If you're new here, you should know that no matter which VPN you use, in 90 percent of cases, servers from the UK are not blocked for whatever reason. Reddit works great with the Arion server.
  18. I would like to add to the guide that it is now unnecessary to go through the complicated steps using the downloader. You can simply download Eddie from the Amazon Appstore and install it. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. But beware, the new 2025 models of the Amazon FireTV stick, code name “Select,” no longer support sideloading, so even the big sponsor NordVPN has been removed from the home page for the first time.
  19. @Staff Great, thank you for the quick reply. I'm very excited to see what else you come up with. Yes, with some things I don't care about performance, I just want to get the most security out of Eddie. Which leads me to another question. I understand the OpenVPN over SSL, and I've already found the function, but unfortunately Android Eddie doesn't say which of the “if your ISP block” options is the SSL or SSH tunnel, or is that not available for Android? Best regards
  20. @StylishSpecter Hello! Not hidden, and anyway you can use them without Eddie. They are available respectively it is in the "Preferences" > "DNS" window and in "Preferences" > "Protocols" window. Eddie sets the DNS you wish, then it's up to you to ensure compatibility with specific protocols you want. Or you can just use the DNS over TLS or HTTPS of the VPN DNS - totally useless of course as the DNS is inside the VPN but anyway available. Eddie does not apply trivial decoys (except the padding offered by wg) you mention (which unfortunately are very or totally ineffective against blocks) but offers the much more effective feature (against blocks and pattern analysis) to encrypt the tunnel inside another tunnel, using OpenVPN abilities. In particular you can tunnel the VPN traffic inside a SOCKS proxy, an HTTPS proxy, an SSH tunnel and a pure TLS tunnel. Such features are more effective but come at a price: performance hit. Trivial, less noble decoys that are not so effective but are surely more performance friendly are anyway under consideration, stay tuned! Kind regards
  21. Hello, where is this function hidden in Eddie? I've combed through every corner of the settings and haven't found Network Decoy or anything similar to activate. I also wanted to set up my own DNS, but neither the DNS over TLS nor the DNS over HTTPS address worked. Eddie only lets me enter the IP address, but not the address, and then I can't press save. Is my Eddie malfunctioning, or am I overlooking something? Best regards and thanks for your reply. " Disguise Your Traffic By turning on Decoy Traffic, the Windscribe app will generate random activity over the tunnel and upload/download random data at chosen intervals. This helps anonymize your activity and is especially important in areas of heavy censorship, when doing any type of “high risk” activity." An excerpt from the Windscribe website, and this should also be possible with Eddie?
  22. @StylishSpecter Hello! Both decoy traffic and usage of DNS over TLS (external or internal) have been available in Eddie since several years ago. On the server side you may connect an OpenVPN client over a stunnel or SSH tunnel previously established, you are not forced to run proprietary software. It is proven that currently AIs are able to discern from the pattern which web site you visit when you are connected to AirVPN only in 2% of the cases of real world usage, which is consistent with the paper you linked (see Tor avg. accuracy of 2.96%, negligible). Please note that the accuracy reported in the paper you linked is inferred from a not very realistic usage, where the target visited only 775 URLs in total (they discarded anything else for the analysis from the global proxy traffic). We add, on our side, that a double blind test in real world usage (where you do NOT filter out a selected amount of URLs before starting the guessing analysis) caused failure rates dramatically higher. Kind regards
  23. Hi AirVPN forum. I have a problem - I can't connect to any server in the server list. I could for two-three days ago but now - It doesn't work. - I have reinstalled the software - I've been into the client area and renewed the certificate. Attached an image over my log. Any thoughts regarding solutions?
  24. No, I'm not worried. Their reputation and performance show that it works, even though I can't understand how. I think if we look at these two sites Hermann/Wendolsky/Federrath 2009, How Data Brokers Sell , it's clear that it's more than just marketing. If someone is targeting your connection, an encrypted VPN connection is no longer an obstacle. I would really welcome these features in Eddie. I mean, let's take a look at Mullvad or Windscribe—both have implemented a method that makes it possible to put powerful obstacles in the way of data analysis and brokers. As a techie, I love that Eddie has very few settings that it doesn't recognize. But among all the technical adjustments that make it a very good VPN for me, there are small things missing, such as decoy traffic or the ability to use external DNS providers with DNS over TLS.
  25. You don't worry about that, that's our business and we can assure you that we're good at math and that the business model is sustainable, as 15 years of activity show. No, it's not necessary for this use case: you need Tor over VPN and not VPN over Tor to hide your ISP from detecting Tor usage and hide our servers from knowing your actual Internet usage. This solution meets the needs you mentioned and can also be used with WireGuard. Just start the VPN connection and then, when you need it, use the Tor browser for your browsing needs, for example. We understand that it may be good for marketing fluff, but it's a solution that does not deserve much consideration, because it is against the most basic rules of safety. To understand why, just think about how the circuit is built. Furthermore, it does not hide Tor usage from your ISP. Tor over VPN and Tor alone are not a VPN side feature (except in the sense that the VPN infrastructure must not block Tor usage, of course). The fact that it is being advertised as a "premium feature" sadly says a lot about what kind of people is targeted by such ads. Yes, as usual, we were the first to offer specific anti-blocking techniques starting from 2012 and we kept adding new connection modes which are effective (AirVPN bypasses > 80% of the blocks according to a recent paper). We are working to further increase that percentage through new connection modes in the near future, and because it's always a cat and mouse game, stay tuned! However, please do not expect marketing fluff and ads for gullible people, it's not our style. Kind regards
  26. Sorry for the late answer, but have you tried Eddie 2.21.8? It works fine for me. 2.24.6 crashes at startup on a M1 mac on Tahoe and is very unstable on an Intel Mac under Ventura : it activates network lock when not asked ; disconnects a lot, then gets in a loop trying to unsuccessfully connect to every server then refuses to quit.
  27. This is merely my observation. I don't understand the code. I feel that DCO should be compatible with Tap and Tun. Could this be due to some directives in the OVPN configuration file being incompatible with DCO? I learned about the dual-side acceleration for both servers and clients from the update notes of the ovpn-dco-win 2.x series. The 2.x series explicitly added a DCO server mode, while the 1.x series defaulted to client mode. Since two modes have been introduced, dual-side acceleration must have been implemented. The OpenVPN 2.7 series on Windows uses the ovpn-dco-win 2.x series driver, while the previous 2.6 series used the 1.x series driver. Comparing 1.0.0...2.4.0 · OpenVPN/ovpn-dco-win · GitHub
  28. Hi, Issue affects Windows 11/10. Air Vpn won't open window or refuses to. It goes through startup process and elevates it's permissions but never opens. Never shows as system tray Eddie icon and system tray taskbar settings has no Eddie icon. I than removed and disabled Eddie from processes. Performed regular uninstall and cleaned up any leftovers with a uninstaller app, restarted system. Downloaded and installed Eddie, restarted system. Same thing happened and no system tray icon again.
