DNS over TLS not working inside the VPN tunnel
rohko replied to rohko's topic in Troubleshooting and Problems
DNS over TLS seems to work in Windows but not in Arch when the VPN tunnel is on. Looks like the setting DNSOverTLS=opportunistic suffices for now (it disables DoT if it fails). Also, restarting the systemd-resolved service right after the VPN tunnel seems to enable DoT even in Arch. Weird. -
@DatorGyrose Hello! It's a typical WiFi related problem magnified by the usage of a routed virtual network. The best, ideal solution is getting rid of WiFi and use only Ethernet connection. Consider this solution when applicable. When not applicable, please read this article in its entirety first and foremost: https://www.acrylicwifi.com/en/blog/why-are-wifi-channels-1-6-and-11-used-on-2-4ghz/ # for 2.4 GHz WiFi https://computermesh.com/guide-to-5ghz-wifi-best-channels-for-5ghz/ # for 5 GHz WiFi Once you have understood the problem, please make sure that you have a good WiFi signal intensity, exclude other possible, mentioned in the article, sources of interference, then proceed to select a WiFi channel that does not overlap with anything else. Help of a spectrum analyzer software is strongly recommended. If no no-overlapping channel is available (worst case scenario), make sure that the AP or router emits with an intensity of -20dbm to the rest of the interference. Final note: please make sure that when you use Ethernet the WiFi card is turned off and when you use WiFi the Ethernet cable is unplugged, in order to avoid the ambiguity of having the same default gateway on two different physical NICs with a single routing table. Kind regards

Hello, I'm having some wierd issues with Air VPN but seemingly only when i'm connected via Wifi, ethernet (provider router) works fine. Often some sites will take a long time time load, and others work fine. Download speeds are significantly slower than when i'm on my wifi but without the vpn activated or through an ethernet cable (Air VPN on or off). I also experience lag spikes while playing online, wich i do not do in the other configurations. I have noticed that when that happens ipleak.net will show "ipv6 test not reachable" for a bit. Sometimes the connection will slow to a crawl and will become unusable until i manually switch servers. And other times the connection to the servers will drop and Eddie reconnects to another serveur, wich can happen multiple times in a row. I am far from a computer expert and I hope you will be able to help me out. If you have any questions or need more info please ask. Best regards.

I got a month of Mullvad just to test and it won't connect to www.rt.com or swentr.site either, so perhaps rt is using some kind of filtering software? I'm on mobile 4g connection, I will try from my home network next week as I'm working away from home.

What happening? It show me the message "DNS detection - Under maintenance, retry later." Is there any problem? If there is when do we wait for a fix?

@thetechnerd Hello! Eddie Desktop edition development is active and new versions will come out in the near future. This is a correct behavior: by default two instances of Eddie can't run concurrently and you are trying to run two Eddie programs at the same time. You could force Eddie to manage multiple instances but don't do it unless you know exactly what you're doing. From your description it's clear that Eddie starts minimized. In this case you can bring up Eddie's main window by clicking or double-clicking its tray icon in the system tray. Once Eddie's main window is visible, you can modify this behavior in "Preferences" > "UI" window so that Eddie will not start minimized. By default Eddie does not start minimized so you have changed the option "Start minimized" already. Uncheck the tick box of this item and click "Save" to go back to the default behavior. Your last ticket was posted in 2024. All of your tickets have been processed and all the replies include an immediate solution to the problems that each time you experienced (most of the times caused by yourself, honestly...). If you can't read the courtesy e-mail you can consult your ticket section in your AirVPN account "Client Area" > "Support request" > "View all" to verify. Please stop flaming in public, especially under the pretext of false information. Kind regards

Yes I think so. My subscription is up in a year if no meaningful updates by then i'm gone. As an example my icon bar at the bottom of the screen (windows 11), I am always clicking on the eddie icon and getting the message "eddie is already open" so I need to go to the sys tray and right click the eddie icon there and go to open main window. Its a small issue but its irritating, the icon bar, eddie icon should open the eddie main window, not give you useless information. Ive got other issues with airvpn/eddie but its a why bother at this point, ive gone through their "contact us" button for issues with no reply.

I'm having this exact issue on linux mint but with one odd exception. I've got Eddie installed on two different pc's, my main pc runs has an AMD processor/gpu and Eddie runs just fine on it, no lag or visual glitches at all. But on my living room pc, which is a repurposed HP elitedesk with an Intel processor/gpu, it runs exactly like you're experiencing. I read the results you had testing Eddie on Intel and AMD pc's with interest, luckily I have both INTEL and AMD pc's to try this on and get similar results to what you had, interesting indeed. This in turn led to further testing my intel based pc that runs Kubuntu 24, long story short... I reset the KDE theme to the default one under global themes to Kubuntu and that has improved the eddie GU lag, its not as laggy now. This also led to finding out why Eddie was taking longer to check IP4 than it used to, well duh... 2 ports was not in my port alias I set up in opnsense ( Embarrassed ) solved now 🙂

You actually have set a speed limit of 10 kb/s, might have been by accident of clicking that little speedometer icon OMG that's right @ag999. LMAO! Just tested it and was the same. Now I know. I did not know this was a feature to click on that speedometer. 🙈 Hope it helps others... Anyway, I did some CLI speedtests in my gluetun conainer (I have a 1Gbit connection). I think it is what it is... / # speedtest Retrieving speedtest.net configuration... Testing from Global Layer (213.152.161.181)... Retrieving speedtest.net server list...

Tried both wireguard and openvpn. Even the alternative site swentr.site doesn't work. If I switch off the VPN I can reach the swentr.site address. The problem is only when using air vpn. I get an nxdomain error. Only airvpn DNS servers are listed on the ipleak test.

UK Infrastructure upgrade to 10 Gbit/s full duplex
Philiberti replied to Staff's topic in News and Announcement
Great news regarding the new high capacity servers in the UK. The increased capacity is fantastic but why the reduction of choice from 15 servers currently to 6? I tend to choose servers randomly to avoid making a predictable pattern for my ISP to follow (I could be competely wrong about that so please let me know if that is the case). Regards -
I'm not sure if my issue is similar enough or if I should make my own topic, but I thought I'd post here first Since yesterday I noticed slow speeds when going through VPN, roughly 5-10% of what I usually had On my NAS (running Unraid), I have some containers that are bound to go through VPN, the speed for those containers has dropped significantly. On the same NAS I also have a container running for speedtests, which does not go through the VPN, which gets about the maximum speeds possible from my provider. On my PC, using speedtest.net, I get full speeds. But when I start Eddie and test with VPN enabled (same server), I get the same low speeds as my NAS does. edit: I just tested a different server (Berlin, Germany instead of one in Stockholm, Sweden) and while I still don't get nearly the same as without VPN, it's much closer (Without: ~1Gbit/s, Berlin-VPN: ~220Mbit/s, Stockholm-VPN: ~90Mbit/s). Still, until recently I always got close to what my connection offers Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot what exactly is causing this?

Dear AirVPN Team, The open-source project privacy.sexy (https://privacy.sexy/) perfectly aligns with your mission to defend online freedom and user anonymity. Developed by a dedicated independent creator (https://github.com/undergroundwires), it delivers a rich library of scripts that harden Windows, macOS, and Linux systems against privacy and security risks without requiring compiled code. What makes this project exceptional is its practical simplicity. With a few generated commands, even non-technical users can protect themselves from vulnerabilities like Windows telemetry or DNS leaks caused by Smart Multi-Homed Name Resolution. It empowers everyday users to reclaim control over their data and reduce exposure to corporate tracking. I had a personal exchange with the developer some years ago, and I can attest to his humility and strong community spirit. As a college student from India, I lack the means to contribute financially, but I believe his work deserves steadfast support from organizations like yours that champion privacy-focused innovation. If possible, please consider providing monthly financial assistance or any recurring support to strengthen this initiative’s reach and sustainability. A contributor like you could help ensure this project continues to undermine exploitative data collection practices from big tech. Best regards, Pushanjith Ravi

Maybe it's just me, but I find it odd that Eddie has not been updated in over a year. Version 2.24.6 was release January 8th 2025. That's over a year. There's not even been an experimental version released since then. Should we be concerned that Eddie is coming stagnant?

I too would appreciate support for this list being added.

What is "batch mode" ? How to rotate servers?
MikeHawkener replied to MikeHawkener's topic in Eddie - AirVPN Client
thanks @Tech Jedi Alex I figured that with so little no documentation, it wouldn't provide a feature like that. I just couldn't understand any use case for the batch mode as currently implemented. you could just add 'connect' ('connect=True') and it'll automatically connect. I mean 2 options 'x' and 'n' makes the interactive mode almost irrelevant. you can always do Ctrl-C, so now you don't need 'x', 'n' would be useful if you could cycle servers in the servers.allowlist. but it usually just reconnects to the same server. oh well I guess it'll be fun making my own scripts -

If all other not working, then my setup could be wrong but the reality is: Most VPNs works on my Ubuntu. -

HowTo: OPNsense using Wireguard with IPv6 support
Joe Bleau replied to OPN-UserGuide's topic in How-To
I am unable to make IPv6 port forwarding work. Everything else works, I can connect to sites with IPv6, I can connect to the service locally in IPv6, but the port is always closed from outside. Testing from the client area always shows Connection timed out (110). Can anyone confirm if they got this to work? Is it a bug in pfSense? -
Thank you Staff. I already use 3.3.0 on android and it works flawlessly using wireguard protocol. Never even a flinch its perfect. Since I am not really dealing with country firewalls like China I don't know if amnezia wireguard would add anything to my scenario. I don't need it for now but since I am redoing my setup I figured why not --- however as you quoted using a "beta" might create ongoing issues for me. Community: The real issue is I won't use openvpn because my Wireguard is over twice as fast and is flawless. However; I am stuck with openvpn on my router until I switch it out. It is not a model that openwrt supports at all and the mfg has stated it won't update to wireguard vpn on this router. Boooo! So is there a way to wireguard walking around with my Android and yet somehow use an app to openvpn into my router like I do now using the router certificate? Can't visualize how to quite do this short of manually logging in and out all the time, but I prefer to setup an automatic handshake and keep life simple. Maybe split tunneling where I VPN Android Eddie wireguard for everything (excluding the router app) and then have the router app OFF vpn (split tunnel option). In this fashion I could then manually connect to LAN since the app is outside of the Wireguard VPN tunnel and openvpn would still function well just slower than wireguard ever is. BUT - then how if at all to automate this process when I leave the house and wifi drops going back to data use?

Appreciate the enlightenment. My thoughts exactly, unfortunately it's not possible to customize Apple devices to prefer ipv4 over ipv6. Wouldn't it be beneficial to maybe add a new option to select what records to return for scenarios like this? Either way, I think adding this key detail to the Ports page (yellow section) would be beneficial to users.

Hello! We're able to answer to this question only and we'll leave the other matter to community discussion. Unfortunately not, version 4.0.0 beta 2 is unstable and not production ready. Beta 3 version is imminent and addresses this instability and various nasty bugs. By the way, if you need OpenVPN, you can reliably use Eddie Android 3.3.0, the stable version, which is rock solid. Eddie 4 beta versions anyway do not add anything relevant to OpenVPN except minor OpenVPN-AirVPN library updates. Kind regards
