What’s your take on TikTok and privacy concerns?
fishbasketballaries replied to danielmartinhq's topic in Off-Topic
Worth noting that this thread was likely opened by the operator of this "TikTok 18+" website. The email address (danielmartinhq @ gmail.com) on the About Us page shares the same name as the OP. The whole website looks incredibly shady. The app download serves a 135.4 KiB APK file. For comparison, the official TikTok app is 456.9 MiB. No thanks! -
Simple old computer, Ubuntu Desktop 24.04.4lts that is now my media server, Jellyfin. It DID have Eddie-gui installed when it had a working GPU, gpu got damaged while installing a new HDDso switch to the IGPU. Eddie refused to boot noting missing gtk, audio drivers, and something else i cant remember, and so i purge uninstalled the eddie-gui. Switched to Eddie-cli from the actual download page (not the one that came with Eddie-gui). So the command im running is as followed and does connect and runs fine eddie-cli -login=********* -password='*********' connect --server='Helvetios' --netlock --remember --event.vpn.up.filename='qbittorrent' --log.file.enabled Log is as followed (after changing the command alot ) Eddie version: 2.24.6 / linux_x64, System: Linux, Name: Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS, Version: 24.04.4 LTS (Noble Numbat), Framework: .NET 8.0.11 . 2026.02.23 12:18:00 - Command line arguments (11): path.resources="/usr/share/eddie-cli" login="*********" password="***********" connect="True" server="Helvetios" netlock="True" remember="True" event.vpn.up.filename="qbittorrent" log.file.enabled="True" . 2026.02.23 12:18:01 - Elevated: Command:session-key . 2026.02.23 12:18:01 - Elevated: Command:bin-path-add . 2026.02.23 12:18:01 - Collect network information . 2026.02.23 12:18:01 - Reading options from /home/hp-printer/.config/eddie/default.profile . 2026.02.23 12:18:02 - OpenVPN - Version: 2.6.14 - OpenSSL 3.0.13 30 Jan 2024, LZO 2.10 (/usr/sbin/openvpn) . 2026.02.23 12:18:02 - SSH - Version: OpenSSH_9.6p1 Ubuntu-3ubuntu13.14, OpenSSL 3.0.13 30 Jan 2024 (/usr/bin/ssh) . 2026.02.23 12:18:02 - SSL - Version: 5.72 (/usr/bin/stunnel4) . 2026.02.23 12:18:02 - Service systemd-resolved restarted . 2026.02.23 12:18:02 - Activation of Network Lock - Linux nftables I 2026.02.23 12:18:23 - Press 'X' to exit (or disconnect), 'N' to connect/reconnect to the best available server.

What’s your take on TikTok and privacy concerns?
Stalinium replied to danielmartinhq's topic in Off-Topic
Never used Tiktok and never will. It's Facebook/Instagram dialed to 100. Did you know that every Tiktok share link is uniquely tied to the user? It explains why these links expire after some time like 1-2 months and then just open up a random video. If privacy wasn't bad enough, I refuse to open myself up to brain rot. That's all I wish to say about Tiktok. I think Open Sourcerer brought up good points. And the tiktok18 website he mentioned... why does it have AI generated images instead of screenshots? 🪿 why? 🪿 The permission explainer at the bottom looks like a red flag on its own. I have a real example too. Youtube Vanced is a great community project. Yet someone else made a high ranking SEO-copycat website of unknown origin and ownership. Oh and don't be misled by Github pages that appear personal. I've seen enough malware pages posing as Github repositories - I wasnt going to confirm, I trust my instinct when something looks fishy. The kind where there's only a readme page, no code, yet an .exe under Releases. Overall I am way more distrustful of smartphone apps than I ever was of Windows shareware... despite the sandbox capabilities of Android. If I had to categorize the threats: Computer: old school trojans, that only messed up your system or trolled you, are all but gone. Instead you'll either catch an infostealer (to exfiltrate browser cookies and passwords that can be sold on the black market for further phishing and scams) or a cryptolocker (ransomware) Phone: telemetry to refine your ad profile and connect the dots in the sea of Big Data Phone: hijacked ads (an app mod overwrites the ad network account to receive money themselves while you use this app) Phone: full screen ads from an app that hides itself from the user. I have had to uninstall one of those not too long ago and it came from the Play Store Phone: access to calls/SMS for further phishing Phone: (rare) malware with exploits to escape the sandbox and then likely to target banking applications or whatever Server: untargeted attacks want to implant a cryptominer or use your server for DDoS Arguably the landscape is more hostile than it was many years ago. More people on the internet, more internet services, especially financial, are all reasons for increased criminal activity. We will not have our peace of mind until the desktop operating systems turn their APIs upside down and start sandboxing programs by default. Only then will any occasional malware damage be localized. What does Microsoft care about instead? Reinforcing their Windows kernel to exert more control. All while any user-run program can encrypt everything that the user has access to and cares about: their data and photos. Ahhhhhh rant over -
Thanks! You are right I didn't notice both are M247. Here is my guess what the special way is: known 'VPN subnets' are in DPI whitelist mode. This means the protocol must be explicitly detected to be allowed. by default the rest of the internet is in DPI blacklist mode. Protocol must be detected to be blocked. Otherwise it is allowed by default. This would explain why Hetzner servers can slowly serve HTTPS but junk packet Wireguard connections fail. This is something to confirm later

What was the last sale price at Christmas 2025?
Tech Jedi Alex replied to r0lex's topic in General & Suggestions
One of the Tenets of IT says to never ask a user a question you can easily answer yourself. In this case, it's on the first page of the Announcenment forum still. Please at lease use the search feature before asking any question; you'll find people often won't serve you the answer on a silver platter (they're not AI agents, after all). In any case, the next expected sale is the End of Season sale with usually 25% off for all plans >= 12 months compared to the usual price for these plans at the end of March.A 35% discount for all plans >= 6 months is done on AirVPN birthdays in May, Easter, Black Friday and Christmas sales.If you compare them to the monthly price, yeah, your discount appears immense, but it's a simple trick and not grounded in reality at all – nobody buys three years by paying 36 times the price of a full month. Works legally, though. -
Better search/filter/tools on Servers list
Tech Jedi Alex replied to airtxt's topic in General & Suggestions
This has been done in the past, and dropped, probably because it can be abused too easily for DoS. Unsaveable unless logged in. And if logged in, it's a superfluous data point for abuse. Requires saving past servers. A similar feature, the connection archive, was a feature in the past as well, and was eliminated due to privacy concerns. You may use the AirVPN API to fetch the list of servers and do some filtering/grouping magic with command line tooling locally instead. Open a thread if you need help with that, someone is always willing to hack away with you -
These servers are not blocked if using QUIC whitelisted SNI spoof. However a simple junk isn't enough to unblock them, probably because M247 (and other similar hosting services) are targeted in a special way

HowTo: OPNsense using Wireguard with IPv6 support
mandewltmu replied to OPN-UserGuide's topic in How-To
Hi. I followed this today and had a pretty smooth ride, so thanks for that. The new version of OPNSense looks to have changed a couple of things. I'm running OPNsense 26.1.2_5-amd64 - FreeBSD 14.3-RELEASE-p8 - OpenSSL 3.0.19 Looks like in 5.2.1 "Port Forward" under NAT has been renamed to "Destination NAT". In the same section in 5.2.7 "DNS" isn't an available choice for the port, so I used "53". -

Support privacy.sexy: Strengthen Open-Source Privacy Tools
Tech Jedi Alex replied to Pushenjith Ravi's topic in Nonprofit
Nice project, definitely one I will remember. I skimmed the Linux commands and as a tech guy I find them a bit overeager at times – and at other times even downright unnecessary. But this is where the presets come in. The choices there are quite good. Standard is not too destructive and probably the recommendation for the "general netizen". Strict includes overeager options for those who don't trust their computer too much. All includes a few things I deem completely unnecessary. I think it's for people who don't even trust their wired keyboard – or their wife, or something. Though, before you use All, maybe use Qubes OS or Tails instead. Probably a similar experience, but without the need for all the deleting. -

Taiwan VPN is not accessible on my ubuntu
Tech Jedi Alex replied to andy168coder's topic in General & Suggestions
Could you please check whether you can reach the Wireguard port in the first place? $ nc -zvw3 sulafat.airservers.org 1637 If nc is not there or you get errors about unknown options, install netcat-traditional: # apt-get install netcat-traditional . -

Hello, I am a noob and I am having trouble with getting my port successfully forwarded, specifically for seeding. I'm running this on my Unraid NAS, through a Wireguard tunnel for the Qbittorrent and -Arr containers. I arbitrarily picked a port to forward in the client area and entered that in my torrent client settings as well (listening port 28074). IP check via Firefox (through the same Wireguard tunnel) shows that I was going through the VPN. Testing speed via Cloudflare showed successful read for upload as well. I managed to successfully download the contents of the torrent, but now it won't seed. Upload stays at 0. When I go to canyouseeme.org via Firefox and enter that port (correct IP address is listed), I get this: "Error: could not see your port. Reason: connection timed out." I'm using hotio's repo for Qbittorrent FYI I am at a loss. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks.

@ASiC666 FYI, NextDNS user here. If you haven't tried them yet, I highly recommend them. The controls, logging, and features are quite powerful, and easy to use/navigate. Side note.. you can also use NextDNS with Wireguard/AirVPN by just adding them in the wireguard tunnel config files (even though that's not what you were asking about).
-
@Paum not sure if you pulled the trigger yet, but it's definitely worth it. Great service that I've used all around the world. Long time customer here. I've tried several more commercial solutions, and even ran my own OpenVPN and Wireguard servers (at home, as well as in the cloud) -- mostly because I really just enjoy security/IT/networking stuff. But yeah, AirVPN has definitely been a standout for me in terms of performance and reliability.

Here are some suggestions for improving the server listing page. Some of these features are baked into your Eddie client, and would be awesome to have on the web page: Proximity/location-based sorting/filtering - continent, country, state, city. Anything to help narrow down Load sorting/filtering - sort or filter list by current server load Latency testing/sorting/filtering - if user is not connected to vpn, execute a ping test, similar to https://gameserverping.com/ping-test Favorite/star - user can mark favorites Recently used / most used by user - I often go searching down the list for the ones I most commonly connect to.

What is "batch mode" ? How to rotate servers?
Tech Jedi Alex replied to MikeHawkener's topic in Eddie - AirVPN Client
About that.. the community already did so. Have a look at these:. -
Hi I hope you're having a lovely day. The network interface names in the Linux kernel are limited to 16 characters including the null terminator. This means your name can actually only have 15 chars. The longest valid name is "0123456789abcde.conf" where ".conf" doesn't count. Wireguard tools behave dumb with regards to this and take the entire file name as the interface name. Predictably it fails when the file name is too long. wg-quick shows the following error with long names: "wg-quick: `verylongconfignamehere1234567890' does not exist" or "wg-quick: The config file must be a valid interface name, followed by .conf" Wireguards Android app when you try to import a long config: "Unable to import tunnel: invalid name" The problem is that the Config Generator creates very long names. Here's one: "AirVPN_CA-Toronto-Ontario_Gorgonea_UDP-1637-Entry3.conf". There doesn't exist an option to make it generate shorter names. Not only is it up to the user to figure out, why the original config is invalid, but renaming them is a chore too. The shortest legible name format I can come up with is something like "GB-Westerl1637.conf". One more char left or two, if you consider the dash. If you wanted to fit more crucial information namely IPv4 or IPv6 entry and entry IP, it's not gonna look pretty: "GB43Westerl1637.conf" and if the port needed 5 digits, the name would've been cut off more. This is something that has been bothering me for a while with AirVPN and Wireguard. Thanks for reading.

Thank you for your replies. I have not tried the new Eddie yet, sticking to AmneziaWG and the basic upstream Wireguard-compatible config. I.e. without H1-H4 or I1-I5. I wanted to record the following findings: Jc=33 Jmin=132 Jmax=1200 H1=1 H2=2 H3=3 H4=4 I my renewed desperation config. Maybe the old one from a couple posts above works, maybe these new values needed. I am not sure yet. The key finding is this: some more AirVPN servers are blocked in Russia. I don't know exactly through which method. I can confirm this config works and you need to test more servers until you find one that you can connect to. It would be great if someone could confirm either with the QUIC spoof or the simple junk config: BE Diadema Entry 3 UDP 1637 is blocked BE Mebsuta Entry 3 UDP 1637 is blocked I don't want to disclose more info than necessary, but sharing problematic servers should be safe ;)
