Yes, it's a mix. We could consider to publish this data actually. To be honest an owned server offers negligible security bonus over a leased one, unfortunately. Globally we work with 18 different dacenter owners / providers with servers in 33 different towns (physically, not with address re-location) and with transit served by, or direct peering with, all the "14 giant" tier 1 networks except Telxius/Telephonica and Sparkle, as well as a few important tier 2 providers. In the VPN infrastructure M247 has a 3% presence in America, 36% presence in Europe (but 14% in terms of total available bandwidth), 95% in Asia, 0% in Oceania. Leaseweb has 0% presence anywhere, there's not even a single VPN server in Leaseweb. Kind regards

Hello! Yes. The kernel already does a wonderful job to distribute fairly bandwidth, aided by the excellent ability to scale of WireGuard. OpenVPN is a little more problematic but we force a round robin distribution of peers on different instances to balance core load. Where a limit must be enforced artificially is in the amount of concurrent connections INSIDE the tunnel. Normally we allow the maximum amount supported by a powerful home router, i.e. 20000 concurrent connections per node. This limit is usually not even noticed by the users as it is well beyond the usage of virtually all of our user base. Kind regards

AirVPN hardware owned or leased?
Tech Jedi Alex replied to willowvpn's topic in General & Suggestions
It's mostly M247 with some others sprinkled all around, like Netrouting, Leaseweb, etc. -
Read Finanztip's article on internet providers first, it's got most of that info. No such thing with DSL or Fiber. Though, you should care about latency as it impacts the throughput. Well, I've been using Telekom for more than a decade now (with a short two year pause when I lived in Hannover where I had to use Vodafone Kabel DE, it was enough to never subscribe to them again). Never had problems with VPN connections with Telekom.

@oilers You know I was playing around with transmission and have come to the same conclusion - just stay with what works! qBittorrent it is!!!

Hi All, Question and a maybe a suggestion: Is any load balancing between the users taking place? What I mean is if, for example, I open hundreds of connections to usenet, will I ruin the day for the rest of the airvpn users on that server? If yes, maybe some sort of load balancing needs to take place then? I am not talking about slicing statically a server across on the users logged. Rather dynamically balance the available bandwidth across. Ta

Absolutely stay with qbittorrent. It still functions perfectly well on MacOS, and you can still bind it to the VPN to avoid leaks which you cannot do with other clients.

just install it via docker or use transmission -
AirVPN hardware owned or leased?
oassQ9w4cbl4AySZhhth%p36x replied to willowvpn's topic in General & Suggestions
as far as i know its all leased after stringent vetting process. servers have been discontinued at times in places which the safety and quality can't be reasonably assured. -

solved it. Plugged in a screen and ran it as the main user. -
Looking at the server list I wonder Has AirVPN owned or leased servers? If it's a mix, how do I know which servers are owned/leased? Which provider is used for each server?

I've been a longtime qBittorrent user on Windows. But I'm now migrating to macOS. I was going to go qBittorrent again but their site says it's "barely supported". I could try it on macOS and see how I get on but then maybe it's time to try Transmission or something else...just got me thinking... 🤔 So, I wanted to reach out for any current torrent client recommendations for macOS. Thanks for any advice or steer.

Hi all, I'm looking for suggestions for a good internet provider in Germany (big-city urban area). I'm currently with Vodafone and I'm done with them: confusing offers, price hikes, long contracts, the usual nightmare. What I want: Use my own router Option for a public, routable IPv4 (not necessarily static) so I can host a small website/service. I know AirVPN can do many things, but a real public IP would be ideal Transparent pricing and reasonably short contract terms (or month-to-month) Less aggressive marketing campaign I don't care so much about latency, but high total data volume per month is important Bonus: providers that are popular with more technical users I'm also open to using an Italian SIM and roaming if that's a reasonable alternative (anyone doing that for stable home internet?).

Hello! You could also consider FreeBSD. In certain respects, such as documentation, uniformity, internal consistency, security, and compliance with the Unix philosophy (no systemd here, for example!), it is vastly superior to most Linux distributions. Kernel is in several fields (but not all) remarkably faster than Linux kernel. Think about this: while in Linux we have a kernel that is the foundation for hundreds (or thousands) of different distributions, each with its own standards, package managers, directory hierarchies, and init systems, in FreeBSD we have a unified development model where the kernel and the operating system are developed together by a single, large team, with contributions from the broader community. This ensures a more cohesive and consistent experience across the entire system. For software developers (just in case you will like to develop), it means that releasing applications for FreeBSD is simpler. No need to worry about the variations between different Linux distributions, with differing conventions, package managers, libraries, init systems, directory structures, making FreeBSD a more predictable and streamlined platform for development. However, hardware support is much more limited, and several DRM tools are missing, so you cannot directly enjoy various streaming services, which is paradoxical in a way when you consider that various Internet giants such as Netflix prefer FreeBSD (Netflix also actively contributes back to the FreeBSD project, with over a thousand commits documented, and is committed to upstreaming customizations that have general applicability). Furthermore, we have not yet released dedicated software for FreeBSD but we are seriously thinking about it. FreeBSD is also the 1st and exclusive choice for major gaming platforms by Sony (PS4, PS5), running customized versions of the old FreeBSD 9, and Nintendo (Wii, Switch, Switch 2...). My 2 cents pushed by renewed enthusiasm towards FreeBSD (since 2019 I dropped Linux and I don't run anymore any Linux system on my desktop computers). 😋 Kind regards

My 2 cents: I use and love Manjaro. But within Arch its really more about the desktop environment. I'm a KDE fan. The "stable" branch of Manjaro was WAY too slow moving for me. I'd stay away from the "testing" branch as well given your "safe, stable" goals. That branch is CONSTANTLY breaking (as they warn it will - to be fair). I run the "unstable" branch which sounds spooky but its really just production Arch before the Manjaro team has a chance to meddle with things in the "testing" branch. Honestly if you're running unstable Manjaro the argument is there to just run vanilla Arch / KDE. I like nice installers tho As far as Eddie goes, I just run the version in the AUR. Debian is for stable servers IMO. Arch for desktops, but everyone has their own opinion. Hell, try Hannah Montana Linux if that floats your boat!

Hi Folks, 2 small questions: I have to re-install Eddie again. Which flavor should i use ? Now i have a Manjaro System. Childhood is over. I want to setup up a new, safe, stable system.My Goals: improving networking,security and coding skills. No Disneyland. Do you think Debian would the tight OS for me ? Thank you so much. Jockel

Hello! "Connection timed out" sounds expected and correct, just like it was with the OP, since you don't run any listening program according to your description. The only difference here is that "no port open" message means that the device the port is linked to is not connected to the VPN, or no device at all is connected, if the port is linked to "All devices". Kind regards

Hey AirVPN - Team, not OP, but similar problem. I’ve been trying to figure out an error that I get within my setup and I think, it comes down to AirVPN. I hadn’t tested the forwarded port on the AirVPN - Website but when doing so, I get a „connection timed out (110)“ message, for example for port 55056. (on Desktop!) On mobile (through the website) I just get „no port open“ (when testing the just opened port). The server used for testing is in a capital city in Europe. Is something wrong with port forwarding in general or am I doing something wrong? Thanks and all the best!

Great! I actually managed to grab the stream via the dev console; no 403 errors. Turns out they don't geo-block the live stream link.

With the right QUIC packet from one specific Russian website, even "16 kbyte" blocked servers are successfully working! Thanks for the update and hopefully this can be added to PC Eddie eventually

Hello! Maybe the app is minimized: can you please check your system's tray icon? Eddie's tray icon is a small cloud in a circle. If you find it, by double clicking it (or clicking and selecting "Show Main Window") you should be able to bring up Eddie's main window. Please make sure that you can see hidden tray icons too. Kind regards
