Have no idea why.  If anyone knows of other US servers where one can get back to work on this site, please share.

	I am currently in the EU. A friend flew me out here to get me away from the Trump regime, which has been ****ing with my family and livelihood, but I need to work to make money and figure out what I'm going to do with my life (I'm working on a nomad visa).  
	 
	I seem to have mixed luck here. On a couple exit IPs from the USA, which I need to appear to be coming in from in order to work, it worked for a bit, but the IPs are now blocked. 
	I'm not breaking any rules, I get why they would want to block VPNs because cloud labor sites have issues with nationals paying people in other countries to work as them, but I'm a born citizen with a right to work in the USA and not being able to use a VPN is seriously hurting me right now.  Choosing to come in without a VPN gives me a "This project is not available in your region." wall. I have already started work on the project in question, I'm legal, just remote!  Very frustrating. 
	 
	Is there anything I can do to get past this? It's going to hurt really bad if I can't work on any remote projects because of regional/VPN blocks.  
	 
	Thanks everyone!</description><pubDate>Sun, 05 Apr 2026 09:44:56 +0900</pubDate></item><item><title>worldcat.org not available</title><link><![CDATA[https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/79697-worldcatorg-not-available/?do=findComment&comment=261907]]></link><description>I assumed worldcat blocks all VPNs, but some users (seemingly not of AirVPN) report success reaching it with VPNs. I searched the forums and other pages found in the links at the top of the forum and didnt find it, so whatever the result/answer is, I think it's good to have it documented.  
 
Checked the tools in the thread to check if it's an ISP issue, it shouldn't be. The route check for https://www.worldcat.org/ shows success for pings but every single server fails to connect, either with Fail (no connect) or  Fail (HTTP 301) (https://airvpn.org/routes/?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.worldcat.org%2F). I assume this is due to the above url automatically redirecting to https://search.worldcat.org/ ? Then again, route check for that url errors out with Fail (HTTP 302) or (no connect) (https://airvpn.org/routes/?q=https%3A%2F%2Fsearch.worldcat.org%2F).

I created a port forwarding  on my  pc1 at port eg 3***** and running eddie on it, i can connect to it from pc2 via ssh over the internet. 
 
but the moment i  activate eddie and route my home pc traffic via eddie on home pc as eg 1******** 
and then try to reach my office vis ssh, i get the below error  
 
ssh: connect to host ubuntu.airdns.org port 34445: Network is unreachable 
 
then i have to delete the home port in my control panel at airvpn, and wait for hours for connection to reset on its own or chache to clear so that i can connect from home to office. 
Basically airdns works great with just one active port. 
 
if i want to run ssh on pc2 and connect to it from pc3 (while pc2 is sshing into pc1) it fails. 
 
Any help on this pl.</description><pubDate>Fri, 03 Apr 2026 17:46:20 +0900</pubDate></item><item><title>Very inconsistent network speeds Fedora Linux</title><link><![CDATA[https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/79684-very-inconsistent-network-speeds-fedora-linux/?do=findComment&comment=261886]]></link><description>Good Morning everyone,  
 
I have been experiencing extremely inconsistent network speeds since a few months.  
Sometimes disconnecting and reconnecting fixes it, but not always. I can't seem to find a correlation.  
 
I either connect through wg-quick or use nmcli. Both have the same issue.  
 
Any way I could go about solving this issue / providing further logs?</description><pubDate>Thu, 02 Apr 2026 05:14:23 +0900</pubDate></item><item><title>Problem with Segin (94.185.80.228:1637)</title><link><![CDATA[https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/79683-problem-with-segin-94185802281637/?do=findComment&comment=261883]]></link><description>I am experiencing a problem with the server Segin (94.185.80.228:1637).
 


	I connect using WireGuard with the following configuration:
 


	[Interface]
 


	Address = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/32
 


	PrivateKey = xxxx=
 


	MTU = 1320
 


	DNS = 10.128.0.1
 


	[Peer]
 


	PublicKey = xxxx=
 


	PresharedKey = xxxx=
 


	Endpoint = 94.185.80.228:1637
 


	AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0,::/0
 


	PersistentKeepalive = 15 
	 
 


	When I connect using endpoint port 1637, the tunnel is established successfully and initially the speed is very good, close to the maximum available from my ISP.
 


	However, after approximately 5 minutes, the connection stops working completely. At that point, traffic no longer passes through the tunnel, and even a speed test cannot complete.
 


	I also tried connecting to the same server using other endpoint ports, specifically 47107 and 51820.
 


	With those ports, the connection remains much slower than expected compared to the bandwidth provided by my ISP.
 


	So the behavior is the following:
 


	
		
			port 1637: very good speed at first, but since Saturday the connection starts dropping after a few minutes;
		 
	
	
		
			ports 47107 and 51820: the tunnel works, but the speed is very low compared to my normal line speed.
		 
	



	At the moment, port 1637 gives the best performance when it works, but since Saturday it has become unstable due to these repeated drops.
 


	Could you please check whether there is any issue on the server side with Segin, especially regarding port 1637, or advise what might be causing this behavior?
 


	If needed, I can provide additional diagnostics and logs.</description><pubDate>Wed, 01 Apr 2026 01:35:40 +0900</pubDate></item><item><title>eddie - there is no available or enabled network lock mode</title><link><![CDATA[https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/79680-eddie-there-is-no-available-or-enabled-network-lock-mode/?do=findComment&comment=261876]]></link><description>win 10, installed the latest version and am now getting this error. uninstalled and reinstalled same error.</description><pubDate>Tue, 31 Mar 2026 17:38:43 +0900</pubDate></item><item><title>internet archive (web.archive.org) returns 429</title><link><![CDATA[https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/79668-internet-archive-webarchiveorg-returns-429/?do=findComment&comment=261857]]></link><description>example: https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/swain#English

I'd like to suggest a feature that lets user to use a hostname that resolves to the best server from a user-defined list of servers. 
It will be similar to *.vpn.airdns.org but only resolves to one of the servers in the user-defined list. 
 
Eddie has a feature that works similarly by adding servers to allowlist. 
However, when Eddie can't be used, it is inconvenient. 
 
I hope you consider this suggestion. 
 
Thank you and have a nice day.

As of today, Eddie gets stuck on the authorisation step of the process for around 15 seconds before connecting. This is persistent when connecting through a Wiresock client as well. I have not updated anything or changed any settings from before this issue started happening. The only two things I can think of that may be the issue are my ISP or airVPN itself having an issue, though the latter seems unlikely. Any ideas of what can be done about it?  
Here's some information that may be helpful:  
OS = Windows 11 version 25H2  
Eddie version = 2.24.6  
Wiresock version = 2.4.11.1 
ISP = YouFibre 
I have port forwarded via the VPN and set the relevant ports on each program to match.

One thing they did OK at though was port forwarding. It was configured a little different (choose a server IP address &amp; choose a port... if available I got it) to how it's done here. Am I correct in the following understanding: 
 
1.  When I reserve ports, they are available to me from any VPN server's exit IP address that I connect my VPN client to? Not sure how you work that magic if it's correct but it makes life very easy. 
 
For example: if I connect to Kornephorus, and have port 10001 forwarded to me, then disconnect and reconnect to Capricornus, port 10001 at Capricornus' exit-IP now comes to me with no config changes required? 
 
2. Again with port 10001 forwarded and set to "all devices"... If I have two client devices (on the same LAN so same public IP address from here) connected to different VPN servers, Say Client A connected to Kornephorus and Client B to Capricornus:  Client A will receive traffic forwarded from Kornephorus's port 10001 and Client B will receive traffic forwarded from Capricornus' 10001? 
 
3. If I want to connect multiple clients to the same VPN server, with multiple forwarded ports, then I either leave the port forwarding on "all devices" and let my client devices choose what to listen to, or I could opt to pass only a particular port to a particular device by selecting that in the port forwarding for each forwarded port? (the first option would not be so good I guess if there's a lot of incoming traffic, since it would be flooded to all devices on the VPN whether they listen to that port or not). 
 
 
I'm asking to confirm the above because it seems too good to be true. I've done a bit of reading of past posts here though and it does seem to be correct.]]></description><pubDate>Sat, 28 Mar 2026 09:50:59 +0900</pubDate></item><item><title>UK - Youtube blocked</title><link><![CDATA[https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/79649-uk-youtube-blocked/?do=findComment&comment=261816]]></link><description>Youtube is asking for login now over all new UK servers..

	Previously, I had IPV6 completely disabled and blocked on my router in several places, and AirVPN allowed this as long as I disabled IPV6 in the generated OVPN file.  
	Sadly, it seems that this option no longer works, There doesn't appear to be anything in the config file that disables IPV6, or instructs the connection to use IPV4 only - which results in a lot of connections failing with: 
	 
 


net_addr_v6_add: fde6:7a:7d20:122e::1032/64 dev tun0
sitnl_send: rtnl: generic error (-13): Permission denied
Linux can't add IPv6 to interface tun0
 
The easy fix for me was to enable IPV6 everywhere on the router that had it disabled, however this should not be the solution.  
I would much prefer that the config generator did what I configured it to do... generate a valid file that uses IPv4 only.  
 
I probably won't check this post often, as my issue is fixed - I just wanted to log it here for anyone who ends up searching for an error like this.</description><pubDate>Thu, 19 Mar 2026 19:30:38 +0900</pubDate></item><item><title>OpenAI API (auth.openai.com)</title><link><![CDATA[https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/79606-openai-api-authopenaicom/?do=findComment&comment=261708]]></link><description>Hi, I'd like to log into the developer panel at OpenAI while using AirVPN, but I'm having no luck.

I put in my username and password and I get sent right back to the login page in an endless loop. 
 
Interestingly, if I close my browser and reopen it and go to the API login page, I get a message saying that my session is expired. That's funny... how can my session be expired if I was never logged in, hmm? 
 
I've tried 6 different servers in 3 different countries, in 3 browsers, and on 2 devices, and the issue persists. I know that OpenAI discourages VPN use, so there may not be anything that the staff at AirVPN can do, but I thought it might be worth mentioning here, just in case anyone knows of a workaround. If not, oh well, there's always DeepSeek. 
 
Cheers!
