https://airvpn.org/feed/forums/Forumsenhello all, i got the following problem. i use air vpn with eddie on a pc i use as server in my network. the server (pc) is started and stopped remotely by a raspberry pi. the pi checks is there are any pc online who needs the server. If he finds one or more he starts the server, if there are none he stops the server. the pi does so by pressing the server on/off button for 0.2 sec this starts the server, and shut down the server only when the server hangs the pi uses a forced shutdown by pressing the key for 5 sec this works fine, but there is a problem eddie loses his settings. for example the "dont ask elevation every run" setting or the "exit conformation prompt" this causes the server to wait for me to go there and click on the "yes" button, making the whole remote thing useless after eddie loses the setting, only reinstalling helps, sometimes i need to uninstall completely and reinstalling who has a solution for this?Sat, 06 Jun 2026 17:31:24 +0000Hi, I have noticed for quite a few weeks now the Estonia server is under very high load for a lot of the time. It would be great if the bandwidth could be improved or if an extra server could be added. Thanks.Sat, 06 Jun 2026 10:14:52 +0000Right now the only way a script can judge whether or not a server is having issues is to check the text within the "health" key. This is great for understanding if a server is currently dealing with an issue at the exact moment of the check, but it doesn't help for servers that are having repeated instances of packet loss. This results in any "rank AirVPN servers" script that sorts based on bandwidth and health to always choose the latest server to recover from a high packet loss incident since it'll be using the least amount of its possible bandwidth. It doesn't seem like a nice idea to recommend users to dogpile onto a server that's already recovering from a network issue so I'd like to request more historical status information to be added to the server API schema. Compare the data in the API (https://airvpn.org/api/status/) to what's available in the Status Log table at the bottom of every server page. https://airvpn.org/servers/Revati/ That log gives a better picture of the server health over a longer period of time than just "ok" or "warning". So I'm proposing something like this: { "deprecated_warning": "'ip_entry' and 'ip_entry_alt' are deprecated. Use 'ip_v4_in1' and 'ip_v4_in2' instead.", "servers": [ { "public_name": "Achernar", "country_name": "Switzerland", ... "health": "warning", "warning": "Low packet loss", // The number of packet loss events for the server over a set time period "recent_health_events": 7, "status_log": [ { // Use date string or Unix timestamp "date": YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:SSZ, // Duration of packet loss event in seconds "duration": 61, // Amount of packet loss, 100 = 100% loss. Max loss is most useful value IMO "packet_loss": 31 }, { "date": 2026-06-04T02:35:11Z, "duration": 320, "packet_loss": 57 } ... ] }, ... ] ) A sliding window slice of events that have happened within 12 or 24 hours for each server would give a quick picture of the ongoing health of a server and allow tools (like the little bash script for gluetun I'm writing) to make better choices and spread out the load. Even just the "recent_health_events" value with a simple total of the packet loss events over a period of time would be a huge improvement. This is just a first draft proposal, any naming or implementation specifics would be in the hands of AirVPN developers. So don't get too caught up on naming or structure; this is more about voicing the lack of API information for making better server choices.

When I visit the .onion version of the site, I can't follow links to other sites: If I change the site in the address bar to the airvpn.org, I can navigate: Is it possible to fix the behavior of the .onion version?Thu, 04 Jun 2026 04:54:56 +0000Hi, The new 10Gbit/s EU servers are great, Netrouting seem to be a decent ISP and I am easily able to achieve a sustained 1Gbps+ download speed using various protocols. However, the story isn't the same for the upload speed. It varies, but the best I am able to achieve seems to be around 300Mbit/s, sometimes dropping below to around 200Mbit/s. Generally it's the same regardless of location: RO, NL, SE - all Netrouting servers are performant when downloading data, but falter on upload speeds. Interestingly the performance was markedly better back when the servers were first introduced, I was easily able to achieve around 500Mbit/s back then, but slowly as more users have been switching to these new servers their performance has been gradually degrading (only on upload speeds). I have reproduced this behavior from multiple source ASNs, so unless some country level/T1 provider rate limiting is to blame, I don't think that the problem is on my end. I am also able to max-out a normal 1Gbps server (~800Mbit/s) symmetrically if I am the only high-bandwidth user connected. So, since I don't think the issue is my own I'm starting this thread to discuss it a little bit. Has anybody else experienced this upload speed slowdown or 'throttling' behavior, and can anybody else reproduce it as reliably as I can? For me, it's very consistent. Now obviously I'm not demanding answers, and I do appreciate that my high-bandwidth habits are uncommon, but I'd love to get some more info as to why this is happening, for instance, why is the throttling asymmetrical? For what it's worth (and before people ask), I have tried the other EU 10Gbit/s servers, but I'd prefer not to use them because: they aren't as performant as the Netrouting ones they are located in a particularly untrustworthy jurisdiction; or, they are hosted by a company that is headquartered in a particularly untrustworthy jurisdiction they suffer from being listed on more IP blacklists.

The site itself loads fine and the Rout Checking tool shows this is true from most servers, but when I try to login to my account, I get a message "Your device is connected to the Internet using a VPN or proxy service. Please disable it and try again." at least when on Dziban and maybe some others. I guess this is some attempt to enforce geoblocking, though I would have hoped that since the site uses a paid subscription, they could infer the viewer's location from their billing address and not worry if the user is coming through a VPN. Oh well...Fri, 29 May 2026 07:28:35 +0000Hi, I've been a loyal member forever.... have reached my 5 device max with all tricks **** but unless I am blind I cannot find a way to add more devices {paid} to my sub without adding a new account.Wed, 27 May 2026 21:30:26 +0000https://mullvad.net/en/blog/exit-ip-fingerprinting-between-vpn-servers " When a user switches from one VPN server to another, this sometimes makes it possible for services such as websites to confidently guess that the same user that connected from the new VPN server is the one that connected from the previous VPN server." Does AirVPN present the same vulnerability?Wed, 27 May 2026 13:01:48 +0000We always discuss how slick using TOR on top of AirVpn creates a spread of exposure between two or more separate providers making a "trace" orders of magnitude tougher than Air alone. There are times when I must vacate TOR due to speed when downloading very large files OR uploading very large files. In an effort to maintain the obvious benefit of using two different providers on my over all connection I am wondering if I have the following correct: I have been using Mullvad Browser with dns = DOH + Encrypted Client Hello processed by Mullvad's DNS in the browser configuration. When I examine the connection via various websites designated for the purpose of course Air's IP is what Mullvad sees. The ECH flags as working well and stable (I realize the sites I connect to must use TLS 1.3 and have other configs for ECH setup, but that is a given in this question). So in this scenario I assume that Air (I do trust but then using two services just adds the confidence out of SOP for security) would not be able to penetrate the DOH and the ECH would eliminate the sni from wireshark or similar observation? Is that configuration doing what I need to do, at least am I explaining it properly? I have always trusted Air staff/moderators to serve it to us straight up. Is my procedure effective for what I describe or is there a better solution keeping in mind KISS is how I prefer to roll, LOL ps - I live on TOR most of the time so this is for when I need the multi gig loads in either direction. ThanksTue, 26 May 2026 17:25:58 +0000Hello there, First of all, thanks for the amazing service you are providing, I love it ! GrapheneOS is a free and open source mobile os that focus it's work on privacy and security. I use it for a year now and it really helped me take back my privacy on android which is usually locked by Google. It's a known project in the privacy world and they are contributing upstream also like with their hardened malloc. For technical reasons they are only running on Google Pixel (paradoxal but their justification seems solid) but they plan to extend to other devices soon... They may be searching for servers to host their updates infrastructures of thing like that, maybe it could be nice to help them ? Thanks again for your workTue, 26 May 2026 11:21:24 +0000Hello, I have a question regarding AirVPN’s transparency around legal requests. ProtonVPN publishes a transparency report where it is possible to see that they have received a number of legal orders/requests over the years, sometimes over a hundred in a single year. Since AirVPN is also a well-known and fairly widely used VPN service, I was wondering why there do not seem to be similar figures or an equivalent transparency report available for AirVPN. Is it because AirVPN has genuinely received no legal requests that could be disclosed or acted upon? Or is it simply that such requests are not published in the form of a transparency report? This is not meant as criticism, but as a request for clarification about how AirVPN communicates or does not communicate this kind of informationMon, 25 May 2026 21:53:49 +0000ive added ports on airvpn and added them to windows defender firewall. what am i doing wrong telegram; @EscrowadmlnMon, 25 May 2026 04:19:54 +0000When I'm using Eddie and connected to SG servers, the upload speed always gets throttled and it is very slow. It only happens when it is an inbound connection, as I don't see any problem when I'm checking using speedtest.net (as it is an outbound connection). So I've been using "copyparty", a tool to easily create a "file server" and then host it. I use it to measure the upload speed I get when connected to AirVPN and port forwarded to my :80 port. I use another laptop to download something from my my machine that's connected to AirVPN Singapore server, and each file download it is always throttled to around 100-300KBps. So it's not the "overall speed become 100-300KBps", but rather, it is throttled "for each connection". So basically I can download 5-10 files simultaneously but with only 3 Mbps speed for each file. My internet has 50 Mbps upload link speed, so I know it wasn't it. This only happens with Singapore servers, as I've tried the same with Japan server and it's fine, I can see the speed doesn't get throttled, and it gets the full 50 Mbps upload speed. What happen with Singapore server? Why does the upload seems to get throttled when it is an inbound connection, and I've observed that it's being throttled for each connection?Sun, 24 May 2026 16:28:12 +0000Hey there guys. So i tried looking around but couldn't find much info in here. My question is if I want to watch specfic content from other regions on a streaming service on my Xbox, how do I got on about doing it?Wed, 20 May 2026 09:03:51 +0000Hello. Please add new 10G Montreal server(s); the current ones are all 1G and are always fully utilized. It is hard to get good speeds from East Canada. Toronto and NY are good but not perfect. Thank you so much.Tue, 19 May 2026 18:48:57 +0000Mon, 18 May 2026 03:00:27 +0000Hey! I just switched to airvpn today and I'm having trouble connecting one of the machines on my network to the VPN. On Debian, it works just fine, but on Windows 10, it just keeps getting stuck on "Connecting" and then gives up. Does anyone know what could be causing this? This appears to happen with any server.Sat, 16 May 2026 12:04:45 +0000Fri, 15 May 2026 22:01:32 +0000Hello, unfortunately the Caelum Server (Austria) went down today, so I have to use either Alderamin or Beemim. But with those two I have the frequent problem that websites are unreachable because of timeouts. This problem though only exists within AirVPN usage, the website itself is fine and reachable via my WAN route or other VPNs. I use AirVPN via WireGuard through my OpenWRT router. Just to be clear: the tunnel itself is fine, this also happened with multiple devices (this is the third OpenWRT router I use for this). This happens randomly, other websites are normally reachable and keep doing so, but a specific website not. The problem persists with this website for some time (usually a couple of days) , after this time passes it's somehow working. No changes made. I tried to comprehend the issue, but it's extremely difficult to troubleshoot. It seems like it's a combination of a DNS and route problem within AirVPN, but this is just a guess of mine. Very strict firewall rules on the OpenWRT router (no LAN to WAN forwarding, default route via VPN, strict no-leak setup) seem to make things worse, but I could not isolate this. Nowadays I use a less strict policy-routing setup. But this issue is very annoying. Together with more and more sites/services which block VPNs altogether, this problem makes AirVPN barely usable for me. I need a working server in Austria, and Alderamin/Beemim are not working so well for me. I tried searching for this problem, but did not find anything useful. Anything helpful would be appreciated. Edit: checking AirVPNs route tool, seems this time the site is not reachable from any server. So probably blocked. Maybe I jumped the gun too fast here, since the pattern was exactly the same as before. So take my description above with a grain of salt. Current example sites: jump25.at and kinder-guide.atFri, 15 May 2026 18:30:04 +0000Hello, It appears that someone may be spamming or attempting to hack into X.com or instagram through AirVPN, since my accounts were recently suspended or labeled for supposedly malicious behavior. Today, one minute, I'm just reading x.com, the next minute I'm getting labeled, likely due to someone else misusing the VPN server. Can those people stop that, or can the Admins figure out who is doing this and resolve this issue? I like using this VPN, but it's unfortunate that others are causing this response from websites. Thanks.Wed, 13 May 2026 17:31:50 +0000I've opened ports here on AirVPN, the same ports are opened in my firewall on my server. Still I can't get HighID on aMule. The port tester shows the first, TCP, port as open while getting stuck on the two UDP-ports. And I have ports opened for Transmission and SLSKD which which shows as open. So I would assume it is a problem with UDP-ports here on AirVPN. Or am I completely wrong?Wed, 13 May 2026 16:31:12 +0000When I generate a wireguard configuration and then import the file with networkmanager, I encountered this error To fix this I had to rename the generated configurations files to a shorter name and without special characters. The error message isn't very clear, but something about those file names is invalid for wireguard imports. Once renamed, you can import the config I just saw that you have the solution here: https://airvpn.org/linux/wireguard/terminal/Wed, 13 May 2026 15:11:13 +0000Hello, I'm curious what causes the brief 1-2 periods of packet loss in the 4 Los Angeles servers. It seems like half of the "issues history" page is just these 4 servers. I have my config set to Los Angeles and Fremont, and it almost always inevitably ends up stable on the Fremont server due to the LA health check problems.Tue, 12 May 2026 03:36:58 +0000Fri, 08 May 2026 09:06:59 +0000
