https://airvpn.org/feed/forums/ForumsenHello all, A few years ago I had forwarded some ports through AirVPN's site. It worked just fine and so I left it alone all of this time later. For some reason now, it doesn't seem to be actually forwarding them. I'm using OpenBSD and am connected to AirVPN's servers through openvpn. Port checks fail, connections time out, but the servers I'm running locally have indeed occupied those ports (I can access via its local IP). The firewall (pf) has those ports allowed over tun0. Is there something I'm missing or doing wrong, or is there a tiny chance Helvetios (server in question) has some issues? FWIW I tried reconnecting to AirVPN multiple times in the hopes of reaching a different server, but every single time it connected to Helvetios. Thank you in advance if you can help shed some light on this.Sat, 27 Jun 2026 18:18:18 +0000Not to be cringe, but the US pricing for bundles on Raid are a lot cheaper than UK, because they are priced exactly the same, but the convertion makes it a lot cheaper for UK users to transfer their account to the US and buy them. Example attached. The issue is, Plarium is detecting my VPN. Any suggestions on a potential fix? My first time trying to use my VPN like this, so I am surprised it's an issue, but I suppose if the IP addresses are registered to AirVPN, or there is a known list of their IPs that is being tracked it may be causing the issueWed, 24 Jun 2026 17:10:34 +0000Hi... Can we have the Config genertor linked on this page?Mon, 22 Jun 2026 02:04:51 +0000Sat, 20 Jun 2026 20:12:33 +0000Hi, I came across AirVPN and I wanted to ask whether it is possible in their Windows app (Eddie) (Split tunneling ) to exclude an IPv4 address so that this IP is not routed through the VPN. I would really appreciate a response and I hope I’m in the right thread.Fri, 19 Jun 2026 14:14:33 +0000Hello, i try to connect via Kodachi Linux Security Dashboard (Debian Linux). I have generated config files for OpenVPN and WireGuard and none works. On WG i get the error: Error: Failed to connect to wireguard: WireGuard interface wg0 exists but has no IP address On OpenVPN the internet gets disconnected. Tor is disconnected, DNSCrypt is disconnected as well. On the Eddie app i can connect but it loses connection as soon as i connect to TOR. Any idea how to connect? Or any idea how to configure TOR on Eddie app? ThanksThu, 18 Jun 2026 22:56:33 +0000With what is going on in the UK would Airvpn ever bend the knee and submit to demands for user verification?

I had to use a VPN extension in Google Chrome to load the AIRVPN Website then I could sign up again.Mon, 15 Jun 2026 18:36:07 +0000Hi all, Have been a happy user of Airvpn for many years. Last night my MacBook Pro M1 got full disk error crash while connected to VPN with latest available Eddie for my machine. After fixing the full disk issue, and rebooting I realized that computer doesn't connect to internet. I realized maybe because Eddie crashed with some error message about not being able to save in ~/.config/ I started Eddie to disable network lock, but it behaved little bit weird and the process was very quick. I didn't think anything of it, and closed Eddie. But no luck connecting to internet. Cutting the story shirt, after a little bit of digging, I uninstalled Eddie , deleted all files that has to to with Eddie, rebooting, won't connect to internet. Installing Eddie after that, enabling network lock, disabling it, would not work, but when I connect to Airvpn servers, I get internet. Upon disconnecting from VPN servers, no internet. My question is, how can I reset my network or disable the network lock outside of Eddie? Would appreciate your guidance. Thank you in advance.Mon, 08 Jun 2026 20:50:49 +0000Hi, I have an old MacBook Air 1.1 that I plan to use for accessing a single specific website via a VPN (I know it's extremely old, but it’s good enough for this job).

Could you work on Upgrading Canes or Alamak to 10Gbps or at least 2Gbps? I don't know much about its pricing but I would really love it. And for some reason I didn't get the best speeds on AltusHost either, I don't know how these things work. Thank you for the very good service and I totally understand if it's not possible, but maybe in a few months, you could calculate whether this possible upgrade would accommodate new users.Sun, 07 Jun 2026 18:27:13 +0000both tab mini and poco f8 ultra fail to connect although no problems logging inSun, 07 Jun 2026 14:47:06 +0000hello 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.
