Can I suggest a new metric on the servers list? 
Would it be possible to add a server CPU usage % please? 
 
I might be wrong but I believe in some cases that although there seems to be bandwitdh available, the CPU is hammered (probably IRQs) as the actual tunnel speed is very low. 
For example I am on a server with ~250mb to spare (according to the servers page) and I can barely do ~2.5MB/sec on either well seeded torrents or usenet.

After building this package version 2.26.2-1 (via yay) and rebooting, can no longer open the GUI. Clicking the icon (in KDE) does nothing. Running "eddie-ui" in the CLI produces this error message:

The first few times the GUI would open, now it is permanently minimized in the background and not connected to any server, as far as I'm aware. End task in task manager and restarting the application, uninstalling and re downloading the application, installing previous versions, installing 32 bit or 64 bit, nothing changes the default setting of the GUI not opening. Trying to open the application always sends a message saying the application is already running. 
	 
	Really sucks, i looked online and this was supposed to be a solid VPN so i bought a 3 month subscription. As far as I'm aware, a vpn that isn't connected to a server is basically a useless application. Is there any way to force the GUI to open using cmd line? 
	 
	EDIT: The portable seems to be working thankfully. Still not sure what the issue is with the installer</description><pubDate>Wed, 26 Aug 2026 19:43:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>YouTube videos working for anyone?</title><link><![CDATA[https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/81207-youtube-videos-working-for-anyone/?do=findComment&comment=264437]]></link><description>Hello.

Today I tried servers in Germany, Sweden, Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland. 
	 
	I get particularly slow download speeds when connecting to the servers in Sweden (tested 4 with various speed test sites). They are under 10 mb/s whereas the others are mostly in the range of 70 to 80. One server in Norway was above 80 and when testing again had an average of 36. Overall though, the Swedish servers are particularly slow for me. 
	That has been the case for at least several weeks. I recently have been using a VPN only occasionally.  
	I remember having some less than ideal speeds with servers in Switzerland for a while. Today they are OK. 
	 
	In the past, I used to connect the servers in Sweden a lot and was happy with the speeds.

I've installed AirVPN eddie-ui 2.24.6 x64 Linux Fedora on my AlmaLinux9 system. 
 
The only graphical display I have is my Cygwin X server on my Windows desktop, and there the eddie UI is very slow. It takes more than 30 seconds for it to react to any actions, like button clicks, etc. 
 
I would like to try the CLI, but I can't find any documentation for either the UI or CLI other than the FAQs. Does such documentation exist? 
 
I'm running eddie-ui as root, so I believe I should not have any permission issue. Watching the console output from the terminal where I launched the application, I see what look like reasonable logs, except for these: 
 
 
I 2026.08.22 10:54:33 - SSL - Not available

I was able to log in using the UI and when it asks me to connect to a recommended server, I click on that and after a long wait, I get the following pop-up message: 
 
  There is no available or enabled Network Lock mode, sorry. 
 
I see the following logs:

	I've upgraded multiple desktop clients to 2.26.2 today. When I select the "Don't ask elevation every run", the system reports "Can't create service in this OS", including when eddie-ui is run with sudo. 
	 
	This applies to all copies installed on Linux Mint Debian edition (version 7 with kernel 6.12.101) and Base Debian 13.6 (kernel 6.12.101) are now unable to create a systemd service to automatically run eddie (which is problematic for those people that have and need eddie as a start up program, and the use of network lock is not available). 
	 
	When the relevant admin password is provided eddie continues to function as expected including logging into the relevant servers. 
	 
	Are there any known workarounds for this change (other than manually creating the systemd service, which makes the internal option somewhat redundant)?</description><pubDate>Sat, 22 Aug 2026 10:11:31 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>OpenVPN, but no Wireguard</title><link><![CDATA[https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/81132-openvpn-but-no-wireguard/?do=findComment&comment=264306]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never mind.  Just after posting I checked the white list in my firewall.  Turned out "Eddie-CLI-Elevated-Service.exe" was not there.  Strange, as it only needs to be on the whitelist when using WireGuard.  OpenVPN worked without that entry. 
	 
	 
	--- original message --- 
	 
	 
	In short: 
	Eddie 2.21.8. works (openvpn). 2.24.6 and beta 2.26.2 don't (wireguard). 
	 
	The issue: 
	2 Almost identical Windows 10 systems connected to the same router, static IP.  Both ran Eddie 2.21.8 for a long while without issues.  Updated 1st system to 2.26.2 which works flawlessly using Wireguard.  The 2nd system however won't connect with the exact same settings. (even tried copying the profile from the working sys.)  Same with 2.24.6. 
	 
	Where to start looking to troubleshoot? 
	I do get a server list but getting a WireGuard Handshake timeout when connecting.

In the history graph you can see the server's traffic has dipped sharply and then quickly recovered several times recently, and is cratering again as I write this. It's especially annoying because my Plex server (which I'm exposing via an AirVPN port, long story) becomes basically unusable during these throttle events. 
 
Side note, the dip is by more than just my contribution, lol. The dip is ~2Gbps whereas my usage rarely exceeds 200Mbps. 
 
I can switch to another server that isn't doing this cratering, but I'm curious to know what's causing these throttles that doesn't result in a "Status Log" issue.
