New 1 Gbit/s server available: Antares (SG)

[Staff 9973]

Hello!

We're very glad to inform you that a new 1 Gbit/s server located in Singapore is available: Antares.

The AirVPN client will show automatically the new server, while if you use the OpenVPN client you can generate all the files to access them through our configuration/certificates/key generator (menu "Client Area"->"Config generator").

The server accepts connections on ports 53, 80, 443, 2018 UDP and TCP.

Just like every other Air server, Antares supports OpenVPN over SSL and OpenVPN over SSH.

As usual no traffic limits, no logs, no discrimination on protocols and hardened security against various attacks with separate entry and exit-IP addresses.

 

Do not hesitate to contact us for any information or issue.

Kind regards and datalove
AirVPN Team

[stupidcats 14]

And AirVPN does it again.. Thank you.

 

You've someone on your team that loves space, don't you? The name of the servers and the "by planets" in the config generator

at this time my route from Thailand to this server goes to los angeles then back to singapore.  I've seen crap like this before from my ISP so I'll give it time for everything to get squared away.

Joy! I am a picture of feline happiness. Thanks, AirVPN. You guys really rock.

AirVPN rocks! Probably the best VPN provider anyone can ever find. Salute to AirVPN team.

Great work 

[go558a83nk 362]

Just want to make AirVPN staff aware of a problem, but I believe it is out of their control.  However, this may affect many users.

 

I'm connected to Antares via a differnet ISP from the one I use at home.  The routing is just fine.  Above you can see the poor routing from my home to Antares. 

 

Below is a trace back to a router my traffic from home often traverses, so I use it as a test of routing to my home.  Seabone seems to be having trouble.

Hi,

 

Congratulations on the new server. Was hoping for a 1Gbps server to come up in Singapore.

 

Quick question, for the earlier singapore servers, the client would show a latency of around 60ms. The Hadar server would have a latency of around 90-100ms and the Netherland servers would be at around 150-180ms. This makes sense for my location as its closer to singapore than its to hong kong. Though currently, the Singapore server is being reported with latency of close to 250ms. The other servers are showing latency as before. If I use a different ISP then the latency is around 120ms. Either way its much higher than earlier.

 

Is there any commands I can run to help diagnose this?

[go558a83nk 362]

strideram, it sounds like you're experiencing the same problems I am.  Unfortunately, this is something that we have to talk to our ISP about.

Happening here in Japan too.  Leaseweb's Asia datacenter is pretty new.  This could be an issue with linkage.

[go558a83nk 362]

I contacted Leaseweb directly about the problems I'm having, just asking them if there's anything they could do about it.

 

They very quickly replied asking for a bidirectional MTR, which I gave them.  They apologized but said that my ISP needs to look at the matter.  I knew that was the case but figured I'd try. :-)  (It's difficult dealing with Thai ISPs)

when i'm connected to SG i can no longer use the internet, no site loads, no ping, nothing. rarely it works for a while until i have to re-connect to get it working again.

using ubuntu 14.04 with the network manager and a config generated today. HK and NL work and are stable. i'm in korea on a 10/10mbit connection.

 

strangely on my android device on the same wifi the connection to SG is a lot more stable, i do get disconnects there too though.

i have FTTH and my dedicated connection as well as a dedicated wifi router for my two devices only.

@go558a83nk, I am not very knowledgeable about computer networking. I ran the traceroute command you ran and for both my home ISP connections, it looks like the route first goes to Europe, comes back to India and then proceeds to Singapore. For you, its going to the US and then to Singapore. You mentioned that the local ISP needs to be contacted to resolve this. Could you please explain what should I be telling them? Also, is it normal for such a thing to happen? I mean between you and me thats 3 ISPs that are routing it incorrectly. There seem to be a lot more. Are the users of all these ISP supposed to contact them individually? How does this work? Any idea why your work ISP is routing properly but my home ISPs arent?

I'm not a network expert either when it comes to how all the ISP and major worldwide networks work together.  I have seen an instance in the past where I contacted my ISP to let them know of a similar problem and it was fixed.  Whether or not it was fixed because of my email I'll never know.  It could be that I just caught them at a bad time.

 

Networks have to work together for internet traffic to flow.  Sometimes that means money has to be exchanged.  Sometimes that means that our ISP may not have rights to pass data onto another network.  The ISP at work obviously has peerage or IP transit rights that take me direct to Antares.

 

For my home ISP, it may also be a method of censorship.  I've come to this conclusion because there are two other instances of this problem I've had with my ISP and they were both with other VPN providers.  This makes the third.

 

If you contact your ISP, send them the text of your traceroute.

love you guys...renewing by half a year tonight..can i donate to you guys??? best vpn second to non...

[go558a83nk 362]

Just want to get an update from those who were having high latency to the new Sg servers.  My problems still exist.  I've sent several emails to my ISP with MTR results.  No reply and no fix as of yet.  The current political and governmental state in Thailand may account for their inactivity.

i can't connect to SG

@Staff

Do you have plans to make more servers in Singapore available ?

[dappas 0]

I agree more Singapore servers are needed.
