ghostp 5 Posted ... Today I switched to a new ISP. Everything seem to look great, I can connect to air, there are no dns leaks etc. BUT there are hundrets of weird entries in the logs like below: . 2015.04.22 16:07:51 - OpenVPN > Authenticate/Decrypt packet error: bad packet ID (may be a replay): [ #2843 ] -- see the man page entry for --no-replay and --replay-window for more info or silence this warning with --mute-replay-warnings. 2015.04.22 16:07:51 - OpenVPN > Authenticate/Decrypt packet error: bad packet ID (may be a replay): [ #2844 ] -- see the man page entry for --no-replay and --replay-window for more info or silence this warning with --mute-replay-warnings. 2015.04.22 16:07:51 - OpenVPN > Authenticate/Decrypt packet error: bad packet ID (may be a replay): [ #2845 ] -- see the man page entry for --no-replay and --replay-window for more info or silence this warning with --mute-replay-warnings... Any idea what's going on???AirVPN_20150422_161049.txt Quote Share this post Link to post

It could be just a momentary line problem, go on checking in the next hours or even days. As a generic suggestion, if your system is connected via WiFi, try to get the strongest signal. If it is connected via Ethernet, try to replace the cable.

The following post talks about the log lines you get and replay attacks:https://www_de.airvpn.org/topic/3773-pls-help-strange-logs/#entry3784 Kind regards Hello, I already have a very strong WiFi Connection (5GHz). I think It is not neccessary to change it because without VPN I get 100% of my bandwith. The problem seem occur if I'm connecting with Protocol in Automatic mode. I actually don't know which protocoll air is picking. The only way it seem to work at its best is connecting via SSL 443 protocol. If do so there is no packet lost at all. But anyway I don't know why I don't get full speed. 1) I've connected to several servers via the protocol "Automatic Mode". The result was very slow connection, lots of packet losts, etc. Automatic_mode.zip2) I've connected to several servers via the protocol "SSL 443". Best results, no packet lost, better download speedViriginis_SSL443.zipMenkib_SSL443.zipBotein_SSL443.zip3) I've connected to several servers via the protocol "SSH 22". Speed test on airvpn.org was not possible (I don't know why), pingtest bad and high jitter. Speedtest better but no packet lost.SSH22.zipAs you can also see the upload is always full speed. The download very bad.Do you have a better Idea now what's going on? Quote Share this post Link to post
Staff 9855 Posted ... Hello @ghostp ! 1) The Automatic mode in Eddie at the moment always picks protocol UDP, port 443 2) You can't get the mentioned logs entries when OpenVPN works in TCP because a first error correction is performed at TCP transport layer. See the already linked messages for more insights about that. Note that when over SSL or SSH, OpenVPN must work in TCP (stunnel and ssh do not and can not support UDP) 3) The fact that you don't experience packet loss without VPN is interesting. Two possible explanations: either you are not detecting correctly packet loss (how did you verify that?) or you are really subjected to replay attacks - in which case OpenVPN is doing its job correctly, in UDP. In the latter case, the fact that you get packet authentication failures with every and each VPN server in several different datacenters would seem to imply that the replay attack is performed in some point inside your ISP network (it's possible: injecting forged packets is not rocket science once someone is in your same network). It would be an attack specifically aimed against you. In this case, when you don't use VPN and you don't use end-to-end encryption and authentication, the attack would succeed, but it could be hard (if not impossible) for you to recognize forged injected packets.

ghostp 5 Posted ... (how did you verify that?) I did a test on pingtest.net and it shows me the packet losses. seem to imply that the replay attack is performed in some point inside your ISP network (it's possible: injecting forged packets is not rocket science once someone is in your same network). It would be an attack specifically aimed against you. In this case, when you don't use VPN and you don't use end-to-end encryption and authentication, the attack would succeed, but it could be hard (if not impossible) for you to recognize forged injected packets. That is scary me. Does it mean my ISP is attacking me?? I ran couple of tests again and I've noticed something strange. Here is what I've noticed: 1) I'm connecting to airvpn with the "Automatic mode" and everything ist normal. I've waited couple of minutes and the connection seem to be stable. BUT as soon I open any browser (Firefox, chrome, IE etc.) and start to browse somewhere, the log entries appear in the logfile. For example, I open youtube, everything is ok, than I start playing any video, the entries appear. Than I do nothing couple of minutes and everything is ok. Than I browse to another website and the entries appear again and again. Than I close the browser and no additional entries appear. Than after another 15 minutes I open the browser and go to perform a speedtest on speedtest.net, then additional entries come back again. In consequense the speedtest is very bad (70% speed down). Another weird thing is, that I also can't connect for instanse to skype. Hmm, weird! BUT as soon I connect with SSL 443, every problem above dissapear. I also contacted my ISP again and told them that I'm thinking that there might be some reply attacks from my ISP. The men than start to lough and asked me why they would do this? So, I don't think that they are attacking me. I'm very confused now! Do you think there is a logic explanation or any idea how to get rid of it? I tried to read about the reply attacks but honestly my technican knowhow is way to bad to understand what is really happening. Quote Share this post Link to post
Staff 9855 Posted ... Hello! A replay attack can come from someone inside the ISP network, not necessarily by the ISP personnel or network configuration. There's nothing to laugh about, if they do it again tell them that even giant ISPs like Comcast inject packets for marketing purposes or any other reason: https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20140908/07191228453/comcast-using-packet-injection-to-push-its-own-ads-via-wifi-apparently-oblivious-to-security-concerns.shtml The problem with many ISPs attacking their own customers with packet injection began at least EIGHT years ago:https://www.eff.org/wp/detecting-packet-injection so the person who laughed when you reported your case has provided a strong proof of his/her utter incompetence. Description you provide in point 1 is interesting. If it was packet injection attempt you would exactly experience that. What is your ISP (don't tell if you don't wish so)?

Kind regards I cumulated all information together and wrote to my ISP. I'm curious what answer will I get 1) Nevertheless could you tell me if these "replay attacks" are harmless or could they serious damage my Computer or could there someone get access to my personal information like bank account? 2) The links you've provided are very interesting on the one side but on the other the way to detect/proof replay attacks from ISP are VERY complicated :-(((( Is there any easier way to detect/monitor/proof these kind of attacks???? 3) How about Anti-Virus, Anti-Spy, Anti-Malware programs, are they able to detect something like this??? 4) In generally what can I do to get rid of these attacks?

Staff 9855 Posted ... Hello! 1) Packets injection by ISPs normally have the only purpose to force advertisements to you. More sinister purposes could be sought by different entities. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_injection 2) Unfortunately not. It is not trivial to prove packet injection. 3) We leave answers to this questions to software developers. 4) OpenVPN is extremely resistant to replay attacks and it can be used whenever end-to-end validation and encryption is not available. Otherwise, end-to-end encryption and validation normally makes replay attacks impossible to succeed. With OpenVPN, you can add (as already written both by you and us) an additional security layer, i.e. using OpenVPN with TCP as transport layer (see also the manual piece quoted here: https://airvpn.org/topic/3773-pls-help-strange-logs/?do=findComment&comment=3784 ).

He immediately knew what I was talking about and he assured that my ISP does not do things like that. He also assured that the don't block any ports, services ect. But he said I could try to "Increase the MTU to 1.000 in openvpn". The hell I don't know what he was talking about! Anyway I wanted to share it with you air-team and wanted to know what are you thinking about it? At least if you also think it is a good idea to increase the MTU, how can I do it????

MTU: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_transmission_unit Our OpenVPN servers have a default setting of 1500 so the technician meant to decrease it, not increase it. You can't change MTU size on the client size only (this size must match on both parties), so that's not an option. You can however operate with "mssfix" (for TCP wrapped in the tunnel) and/or "fragment" (for UDP) directives to handle MTU size problems. You can add custom directives in "AirVPN" -> "Preferences" -> "Advanced" -> "OVPN directives". For example: fragment 1400 Then click "Save" and restart a VPN connection. See below an extract from the OpenVPN manual. This thread can help:https://airvpn.org/topic/9773-receiving-packets-larger-than-1500-bytes/?do=findComment&comment=11446 Kind regards From OpenVPN manual: --fragment max Enable internal datagram fragmentation so that no UDP datagrams are sent which are larger than max bytes.The max parameter is interpreted in the same way as the --link-mtu parameter, i.e. the UDP packet size after encapsulation overhead has been added in, but not including the UDP header itself.The --fragment option only makes sense when you are using the UDP protocol ( --proto udp ).--fragment adds 4 bytes of overhead per datagram.See the --mssfix option below for an important related option to --fragment.It should also be noted that this option is not meant to replace UDP fragmentation at the IP stack level. It is only meant as a last resort when path MTU discovery is broken. Using this option is less efficient than fixing path MTU discovery for your IP link and using native IP fragmentation instead.Having said that, there are circumstances where using OpenVPN's internal fragmentation capability may be your only option, such as tunneling a UDP multicast stream which requires fragmentation. --mssfix max Announce to TCP sessions running over the tunnel that they should limit their send packet sizes such that after OpenVPN has encapsulated them, the resulting UDP packet size that OpenVPN sends to its peer will not exceed max bytes. The default value is 1450.The max parameter is interpreted in the same way as the --link-mtu parameter, i.e. the UDP packet size after encapsulation overhead has been added in, but not including the UDP header itself.The --mssfix option only makes sense when you are using the UDP protocol for OpenVPN peer-to-peer communication, i.e. --proto udp.--mssfix and --fragment can be ideally used together, where --mssfix will try to keep TCP from needing packet fragmentation in the first place, and if big packets come through anyhow (from protocols other than TCP), --fragment will internally fragment them.Both --fragment and --mssfix are designed to work around cases where Path MTU discovery is broken on the network path between OpenVPN peers.The usual symptom of such a breakdown is an OpenVPN connection which successfully starts, but then stalls during active usage.If --fragment and --mssfix are used together, --mssfix will take its default max parameter from the --fragment max option.Therefore, one could lower the maximum UDP packet size to 1300 (a good first try for solving MTU-related connection problems) with the following options:--tun-mtu 1500 --fragment 1300 --mssfix Quote Share this post Link to post

Staff 9855 Posted ... Hello, try to test again with routes check disabled: untick "Check if the tunnel effectively works" in client menu "AirVPN" -> "Preferences" -> "Advanced" and click "Save". Try a new connection and if it is established browse to airvpn.org. Verify whether the central bottom box is green or red. Do the above both with no custom directives and with the following directives:fragment 1400mssfix to see whether there's any difference. Kind regards Quote Share this post Link to post

Staff 9855 Posted ... Hello, sorry for the mistake, "fragment" needs to be implemented on server side too, therefore it is not a viable option. Operate only with mssfix (start for example with "mssfix 1400" then lower the value progressively at steps of 50 if necessary). Kind regards Quote Share this post Link to post
go558a83nk 359 Posted ... You could also try forcing the kernel (not openvpn) to adjust the packet size by disabling mssfix with "mssfix 0" in case the other options don't work. what operating system does the OP use? Quote Share this post Link to post
ghostp 5 Posted ... Hello, sorry for the mistake, "fragment" needs to be implemented on server side too, therefore it is not a viable option. Operate only with mssfix (start for example with "mssfix 1400" then lower the value progressively at steps of 50 if necessary). Kind regards You won't believe it but IT FINALLY WORKED :-D I just tried with "mssfix 1400" and it worked! I also tried anothother values (1500, 1450, etc.) but it works only with 1400. I'm so happy now! Finally I also compared the connection via SSL and there seem not to be any performance hit at all, neither over SSL nor Automatic mode. I run some speed test here and on speedtest.net, pingtest.net. So, if there is no noticable performance hit between UDP and SSL, is it better then to go with SSL connection? I've read this is something like an additional security layer, right? But anyway THANK YOU GUYS!!! :-) Quote Share this post Link to post

About OpenVPN over SSL, use it only if you wish (or need) to hide to your ISP the OpenVPN fingerprint, for example when detection of OpenVPN causes traffic shaping. Otherwise you don't need it, because it hits performance and does not add a significant security layer. If you need to strengthen effectively the anonymity layer for specific purposes, you should evaluate to use Tor after you have connected to the VPN (Tor over OpenVPN).
