New 1 Gbits/s server available (LT)

[Staff 10014]

Hello!

We're very glad to inform you that a new 1 Gbit/s servers located in Lithuania is available:  Baten.

 

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, Baten 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

Any news on how Lithuania treats VPN users?

 

What is their stance on P2P for example or how do they act concerning the EU data laws?

 

How about Latvia and Sweden where I see Air now has a number of exit nodes?

 

I can't find much info online.

Hello,

 

since Latvia, Lithuania and Sweden are Member States of the European Union, their laws must comply to EU Directives and Regulations. The national governments must transpose approved by the Council and the Parliament Directives into national law within the usual term of 18 months, however a Directive is binding even if it has been wrongly implemented or not implemented at all.

 

See also doctrine of direct effect:

and Supremacy of European Union Law:

Of course, this says nothing about illegal or secret actions of a State body (usually while many other bodies of the very same State are not aware of such actions) but that's true for every and each country in the world.

 

Kind regards

Hi,

 

thanks for those links.

 

I would like to think that the aforementioned places do keep to the EU data regulations but unfortunately the law and it's application can be two different things in many places and I do not have the resources to test it to the Higher Courts.

 

Does anyone have any more in depth knowledge of how these countries treat the internet in general and more importantly the traffic that moves through their domains?
