Splitting AirVPN in household?

[RyzaJr 0]

New user here. Tried it out for 3 days and I liked it.

 

Just wondering if it's possible to split this VPN service with 2 other roommates so we can all be protected? I guess we'd just all sign in to the same account? Would we have access to each other's files since we are on the same VPN? Any other concerns?

 

Thanks.

Hello!

 

You can share an account, but then each person will only have 1 device available. Nothing is shared - although if they sign in on the website, they can disconnect each other and see which server each person is connected to. If you have a powerful router, you could set up AirVPN on it and thus all devices connected to the router would be protected. But this is much more involved.

You should not share your password with them. Share the config file(s) instead. You maintain control of your account this way.

 

Would we have access to each other's files since we are on the same VPN?

 

Connected devices usually don't see each other on this network. Otherwise it'd be questionable from a security point of view.

Where are these config files? I looked and didn't see them.

I referred to the files generated by the config generator. If you want them to use Eddie it's the password you need to share, I fear.
