AirVPN Speed Test Doesn't Run

[ableounceony 6]

Down: 0.000 Mbit/s Out, NaN Mbit/s In (NaN%), 1MB - Up: 0.000 Mbit/s Out, NaN Mbit/s In (NaN%), 1MB - Date: Sun, 09 Apr 2017 23:27:20 GMT - Buffers: 1MB/1MB - Laps: 3, Time: 108.72 secs

 

Just tried to run your Speed Test at:

 

https://airvpn.org/speedtest/

 

Basically, it didn't even run (see the results at the top of this post).  Is there something wrong with the server I'm connected to?  Or, is it my OpenVPN configuration through my pfSense box?  Also, there's a box below the test result area saying "Share in our forum."  Yet, there's no "Submit" button or any way that I can find to send it off to the forum.

 

I'm running Chrome and even tried it in Incognito mode (i.e., no plugins).  Same issues.

 

EDIT1:  No problem running a speed test at dslreports.com:

 

 

EDIT2:  Put pfSense back in normal mode (no VPN) and fired up Eddie on my Windows box.  Got the AirVPN speed test to run, but the numbers sure don't line up with what the dslreports.com test comes up with the same way:

 

Down: 12.627 Mbit/s Out, 15.711 Mbit/s In (124%), 10MB - Up: 8.334 Mbit/s Out, 6.476 Mbit/s In (77%), 20MB - Date: Mon, 10 Apr 2017 14:23:21 GMT - Buffers: 10MB/20MB - Laps: 3, Time: 132.50 secs

I actually have the same issue aswell. 


So unsure if there is something we use in common or if there is an Actual issue with the Speed Test App.


Browser: Opera

Addons: Script Blocker & AdBlock Plus


Both of which are set to Fully Allow AirVPN's Website.

Thanks

I'm running Chrome and have AB+ running (though it shows no ads blocked on that page).  I've also tried running the test in Incognito mode (which loads no extensions/plugins).  Same result (or lack, thereof).  Since the test at least runs via Eddie, I'm assuming I have something misconfigured on my pfSense box.  I found another pfSense/OpenVPN/AirVPN setup guide and am walking through trying that setup.  Once (if) I get that done, I'll try again and see what happens.

Hi,

 

In order to work successfully, the device you're running the speed test from needs to have access to the VPN server you're connected to.

A well-configured router won't allow that to happen therefore you can only run the test on the device that's connected to the VPN server.

So, if it were possible for the router to run the test, it would work fine (the test runs from one end of the tunnel to the other)?  But, because the browsers on our computers are before the tunnel, the test won't run?  I think I understand.

I run the VPN client on my pfsense gateway/router.  It's true that my PC can't even ping the server I'm connected to.  But, the speed test still runs for me.

That's weird!

How can you get the out-of-tunnel speed then?

Hi,

 

just to share my results which could help us to understand initial post question/solution:

- I have DD-WRT router which is configured for AirVPN and I have two situations:

1. when KILL SWITCH is included in firewall then https://airvpn.org/speedtest/   doesn't work (results like "Down: 0.000 Mbit/s Out, NaN Mbit/s ....")

2. when KILL SWITCH is NOT included in firewall then https://airvpn.org/speedtest/   WORKS

 

In my case:

1.) "AirVPN BOX" is configured with "KILL SWITCH - no internet for clients behind BOX if AirVPN tunnel is down" then airvpnspeedtest doesn't work:

iptables ­I FORWARD ­i br0 ­o tun0 ­j ACCEPT

iptables ­I FORWARD ­i tun0 ­o br0 ­j ACCEPT

iptables -I FORWARD -i br0 -o vlan2 -j DROP

iptables ­I INPUT ­i tun0 ­j REJECT

iptables ­t nat ­A POSTROUTING ­o tun0 ­j MASQUERADE

 

2.) "AirVPN BOX" is configured without "KILL SWITCH - no internet for clients behind BOX if AirVPN tunnel is down" then airvpnspeedtest WORKS:

iptables ­I FORWARD ­i br0 ­o tun0 ­j ACCEPT

iptables ­I FORWARD ­i tun0 ­o br0 ­j ACCEPT

iptables ­I INPUT ­i tun0 ­j REJECT

iptables ­t nat ­A POSTROUTING ­o tun0 ­j MASQUERADE
