Eddie 2.13.6 released

[Staff 9972]

Hello!

We're very glad to inform you that a new Eddie Air client version has been released: 2.13.6

 

Eddie 2.13 includes many important bug fixes and changes. You can see them all on the changelog. As usual, Eddie is released as free and open source software under GPLv3.

 

2.13.6 version is compatible with several Linux distributions. For very important notes about environments, please read here: https://airvpn.org/forum/35-client-software-platforms-environments

 

Windows 10 "Creator update" users will have a dramatic names resolution speed increase when querying the VPN DNS, because Eddie 2.13 circumvents the improper external DNS resolution method implemented by the "Creator" upgrade.

 

Please read the changelog: https://airvpn.org/services/changelog.php?software=client&format=html

Due to the large amount of bug fixes and changes upgrade is strongly recommended.

 

Just like previous versions, Eddie implements direct Tor support for OpenVPN over Tor connections. Eddie makes OpenVPN over Tor easily available to Linux, OS X and macOS users: no needs for Virtual Machines, middle boxes or other special configurations. Windows users will find a more friendly approach as well. This mode is specifically designed for Tor and therefore solves multiple issues, especially in Linux and OS X/macOS, including the "infinite routing loop" problem (see for example http://tor.stackexchange.com/questions/1232/me-tor-vpn-how/1235#1235 )

As far as we know, Eddie is the first and currently the only OpenVPN wrapper that natively allows OpenVPN over Tor connections for multiple Operating Systems. https://airvpn.org/tor

We recommend that you upgrade Eddie as soon as possible.

Eddie 2.13.6 for GNU Linux can be downloaded here: https://airvpn.org/linux
Eddie 2.13.6 for Windows can be downloaded here: https://airvpn.org/windows
Eddie 2.13.6 for OS X Mavericks, Yosemite, El Capitan and macOS Sierra and High Sierra can be downloaded here: https://airvpn.org/macosx

PLEASE NOTE: Eddie 2.13 package includes an OpenVPN version re-compiled by us from OpenVPN 2.4 source code with OpenSSL 1.0.2k for security reasons and to fix this bug: https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/ticket/328

Eddie overview is available here: https://airvpn.org/software
Eddie includes a Network Lock feature: https://airvpn.org/faq/software_lock
Eddie is free and open source software released under GPLv3. GitHub repository https://github.com/AirVPN/airvpn-client


Kind regards & datalove

I'm using ubuntu mate and am experiencing no problems. Eddie is working perfectly just like it did before. What specifically is happening? Do you have any log files you can show the developers on here? Did you put in a support ticket?

Are both DNS air vpn DNS? For awhile now it shows two DNS most of the time especially with network lock enabled. More information is needed to try and help you.

Is this the same version that was released 2 weeks ago on the beta thread?

Yes, no need to upgrade if you were already on it.

Running slick on this end. Running on Ubuntu, Debian, and using TOR features. All very smooth.

I also had a problem with Avast (antivirus part, not firewall). Managed to install eddie, and run it, but was getting stuck connecting until saw the popup from the antivirus to quarantine or add an exception for "AirVPN.exe", "openvpn.exe", "stunnel.exe".

 

Checking the logs it identifies them as "IDP.Generic".

Installed on Windows 10 Build latest preview release, working fine.

 

Norton has been stepping in with Sonar saying suspicious activity SONAR.AM.C.P!g12. Has started doing this with the last beta .5 suspect it's a false flag.

Hello.

 

Eddie is using an incredible amount of CPU power (50-60%) on my Laptop (Linux / Intel I7 core). Will this issue be dealt with eventually?

 

Thank You!

Open Eddie, click the top left dropdown menu. Then click "About". On the top right corner is the version number. Link to images.

Hello!

 

Staff, are you going to delete the links/references in Eddie to the Air speedtest in the next iteration? It's a dead link now.
