Use AirVPN from Iran with SSL (PC & Android)

[usefulvid 19]

Since it is not very easy to use a VPN from countries like Iran a recorded a tutorial on how to use airvpn from these countries:

The videos are hosted on my website and on youtube. The reason is that it is not possible to access youtube from Iran.

It would be nice if you could share this with your friends in Iran, China, Turkey, Russia, UAE, Saudi Arabia and provide feedback if this method works.

You can also download this video from my website to make it easier to share and spread the word.

A video on how to use stunnel on android will follow and also published on this site.

 

Update on 6.1.2018:

 

The Video for Android is finally published:

I'm in Iran right now and most AirVPN servers connect flawlessly on Android just using the regular UDP 443 connection

Hello!

 

A simpler setup with the same anti-blocking effectiveness can be achieved with the following connection mode which does not require any additional SSL tunnel:

 

- entry-IP address 3

- protocol TCP

- port 443

 

In the Configuration Generator, please tick "Advanced Mode" to display all the available connection modes.

 

If you run Eddie on a desktop computer, connection modes are available in "Preferences" > "Protocols" and they are selectable after you untick "Automatic".

 

Kind regards

@Staff I realise that I'm bumping an old topic but it's interesting what you say about using TCP 443 instead of SSL 443. I appreciate the overhead of the additional encryption of the SSL tunnel on top of OpenVPN. But if an ISP shapes the traffic using DPI, don't you still leave yourself open to being detected as using a VPN with the TCP 443 option?

BTW, I don't live in Iran or anywhere that restrictive, I just like being as hidden as possible (within limits of course)...

Does this work in Iran currently? They have closed down most internet services because of the riots.

No, it doesn't work with IOS. Android is supported however.
You can also run stunnel on a windows or linux machine and use openvpn client on your ios device to connect through it. This will only work with wifi and not celluar internet.
I am running stunnel on my pfsense router and it is working fine.
