Staff 9973 Posted ... Hello!We're very glad to inform that full IPv6 support is being deployed to our VPN servers. The experimental phase ended during the first half of June and we can now reliably deploy IPv6 to any other VPN server, provided that it is in a datacenter with IPv6 infrastructure of course. This thread will be periodically updated to provide the list of VPN servers new generation setup (internally, we call this new setup "Gen 2"). FINAL UPDATE: as of September the 14th 2018, all AirVPN servers have been upgraded to 2nd generation software. New smart features:Standard protocols/ports with IPv6 support (*), updated OpenVPN server, better cipher negotiation. You can keep using AirVPN as usual, even if you have an old OpenVPN version, on entry-IP addresses 1 and 2 of each server.Additional protocols/ports with IPv6 support (*), updated OpenVPN server, better cipher negotiation, 'tls-crypt' support (*), TLS 1.2 (*) forced on entry-IP addresses 3 and 4 of Gen 2 servers. The additional protocols/ports mentioned in this paragraph require OpenVPN 2.4 or higher versions(*) OpenVPN 2.4 or higher version is required. tls-crypt plays a role even against ISPs that throttle or block OpenVPN. Something more about tls-crypt can be found here: https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/Openvpn24ManPageSearch for "--tls-crypt keyfile" Planning the future: internal load balancing between multiple OpenVPN daemons. This is a feature which will let OpenVPN squeeze the maximum bandwidth on each server, because OpenVPN runs in a single thread of a single core. By balancing the load on multiple OpenVPN daemons with a reliable algorithm, we overcome significantly this OpenVPN limitation. Such bandwidth would be mostly wasted without our load balancing method simply because there are no CPUs capable to process 10 Gbit/s AES-256 encryption/decryption on multiple flows to/from multiple channels (according to our empirical tests on the field, the load does not grow linearly with the growth of connected OpenVPN clients) with just one one core. Our solution is important because it's a founding prerequisite toward servers connected to 10 Gbit/s lines, even if OpenVPN multicore / multi-threading support should not become available in the near future, not to mention that it can be useful even in different environments. The internal load balancing is already active on all "Gen 2" servers.

Staff 9973 Posted ... So, which servers are connected to 10Gbit/s lines? Hello! None of our 10 Gbit/s lines are connected to a single server. We have 10 Gbit/s lines which are used to connect 10 servers. The fact that load balancing is being deployed is the founding step which prepares the chance to break the 980/990 Mbit/s (of AES encryption-decryption in a system with dozens of OpenVPN clients) limit on AES-NI supporting CPUs.

puff-m-d 31 Posted ... Hello Staff,I have a quick question about the following and how it may equate to Eddie:In the Configuration Generator please tick "Advanced Mode", select OpenVPN version ">= 2.4" and select "IPv4 & IPv6 (connect with IPv6)".Under "Eddie > Preferences > Networking > IP Protocol used for connection", "IPv4, IPv6" is selected by default. There is also another setting of "IPv6, IPv4" listed. I assume that the difference in these settings is which ever protocol is listed first will be how Eddie connects. If this assumption is correct and you are recommending to connect via IPv6, should I change from the default of "IPv4, IPv6" to "IPv6, IPv4" and "IPv6, IPv4" also be made the default in Eddie? What are the pros and/or cons and differences of connecting either by IPv4 or IPv6? Quote Share this post Link to post

Psamathe 2 Posted ... Will we need to create new .ovpn config files to use IP6? (e.g. not through your own client but using e.g. Viscosity or Tunnelblick) or do the existing client side config files automatically switch to IP6 (given an IP6 internet connection/router/ISP - client to VPN Server).

Staff 9973 Posted ... Hello!This error:. 2018.06.18 13:39:37 - Unable to compute route for 2001:ac8:27:f:c0ca:9f36:68ed:1e70: IPv6 VPN gateway not available. is apparently hinting to a problem on the server side. However, first of all could you please check OpenVPN latest release? Additionally, a system report from Eddie might provide us with additional and potentially precious clues (to send a system report: "Logs" > click life belt icon > Copy all > paste into your message). Have you already tested different Generation 2 VPN servers? If so, does the problem stay? Last but not least, can you please verify the IPv6 status for your tun/tap interface, and make sure that IPv6 is not disabled? Kind regards 1 altae reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post

altae 22 Posted ... For those who use Ubuntu (or derivatives) and who plan to jump on the IPv6 wagon: Be aware that some third party repos don't support IPv6 yet. You may need to force IPv4 connectivity to be able to update your system while connected to AirVPN servers. You can do so by adding the following command when invoking apt: -o Acquire::ForceIPv4=true Another solution is to add a config file that stores this rule permanently, just copy the following command to your terminal emulator and execute it: echo 'Acquire::ForceIPv4 "true";' | sudo tee /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99force-ipv4 I know it's not really eddie or AirVPN related but it's one of the first issues I encountered after making use of the new IPv6 capabilities of eddie. Before IPv6 was disabled on os level for privacy reasons. And I bet I'm not the only one who might encounter this issue after IPv6 has been implemented into the stable release of eddie.

The test from https://test-ipv6.com/ is showing me a 10/10 but says "Your browser has real working IPv6 address - but is avoiding using it. We're concerned about this." Both my browsers (FF and Chromium) don't use IPv6 actively. Is this a problem because of the DNS using IPv4 or because the IPv6 of the tun device gets a Unique local address? 3. When importing your ovpn files in NetworkManager, the IPv6 functionality is absent. Even if I activate the IPv6 tun-connection manually. It is working fine with the openvpn cli tool. Hope you can shed some light on these questions. Arch Linux up to date EDIT: A test on Subra revealed some problems:Danger! IPv6 sorta works - however, large packets appear to fail, giving the appearance of a broken website. If a publisher publishes to IPv6, you will believe their web site to be broken. Ask your ISP about MTU issues; possibly with your tunnel. Check your firewall to make sure that ICMPv6 messages are allowed (in particular, Type 2 or Packet Too Big) Gianfar and Kajam are working fine. Quote Share this post Link to post
go558a83nk 362 Posted ... @Staff, I saw your tweet about Atik and the huge amount of traffic on it. For testing purposes were you directing all connections to the Netherlands region to that server to put a huge load on it? 1 LisaWet reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post

Staff 9973 Posted ... @Staff, I saw your tweet about Atik and the huge amount of traffic on it. For testing purposes were you directing all connections to the Netherlands region to that server to put a huge load on it? Hello! No, we wouldn't make a stress test with customers. However, a system error caused the overload and we took advantage to take a look (ex post) to see how the server reacted to this mistake. When we realized what happened, it had already happened: at least we now have an interesting set of data coming from a "real life" test. The set of data is comfortably surprising, even because Atik is NOT YET a Gen 2 server, so the latest load balancing system is not yet implemented. This means that now we expect even more from Gen 2 servers which share 10 Gbit/s lines. Kind regards Quote Share this post Link to post

Hello! We are not yet well equipped to break the laws of physics. Servers in the NL are connected to 10 Gbit/s lines and ports. However, the lines are shared by 11 servers, so in the worst case scenario of maximum, simultaneous bandwidth requirement, theoretically and optimistically (and boldly assuming that a perfect balance is possible) each server can have 909 Mbit/s.

Staff 9973 Posted ... Great that you implemented IPv6 in your service. Thank you! Although I got a few questions: 1. Port Forwarding is not working (yet)? I've already pointed a URL to the exit v6 and can ping it, but I can't establish a connection with SSHHello! Thanks, this needs an investigation. When you test in IPv4, you have no problems with port forwarding, is this right? Does the same happen if you run Eddie with Network Lock enabled and disabled? Have you checked the firewall rules pertaining to IPv6, especially when you run some other software to connect? 2. The test from https://test-ipv6.com/ is showing me a 10/10 but says "Your browser has real working IPv6 address - but is avoiding using it. We're concerned about this." Both my browsers (FF and Chromium) don't use IPv6 actively. Is this a problem because of the DNS using IPv4 or because the IPv6 of the tun device gets a Unique local address? This is a matter we are aware of, but we still don't have a definite explanation. https://airvpn.org/topic/25140-the-issue-your-browser-is-avoiding-ipv6/ We counted on some feedback and additional investigation, but the never ending black outs with IPv6 and the poor implementation in Italy ISPs made this impossible and we have postponed an additional investigation. On top of that, the issue does not affect the most important achievements we wanted with IPv6 support. i.e. the ability to provide at the same time:- a comfortable experience without any connectivity breaks to those who have only IPv6 connectivity- access to IPv6 services even to those who only have IPv4- definitive resolution of IPv6 leaks with no need to completely block or disable globally IPv6 (unless explicitly required by the user) for those users who don't run Eddie 3. When importing your ovpn files in NetworkManager, the IPv6 functionality is absent. Even if I activate the IPv6 tun-connection manually. It is working fine with the openvpn cli tool. Hope you can shed some light on these questions. Arch Linux up to date We have dropped support to network-manager-openvpn since a long ago. We might investigate the issue in the future, but currently the official recommendation from the techies is just to not use it. EDIT: A test on Subra revealed some problems: Danger!

DarkSpace-Harbinger 11 Posted ... @Staff is it possible connecting with IPV6 could be used to bypass IP blocks? Suppose a ISP blocks a VPN IPv4 VPN entry. Could the IPv6 still get through? Quote Share this post Link to post

htpc 9 Posted ... Updated documentation please How would I use IPv4 and IPv6 on DD-WRT with tls-crypt for example? I would also like to know that! Quote Share this post Link to post
