TLS 1.3 supported on AirVPN web servers

[Staff 8107]

Hello!

We're very glad to inform you that TLS 1.3 is now supported on all AirVPN web servers.

Why TLS 1.3 is better than 1.2:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security#TLS_1.3

TLS 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2 will still be available for backward compatibility.

Kind regards and datalove

Any change to https://airvpn.org/specs/ with this new capability?

LOL, I misread.  Nevermind!

Great stuff!  Just wondering whether Eddie can use TLS 1.3 now or will that come in a future release?

Looks like I'm not the only one to "misread".

My friends, this applies to *web* servers.

The OpenVPN connection has less
benefits from TLS 1.3 unlike web.

Most improvements are roundtrip and
overhead related, so nothing OpenVPN can really benefit from,
as well as downgrade attack extra
prevention which are mitigated by
both the client and the server.

This would be supported eventually
by all but not such important as web.

Competitors should follow this as well
better sooner than later

On the config generator page, under Specs, I could only find tls-crypt, tls 1.2
How do I generate config files that support tls-crypt, tls 1.3?

Hello!

You can't. TLS 1.3 will be supported starting from OpenVPN 2.4.7 in the near future. Quite irrelevant for OpenVPN currently, but stay tuned. TLS 1.3 is available on all of our web servers, where it is not irrelevant at all.

Kind regards

As mentioned, I am using OpenVPN 2.4.7. Please show me how to connect to your servers using TLS 1.3.

When will AirVPN provide support of TLS 1.3 on its VPN servers?

Oh my god, patience! What the hell is wrong with some people nowadays? Everyone expects shit being done the moment they say they need it.
Read Staff's post again... carefully.
