Constant drop outs in data transfer

Recommended Posts

For a while now I've been getting annoying drop outs when any device is connected to any AirVPN server, the connection to the server remains up but all traffic in or out suddenly ceases, they start at random and typically last between 10-40 seconds, once they start they seem to typically get more and more frequent until they are happening every 2 to 3 minutes.
Its not the Internet connection I'm using as this remains running fine and all connections outside of the VPN continue at expected speeds when these drop outs occur.
I've tried changing protocols incase the ISP is deliberately interfering but nothing seems to help.
While 10-40 seconds may sound trivial, it makes some transfers downright painful (and occasionally impossible), especially when its at its most frequent 2-3 minute range.

If I change server eventually it will start again there maybe after an hour or so, sometimes just a few minutes.

I expect its something on the serverside, overload perhaps? (although I have tried on servers that your own stats say are virtually empty). I've also checked the logs and nothing appears there (or on the server graphs) when the drop outs occur.  Its just like the server falls into a catatonic state (but doesn't drop the VPN connection) then continues as if nothing ever happened.  If it was infrequent or was just a temporary drop in throughput I wouldn't mind, but it isn't.

Apart from this, I am very happy with the service, but unless it improves (I don't unrealisticly expect 100% perfect uptime from any VPN, but this is getting extremely annoying and troublesome) I will have to reconsider my use and re-subscription to this service.

We need those logs. In Eddie > Logs, click the lifebelt icon and paste or upload the output here. If you choose to paste it, consider using LOG formatting – it's the top left button in the post editor.
If you don't use Eddie, in the .ovpn config change the directive verb from 3 to 4 and connect. Let the connection drop a few times, then paste or upload that output here.

Very unlikely, otherwise the forums would be submerged in similar threads (by experience), but you're the only one as of now. :)

You are free to reconsider your choices without writing this to the AirVPN community. Right now you effectively threatened said community with cancelling the service which makes it a wee bit peculiar. :)

Ok, log as requested, in this period of around 4 hours, there were atleast 5 drops (far less than the average I've been seeing lately) each lasting about 15-20 seconds each. Hope it helps.
If you want Eddie speed graphs of drop outs occuring I'll provide them.

openvpn.custom: sndbuf 0
rcvbuf 0
compress lz4-v2


First of all, you can delete all these custom directives.
Setting the buffers twice, in Preferences and in OVPN directives, is superfluous. Eddie already explicitly sets them to -1 which amounts to "use defaults".
The compress parameter can be omitted as well, unless you're still on 3G or ADSL. Have you tried connecting without it?

Apart from that, it looks.. boringly normal. Are you using any internet security programs, firewalls, download managers?
If you want to optimize your system-wide buffers (amongst other networking-related things), I suggest TCP Optimizer. Greatly helped some people here in the past. Open as admin, in the first tab set your connection speed to whatever yours is, then down at "Choose settings" click "Optimal", confirm, reboot. Retry a connection then.

@giganerd Those buffer setting I was experimenting with makes no difference as you stated, I was trying them after suggestions elsewhere on the net to do with openvpn.
As for that compression option I was told this might help thoughput regardless of connection, I'm on a VDSL2 (FTTC) connection @ 80Mbit/20Mbit, you think its worthwhile using or a waste of time (it seems to slightly boost, but it could just be wishful thinking, as I've done no real comparison test)?

@Staff Thanks for the suggestion, I'm going to try it soon.  I'll post back if theres any difference

It may do so, problem is, compression and encryption lead to security problems in the past, not only in OpenVPN, and is therefore not advisable.
