Best settings for speed and security?

[MoniBinis 0]

Hi everyone,

Im trying to figure out the best settings in Eddie that would balance security while being fast at the same time. Also, would it be possible to bypass VPN blocks on Prime video and Netflix by tweaking the settings? Please share your settings and thank you :)

Use entry 3 ip address of servers which supports tls-crypt and choose udp proto along with chacha20-poly1305 cipher on arm devices (like phones) or aes-gcm on processors support aes-ni instructions. (Intel, AMD, ...) for a good mixture of speed & security.

About video streaming services, unfortunately, AirVPN doesn't cover them. (Some of them may work. you should try urself)

You could configure to not use the VPN connection for these, but it'd require a lot of work finding out what server IPs to exclude.
The answer is no. AirVPN have set up a few "routing" servers (see at the bottom) to bypass some countries streaming services blocks, but they don't actively hunt to bypass big streaming providers' blocks. It's a shame (or dare I say disgusting) what these services do to their paying customers and how much it limits their choice. Behind the scenes they're hostages to whatever obligations copyright holders put on them. In most cases it's DRM and VPN blocks due to mandatory geo-blocking.
