External links don't work in AirVPN .onion website

[Strathe 2]

Try clicking https://duckduckgo.com/ in this post while browsing the .onion AirVPN website with Tor. You will get the message "This page is available only for redirect inside AirVPN website" instead of the expected "Now leaving airvpn.org. Beware! Hic sunt leones!"

Hello!

Intentional / intended.

Would it be possible to make it work on airvpn.dev?

@benfitita

Hello!

Technically it would be possible, but we don't want to make it possible, because airvpn.dev is meant to comply to higher security features. Copy the URL and paste it into your browser bar.

Kind regards

I can imagine some users might switch back to airvpn.org when they see this page. It might make them think .dev is broken. Then again probably most people don't use .dev anyway. Could you maybe make it more user friendly and add a sentence explaining why this is disabled and what to do?

Hello!

We don't think they don't understand because the error message seems clear.

You're asking to delete the reason of existence of airvpn.dev. Explanation can be found in the specs page: "airvpn.dev web server configuration provides a hardened security configuration to get a rating aiming to 100% (Qualys SSL Labs, CryptCheck) which sacrifices compatibility with older systems and browsers (example: Android 6 will not connect)."

Kind regards
