Hello!

We can't see AirVPN_Netherlands_UDP-443.ovpn, can you please check and re-send? Anyway from the log we see that the cipher forced on Bluetit is BF-CBC, which is not supported.

Kind regards

Made a new ovpn....same result. With another ovpn same error
With RC1 no problems.....

Hello!

Thank you, bug reproduced and confirmed, and it is indeed a regression from RC 1 as you wrote. We are investigating but we have already a precise idea of the problem, so expect a fix soon. In the meantime, to use RC 2 and keep testing you must enter in the profile the deprecated 'cipher' directive, for example:

cipher CHACHA20-POLY1305

or

cipher AES-256-GCM

Alternatively, you may avoid ovpn profiles. As a further alternative, include "--cipher <cipher>" in Goldcrest command line options.

Kind regards

Hello,

Is there a good syntax description for the .rc configuration files?  I tried the latest release and are just unsure if the syntax is correct, as in previous releases some of the functionality such as lists wasn't working.

Thanks in advance!

[Staff 9950]

@TooLittleTime

Hello!

Yes, please consult the user's manual (the .rc file templates will also show a lot) and test whether the problem you mention is resolved in the current RC. As far as we know lists have always worked correctly, a bug was that even the password argument was treated as a list when a comma was there.

Kind regards

Be advised that it also ails Eddie if RC2's Hummingbird is used instead of OpenVPN there. But it looks like you're working on it, anyway.

I have the following issue, on both 1.1 and this RC with arch linux. When I systemctl suspend and wake, I get the following output:

ERROR: KEEPALIVE_TIMEOUT
Session invalidated: KEEPALIVE_TIMEOUT
Client terminated, restarting in 2000 ms...
EVENT: RECONNECTING
ERROR: N_RECONNECT
Contacting 79.142.69.162:443 via UDP
EVENT: WAIT
Connecting to [ch3.vpn.airdns.org]:443 (79.142.69.162) via UDPv4

 Which then loops like this indefinitely until I restart it:

bluetit[6882]: Server poll timeout, trying next remote entry...
bluetit[6882]: EVENT: RECONNECTING
bluetit[6882]: ERROR: N_RECONNECT
bluetit[6882]: Contacting 79.142.69.162:443 via UDP
bluetit[6882]: EVENT: WAIT
bluetit[6882]: Connecting to [ch3.vpn.airdns.org]:443 (79.142.69.162) via UDPv4

goldcrest --reconnect does not work to get it back, nor does pause/resume. I can use goldcrest --disconnect and connect again with --air-connect or restart the bluetit service, but this isn't ideal. interestingly if I sleep for a second time the bluetit service uses 100% of a cpu core, connection stats say it's connected and there is no apparent log output, but there is no connection and I have to restart it as before. The difference with this RC is it doesn't break the network lock when I disconnect.

Not sure if the program isn't designed to handle this elegantly, it's a bug or I've misconfigured something as I am quite new to linux.

Hello!

Update: AirVPN Suite 1.2.0 Release Candidate 3 is now available. Original message download links and changelog have been updated accordingly.  Thank you for your tests!

Kind regards
 

[OpenSourcerer 1432]

RC3 working splendidly following a few quick tests using Goldcrest/Bluetit options. --pause and --resume are working, too, at least they did those few times I tried it.

This time I delved into .ovpn files, and what can I say, apart from the unused options it connected just fine and set all options correctly.

2022-03-17 23:45:29 UNUSED OPTIONS
2 [resolv-retry] [infinite]
3 [nobind]

With RC3 no problems so far 👌

Thanks for sharing this new update with us.

Hello,

I've recently upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04, which has deprecated libssl 1.1, making AirVPN suite unusable in its current state.

Have you any plans to upgrade AirVPN suite to make use of more modern libraries and in the meantime, could anyone explain how I can install these older libraries to use AirVPN Suite in a way that won't affect the current libssl libraries or break the system.

Many thanks!

Install it manually (deb package). You can find it here: http://nz2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.16_amd64.deb

Thanks, that got it work. I appreciate it!

I'm still curious to know if the staff has any plans to update the suite to make use of libssl 3 in the future.

Thanks again!

Hello!

Yes, you can test AirVPN Suite 1.2.1 RC1 linked against libssl 3 right now. It's a quick fix release, while all the major new options will be implemented in the next version, whose development started.

You can download Release Candidate 1 for x86-64 at the moment, The internal beta testing ended successfully and any known bug has been fixed. Inside the tarball you also find the changelog. As soon as all the other packages (for ARM) are ready, we will announce everything on a new thread, but feel free to start using it right now of course.

Find the changelog inside the tarball. Download link:
https://eddie.website/repository/AirVPN-Suite/1.2.1-RC1/AirVPN-Suite-x86_64-1.2.1-RC-1.tar.gz

I'm a total Linux newbie, so my questions are most likely very naive, to be generous.

In any case, I've seen there's a Docker container for Hummingbird but I don't understand how the three components in this suite interact.

Bluetit: lightweight, ultra-fast D-Bus controlled system daemon providing full connectivity and integration to AirVPN servers, or generic OpenVPN servers. Bluetit can also enforce Network Lock and/or connect the system to AirVPN during the bootstrap

Goldcrest: Bluetit client, allowing full integration with AirVPN servers, users, keys, profiles as well as generic OpenVPN servers
Hummingbird: lightweight and standalone binary for generic OpenVPN server connections

This leads me to believe that one would need just Bluetit and that Bluetit is the faster option for using AirVPN servers. So why was the Docker container designed around Hummingbird?

I am also trying to find out this suit interacts. Let me know if you found out a solution. The greatest website that can translate a few pages into French is what I'm merely searching for, but I can't seem to locate one. Then, one of my friends suggested the excellent website check here, which is qualified and adept at translating web pages. If you need any translation services, you can also check out this website.

Bluetit is the daemon connecting to AirVPN, so it's a specialized OpenVPN client. Goldcrest is a client frontend for Bluetit. Another project, Firecrest, is in active development and will be a GUI client for Bluetit. Ergo, Bluetit is the workhorse in the suite. It depends on an init system running udev, something a Docker container does not have. So, the unofficial Docker container is built around the third wheel in the stack, Hummingbird, which is a standalone OpenVPN client, capable to connect to any OpenVPN server standalone. The container could've been built with the official OpenVPN 3 or even OpenVPN 2.x as standalone clients, too (and, in fact, I think it's based on another container using exactly this).

Oh, and Bluetit shares a large portion of its logic with Hummingbird since the former is derived from the latter.

Hello!

Out of curiosity, the Suite foundation classes are shared between the whole Suite components whenever possible, as you rightly notice, for the purposes of good design and optimization, but historically and logically Bluetit did not derive from Hummingbird. Given the completely different architecture of those programs, it would have been impossible. Even the logic is profoundly different (no wonder, one is a real daemon the other a root process). Nowadays the opposite is partly true, it's Hummingbird which benefits from Bluetit development when possible. The foundation classes themselves have been and are always designed for the client-server model.

@tranquivox69

As explained by @OpenSourcerer you can't run Bluetit in a docker. If you need the client-server architecture that only Bluetit can give you, consider a full virtualization (or running the daemon on the host - of course. ). By running Hummingbird, anyway, performance will not be penalized at all: the underlying libraries which are critical for performance (e.g. OpenVPN3-AirVPN and OpenSSL) are the very same, so you should not notice any differences in this respect.

Kind regards
