Hello!

If you run Eddie Windows edition (if not, please specify the software you run), it's because Eddie Windows edition runs external binaries and performs various operations which are not necessary in Eddie Android edition. Furthermore, in Android, the round trip times calculations are completely skipped as quite a different method is employed to pick a server when the user leaves the choice to the program. Here some tricks to speed up the connection phase to a VPN server in Windows:

1) keep Network Lock enabled and disable both route and DNS check.

• In Preferences > Advanced window uncheck Check if the tunnel works and click "Save"
• In Preferences > DNS window uncheck Check Air VPN DNS

2) If you already have your set of favorite servers and you don't need that Eddie re-computes at each new connection the whole round trip times table, in Preferences > Advanced uncheck Enable latency tests and click "Save".

With the above settings met, your initial connection will become noticeably faster.

Kind regards
