Thanks, so it looks like the problem is Bluetit-specific. Can you please send us (here or in private) the complete Bluetit log, taken after the problem has occurred, that you can print with the following command?
sudo journalctl | grep bluetit
Kind regards

Bluetit run control file (/etc/airvpn/bluetit.rc) option:

airvpntype: (string) VPN type to be used for AirVPN connections. Possible values: wireguard, openvpn. Default: openvpn

 

@Staff Correct me if I'm wrong but it appears that airvpntype option is missing from /etc/airvpn/bluetit.rc file in AirVPN-Suite-x86_64-2.0.0-alpha-2.tar.gz archive (sha512 sum verified and matching).

Thought I would let you know.

My experience after using 2.0.0 Preview for a few days (systemd 255.3 / NetworkManager 1.42.6-r2)

Feb 12 16:09:30 desktop bluetit[3306]: Waiting for external network connection to be available

It's stuck at "Waiting for external network connection to be available" but at this point my Ethernet interface is up and working. I do
have Internet connection outside of the VPN tunnel.

Futhermore, switching back to
airvpntype           openvpn
and rebooting results in the same issue at boot. bluetit.service still prints "WireGuard connection available" whereas it should now connect using OpenVPN instead of Wireguard.

Regardless of "airvpntype" value, restarting bluetit.service manually solves the issue and the VPN connection is established successfully.

I never experienced this before on AirVPN Suite 1.3.0.

Another concern is that bluetit doesn't automatically reconnect after resuming from suspend/hibernate. This isn't new, it has always been like this as far as I'm concerned. I've been using custom systemd services to stop bluetit before suspending/hibernating and starting it again after, but it doesn't work reliably.

If someone has a more robust workaround, I'd love to know it.

Apart from that, I haven't experienced any disconnection whatsoever using Wireguard, very stable. The speed boost (depending on the server) compared to OpenVPN is noticeable and nice to have.

Thanks.

Hi, is there a way to reverse the split tunnnel (I.E. have only specified apps using the VPN connection)?

Hello!

We're sorry, this is not currently planned. Suite 2.0 is designed to offer reverse traffic splitting on an application basis only. The type of traffic splitting you request may be considered in future releases.

Kind regards

Hello!

We're glad to inform you that AirVPN Suite 2.0.0 Beta 1 is now available.

 
What's new
  • update of all libraries
  • OpenVPN linked against OpenSSL 3 in every package (dynamically linked in non-legacy packages, statically linked (3.3.0) in legacy packages in order to operate on those systems still not offering OpenSSL 3)
  • improved WireGuard support and management
  • Goldcrest and Bluetit asynchronous connections and Network Lock
  • suspend / resume service for Bluetit in systemd based systems
  • rewritten network availability detection
  • options autocompletion by pressing the TAB key on bash or zsh while entering a Goldcrest or Hummingbird command
  • change of logic in the choice of servers in a specific country, no more using domain names (for additional safety against Tunnelcrack)
  • ability to select whether Network Lock must allow or not communications within local network
  • enhanced support to those IPv6-only networks, no more supporting IPv4 directly and working on IPv4->IPv6 address translation: Network Lock will now allow traffic to/from the translated addresses
  • support for highly-hybridized systems running components causing a frequent mix up of nft and iptables rules (example: Fedora 39 and above) through Network Lock proper adjustments
  • support for legacy 64 bit systems, both x86-64 and ARM (examples: Debian 11, Raspberry Pi OS 64 bit legacy)
  • bug fixes

The list of changes and new features is very long! Please check the various changelogs, available in the first post of this thread. Also check the new readme.md to test and use the new features.

Kind regards & datalove

Nice!

I've been using 2.0.0 Beta 1 for a few hours, so far so good. The issue I reported where bluetit wouldn't connect at boot with 2.0.0 alpha 2 despite using "airconnectatboot quick" is solved on my end. I couldn't reproduce after a few reboots (using Wireguard, default).

The new bluetit-suspend/bluetit.resume systemd units seem to work consistently after several resume/suspend.

After running this Bash script and then suspending, it seems that there isn't any DNS leak at all:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

while true; do
  curl ifconfig.co/country >> output.txt
  sleep 0.5s
done
I did this multiple times and the output file only contains the country of the VPN server I was connected to. May I ask how the network lock somehow "survives" these:
systemctl stop bluetit.service
systemctl start bluetit.service
considering that stopping bluetit.service manually disables the network lock?

Is real IP address really not briefly exposed just before suspending and right after resuming?

Will report back after a longer period of usage.

Thanks.

Hello!

Thank you very much for your tests! We're very pleased to receive confirmation that this version solves those problems.

Network Lock does not survive, but it is re-enforced before any new socket can be created, so no leak occurs. This is exclusively up to systemd: apart from writing correctly the suspend and resume unit files there's nothing else we can do, we're afraid.

Kind regards

Quick feedback after using 2.0.0 Beta 1 for 10 days.

Just as stable as 1.3.0, no issue. Speed boost with Wireguard is significant.

The only minor inconvenience I experienced is that sometimes (occurred 4 times since May 14th out of 20+ suspend/resume in total), bluetit couldn't reconnect after resuming from suspend (log below). I had to restart the service manually with:

# systemctl restart bluetit.service
else it seems that it would have been stuck forever (waited a few minutes). It seems that bluetit tries to reconnect too early after resuming and the network isn't up yet. Maybe this could be fixed by adjusting bluetit-resume.service?

On a different note: Any chance goldcrest could have a similar option than journalctl -f, --follow
Quote

man journalctl

 -f, --follow
           Show only the most recent journal entries, and continuously print new entries as they are appended to the journal.

This would be useful to monitor
goldcrest --bluetit-status

I know I could use watch but unfortunately it doesn't play well with tailspin that I'm using for highlighting.
Currently I'm using a simple while loop but clearing the screen every few seconds isn't as readable as a "natural" refreshing:
$ while true; do
    goldcrest --bluetit-status | tspin
    sleep 10
    clear
done

Quick feedback after using 2.0.0 Beta 1 for 10 days.

Just as stable as 1.3.0, no issue. Speed boost with Wireguard is significant.


Hello and thank you for your tests!

Excellent. Kudos to the new WireGuard library too.

It seems that bluetit tries to reconnect too early after resuming and the network isn't up yet. Maybe this could be fixed by adjusting bluetit-resume.service?


In the unit file targets you can see that systemd must start Bluetit only when the network is up (Wants=network-online.target). Bluetit also waits some more time for a valid gateway, see here:
Quote

External network is reachable via IPv4 gateway 192.168.1.254 through interface eno1


The above log entry seems to confirm that systemd is right and the network is really up but of course the fact that the network is up does not guarantee that the system's upstream router has a valid Internet connection. If the router does not have Internet connectivity, the incident wouldn't be a systemd or bluetit fault. We will investigate. In which distribution do you experience this?

OK. By starting the connection with Goldcrest you may rely on the conn-stat-interval n option, where n is in seconds (please consult the user's manual for more details). You may also consider async for more tasks: the new asynchronous mode adds some interactivity, please check the new manual.

However conn-stat-interval  is not available in bluetit.rc. Thus, if you don't start a connection via Goldcrest, your approach is the way to go at a first glance. We'll consider your suggestion.

Thanks again, keep testing! :)

Kind regards

Indeed, I'm not sure why this occurs occasionally. I'm using Gentoo.
Maybe simply adding
ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/sleep 5
before
ExecStart=systemctl start bluetit.service
could help, I'll try and let you know how it goes.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'm currently using
airconnectatboot quick
in bluetit.rc for now because I wanted to test the bluetit-suspend / bluetit-resume systemd units.

When manually connecting with goldcrest, I'm fine with the default interval.

One more question/remark:
--bluetit-status              : Show Bluetit status and exit
--bluetit-stats               : Show Bluetit connection statistics and exit
These two options produce very similar output on my end, the only difference is that --status also prints:
Persistent Network Lock and Filter is enabled. (using iptables) Private network is allowed.
Just curious as to why there are two distinct options?

Thanks.

Hello!

Please keep us posted and let us know, when you manage to reproduce the problem, what happens with the delay. It's not a solution we recommend because it can expose to leaks but the outcome may provide some insight. We're working on a different approach but we still can't reproduce the problem unfortunately, so it's too early to say whether or not the different approach will be effective.

Different options for different tasks, even if partially overlapping, nothing too unusual.

Kind regards

After 7 days (20+ suspend/resume), I couldn't reproduce the problem with:
ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/sleep 5
