AirVPN Suite 1.3.0 & Wireguard

[debounce 0]

Hi All,

I am running Ubuntu 22.04.  I have installed AirVPN Suite 1.3.0 with bluetit service running successfully.  I would like to use wireguard instead of openVPN with bluetit.  It seems bluetit is not connecting via wireguard and instead uses OpenVPN.  These are the steps I have taken:

1. installed apt package wireguard
2. configured wireguard public and private keys into /etc/wireguard/
3. Configured bluetit via /etc/airvpn/bluetit.rc with "airvpntype wireguard" to enable wireguard

When I issue goldcrest --recover-network, here is the output:

Goldcrest - AirVPN Bluetit Client 1.3.0 - 1 June 2023

2023-11-01 22:13:25 Bluetit does not need a network recovery.
2023-11-01 22:13:25 Bluetit session terminated

/var/log/syslog shows bluetit is still trying to connect via WireGuard but it is not supported:

Is it correct AirVPN 1.3.0 does not support wireguard?

Hello!

That's correct, AirVPN Suite 1.3.0 does not support WireGuard. WireGuard support is expected on AirVPN Suite 2.0.0 alpha 2, whose availability is imminent:
