Wireguard or Eddie for Mac M1

[teseo_99 0]

Hi I am new to the computer science world, bought airVPN for torrenting, should I download Eddie or Hummingbird, which I have no clue what the difference is, do both have GUI & CLI? Also there is the option without Airvpn software like Wireguard (Apple Store) and Wireguard(Homebrew), idk if also I have to download these....

We've had that question sometime before but I cannot manage to find the summary anymore..
First, Hummingbird is an AirVPN CLI client based on AirVPN's work for OpenVPN 3 (the current version is 2.6 while 3 is being worked on) and official Wireguard. It can be run standalone with privileges and has a relatively small footprint.
Eddie is a full-fledged AirVPN GUI client using either OpenVPN, Wireguard or Hummingbird.
So, if you need something to click on, use Eddie. If you are one to type more, use Hummingbird.

For completeness' sake, there is also the existence of the AirVPN Suite comprising Bluetit, Goldcrest and Cuckoo, the former of which is a service which connects to AirVPN in the background, controlled via the Goldcrest client, and bundled with the split traffic manager Cuckoo (but it is irrelevant as it's Linux-only as of today).
