Eddie Android edition 3.2.0 available

Recommended Posts

Hello!

Eddie Android edition is a fully integrated with AirVPN, free and open source WireGuard and OpenVPN GUI client. Source code is available on GitLab. Eddie is based on official WireGuard library and OpenVPN3-AirVPN library (free and open source software library by AirVPN), allowing comfortable connections to both OpenVPN and WireGuard servers. All Android versions from 5.1 to 14 are supported.

We're very pleased to announce that Eddie Android Edition 3.2.0 is now available: a release focused on bug fixes featuring also a much more robust management of critical situations and network conditions.

  • Network name and extra information are shown along with network type Device network status management
  • Fully compatible with Android TV 5.1 and higher versions 
 

Please remember that, starting from Android TV 10, Always On VPN feature has been stripped off in order to prevent users from connecting to a VPN during an Android TV based system bootstrap. Therefore Eddie start & connection at bootstrap, as well as system built in leaks prevention, are not possible on Android TV 10 and higher versions. For leaks prevention you can rely on Eddie's "VPN Lock" feature. Android TV 9 and older versions can still start Eddie during the bootstrap and have it connected when you activate Always on VPN and configure Eddie accordingly.

thanks for the update. I mange to crash the app, force quit does not resolve the issue. It hangs on AirVPN logo forever when restarting. Only uninstall and reinstall makes it work again.

Steps to reproduce:

wlan is disabled when opening the app. I switch to my favorite server list, activate my wlan, and if I click on any server before the wlan is established, it is done.

Previous version did not have this problem

Hello and thank you!

Bug confirmed and reproduced. We will fix it expeditiously and make a new 3.2.1 version to be tested in the near future. In the meantime, to avoid the problem, you have two options:
  1. if you try a connection from a server list when WiFi is off and LTE is off too, do not kill ungracefully the app. Just wait 60 seconds and the app will tell you that there's no network and will remain operational
  2. if you kill without grace the app anyway, you can delete the app's cache from Android app settings (instead of de-installing and re-installing the app) in order to re-enable the app to start properly

Kind regards

Android 15 - Eddie 3.2.0

Sometimes, the quick settings tile keeps displaying "Unavailable" regardless of whether I'm connected to a server or not. Plus, it always shows "AirVPN: Connected to AirVPN <Server name> - <City, Country> even if I'm not connected to any server. The tile works just fine though: it either starts or stops the VPN connection.

I also noticed that the quick settings tile can be used from the secure lock screen without asking for authentication. This means that anyone can grab the device and connect/disconnect, which is terrible from a security point of view in my opinion.

Enabling master password in Eddie prevents this, tapping the tile from the secure lock screen no longer does anything in this case. Is this by design?

My ROM comes with a "Secure QS tiles require unlocking" setting. Any chance Eddie could use this too?
