Eddie Android edition 3.2.1 available

[Staff 10286]

Hello!

We're very glad to inform you that Eddie Android edition 3.2.1 is available. This is a hot fix release addressing specific issues and improving overall usage:

• fixed a bug which caused an anomalous situation and a long delay when the user tried to connect to a specific server or area when no network is available
• removed the option to disable Eddie's Persistent Notification, as disabling the persistent notification is now strongly deprecated for any VPN app because of the dangerous instability to the VPN tunnel it causes
• fixed traffic volume counter variable overflow

Eddie Android edition is free and open source software offering a comfortable GUI for both WireGuard and OpenVPN3-AirVPN library.

Eddie Android edition is the only official software by AirVPN developed for Android: we have been warned of some bogus versions in the Google App Store using the name "AirVPN" or "Air VPN". A few of them have been removed by Google, but a new one has re-appeared. The correct link to the free, open source and safe app developed by AirVPN is the following one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.airvpn.eddie

When will SSL tunneling come to the Android version?

[Hutchinman 2]

Issue: AirVPN Eddie Client GUI crashes when using Quick Connect option when all countries other than home country are forbidden while the 'Forbid quick connection to connect servers in my country' option is enabled in the settings.
OS: Android 11
Version: 3.2.1 (November 7th 2024)
Installation: Installed through the Google Play Store.
Expected Behavior: The app shouldn't crash in this scenario, it should probably give a popup that that isn't allowed to the 'Forbid quick connection to connect servers in my country' setting.

Hello!

Probably you mean OpenVPN over SSL. If so, not in the imminent version 3.3.0, we're sorry, but it could come in the next one.

Kind regards
