New 10 Gbit/s server available (DE)

[Staff 10082]

Hello!

We're very glad to inform you that a new 10 Gbit/s full duplex server located in Frankfurt, Germany, is available: Ashlesha.

The AirVPN client will show automatically the new server; if you use any other OpenVPN or WireGuard client you can generate all the files to access it through our configuration/certificates/key generator (menu "Client Area"->"Config generator").

The server accepts connections on ports 53, 80, 443, 1194, 2018 UDP and TCP for OpenVPN and ports 1637, 47107 and 51820 UDP for WireGuard.

Ashlesha supports OpenVPN over SSL and OpenVPN over SSH, TLS 1.3, OpenVPN tls-crypt and WireGuard.

Full IPv6 support is included as well.

As usual no traffic limits, no logs, no discrimination on protocols and hardened security against various attacks with separate entry and exit-IP addresses.

You can check the status as usual in our real time servers monitor .
 

Do not hesitate to contact us for any information or issue.

Kind regards & datalove
AirVPN Staff

Thanks for the new server!

Speeds are very good, about as much as I can get from my ISP.

What is the speed you pay for from your ISP?

1 Gbit on GPON, in reality i get 950 on download and 840 on upload.

As I'm somewhat far from Germany, getting 850/700 on a VPN seems totally fine.
(While I ran a Speedtest, Eddie speed stats peaked to 1 Gbit on downlink and 840 on uplink. Maybe if Speedtest ran for a little bit longer, it would show faster speed, too)

Wireguard, 1400 MTU

Eddie recommended setting for WG is 1320.  Have you by chance tried measuring your connection using 1320 to this server?  I am debating changing my WG settings but I thought you may try it and let us know how much if any your 1400 MTU setting improved things on your machine.

The highest MTU that doesn't have problems should be the fastest.  Going to 1320 or even 1280 is basically a way to make sure wireguard works for everybody.  But many people will have no problem using one even as high as 1420.

Thanks.  I'll give it a quick spin on a VM and see if I have any issues.  I use "chained" vpns so I will see how it goes.  I can also drop to a one hop and just look around for awhile.  I spend a ton of time on TOR but not always, especially when I need speed for a large download.  Thanks for the followup.

I know that I can use 1500 MTU on my ISP, so 1400 Wireguard MTU will work the best for my connection

If 1500 byte is possible with your ISP then 1420 for wireguard should work fine.  In pfsense I use 1420 for MTU and MSS, and with that TCP connections though the tunnel are capped at 1380 bytes.

MTU 1400 seems to be working without a hitch.  Just checking back in case others are reading along!
