ANSWERED AirVPN/Gluetun - how to choose a server?

[ms2738 12]

I would like to choose a specific server because it's the only 20000 server.  It's in Miami and called Dziban.

When I try via endpoint with WIREGUARD_ENDPOINT_IP: 45.92.16.132 it fails with ERROR [vpn] finding a VPN server: target IP address not found: in 12 filtered connections.

When I try with SERVER_NAMES: Dziban I get ERROR VPN settings: provider settings: server selection: for VPN service provider airvpn: the server name specified is not valid: value is not one of the possible choices: none of dziban is one of the choices available Achernar, Achird, Adhara, Agena, Ain, Ainalrami, Aladfar, Alamak, Alathfar, Albaldah, Albali, Alchiba, Alcyone, Alderamin, Algieba, Algorab, Alhena, Aljanah, Alkurhah, Alnitak, Alphard, Alphecca, Alpheratz, Alphirk, Alrai, Alrami, Alruba, Alsephina, Alshain, Alshat, Alterf, Aludra, Alula, Alwaid, Alya, Alzirr, Ancha, Andromeda, Angetenar, Anser, Apus, Aquila, Arion, Arkab, Ascella, Asellus, Aspidiske, Asterion, Asterope, Atik, Atria, Auriga, Avior, Azmidiske, Baiten, Beemim, Benetnasch, Betelgeuse, Bharani, Biham, Bootes, Bunda, Caelum, Camelopardalis, Canis, Capella, Caph, Capricornus, Carinae, Castor, Celaeno, Cephei, Cepheus, Chalawan, Chamaeleon, Chara, Chertan, Chort, Chow, Circinus, Columba, Comae, Copernicus, Crater, Cujam, Cygnus, Dalim, Delphinus, Denebola, Diadema, Diphda, Dorado, Dubhe, Edasich, Elkurud, Elnath, Eltanin, Enif, Equuleus, Eridanus, Fang, Fawaris, Felis, Fleed, Fomalhaut, Fulu, Garnet, Gemini, Geminorum, Gianfar, Giausar, Gienah, Ginan, Gorgonea, Groombridge, Grus, Haedus, Hamal, Hassaleh, Helvetios, Hercules, Horologium, Hyadum, Hydra, Hydrus, Iklil, Imai, Indus, Intercrus, Iskandar, Jabbah, Kajam, Kitalpha, Kitel, Kocab, Kruger, Lacaille, Lacerta, Larawag, Leo, Lesath, Libra, Lich, Luhman, Lupus, Luyten, Maasym, Markab, Marsic, Matar, Mebsuta, Meissa, Mekbuda, Meleph, Melnick, Menkab, Menkalinan, Menkent, Mensa, Merga, Mesarthim, Metallah, Minchir, Mintaka, Mirach, Miram, Mirfak, Mirzam, Muhlifain, Muphrid, Musca, Muscida, Musica, Nahn, Naos, Nash, Nashira, Norma, Okab, Ophiuchus, Orbitar, Orion, Pegasus, Phact, Phaet, Phoenix, Piautos, Pisces, Pleione, Polis, Praecipua, Pyxis, Ran, Regulus, Ross, Rotanev, Rukbat, Saclateni, Sadachbia, Sadalbari, Sadr, Saiph, Salm, Sargas, Schedir, Sculptor, Scuti, Scutum, Sextans, Sham, Sharatan, Sheliak, Sirrah, Situla, Sneden, Struve, Sualocin, Subra, Suhail, Superba, Taiyi, Talitha, Taphao, Tarazed, Taurus, Teegarden, Tegmen, Tejat, Telescopium, Tiaki, Tianguan, Tianyi, Titawin, Triangulum, Tucana, Turais, Tyl, Ukdah, Ursa, Veritate, Virgo, Volans, Vulpecula, Wazn, Westerlund, Wurren, Xuange, Zibal, Zuben.

I have updated the servers json, I tried creating a new WG config, but try as I might I can't get it to work.  I'd like to understand why neither option works (they both SHOULD right) as well as any fix.  
Thanks in advance.

I fixed this, though it's still a bit frustrating.  I manually updated the servers.  Before you say "well duh", it has connected multiple times successfully before, so the servers SHOULD have been updated?  Anyway a manual update did the trick.

Hello!

GlueTun consults an xml file (usually providers.xml) for this purpose that is not maintained by AirVPN but by the good will of the developer who kindly integrated GlueTun with AirVPN. You need to keep the file up to date in general, and sometimes you have to wait for an update to have this file reflect all the servers that are periodically added or modified. If you check the file format you can also edit it manually to add specific servers you need, in case they are missing. The real time server monitor provides you with all the information you need to update the providers.xml file.

Kind regards
