Better search/filter/tools on Servers list

Recommended Posts

Posted ... (edited)

Here are some suggestions for improving the server listing page. Some of these features are baked into your Eddie client, and would be awesome to have on the web page:
 

  • Proximity/location-based sorting/filtering - continent, country, state, city. Anything to help narrow down 
  • Load sorting/filtering - sort or filter list by current server load
  • Latency testing/sorting/filtering - if user is not connected to vpn, execute a ping test, similar to https://gameserverping.com/ping-test
  • Favorite/star - user can mark favorites
  • Recently used / most used by user - I often go searching down the list for the ones I most commonly connect to.

This has been done in the past, and dropped, probably because it can be abused too easily for DoS.

Unsaveable unless logged in. And if logged in, it's a superfluous data point for abuse.

Requires saving past servers. A similar feature, the connection archive, was a feature in the past as well, and was eliminated due to privacy concerns.

You may use the AirVPN API to fetch the list of servers and do some filtering/grouping magic with command line tooling locally instead. Open a thread if you need help with that, someone is always willing to hack away with you :)
