I was under a rock, new to airvpn

[mktux 3]

Hello everyone!

I recently learned about the airvpn. What i like is the tools are all opensource, aligns with my ethos. I even used ipleak back in the day to check my ip info as well. Later i found out that it was made by air's team as well.

What truly surprised me is the availability of a forum. It's quite rare and i like it. The website reminds me of archlinux, simple and functional not following every UI/UX trends.

I don't have a active plan right now as i joined-in today. Missed the deal by a day, oh well. 

I am using linux, and earlier with another vpn service i used to get the openvpn files and set it up inside the kde plasma network-manager then setup a firewall rule as kill switch.

Is eddie gui a better way to connect to airvpn on archlinux, instead of the above method?

It's the furthest thing from Arch tech-wise. Arch tracks upstream and is very often up-to-date (only Fedora is a bit ahead), while AirVPN has been on this IP.Board version for almost a decade soon.

I'd say, install it from the AUR and check it out yourself – just like Arch compels you to do
