UK: Manchester servers migration to new machines

[Staff 10697]

Hello!

We inform you that the three AirVPN servers located in Manchester, UK, are being migrated to new machines:

• Bubup
• Ceibo
• Chaophraya

The servers keep the same names, configuration, hardware and 10 Gbit/s port. Their IP addresses change, both entry and exit, IPv4 and IPv6.

Planned date: 2026-11-09, between 8 AM and 7 PM UTC. Each server might be unavailable for a short time during the switch.

What you need to do after the switch:

• Eddie, the AirVPN Suite and the other software that downloads the server list from us: nothing. The new addresses are picked up automatically.
• Configuration files generated with the Configuration Generator that use host names: nothing, the names will resolve to the new addresses.
• Configuration files that contain IP addresses (for example with the "Resolved hosts" option, or WireGuard files with an IP address in Endpoint): please generate them again after the migration.
• Firewall rules, routers or scripts that allow or refer to the old IP addresses of these servers: please update them.

Remote port forwarding is not affected: your forwarded ports stay the same.

Kind regards & datalove

Hello!

An update about the migration of the three Manchester servers (Bubup, Ceibo, Chaophraya) to new machines.

We have been informed by the provider that the servers can keep their current IP addresses. After the migration Bubup, Ceibo and Chaophraya will keep the same entry and exit IP addresses, both IPv4 and IPv6.

This means that no action is required on your side, whatever software or configuration you use:

- Eddie, the AirVPN Suite and the other software that downloads the server list: nothing to do, as before.
- Configuration files generated with the Configuration Generator, with host names or with IP addresses (including "Resolved hosts" and WireGuard files with an IP address in Endpoint): they remain valid, no need to generate them again.
- Firewall rules, routers or scripts that refer to the IP addresses of these servers: no need to change them.

Each server might still be unavailable for a short time during the switch.

Remote port forwarding is not affected: your forwarded ports stay the same.

Please ignore the previous instructions about new IP addresses. We apologize for any inconvenience if you have already started preparing for the change.

Kind regards & datalove
