Linux: AirVPN Suite 2.0.0 preview available
colorman and one other reacted to Staff for a post in a topic
Hello! We're very glad to inform you that AirVPN Suite 2.0.0 Release Candidate 1 for Linux is now available. The original post link is updated to show the new download URLs. The important differences from beta 5 are: a bug causing a crash when nft error messages exceeded a definite size has been fully addressed Bluetit features additional pause and re-connection attempts aimed at facilitating re-connection at system resume after suspension and other situations Please note that from now on compatibility with Debian 10 and its derivatives, that reached end of long term support and end of life on June 2024, is lost even for the legacy version, mainly because the Suite is now C++20 compliant. The legacy version remains suitable for Debian 11 and its derivatives. Kind regards -

I got referred to AirVPN thru a reddit post because I was unhappy with NordVPN. I'm a network architect and I am thoroughly impressed by AirVPN. OpenVPN and Wireguard options with an intuitive VPN client to boot that had me up and seeding over rates 95MB/s in under 5 minutes. Best 99 euros I've spent this year.

colorman and one other reacted to Staff for a post in a topic
Hello! We're very glad to inform you that AirVPN Suite 2.0.0 beta 5 for Linux is now available. The original post link is updated to show the new download URLs. This is an extensive bug fix version addressing all the issues reported ever since beta 4 was released and with the addition of new Network Lock related options offering more flexibility. Now you can accept or deny incoming, outgoing or both ICMP-echo packets, and independently you can permit or forbid IPv6 NDP, which is based on ICMPv6. The new options supported by Bluetit and Hummingbird are: allowping [on | off | input | output], default: output allowipv6ndp [on | off], default: on The Goldcrest and Hummingbird corresponding options are: --allow-ping --allow-ipv6ndp with the very same possible values and default settings. EDIT: BUG/error: the Hummingbird default value of allow-ping is "on" - please take note! It will be fixed in the next version. Please check the changelogs for each application included in the packages to see all the changes in detail. Kind regards and datalove AirVPN Staff -

Now you can accept or deny incoming, outgoing or both ICMP-echo packets, and independently you can permit or forbid IPv6 NDP, which is based on ICMPv6. The new options supported by Hummingbird (please check the readme file for additional details) are: --allow-ping --allow-ipv6ndp Apple ARM based systems version is now C++20 compliant (required by Sequoia) Important note for high speed line users Because of some architectural specifications and implementation in macOS Hummingbird may warn the user about shortage of buffer space, specifically when connected with the UDP. This condition is signaled by Hummingbird with the below messages in the log: UDP send exception: send: No buffer space available ERROR: NETWORK_SEND_ERROR The error is caused by the maximum network sockets size set in macOS, a value usually small and unsuited for modern high speed networks. The solution consists in increasing the maximum allowed size for socket buffers and, in case the problem persists, the number of mbuf clusters.

ANSWERED Port Forward In Unifi
ptitdo reacted to bbqsquirrel for a post in a topic
Thanks for everyone's input. I realized the problem ended up being me not paying attention to the features AirVPN provides. In the Client Area, make sure you define a "VPN Device" for the device you're trying to port forward to. Then in the port forward section in the client area, make sure you have the same device selected for the forwarded port. Finally, when you're doing your config generator, make sure you also have the proper device selected when generating your .conf file. That was the missing piece for me after following fisken's guide. Before I was using just the "default" device and having multiple clients connected under "default" was throwing something off. Just adding it here in case it helps someone in the fture. -

The front-end instance I posted earlier has a free sign-up, no email address required. Any random username / password will do. Then, complete a simple captcha related to analog time, and you're good for the session. It's not perfect but it's better than continuously hunting for serviceable Piped instances (or other front-end options that may or may not work). It appears likely Google has begun targeting VPN IP addresses and forcing logins; I doubt this issue is exclusive to Air servers. -
1 pointHello! This is correct and fine, very well. Geo-location can be finalized not only through IP address, but also through other methods such as cellular and Wi-Fi networks evaluation (a technique used by HTML5 geo-location method for example), GPS, language and time zone cross-checked with other info. In some circumstances it can indeed weaken your anonymity layer and in general harm your privacy so we recommend that you disable HTML5 geo-location on the browser(s), and turn off GPS on the equipped devices when not needed and when connected to the VPN. For Android, our software Eddie Android edition features a GPS coordinates spoofing option (disabled by default) which comes handy in some circumstances. When this option is enabled, Eddie spoofs the coordinates determined via GPS and make them match with the location of the AirVPN server the device is connected to. Kind regards
-
1 pointHello! Yes, that's correct. The amount of devices that can connect is unlimited, the limit is that no more than 5 can be connected at the same time. Router or any computer sharing the VPN connection and acting as a 'hot spot' counts as ONE device in any case. The intermittence of the problem is enigmatic, unless it is caused by a browser which does not block HTML5 geo-location. Are those mobile device and LG TV both connecting to your router and share the VPN connection? Is your "real" IP address (the public IP address assigned by your residential ISP to you) ever shown, or is the problem limited to the location? Kind regards
-
1 pointHello! Very good, if that's the case then even the "LG problem" would be solved. Let us know how it goes with Stremio and online gaming. Kind regards

ANSWERED Fritzbox 7530 ax
GreiverX reacted to OpenSourcerer for a post in a topic
If the 7530 is your router and you really like to tinker, Freetz can be used to install OpenVPN and iptables. At the same time you must get rid of some AVM tech through the Freetz config (for example, starting with Fritz!OS 5.x there's the AVM PA which ships its own versions of common Linux kernel network libs, rendering iptables useless for OpenVPN's use case; but if PA is not there you might get degraded performance). The recommendation shall be to connect a different *Wrt-capable router to the 7530 (OpenWRT, DD-WRT, AsusWrt, etc.), configure OpenVPN/Wireguard on that and henceforth connect all your devices to it. No other features than DSL and maybe telephony will be used on the Fritz!Box. Well, I think yes? Not familiar with that service. Subjective. Put it to the test with various servers, ports and protocols and see what works best. But in general, I strongly recommend against competitive gaming via VPN. Not only because you artificially increase the latency, but you also paint a big mark on your back saying "watch me closely, I'm probably up to no good". -

ANSWERED Setting up Plex Server [Port Forwarding]

1 point@Tubular Thanks for the relevant log and output. We have two overlapping problems here. One is caused by the translations between iptables and nftables (only when ufw is enabled, otherwise nftables usage is consistent and translations never enter into play). This is quickly resolved by not enabling ufw, as you noticed. The other problem is that when a session is over Eddie restores an old /etc/resolv.conf backup created in the past by Eddie 2.21.8: # Generated by Eddie v2.21.8 - https://eddie.website - Tuesday, January 14, 2025 3:36:48 PM UTC nameserver 10.<cut> The above is wrong and it could be the consequence of some old Eddie 2.21.8 dirty status caused by a crash. For the new Eddie the above file is the normal system setting to restore at the end of a session, so Eddie will make your system unable to resolve names when your system is not connected to the VPN. Please shut down Eddie, edit /etc/resolv.conf with any text editor (root privileges required) and enter only publicly available name servers, for example Quad9 (we recommend it for privacy and neutrality commitment). An example: nameserver 9.9.9.9 nameserver 149.112.112.112 nameserver 2620:fe::fe # only if your system, router and ISP support IPv6 Save the file, re-start Eddie, connect to some VPN server, shut down Eddie and verify whether the problem is solved.

Hello! We offer TOTP based 2FA. TOTP is an open protocol. lt has been adopted as Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard RFC 6238, it is not developed by Google. Furthermore, Google software and/or related services are not required in any way to use TOTP. TOTP (Time-based one-time password) is "the cornerstone of Initiative for Open Authentication (OATH) and is used in a number of two-factor authentication (2FA) systems". It is also supported by the Google Authenticator app, but of course you are not forced to run this app (Google Authenticator does not requite anymore your phone number, just to be precise).

Please run Eddie, enable Network Lock, connect to a VPN server, disconnect from that VPN server, disable Network Lock and then send us: a system report generated by Eddie https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/50663-youve-been-asked-for-a-support-filesystem-report-–-heres-what-to-do/ the output of "sudo nft list ruleset" the output of "sudo iptables-save" the output of "sudo ufw status" the output of "cat /etc/resolv.conf" In general, since Mint packet filtering platform is based on nftables, you should keep ufw disabled (the default setting in Mint 21.x) to avoid various clashes caused by translations forced by the hybrid usage of iptables-legacy (ufw works only with iptables, not with nftables) and nft.

ANSWERED Help with Gluetun & Qbittorrent
n0n4nyt#w41k3r reacted to ByteBuccaneer for a post in a topic
Sounds like you are making great progress, congrats! It sounds to me like everything is working as it should now, so we need to either: reset your expectations and correct your assumptions, or have you communicate why you think something should work a certain way or what your goals are. Putting your first and third posts together, it sounds like you expect to see the WebGUI on multiple ports. Can you explain why you would want that? I'm not going to say you couldn't engineer that, but I'm going to challenge your thinking here. Let's assume your machine has a local network static IP of 10.77.77.42; you access the WebGUI with http://10.77.77.42:8082 right? Why do you need additional access on port 27586? Are you trying to admin qBittorrent from outside your network? You haven't stated that before which is why I ask. Many users are uncomfortable exposing their WebGUI to the world, so you need to be clear that this is your desire (and secure it with https before doing so!). How many ports do you have forwarded from AirVPN? Are ports 8082 and 27586 in pool #2 (saving pool #1 ports for P2P users is the goal here)? Your line "FIREWALL_VPN_INPUT_PORTS=8082,27586,27587" isn't going to work unless all three of those ports are forwarded from AirVPN. I believe the most common use case is to only forward the torrenting port from pool #1 (27587) keeping the WebGUI port just for local network use. Lets check your devices to ensure they are not an issue. When you go to the devices screen have you set up a device? Then in the ports screen is that device linked to the port (in the dropdown)? And when making your config file did you select that device? When working correctly, the sessions screen should list your device at the top of the card when connected. -

1 pointHi there, I really love your service and will renew with the next big sale event. Being able to pay with crypto currencies is a must in the industry nowadays I find. I am glad you accept a variety of different currencies, especially Monero. Bitcoin payments are oftentimes prohibitively expensive due to high mining fees to get into the next block. Also they can take a long time if the mempool is overflowing with unprocessed transactions. It would be great if you could also accept payments over the lightning network which makes transactions instant and final for you, basically free for me to send and my service can be instantly activated instead of having to wait a certain amount for blocks to be mined. Integrating lightning payments is easy, free and secure. And even comes with some privacy improvements over regular Bitcoin transactions, so that nobody knows who paid you. please consider adding lightning support to make paying with Bitcoin cheaper, faster and more private while also reducing the load on the main blockchain. Resources like BTCpay Server make it easy to accept lightning payments along regular on-chain transactions all without a third party. Thank you so much, I am looking forward to opening a channel to you ! ☺️

1 pointLet's be clear. French web isn't closed, we can consult foreign websites unlike in North Corea, Russia or China. Name me any propagandized country who allows his people to consult other medias. Telling we wouldn't see anything is insulting our intelligence. Why don't we talk about US government who wants to ban TikTok, like Huawei and many others ? The difference between Rumble in France and Tiktok in US is pretty simple. Tiktok didn't boke US laws so the government had to find excuses related to "national security". Rumble hosts prohibit contents according french and european laws. France asked to Rumble to remove these contents (accounts belonging to russian medias doing disinformation (these medias are not only banned in France but also in whole Europe), to far right ppl, etc...). In France you're not allowed to publish anti-semitic speech in front of a nazi flag and that's normal. Sorry to tell you but it's the only truth, there's no conspiracy theory in this affair.

ANSWERED Possible Slow Speed Cause and Solution.
knighthawk reacted to bluesjunior for a post in a topic
For a few months now my PC has seemed slower in all aspects. I had put it down to it being an 8 years old desktop still running Windows 10. Also my 1G broadband connection although giving 850Mbps when not using AirVPN reduced to between 250-320Mbps when connected to AirVPN. Last Thursday I happened on this thread https://graphicscardhub.com/low-gpu-usage/ while researching why my graphics card an NVIDIA GeForce GTX1080 had stopped using its max power when using Handbrake and also my game of Elite Dangerous had started stuttering in certain situations. I found the cause and the solution for me in the section in Quotes below. On following the instructions I found my graphics card started working properly again and as an added bonus when I next started AirVPN I found that my download speed had now jumped up to 550-660Mbps and this has remained steady since. At 74 I am not as PC savvy as many so perhaps this can be another cause of slow speeds and wrongly blaming Virgin for bottlenecking etc. As my graphics card worked fine previously I am pretty sure that one of the Windows Updates in the last year or so must have caused this slowdown, likely another example of Microsoft meddling. Anyway hope this helps someone else having slowdowns. -

No, the graphics card didn't limit internet speed. I just inadvertently found the solution to that while trying to find out why my graphics card wasn't using its full resources while gaming. In the graphics card help post ( link above) I found the passage on "Windows Power Management Setting for PCI Express" was what had slowed not just my graphics card but my whole PC down. My CPU very rarely ran at its full 3750MHZ but mostly between 1200-2200MHZ. When I switched the "Link State Power Management" off as shown above suddenly my PC is much faster overall including my internet and broadband connection and my VPN connection goes from 250Mbps to near 600Mbps D/L compared to a regular 800+Mbps D/L without using aVPN. -

Please try the following settings (usually they are strictly necessary to bypass China blocks): switch to OpenVPN (if you haven't already done so) by tapping the icon "VPN Type" on the main view. Each tap switches between WireGuard and OpenVPN. force connection over TCP to port 443 in the following way: open "Settings" and expand "AirVPN" by tapping on it tap "Default OpenVPN protocol", select "TCP" and tap "OK" tap "Default OpenVPN port", select "443" and tap "OK" tap "Quick connection mode", select "Use default options only" and tap "OK" Finally test again connections to various servers in various locations. Kind regards -

1 pointHello I have been using Airvpn for gaming (unlock voice-chat) for almost 2 years now. It works great. it adds around 5 to 10 latency only, and the best thing is. There are no ping spikes at all. Nevertheless, you can get the free trail for 3 days and try the vpn with your game.

Port forwarding in qBittorrent

qBittorrent is awesome. In Options/Connection, fill in the port you forwarded in AirVPN Uncheck "Use UPnP" Unhceck "Use different port on each startup" In Options/BitTorrent, Check Enable DHT" Uncheck "Use a different port for DHT and BitTorrent" Check Enable Peer Exchange (PeX) Check Enable Local Peer Discovery (optional, based on seranecks post below) Encryption Mode: Prefer encryption Uncheck Enable anonymous mode Uncheck Torrent Queueing (my preference - use the entire ISP pipe for concurrent torrenting) In Options/Advanced, ensure the "Network Interface" is set to "tun0" so it will exclusively use the AirVPN Tunnel. (if on Windows, find the Local Area Connection number that references your tunnel adapter. You can find this out by going to a command prompt, running ipconfig /all, and look for the adapter with the 10.x address). Restart qBittorrent, and you should be good to go. -
1 pointHello! In order to avoid confusion and unnecessary anxiety, we have just now destroyed all the old "name" fields and reset them to login name. This action has not been performed for users that had already changed their display-name in the new website. We are confident that this solution will meet the needs of everybody. Kind regards
