As an European based company I would have expected that AirVPN would have implemented this from the beginning. It would be really great if this could be implemented. So nobody has to wonder whether his connection was established on the second day of March or the third day of February. Most people in the world use 24h notations and the international standard for the date is YYYY-MM-DD. This link summarizes the international standards and explains why this should be used. https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-time.html Little extract from the page above: "The 24h time notation specified here has already been the de-facto standard all over the world in written language for decades. The only exception are a few English speaking countries, where still notations with hours between 1 and 12 and additions like “a.m.” and “p.m.” are in wide use. The common 24h international standard notation is widely used now even in England (e.g. at airports, cinemas, bus/train timetables, etc.). Most other languages do not even have abbreviations like “a.m.” and “p.m.” and the 12h notation is certainly hardly ever used on Continental Europe to write or display a time. Even in the U.S., the military and computer programmers have been using the 24h notation for a long time."

Hello! We're very glad to inform you that for the first time in 8 years we have decided to modify our prices to encourage and reward longer terms commitments. While the shorter term plans remain basically unaltered, we have remarkably lowered prices of the long term plans and we have also added a brand new 3 Years plans for those who like to take greatest advantage from long commitments. Check out the new price list here: https://airvpn.org/buy Kind regards and datalove AirVPN Staff

I agree with kaymio. Using the ISO standard would make it so much simpler. Especially in the Eddie client main window.

@zhang888 That's correct, in the European Union cooperating with a private entity in an attempt to disclose and transmit personal data (including an IP address, which is recognized under specific circumstances as "personal data") is a borderline operation which may configure civil and even criminal infringements. The transmission of personal data between private companies without the explicit and informed consent of the data subject is a serious infringement in every EU country. Just for information or curiosity, in Italy the attempt to disclose a person's identity through IP addresses harvesting and request to the provider (ISP in general, proxy, VPN...) has been recognized as an illegal act, which must be rejected, in the so called "Peppermint affair", a long dispute between 2005 and 2010, which ended with a resounding defeat of all copyright trolls. One of central roles defending the interests of the citizens whose identities could have been disclosed according to the improper or illegal requests of copyright trolls was covered by lawyer Carlo Blengino, who has been a source of inspiration to protect privacy and personal data for an AirVPN founder throughout the years, inspiration that is one of the leading AirVPN creation reasons. https://www.altalex.com/documents/news/2010/03/24/caso-peppermint-la-riservatezza-delle-comunicazioni-prevale-sul-diritto-d-autore Kind regards

The server doesn´t appear to be very popular but I wouldn´t want it to disappear completely.

This thread should be soon moved to Off-topic. There are no "class action" or "reverse class action" or any classy actions that can be enforced on you, when you use a VPN correctly. And this is not only limited to AirVPN but to all VPN providers who at least claim not to keep logs. The only action a real VPN provider will respond to such copyright requests is a "reverse cowgirl" statement. Technically, when you use torrent software over a VPN tunnel correctly (i.e. no leaks and no one-offs without VPN) your traffic is being fully encrypted by the VPN tunnel, and there are no known counter measures to determine which user was behind the VPN server. And a log-less VPN provider will forward all the DMCA requests to a special location in Unix systems called /dev/null. Or if to be more polite, a statement that the server behind this IP serves thousands of users. Actually, one of the reasons "good" VPN providers have locations in countries like U.S. is a pre-agreed "quota" of abuse complaints regarding DMCA, where both the data-center and the leasing entity (AirVPN in this case) both know that the servers are going to be offered to the public, where a possible violation of "copyrights" may occur on some specific manners. Of course, if you want to help Air with the mission - please avoid illegal Torrent activity from U.S. servers. This a request, not a demand. The way to do it right is to produce actual, non-logged activity, such as - this month the server ran 500TB of data, out of it was only 1% of copyrighted one - where it is somewhat acceptable. As I mentioned earlier this week - the more abuse (DMCA) complaints some datacenters will receive, the less likelihood the datacenter will want to provide upstream to providers like AirVPN. So the less complaints you, as a community, can generate, the more freedom you and other users can have in the future. Rarely any VPN provider will cooperate with such copyright trolls, because it will basically mean a public statement that they cannot protect their users privacy. Since I'm not a lawyer probably Staff (Paolo) can share the official legal terms.

Hello! Absolutely not. For several reasons, including: It's probably not harmonious with AirVPNs mission to make the Web as free as possible for users to experience, both good and bad. It's outside the purview of what a VPN is supposed to do. If users can't reasonably secure their own computers/browsers, then a VPN will be useless for them anyway. It adds another layer of complexity. Besides mainly being a marketing ploy, used by some of AirVPNs competitors, to give the impression of higher security and privacy. It's simply unnecessary and undesirable, for what is probably the majority of AirVPNs userbase, as such people can easily and would rather control this themselves. It's sort of a stated design goal for Eddie, that it isn't filled with any bloatware.Fortunately, nothing prevents you from installing something precisely like Ublock Origin, ticking off a few desired blocking lists and being on your merry way. Thank you for sharing your thoughts however. As this topic has appeared a few times before, I think it's fair to lock this thread.

Hello! A plausible explanation is that some AOL IP address "geo-location" database has been compiled to wrongly have Gliese exit-IP address in Germany. Kind regards

Thanks guys, signed-up for another to years. Wish everything on this planet was as trustworthy and reliable as you are.

Spewin - missed it by that much. Other side of the world renewed literally hours before the sale - will mark the calendar for next year.

I tried to use Qubes yesterday, but apparently my HP Z600 is not compatible. Oh well, Fedora it remains!

Updated to reflect changes on 03-Aug-18 (previously, access was blocked from most servers).

Hi there. I have been thinking of dabbling with Qubes and also Whonix. This short explanation is very helpful. T

Thank you.

I think I saw that error some time ago, when I was using 1 year or more old certificates for AirVPN. Did you upgrade your DSM to latest 6+ version? Did you get new certificates and ovpn file from airvpn? Be sure to imput them at correct place. Is your AirVPN membership active? If you are using DSM <6 (5.2, 5.1, 5.0, 4...) then you need to ssh and copy certificates and keys manually. Just delete VPN from Synology interface, try restart, and do everything from beginning. I see what you mean. That never happened to me. Script always starts VPN if it's not started, but I managed to reproduce it by just using those variables in script, without anything else. Thank you for find, I just moved those variables further down to one of IFs, so they will be called only when VPN is up for sure. Hope that solves it for you also.

Hello! We're very glad to inform you that a new 1 Gbit/s server located in São Paulo, BR, is available: Peony. Peony is our first server in South America and we are very proud to start operating there. Special thanks go to out moderator Zhang who helped us find a datacenter with particularly good connectivity The AirVPN client will show automatically the new server. If you use the OpenVPN client you can generate all the files to access it through our configuration/certificates/key generator (menu "Client Area"->"Config generator"). The server accepts connections on ports 53, 80, 443, 1194, 2018 UDP and TCP. Just like every other "second generation" Air server, Peony supports OpenVPN over SSL and OpenVPN over SSH, TLS 1.2 and tls-crypt. Full IPv6 support is included as well. As usual no traffic limits, no logs, no discrimination on protocols and hardened security against various attacks with separate entry and exit-IP addresses. You can check the server status as usual in our real time servers monitor: https://airvpn.org/servers/peony Do not hesitate to contact us for any information or issue. Kind regards and datalove AirVPN Team

Although tbe installation of a server in Brazil is good news for me personally, I am worried that it will soon be dropped for the same reasons that you discontinued your Italian servers. Many of the local magistrates here are just as corrupt, intellectually lazy and/or incompetent as their Italian counterparts. I say this as an attorney at law.

Take a look at 3rd point in my tutorial. After you do that, you need to forward ports on your router, but if that worked before, I guess you already forwarded your ports. Then you only need to connect to your REAL IP (IP given by your ISP), not AirVPN IP address and it will work.

Yes, this happens to me also, but I didn't notice it until now since I almost never reboot my NAS, and I have reconnect script which detects that VPN isn't working and restart it. I think this is Synology VPN implementation bug, it should be reported to them. Hopefully they can fix it in new updates.
