Hello! Today we're starting AirVPN ninth birthday celebrations! From a two servers service located in a single country providing a handful of Mbit/s, the baby has grown up to a wide infrastructure in 22 countries in three continents, providing now 230,000+ Mbit/s to tens of thousands of people around the world. Software related development has also been powered up. Eddie Android edition is now a fully mature application which features an exclusive best effort method to prevent traffic leaks and a complete integration with AirVPN. In 2019 AirVPN has also started operating in South America, on top of Asia, Europe and North America, and the infrastructure has grown significantly, counting now on more than 260 bare metal servers, whose traffic is mainly powered by tier1 and tier2 transit providers. AirVPN has also become recently an EFF "Super Major Donor" member. Furthermore, and we're very glad to announce it here publicly for the first time, development for OpenBSD and FreeBSD has started. We are also integrating OpenVPN 3 on new software which will couple Eddie on UNIX-like systems, including Linux, during the second half of 2019. GDPR compliance was already a de facto standard for AirVPN way before the Regulation entered into force, mainly because we don't collect personal data, period. By the way the compliance is now fully formalized (check details in our Privacy Notice and Terms https://airvpn.org/privacy ). AirVPN provides probably the strongest protection to your data, not only personal data but all data, you can find on any service. If you are an AirVPN customer or user, you are probably aware that our service is radically different than any other VPN service you might have met anywhere. No whistles and bells, no marketing fluff, no fake locations, no advertising on mainstream media, a transparent privacy policy, no trackers on the web site or in mobile applications, no bullshit of any kind in our infrastructure to sell your personal data to any personal data merchant, and above all a clear mission which is the very reason which AirVPN operates for. https://airvpn.org/mission Many of you know that when you buy AirVPN service, you not only support yourself and improve your ability to exercise your fundamental rights, but you also support AirVPN mission. However, while AirVPN in itself has flourished, AirVPN mission aims and values related to fundamental rights have experienced, in 2018 and 2019, a grim time. Australia "encryption-busting" monstrous law is fully in force; the European Union has definitively approved the bad Copyright Directive, mandating automated filters, which will unavoidably limit freedom of expression on big boards, and making the first step to undermine the liability exemptions of mere conduits and web publishers alike; new threats to citizens' privacy are becoming real through plans of wide face recognition deployment, indiscriminate DNA databases proposals, more pervasive and efficient profiling (possibly even through AI), and strict cooperation between Internet tech giants and intelligence agencies; the persecution of journalists, publishers and whistleblowers all around the world has reached unprecedented levels, revealing a widespread plan to suppress freedom of the press and freedom of expression even in so called "Western democracies". One of the greatest journalists and publishers of all times, Julian Assange, nominated seven times for the Nobel Peace prize and winner of many journalistic prizes and awards, has been and is prosecuted and persecuted for having merely published the truth about war crimes, corruption, torture and more, with a 100% accuracy, and for having protected his sources as any good investigative journalist does. He has been detained arbitrarily and illegally, as widely ascertained and recognized by the UN. He has been victim of an abominable smear campaign based on ignominious lies and defamation, a campaign aimed to turn the public opinion against him and distract from WikiLeaks publications content exposing war criminals in governments key positions, warmongers, torture maniacs, systematic illegal surveillance, endemic privacy violations and plots to limit and reduce fundamental rights. He is currently detained in solitary confinement 23 hours a day, with no access to books, maximum two visits per month, forbidden in practice to coordinate a defense with his lawyers, in a tiny cell of a maximum security UK prison which has been designed for dangerous murderers and terrorists, while UK will decide whether to extradite him to the USA to face a potential 175 years imprisonment. Whistleblowers like Chelsea Manning, who should be regarded as a hero, as Noam Chomsky, John Pilger, Daniel Ellsberg and other titans of our times pointed out, have been tortured and are still persecuted by the very same criminals whose crimes were exposed. Privacy activists and software developers, like Ola Bini in Ecuador, are imprisoned without charges, simply for having showed friendship to Assange or WikiLeaks, or for having developed software aimed to protect privacy through encryption. And the list can go on and on and on. But make no mistake: the dark times we are living in, the environment of fear and intimidation that various governments are building against the exercise of those fundamental rights which our mission forces us to protect to the best of our abilities, the mounting attacks against "encryption for everyone" and the awareness that enemies of human rights nestle inside government agencies, have not undermined our determination. Quite the opposite: they have convinced us that our service is even more necessary now and we are resolute to do even more. Our mission has been and will be empowered by the ongoing support to projects and NGOs which aim to the protection of privacy, personal data and freedom of expression, now more than ever. We have confirmed our support to Tor and we will progressively add support to champions of freedom of expression and privacy in any way our capacities and abilities will allow us. If you're curious to know something about a series of fortunate events which gave birth to AirVPN, have a look here: https://airvpn.org/aboutus To worthily celebrate AirVPN ninth birthday, we're glad to inform you that starting from now we will offer a 20% discount on all long term plans. Hurry up, this special offer will end on June the 11th, 23:59:59 UTC! Check the new prices here. Kind regards and datalove AirVPN Staff

Hello! We're very glad to inform you that twelve new 1 Gbit/s servers located in Alblasserdam (Netherlands) are available: Aljanah, Alpheratz, Aspidiske, Capella, Eltanin, Larawag, Melnick, Muhlifain, Piscium, Scuti, Suhail, Tiaki. The AirVPN client will show automatically the new servers. If you use the OpenVPN client you can generate all the files to access them through our configuration/certificates/key generator (menu "Client Area"->"Config generator"). The servers accept connections on ports 53, 80, 443, 1194, 2018 UDP and TCP. Just like every other "second generation" Air server, they support 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. Do not hesitate to contact us for any information or issue. Kind regards and datalove AirVPN Team

thanks Airvpn, but i am good for 2705 day's. See you at the next happy b day.

Happy Birthday AirVpn. Wishing you's all the best. Totally forgot about the sale. Wont forget about the others 🎂 🥂

Popular crypto trading site www.binance.com is blocking AirVPN addresses.

Happy birthday dear AirVPN

Hello! I note the change: So everything below the 1 year plans, do not get the discount anymore. It's still weird to me, that the birthday celebrations still aren't the ones with the biggest and widest discounts. Seems more worthy to me . Happy birthday.

Happy Birthday!!! Keep up the good work You guys are doing an amazing job

Hello! We're very glad to know that the problem has been resolved! Your suggestion is good and we will consider it seriously. With Microsoft, Eddie already implements various fixes (on the tun/tap interface, on global DNS missing implementation on all Windows systems, and even on the "new" crazy DNS handling in Windows 10 after the "Creator" update), although mis-behaving for a bug of someone else is theoretically not the right way to follow and keeping up with all the Microsoft bugs is not so easy. Kind regards

Hello, I tried the suggested fix last night and I can happily say that it works as expected, OneNote, Word, Windows Store now all work properly! It was a very easy fix and I have spent too much time trying to solve it. However I never noticed that the gateway was empty, I saw it but thought since its a TAP adapter it is how it should be...it seems I was wrong. This should be sticky somewhere. I can't thank you enough! As a development suggestion I would say it would be a nice addition to Eddie to auto populate the gateway of the TAP adapter with the gateway of your normal ethernet adapter if its empty. And probably have an app setting to let users override or disable that functionality. That way it will be auto resolved for most users with no technical knowledge. Cheers!

That's what betas are for, to iron out issues. If it was a big concern, stir clear of betas Thanks for the update. Update: v2.13.5 [beta] confirmed working on my Win 10 Pro 64bit.

As requested by "Clodo" debug log is attached, Eddie 2.13.x beta (version 1, 2 and 3) always gets stuck at "Checking Environment" in Mac Sierra 10.12.5 and 10.12.6 in the log file it corresponds to "session starting.", waiting (even more than 10 minutes) does not resolve the issue (still stuck at "checking environment") or add any more lines to the log file. Thanks! eddie_2017-08-02.log.zip

I can not find "Advanced > Force all network interface" enabled. bug.tiff

I had the same error in the begin but when I select direct udp during making the confige files. and imported it again. Then it will connect well. I just wonder if I have to do more steps before I can use Sonarr for example.

Thanks, Mikeyy

I'm afraid you have same problem as kiwi in this post. This is Synology bug and I reported it to them so hopefully they will fix it. Just manualy disconnect and connect again.

Oh maybe there's a better way. When I ran the script the first time, the vpn was disconnected and the script would just hang. Took me a bit of time to debug it to find the UPTIME=... the culprit. At the very least, if IPADDR isn't set the script should log it and exit since otherwise it just hangs (since the grep is waiting for stdin if IPADDR is empty).

ROCK ON!

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

@kaymio Our assigned ULAs are in fde6:7a:7d20::/48 which is inside the range officially reserved to ULA so we don't understand why a browser should discriminate against them in favor of a local IPv4 address... Kind regards

I wonder if, this being a public forum, it would be best not to discuss this? Literally asking for trouble? Think about how BBC might determine exit IP addresses of hidden "Routing" servers. They probably have a membership here and most VPN providers. @staff feel free to delete this post if you wish no offence taken.

FINALLY. what a clear guide. thanks a lot!! It works
