Funny marketing fluff. Since AirVPN birth we allow multi-hop connections (opt-in) between different VPN servers, between VPN servers and SOCKS or HTTPS proxies, or (better solution) between VPN servers and Tor nodes. Safer and better than marketing fluff. HOWEVER, it must be known that there are some errors in the article you linked. It mixes at least two totally different attack types and makes a lot of confusion. Timing attacks can be performed anyway even on Tor network (in any low latency mix based protocol network, in general) given an adversary with enough power to monitor vast portions of the Internet., so the general analysis provided by the article is... imaginative, to say the least. Kind regards

@laowai Hello! We're very glad you can confirm the outcome of our tests as well as reports by AirVPN users, also published in this thread. Great! Our roadmap includes availability of OpenVPN 3.3 AirVPN binary, with some client side nice additions to make the experience more comfortable. in the following systems: Linux (binaries for both x86 and ARM processors) during August 2019 FreeBSD OpenBSD in the above order. Desktop systems with AES-NI full support decrease performance with ChaCha20 encryption/decryption when compared to AES-GCM, so ChaCha20 will not be a favorite choice by those users who already enjoy AES-NI. Therefore: our priority is releasing binaries which will be particularly useful in ARM based devices, which typically run on Linux or *BSD. ChaCha20 might perhaps provide higher performance (than AES-GCM with AES-NI), with coming (in the near future) CPUs featuring AVX512, it will be interesting to test. Additionally, in desktop systems you can already run OpenVPN 2.5 beta which supports ChaCha20 on the Data Channel, while on some embedded devices building OpenVPN 2.5 may be out of the ability of the average user. You can even integrate OpenVPN 2.5 beta in Eddie desktop editions, as Eddie can be configured to use any OpenVPN binary file in "Preferences" > "Advanced" > "OpenVPN Custom Path". You then need to add the following custom directives: ncp-disable cipher CHACHA20-POLY1305 in "Preferences" > "OVPN directives", and finally connect to one of our experimental servers. By using Wireguard on Android devices, you already have roughly the same battery life you experience with Eddie Android edition which uses OpenVPN 3.3 AirVPN linked against mbedTLS, on equal terms (same bandwidth, traffic, etc.). Please feel free to report back if you experience some discrepancy, i.e. if you see longer battery life with Wireguard. Anyway we are following Wireguard closely. Currently we need a couple of new, key features, which will probably be implemented before a stable version is released, as developers told us. Without them, implementation in our systems is too problematic. For example, linking static IP addresses to client keys is a heavy threat to privacy, for the reasons we explained in another thread; and lack of TCP support would cut out a remarkable amount of our customers, whose ISPs disrupt UDP. Kind regards

Hello! The datacenter operations might be impaired by the charges against the datacenter management issued on last June and related to crimes allegedly committed in 2012: https://www.cp24.com/news/owners-of-toronto-web-hosting-company-charged-in-massive-child-pornography-bust-1.4474497 Although our VPN servers in that datacenter have still IPv4 connectivity, only on some IP addresses, we can't of course count on them reliably. We are therefore shutting them down. Infrastructure in Canada remains with 31 servers capable of 1 Gbit/s bandwidth each, which provide wide redundancy, and we will anyway enlarge it whenever necessary. Kind regards

Hello! Eddie Android Edition 1.0 RC5 has been ported and rewritten in Java. No more Mono. It has been released just a few minutes ago, i.e a few hours after you wrote the review. Never say that we don't think about you night and day! Thank you for the massively favorable review, we will keep doing our best to deliver a 1st class service within, strictly within, the boundaries of our mission. Kind regards and datalove AirVPN Staff
