It's been complained about in the forum the instructions on setting up a DD-WRT router with airvpn located at https://airvpn.org/ddwrt/?hl=ddwrt is out of date. For the DD-WRT release I use, the guide is indeed a little outdated, but comprehensible. Still, without warranty and strictly on your own responsibility you could try my guide below. I am unable to provide any support, but this guide hopefully can help someone. For this guide I presume you know what a kill switch is, you know how to set up all other parts of your DD-WRT router such as setting up DHCP for example, and you know how to log into your dd-wrt web interface. In the client area of the airvpn web site, create config files, here. Select any server location and port, it doesn't need to be the one you will use, you only need the certificates & keys. Make sure to tick "Advanced Mode", and tick "Separate certs/keys from .ovpn file", then generate and download the configuration files. Log into your DD-WRT router and ... Step 1. Navigate to the "Services" tab then select the "VPN" tab. Step 2. Select "Enable" under OpenVPN Client. Step 3. Configure the first part of the screen as per screenshot below, noting comments below the screenshot. In the "Server IP/Name" field, indicated by a red arrow, you can either enter a specific server IP ( how to find a specific server IP )substitute the "XX" with the ISO code of the country you wish to connect to (for example DE for Germany, NL for the Netherlands, BE for Belgium, etc.)substitute the "XX" with the continent name (america, asia, earth, europe respectively)leave the field completely empty IF you wish to use random servers from a selection you specify. In this case, make sure to follow step 5.In the "IP Address" field, indicated by a green arrow, you should put the default IP of your router ("gateway"). How to find your router address is beyond this tutorial. Step 4. To configure the second part of the screen we'll need copy-paste from the config files you generated earlier. As per screenshot below, noting comments below the screenshot. Using your favorite text editor Open up "ta.key" and copy all of the contents into the "TLS Auth Key" field. (green arrow)Open up the file "ca.crt" and copy all of the contents into the "CA Cert" field. (blue arrow)Open up the file "user.crt" and copy only and including "----- BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- to the end of ----- END CERTIFICATE----- " into the "Public Client Cert" field. (brown arrow)Open up "user.key" and copy all of the contents into the "Private Client Key" field. (red arrow)Step 5. And the yellow arrow "Additional Config" field ? If in Step 3 you left the "Server IP/Name" field empty because you would like to connect to airvpn servers in a relatively random fashion based on a select preset of countries and/or continents and/or specific servers, this step 5 is for you. Copy-paste and amend: remote-random remote XX.vpn.airdns.org 443 (substitute XX with country or continent as explained earlier) remote XX.vpn.airdns.org 443 (substitute XX with country or continent as explained earlier) remote XX.vpn.airdns.org 443 (substitute XX with country or continent as explained earlier) ... remote XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX 443 (substitute with specific server IP) remote XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX 443 (substitute with specific server IP) remote XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX 443 (substitute with specific server IP) ... resolv-retry infinite As an example, it should look something like: remote-random remote AT.vpn.airdns.org 443 remote BE.vpn.airdns.org 443 remote BG.vpn.airdns.org 443 remote CA.vpn.airdns.org 443 remote asia.vpn.airdns.org 443 remote 185.156.174.114 443 remote 185.189.112.10 443 remote 91.214.169.68 443 resolv-retry infinite Step 6. Click "Save" at the bottom of the page then "Apply Settings". It should work, but a reboot never hurts. NOTE ON KILL SWITCH The Kill Switch in the original instructions may work for you. They did not work for me regardless of correct TUN. I used the below kill switch which I found to be working for me, so I share it here. Go to the "Administration" tab then select the "Commands" tab.Copy the following firewall rules into the command windowWAN_IF="$(ip route | awk '/^default/{print $NF}')" iptables -I FORWARD -i br0 -o $WAN_IF -m state --state NEW -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited iptables -I FORWARD -i br0 -p tcp -o $WAN_IF -m state --state NEW -j REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset Click on "Save Firewall" NOTE ON DNS It's been said in the forums (not finding reference to link, search refuses "DNS") it is better to use the airvpn server IP as DNS server. On a DD-WRT router, this is hard to achieve if you do not connect to a specific pre-defined server (most users). 10.4.0.1, one of airvpn DNS, is the next best IP to use as DNS server. However ... I found through trial and error - so this is only my pitiful experience - that if you do not put 10.4.0.1 as primary DNS, DD-WRT will keep using your primary DNS regardless whether connected to airvpn or not. 10.4.0.1 is not accessible outside the VPN, so you need a secondary VPN from another provider, such as opennic, find them here . You will find this leads to occasional DNS fallback, leaks if you will, to the secondary/other DNS when 10.4.0.1 is slow or disfunctional. But, such a DNS leak is still through the airvpn server IP, your location should still be hidden. So I would recommend in the DD-WRT control panel section "Setup" - "Basic Setup" - "Network Address Server Settings (DHCP)" to set the primary DNS as 10.4.0.1 and the secondary and further DNS as other free DNS servers, such as those from OpenNIC.

Are folks here aware of this? https://www.internetsociety.org/news/press-releases/2019/ethos-capital-to-acquire-public-interest-registry-from-the-internet-society/ https://savedotorg.org/ I just heard the end of an interview on CBC radio with a former vice-president of ICANN who was saying this is a very bad thing. Internet Society is a non-profit organization that has done governance of the ".org" domain until now. And Ethos Capital is just what it sounds like. EDIT: The podcast of the radio show I listened to is here: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/thecurrent/the-current-for-nov-27-2019-1.5375027 The interview starts at about 23:00.

black friday -week-

As a former Heze/Persei user, I understand why they were removed, but also add my voice to suggesting to AirVPN that they open at least one more server near the Bay Area (Fremont or similar). Los Angeles and Fremont are in the same state in the US, but they are about 400 miles apart, and that has a noticeable effect on latency. Perhaps one more server can be added in the same location as Aquila? That way we have some redundancy option. Barring that I hope there is another data center provider in Northern California (San Jose/San Francisco/Fremont/Oakland/Sacramento) that meets AirVPN's requirements.
