Hello! We're very glad to inform you that a new stable release of Eddie is now available for Linux (various ARM based architectures included), Mac, Windows. Eddie is a free and open source (GPLv3) OpenVPN GUI and CLI by AirVPN with many additional features such as: traffic leaks prevention via packet filtering rules DNS handling optional connections over Tor or a generic proxy customizable events traffic splitting on a destination IP address or host name basis complete and swift integration with AirVPN infrastructure white and black lists of VPN servers ability to support IPv4, IPv6 and IPv6 over IPv4 What's new in Eddie 2.20.0 [change] [all] OpenVPN 2.5.1 [change] [all] New default setting - Networking -> Switch to 'Block' if issue is detected, new default value: True [bugfix] [Windows 32bit] - Error at startup (released as a hotfix in 2.19.7 stable) [bugfix] [all] "Failed to compare two elements in the array" [bugfix] [all] Using OpenVPN provider other than AirVPN [bugfix] [all] IPv6 in manifest/bootstrap [bugfix] [Linux] Elevation failure on Ubuntu on some arm64/aarch64 architecture Eddie GUI and CLI now run with normal user privileges, while only a "backend" binary, which communicates with the user interface with authentication, gains root/administrator privileges, with important security safeguards in place: stricter parsing is enforced before passing a profile to OpenVPN in order to block insecure OpenVPN directives external system binaries which need superuser privileges (examples: openvpn, iptables, hummingbird) will not be launched if they do not belong to a superuser Eddie events are no more run with superuser privileges: instead of trusting blindly user's responsibility and care when dealing with events, now the user is required to explicitly operate to run something with high privileges, if necessary Backend binary is written in C++ on all systems (Windows included), making the whole application faster. Settings, certificates and keys of your account stored on your mass storage can optionally be encrypted on all systems either with a Master Password or in a system key-chain if available. Eddie 2.20.0 can be downloaded here: https://airvpn.org/linux - Linux version https://airvpn.org/macos - Mac version https://airvpn.org/windows - Windows version Eddie is free and open source software released under GPLv3.

I had no idea the system report was redundant. I always include both. You learn something every day!

Running great as usual on Big Sur/Intel here!

It's just a "dumb" OpenVPN client you can use with any OpenVPN server out there. This means in particular that there are no network locks, kill switches or something like that.

Seems to load way faster than the previous version, for whatever reason. No problems here on Mojave!

Enchanted netherite armor, straight outta hell. Cut the salt, please. You too, Mr. go558a83nk. Yes. To get the tls-crypt address, use nl3.vpn.airdns.org. For more DNS tricks, refer to the server IP FAQ entry. I too believe this to be the reason why it doesn't seem to work, give it a try.

No, the problem is with you unable to follow directions. In the tutorial, the first directive in the "generate AirVPN certificates" section is to enable advanced mode. Have you turned on advanced mode in the config generator?

The guide is for a tls-crypt setup where those settings are what work. What you're missing is that you need to connect to an entry IP 3 or 4. The guide actually says " please double check you select an appropriate ‘tls-crypt, tls1.2’ end point. This is a common source of problems."

So it appears that mullvad has run out of ports for client port forwarding. https://mullvad.net/en/blog/2021/2/10/unfortunate-port-shortage/ What will be Air's position when it finally happens here?

Thanks for the reply, Giganerd. I am using The BitTorrent client. Torrent Address Detection used to work fine when I last used BitTorrent about 6 months ago. The BitTorrent client on my Mac wasn't changed since then. I have no problems downloading any torrents using this BitTorrent. Only, when I start the Address Detection magnet I get "Connection closed by peer" for the tracker status. What does that mean? (IPv6 is Off in my network setting, and ipleak.net says "IPv6 test not reachable".) I'm using BitTorrent version 7.4.3. (On an aside, the client says 7.8.0 is available. But their website has No mention of it!) I tried the Transmission client. The Address Detection works fine! Maybe now I'll try updating BitTorrent to 7.8.0. - or uTorrent.
