I suppose you have already unlocked your internet connection, as the topic was started in 2020. By the way if anyone will look here, Eddie on macOS uses PF firewall for Network Lock. To disable it, open terminal and run: sudo /sbin/pfctl -d It will disable macOS firewall.

I will never trust Apple as long as I live. That's for many reasons over the years, but just as an example of why I hate them so much now... I have just wiped a Macbook Pro ready to sell it. I made my own bootable USB installer for Catalina. I booted to recovery volume, then formatted the internal SSD, competely wiped clean I then installed Catalina for the next owner. During the setup I decline all the crap, Siri, network setup etc. I actually ticked "this computer does not connect to the internet". Catalina finished installing and loaded up into the fresh account. I then see it wants to install updates. How? It isn't on the internet?! YES IT IS. It has turned on WiFi and connected to my WiFi WITH a very secure password. Now I am thinking, how the F*CK does it know the password to my wifi? Where did it store that info if I formatted the internal drive? What if the new user drove to my house and sat outside, he could F*CKING connect to MY wifi?! Someone blow up Apple, PLEASE!

@OpenSourcerer 1) Sure. That's where the kernel filtering table may save you, while a filtering method based on the API itself can't. Proof of concept to exploit the NetworkExtension exceptions exist since months it's not FUD. Of course future research might find even newer methods and Apple decision to cancel those exceptions might even be related to security considerations, more than customer's respect. But even without those possible exploits, the behavior has been highly criticized by many Apple customers and is rightly seen as not acceptable.. 2) Yes, it was a very risky move by Apple, and no surprise they have moved away from that after a few months. On top of that you need to consider all the other 50 apps which may expose your real IP address involuntarily to the other end, not necessarily Apple, which is always a very bad thing The expansion of the attack surface with such a decision was remarkably high. Kind regards

Hello, I wanted to offer my suggestion of potentially adding at least 2 servers to the northwest area of the United States, such as Seattle, Boise (which is a good center of the northwest), Las Vegas, or some other cities. I know that a few other VPN services offer servers in both Seattle and Las Vegas, and it would greatly benefit those of us in this area. Thank you

Sorry to bump an old thread, but is there any update to this? Pacific Northwest USA (Seattle and Portland in particular) would be ideal places for AirVPN to add a new server or three. I'm aware of the Vancouver servers, but having a US IP address from that region would be useful.

Whats wrong with the servers in California and Texas? Ping should only be 40-80ms there. Most days, yeah it's not too bad from California, but it's still not as good as it could be from Las Vegas, Portland, Boise, or Seattle, especially if you're someone who lives far in the northwest (like IN Seattle). All I'm saying is that perhaps it would be a good, viable option for them and their customers.
