Hello! We're very glad to inform you that a new Eddie Air client version has been released: 2.21 beta. It is ready for public beta testing. How to test our experimental release: Go to download page of your OS Click on Other versions Click on Experimental Look at the changelog if you wish Download and install Please see the changelog: https://eddie.website/changelog/?software=client&format=html This version contains an almost completely rewritten code for routes management, DNS and more, so please report any difference from the latest stable release 2.20. This version implements WireGuard support. AirVPN servers will offer it, during an opt-in beta-testing phase, within September. WireGuard support is expected to work out-of-the-box (no need to install anything else but Eddie) in Windows and macOS. In Linux it works if kernel supports it (WG support by kernel is required). PLEASE CONSIDER THIS AS A BETA VERSION. Don't use it for real connections it's only for those who want to collaborate to the project as beta-testers.

WireGuard support is welcomed, but how will the privacy issues of the WG server daemon be handled, namely, the static assignment of internal IP addresses? Will AirVPN use a dynamic WG https://git.zx2c4.com/wg-dynamic/about/docs/idea.md? If not, how is AirVPN able to offer similar level of privacy for customers using WireGuard as for those using OpenVPN? How about obfuscation of WireGuard packets? Are you planning to include a self-made patch to hide the usage of WireGuard or do you trust to SSH and TLS tunneling?

I don't know what to write about... Everything's fine and I love AirVPN. Sounds cheesy but it is what it is. I've been using AirVPN for half a year. Many servers to choose from, very transparent from the user's point of view - something I value. Transparency about server status and an API (admittedly I haven't used it much). From reading the forums I grasped that AirVPN has very strict (legal) criteria for choosing server locations (countries), an approach that is unique across all providers I've seen so far. Yea placing servers in China wouldn't be the best idea or many other more "democratic" as a matter of fact which were ruled out. The config generator is awesome if you're not using their open source client Eddie (bonus points again!) - plenty of flexibility. Configs? Afaik there're some providers out there who still have user/password prompt on each connection, laughable. AirVPN not only properly makes use of certificates (that's how the server knows you are you without asking for credentials) and on top of that allows you to properly distribute different access keys across your devices (in case of theft etc). Lost a device? Revoke access to that single one and done! Port-forwarding support ALONG WITH Dynamic DNS is unparalleled. Sure an advanced user probably could create an ad-hoc DDNS solution for themself, but offering it along the VPN is ingenius. The servers are very stable, the stats currently show a user has been connected since January. I've read comments where other VPNs often force reconnects etc, that just sounds wild to me. Before AirVPN I've been on a private VPN server with 24/7 uptime and that's the quality of service I got used to and wouldn't want to downgrade from (looking at those other VPN providers) The AirVPN forums are a great source of information. The staff cannot be commended enough for responding to concerns and generally being here for discussion. @OpenSourcerer is a damn community hero, this place is unimaginable without him! I myself have contributed in one form or another and will continue to. As a side note to forums: AirVPN appears to have customized the forum software for privacy. I can't assess how far it goes (hopefully "enough"), and it's a far better choice than those completely relying on Reddit - undoubtedly a useful puppet of/for the certain government. The only problem I've had was with initial payment. I bought the 1 month plan and found no clear indications it was still active (because it is a PayPal recurring payment), so before the month expired I bought the 1 year plan. I was quite surprised to see a few days later my access days to have been extended by +31d - the automatic Paypal payment kicked in and I paid a single month extra. Though I like the service so much I decided not to bother with a refund (consider it a donation hehe). You need to login in Paypal to cancel those, I wish this was made clear/er. What's unclear to me was whether/how much info is retained on payment after all the transactions... but to grossly paraphrase an official response: use crypto. Just make sure your mug shot (photo) isn't connected to the coin wallet Roses are red, AirVPN's great.

I'm flattered to be directly mentioned with such high praise. Thank you for your kind words, though some would argue that it's not all roses with me, to which I agree. Be advised that the proper abbreviation for Dynamic DNS is actually DDNS. DynDNS is the trademark name for the DDNS service of Dyn, Inc. (now an Oracle company). It's quite a smart name, I admit. I'd like to mention that there is an AirVPN subreddit, though there's very little activity; I usually refer back to the forums, anyway, so maybe people see the sidebar and then register and ask their questions here instead. Rarely people ask here and there. Let me… enhance that. .

Use entry 3 ip address of servers which supports tls-crypt and choose udp proto along with chacha20-poly1305 cipher on arm devices (like phones) or aes-gcm on processors support aes-ni instructions. (Intel, AMD, ...) for a good mixture of speed & security. About video streaming services, unfortunately, AirVPN doesn't cover them. (Some of them may work. you should try urself)

@m1ster Hello! You can't build Hummingbird or the AirPVN Suite in FreeBSD because OpenVPN3 AirVPN library needs various modification for FreeBSD, you will not be able to even compile it at the moment. We have plans to port the AirVPN Suite to FreeBSD later this year, but first we need to adapt the library, which might be or not a trivial task, and we must release a new Eddie Android edition version before the summer is over. At the moment you only have the Linux binary compatibility mode option (try with Hummingbird, as Eddie will have too many complications due to Mono), and of course OpenVPN 2.5.2. Hummingbird and the Suite support and have always supported pf, the default FreeBSD firewall, but different directory tree and some other issue may cause trouble. https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/linuxemu/ Anyway we assure you that FreeBSD support improvement with native applications remains our goal for 2021. Our FreeBSD users are many (25% of our Windows customers, and 20% of our Linux customers, who are currently the absolute majority), not to mention the system outstanding superiority, so stay tuned. Kind regards
