Hello! We inform you that all of our VPN servers in Maidenhead will cease operations on 03 September 2021. They will be replaced by servers in London featuring more modern hardware. Unfortunately, both technical and non-technical reasons force us to leave the current dc in Maidenhead. Servers in London are anyway located just 40 Km from Maidenhead and they will be announced and available in the next days. The new machines will keep the same names in order to support the old FQDN used by OpenVPN client profiles. Since the datacenter seems to have put offline already a server before the natural expiration date, we could put the new servers online before the mentioned 03 September date. When new servers are turned on, older ones with the same name will be disconnected from the infrastructure. This thread will be updated, if necessary, accordingly. The replacement servers are five, while the replaced ones are six. That's because we might be adding in the future another datacenter in UK in a different location. Kind regards AirVPN Staff

Neither fully wrong nor fully correct. Eddie overrides all your iptables rules and uses its own exclusively. Before doing that the current ruleset is saved. This is reversed upon disengaging NetLock. There's no "alongside". Again, not fully wrong but not fully right, either. There's no "personal" firewall, so nothing is "yours", and there is no firewalling going on inside Eddie. That task is outsourced to something that is much closer to the system core than a user space program like Eddie and is therefore much more "stable": For you on Linux this would be iptables or nft, whichever is available. But yes, there are other rules active preventing connections which are not going to any AirVPN server. This on the other hand is fully correct. It'll be eight years on Aug 31. Guess I know my way around it a little.
