Thanks, Basic and Extra will be included as soon as possible. "Full" is huge (>300k entries the wildcard version), we need to perform some stress test (ensure that it doesn't slow down resolution) before inclusion.

Dear Airvpn staff the problem has NOT occured ever since upgrading to the beta version. Thanks for the heads up! Stammi be'

I'd like to propose adding the (very popular) OISD Blocklist. This list is also used by other free DNS "Adblock" services like Adhole.org, AhaDNS.com, etc. OISD (https://oisd.nl/) OISD is a pre-filtered blocklist consisting of lots of other popular blocklists. Domains which do not resolve from these blocklists are filtered out on a daily basis. OISD is focusing on functionality and not overblocking. License: ? I couldn't find any licensing information on the website. Raw URL: https://dbl.oisd.nl/ or (alternatively) https://hosts.oisd.nl/

"I too am confused as to where and why the user's IP address is stored permantly. I understand that while connected to Air servers, the user IP address will be known. Why is this not purged from the Air after disconnect or server change?" Re why: The wireguard protocol itself has no notion of a "disconnect," and the server is always open to seeing more packets from a given peer (client in this case). Keeping the last known IP from which each peer communicates with the server radically speeds up incoming packet authentication, because if a packet arrives from a sender in the "last known" list, it's pretty obvious which public key to try first to test whether it's authentic. Air has worked around the issue nicely by deleting the last known IP after (currently) 3m during which the usual handshake packets have not arrived. The next packet that does arrive then has to be tested for authenticity against a large number of peer (users here) public keys. That carries a computational cost that Air kindly absorbs for the sake of our privacy in the comically unlikely case of some serious evildoer breaking into a datacenter and somehow siphoning off the contents of a running server's memory (IIRC they are diskless) for subsequent analysis. Summary: Air has made the saved public IP a nonissue in practical terms.

Thx. two years added

Hi, I know that this is a little unrelated to the original question but I thought it might help others who would like have IPv6 as the default when connected to AirVPN on Windows. I'm happy to delete this post if wanted. The link @OpenSourcerer mentioned (https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/25140-the-issue-your-browser-is-avoiding-ipv6) is available on the Wayback Machine at https://web.archive.org/web/20200410115828/https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/25140-the-issue-your-browser-is-avoiding-ipv6/ . On the original thread, Trimarvis said to run "netsh interface ipv6 set prefixpolicy fc00::/7 37 1 store=persistent" and when run in an elevated command prompt, all sites now connect via IPv6 by default if available. Full credit to Trimarvis. I spent way too much time trying to figure out how to get this working 😅

Hello! This is not an issue, so there's nothing to be sorted out for any user. Various apple.com subdomains, such as advertising.apple.com and banners.itunes.apple.com, are blocked by the "Ads & Trackers block list", which is a merge of public lists not compiled by us. Please remember that we do not add blocks by ourselves whatsoever. The blocks do not seem to affect Apple Store, though, as confirmed by other users at the moment. Please be aware, however, that Apple may block access to Apple Store from VPN and Tor. This happened already in the past, even to ProtonVPN, so we can't rule out that some of our servers are already blocked by the Apple Store. If you don't think that Apple advertising is advertising or anyway the list disturbs you, you should not enable this anti-ads list, or you can add exceptions. When you click "LIst", all the blocked domains are shown. Quickly search for "apple.com" and you will see immediately which subdomains are blocked. You can also propose some other block list against advertising which does not block advertising by Apple, if you can find one. Kind regards

Correct. It's in the nature of the internet's DNS system that these DDNS limitations cannot be made to simply disappear. It has nothing to do with Air's system in particular.
