Hello! We're glad to introduce a new feature in AirVPN infrastructure: DNS block lists. By default, AirVPN DNS remains neutral in accordance with our mission. However, from now on you have the option to enforce block lists which poison our DNS, in order, for example, to block known sources of ads, spam, malware and so on. You can manage your preferences in your account Client Area ⇨ DNS panel https://airvpn.org/dns/. We offer only lists released with licenses which grant re-distribution for business purposes too. The system is very flexible and offers some exclusive features never seen before in other VPN services: You can activate or de-activate, anytime, any combination of lists. You can add customized exceptions and/or additional blocks. Any specified domain which must be blocked includes all of its subdomains too. Lists which can return custom A,AAAA,CNAME,TXT records are supported. You can define any combination of block lists and/or exceptions and/or additions for your whole account or only for specific certificate/key pairs of your account (Client Area ⇨ Devices ⇨ Details ⇨ DNS) Different matching methods are available for your additions and exceptions: Exact (exact FQDN), Domain (domain and its subdomains), Wildcard (with * and ? as wildcards), Contain, Start with, End with. An API to fetch every and each list in different formats (see Client Area ⇨ API ⇨ dns_lists service) is active Any change in your selected list(s), any added exception and any added block is enforced very quickly, within few tens of seconds. You don't need to disconnect and re-connect your account. You can define your own lists and discuss lists and anything related in the community forum here Essential requisite to enjoy the service is, of course, querying AirVPN DNS while your system is connected to some VPN server, which is by the way a default setup if you run any of our software.

Yes, I can confirm, it solved the problems. The deleted .plist files are recreated on restart automatically, but I am sure you already know that. However, I also made a few other fine tunings: 1: I changed the Desktop from my own pictures to the Apple desktop background. Monterrey OS seemed to want to log me off at random otherwise. 2: I noticed I would get locked up when running another Mac with Tunnelblck (since that old MacPro Nehalem workhorse is too old for Eddie) and active data exchanges were ongoing, so I thought maybe my ISP was throttling the connection and changed Eddie beta protocols on my Macbook Air from Automatic to Port 80. No problems since then. Of course, Monterrey seems buggy and Apple is not as nimble and responsive a corporation as they once used to be, so I expect I will be continuing the fine tuning.

Yea, just added 3 years - cool! Thanks!

Really thrilled with the wireguard speed. That's me on Mensa. https://i.gyazo.com/277f20acfb21cea8c41a8db164713063.png

Hello! We're glad to inform you that, from now on, every account can establish up to five simultaneous connections to AirVPN servers. As usual, no restrictions will be applied on IP addresses. No price increase has been planned for this new feature. We're confident that allowing 5 connections per account at the very same price will meet and even exceed the expectations of our customers. Please do not hesitate to contact us for any further information. Kind regards & datalove AirVPN Staff

Hello! We're very glad to announce that, in compliance with its mission, AirVPN proudly supports WikiLeaks https://wikileaks.org in 2021 too, with a 0.32577602 BTC donation, around 20,000 USD at the moment of the transaction. WikiLeaks is an international non-profit organization that publishes news leaks and classified media provided by anonymous sources. Since 2006, the group has released a huge amount of documents of paramount importance and public interest, with an outstanding 100% accuracy so far, which deeply changed our vision and knowledge of the world. https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/527abecb9e8959556fd01cba66b45890a71f643eddff3cb1d6f9d4ffd39dc15b AirVPN's mission: https://airvpn.org/mission Kind regards & datalove AirVPN Staff

What he means is if AirVPN were to offer SOCKS proxy servers as a separate service in addition to the VPN. This would be useful for clients who only need the service on an application-level basis. It could also be useful for bypassing certain geo-location restrictions while remaining connected to a particular VPN server. For example, let's say you are downloading a torrent via the NL server but want to visit a US-only site at the same time. Normally you'd have to stop what you're doing, log out of the VPN and change servers, but in this case you could just change the browser's proxy settings and do both simultaneously. You could also make the argument that chaining a VPN + SOCKS proxy could (theoretically) enhance your anonymity by creating multi-jurisdictional hops, although in this case it's somewhat irrelevant since both services would be under the administration of the same provider (AirVPN) anyway. Of course, a proxy (by itself) doesn't encrypt traffic like a VPN does, so it's not really as good from a privacy standpoint. Also, there's a potential security issue because client authentication data (usernames and passwords) would have to be stored on EACH proxy-hosting server, as opposed to OpenVPN which only needs one central authentication server for storing users' login credentials. Still, it is a good idea -- one that has already been implemented by a handful of competitors in the VPN space, so it might be something for AirVPN to consider as a value-added service.
