Hello! Today we're starting AirVPN twelfth birthday celebrations offering special, strong discounts on longer term plans. From a two servers service located in a single country providing a handful of Mbit/s, the baby has grown up to a wide infrastructure in 23 countries in four continents, providing now 240,000+ Mbit/s to tens of thousands of people around the world. We still define it as a "baby", but AirVPN is now the oldest VPN in the market which never changed ownership, and it's one of the last that still puts ethics well over profit, a philosophy which has been rewarded by customers and users. During the last year, AirVPN added important features, even according to customers requests: integrated and full WireGuard support on all VPN servers optional lists selection to block spam, ads, trackers and other malicious sources, featuring a unique and fine grained customization which is exclusive on the nowadays market improved inbound remote port forwarding interface and implementation The infrastructure saw a robust power up in Tokyo, where we have now 14000 Mbit/s available (7000 Mbit/s full duplex), with more powerful hardware, and a small addition in Ireland. The VPN servers and the back service ones have had some minor security improvements as well as ordinary system updates as usual. Optimized software, and also WireGuard implementation, allowed our server to deliver high performance more smoothly, thanks to the improved balancing between threads and of course the good WireGuard scalability. On the software side, all AirVPN applications and libraries are still free and open source software released under GPLv3. WirteGuard has been fully integrated in the Desktop edition of Eddie, while Eddie Android edition will support it in the next version which is imminent (a public alpha release will be ready in June). All the applications are continuously developed and updated to provide an even better experience and performance. Kind regards and datalove AirVPN Staff 

Thank you Happy Birthday ans got me some more time

@EclecticFish @BlueBanana fixed, please perform an "apt-get update" or re-download the .deb.

With all due respect for an old time customer like you, comparing AirVPN with ExpressVPN is an insult we can't accept. ExpressVPN has always been perfectly aware that one of its executives was an American intelligence operative who helped UAE human rights hostile government in cracking operations. We do agree with Edward Snowden when he says that you must not use ExpressVPN. Incidentally, ExpressVPN is now part of a big group that, throughout the past decade, was an adware based business with shady privacy practices.

In addition to our monthly support to OONI (listed in Friends and Sponsors footer) and our relay nodes Coral and Violet, our friend John Ricketts (@aquintex) built 20 exit-nodes with a potential 2 Gbit/s bandwidth. This month we started to help funding John's initiative, with a recurring monthly donation of 500€. Its consensus grows quickly: https://www.quintex.com/torgraph.html. A great congratulation to John for his effort to the Tor (and net neutrality) mission.
