You can download Eddie Android 3.0 RC 1 APK directly from our repository or from the Google Play Store: https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/29660-using-airvpn-with-eddie-client-for-android/ Please note that Eddie 3.0 is not yet available on the Amazon Store. It should be updated in a few business days. To those who will decide testing: thank you so much! Please report any bug and problem in this thread. If possible generate a report from the app. You will find a new feature: by tapping the arrow icon on the Log view bar rightmost side you will generate a full system report which will include both log and logcat and have it sent to our servers. Then you just need to send us the link the app shows you (open a ticket if you prefer to do it in private). Important: if you run Android 8 or higher version, we strongly recommend that you activate Always on VPN and Block connection without VPN (aka VPN Lockdown) from Android advanced per app VPN settings That's the most secure method to prevent traffic leaks in various circumstances. If you run Android 7 or older versions and you set Eddie to connect through WireGuard, a best effort is made to prevent leaks, but it may not be as effective as Android 8 and higher versions mentioned settings. Finally, keep in mind that Android TV suffered the Always On VPN feature amputation, therefore Eddie start & connection at bootstrap are not possible from Android TV 10 and higher versions. Older versions can still run Eddie during the bootstrap and have it connected. Furthermore, a totally effective leaks prevention is hindered when you use WireGuard on Android TV, although Eddie will always perform a best effort to prevent them.

Hello! Yes, probably that's a good solution. We should maintain the VPN DNS address matching the VPN gateway address (to neutralize as usual the infamous and dangerous route hijack attack) and then internally perform the routing which is necessary. In this way we would save one of the most exclusive AirVPN features and at the same time achieve the purpose to untie the DNS servers from VPN servers. Kind regards

Hi, the apps i experienced issues with are LAZADA and Signal as well as tutanota and protonmail. Im not exactly sure how to get the domain name for the services. The servers which I noticed issues are Antares, Lacaille, Struve, Taphao, Bharani, Biham, Fleed, Okab and Albaldah which are the servers I regularly use. Hello! Thank you for the information. At the moment we tested only ProtonMail and it works, but now that we have a server list we will perform additional test, even with those other apps you mention. In the meantime, can you please tell us whether, from the same VPN server, those apps: work or not when you switch connection to OpenVPN3-AirVPN (to do so just tap the "OpenVPN/WireGuard" switch on Eddie's connection views and make sure that it's set to OpenVPN, then start a new connection) work or not when you connect through the wg app available on the Play Store Kind regards

I did further test and finally the issue is not due to the reboot, but a setting I was activating after the reboot, which is "Exclude local network from the VPN". as soon as this option is activated, the traffic will not go through the VPN Tunnel anymore

I opened a ticket and sent the log results. thanks

@delta313 Thank you very much for your tests! Where can we find the report generated just after the problem has occurred? You will find a new feature: by tapping the arrow icon on the Log view bar rightmost side you will generate a full system report which will include both log and logcat and have it sent to our servers. Then you just need to send us the link the app will show you (open a ticket if you prefer to do it in private). Kind regards

I tried Eddie release 3 alpha with the Wireguard configuration on google TV (android TV 10), and it works properly the first time the app is installed but if I reboot the TV and re-establish the VPN tunnel, the traffic is no longer routed through the tunnel, although Eddie says I am connected. To get it to work again I need to uninstall and reinstall the app. if I use Eddie 3 but with the OpenVPN configuration, I don't have the issue mentioned above, it continues to work after a reboot. The reason I tried Eddie release 3 with WireGuard was to try to resolve a long standing issue with accessing my local network servers when the VPN is activated, I could never get it to work properly even though the local network option is activated and I can see the exclude Routes 192.168.1.0/24 is set properly in the log, I also tried to install the standalone Wireguard android app using the exported Wireguard config file from Eddie. The app is very basic but it works, the traffic is routed properly every time even after a reboot, but I still don't have access to my local network. I even tried to update the AllowedIPs setting in the wireguard config file using the Wireguard IP calculator bellow but no luck, the settings is ignored by the app. https://www.procustodibus.com/blog/2021/03/wireguard-allowedips-calculator/

Hello! Fire OS is based on Android and features slim differences from Android TV. Lack of Always on VPN option is common. You can therefore enable "VPN Lock" in Eddie settings and use OpenVPN to have a robust leaks prevention. In this way when a connection is lost the device will not communicate with the Internet and you have all the time to stop apps and then re-start the connection manually. A second option: you may enable automatic re.-connection and even use WireGuard. If a connection is lost WireGuard will keep the device locked for a while, and then Eddie will re-connect as soon as possible. WireGuard connections are very fast but anyway during the re-connection phase leaks are possible. Kind regards

Can you comment on fire tv so and if where we can find the settings to prevent leaks?
