Since it is not very easy to use a VPN from countries like Iran a recorded a tutorial on how to use airvpn from these countries: https://usefulvid.com/bypass-the-persian-and-chinese-firewall-by-using-airvpn-with-ssl/ The videos are hosted on my website and on youtube. The reason is that it is not possible to access youtube from Iran. https://youtu.be/jl8I2-GQF94 It would be nice if you could share this with your friends in Iran, China, Turkey, Russia, UAE, Saudi Arabia and provide feedback if this method works. You can also download this video from my website to make it easier to share and spread the word. A video on how to use stunnel on android will follow and also published on this site. Update on 6.1.2018: The Video for Android is finally published: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwf5JI6t0TI For all who suffer from youtube censorship this is the link for you: https://usefulvid.com/bypass-the-persian-and-chinese-firewall-by-using-airvpn-with-ssl/ Second Video on the page

UPDATE : Finally I was able to fix it. I added the following line to my openvpn config file : redirect-gateway local This prevented openvpn to add static route for the machine stunnel was running at. Now I can have openvpn client and stunnel client on different machines on the same network. Connection from my iphone to stunnel was successful as well.

Thank you for the reply OpenSourcerer, should I open a request via Github to get this issue fixed?

Hello! You have already explanations in this very thread and it should be now clear that the problem is Google side. Contact Google! The more contacts they have showing them their error, the more likely they will fix it, although it's unlikely that Google fixes errors in its algorithms after human feedback On our side, we diligently have our addresses providers keep the IANA / ARIN etc. database records correct, as you can easily verify with whois. We don't have the power to fix Google errors. Locking the thread before we arrive to a stupidity overflow. Kind regards

To build on that, AES can even be found in ARM CPUs nowadays, especially those supporting aarch64. To answer Mr. Mas99's question about what the more secure cipher is, it's ChaCha20-Poly1305. For performance and, as written, with availability of AES instruction sets in CPUs, AES-256-GCM should be preferred. CBC should not be used. Compared to AES, ChaCha20 is more resilient against certain kinds of attacks. For example, AES can be attacked with a carefully built timing-based attack in software. Some cryptographically interesting characteristics of AES render it slightly more prone for collision attacks, too. ChaCha20 solves those problems at least. In the end, abusing this is still quite an ordeal, so AES is still a good choice. About CBC vs. GCM, both XOR ("randomize") the plaintext, but in different ways. CBC XORs the plaintext with the preceding cipherblock (hence the name Cipher Block Chaining) and encrypts that. An attacker would know the previous cipherblock, though, and the ciphertext depends on that data. GCM maintains something like a counter, an internal variable, and encrypts this, then XORs it with the plaintext. An attacker can't know this internal variable on which the ciphertext depends, therefore, GCM offers inherited security.

@OpenSourcerer I don't understand what you mean with "pay with your wallet by not paying Netflix". As I said its not just netflix, many websites block AirVPN IPs/VPNs in genral and its annoying to disconnect or connect through many servers till I find one who is working.

Hello! I thought it was time to try and collect some of the wisdom floating around and see if we can't create a single thread for solving some of the most common and annoying repeat-issues. So how about it ! I define "common problems" as: if I'm getting a deja-vu every third time I post . Staff will have broken the Matrix by this point. Each problem will have its own headline and then with any number of solution-oriented links appended underneath. For this reason, this grand list isn't final and is meant to be updated continually. Naturally, the higher the link number for a solution, the more obscure the solutions are probably getting. Warning: solutions aren't guaranteed.

Feel free to contribute with your own helpful links. The more feedback this thread gets, the quicker it can be improved and hopefully made useful.

The solution would be to disconnect from AirVPN, or better yet, pay with your wallet by not paying Netflix.
