Hello! We're very glad to inform you that a new 10 Gbit/s (full duplex) server located in Sofia (Bulgaria) is available: Wazn. With Wazn, AirVPN infrastructure can now offer 10 Gbit/s full duplex lines and servers in strategic locations all over Europe: Switzerland, the Netherlands, Sweden and Bulgaria, all of them with direct peering with a wide variety of providers and at least two tier2 transit providers. As WireGuard diffusion increases, such servers will be able to use more and more bandwidth, while the imminent OpenVPN DCO deployment on selected AirVPN servers will also provide for more scalability and performance. According to our tests (*) from Italy, the Netherlands, the United States and Germany (from both residential and business lines) and our statistics, in the countries with a presence AirVPN remains the fastest VPN for consumers in the world, both for available bandwidth and round trip times. We are confident that the progressive increase of CPU power and available bandwidth, together with our usual commitment against overselling, will further widen the gap. (*) Tests performed from tier1 providers such as Telecom Italia Sparkle or "near-tier1" ones such as Cogent and Hurricane. Tests performed against a wide variety of well known VPN services, including the most advertised ones. The AirVPN client will show automatically the new server; if you use any other OpenVPN or WireGuard client you can generate all the files to access it through our configuration/certificates/key generator (menu "Client Area"->"Config generator"). The server accepts connections on ports 53, 80, 443, 1194, 2018 UDP and TCP for OpenVPN and ports 1637 and 47107 UDP for WireGuard. Wazn supports OpenVPN over SSL and OpenVPN over SSH, TLS 1.3, OpenVPN tls-crypt and WireGuard. Full IPv6 support is included as well. As usual no traffic limits, no logs, no discrimination on protocols and hardened security against various attacks with separate entry and exit-IP addresses and 4096 bit DH key not shared with any other VPN server. You can check the status as usual in our real time servers monitor: https://airvpn.org/servers/Wazn Do not hesitate to contact us for any information or issue. Kind regards and datalove

Well, apparently I was trying to build a tag from November last year all this time without noticing. Problem solved.

@OpenSourcerer Just in case this is a valuable information for you, ProMind tested and could build OpenVPN+DCO on kernel 6.2.7 (in a Fedora 37 system) without any problem, through the provided Makefile and no modifications at all. Swift procedure, not even a single warning was thrown. Kind regards

@oassQ9w4cbl4AySZhhth%p36x We will keep you posted. Unfortunately, it's possible that in an initial stage DCO will be only on experimental servers, so yes, persons available to testing will be invaluable, thanks!

5.16. Correction, 5.10 We never tried to do it on 6, and we're sorry (and concerned) to hear that. Thank you for the information. Kind regards

We'll check on that in the future, as discussed in our little chat. But the original problem is solved. Thank you for your patience!

I mostly use Kagi, nowadays, so now I pay for search just as I pay for my email and VPN. I don't feel I can trust free search engines any longer—maybe this was always the case, and I was just gullible or dumb before? I'll confess to actually being satisfied with DuckDuckGo for years, using only using Yandex Images occasionally to fill in that gap. I still occasionally use DDG's HTML or Lite (no JS) sites on my mobile and in Tor Browser. But their conduct increasingly bothers me, and I'll admit they've never seemed particularly competent. Now that DDG's results have become much worse and the engine mostly ignores quoted search keywords ("verbatim" searches) while making ads more prominent and almost visually indistinct from results, it's hard for me to even take them seriously. I was honestly less bothered by their compromise with Microsoft than I was their lack of transparency about this and other matters before being confronted by journalists. Screw that. Startpage has a long history of hostility toward VPN and especially Tor users, and they've never been particularly forthcoming about their relationship with their now owner, System1. They probably mean well, but I can't help but feel they're not better than DuckDuckGo.

Use https://www.startpage.com - it will query Google Search and return to you the exact Google Search reply. Kind regards

i'm having the same issue with several USA servers. I need to be able to search with google in some cases (like for shopping). it's a pain to have to turn off the VPN to do a search.
