1 pointHello! 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

1 point@AVPN0815 Hello! That's not entirely correct because we use RAM disks. It is true that an HDD or SSD is used to boot, and it contains a working boot record, grub software or similar, used in turn to load a kernel which must provide TCP/IP, network and basic services support, but anything else is downloaded via network (after the network is up, obviously). At each (re)boot the server can not start, because it is barred from downloading any relevant file until we authorize the reboot, so it will miss even the essential configuration files, scripts, keys... This allows us to check the kernel (once the network is up) and any relevant storage file against a pristine copy, especially if the reboot is unexpected. Once the TCP/IP stack, the network and their essential services have come up, and a manual authorization has been dispatched by AirVPN management, the server starts downloading any other file needed for normal operations, and all of that remains in RAM disks. Kind regards

New 10 Gbit/s server available (BG)

Hi there, I am the main developer of the OpenVPN DCO kernel module and I am really happy to hear that you guys have been testing it out! The larger the user base, the faster we can find and squash bugs! Regarding compiling DCO, we normally strive to have it always compile on the latest kernel. However, in the past few weeks we were focused on implementing some big and important changes, therefore we had to shift our effort a bit and could not work on compatibility with 6.1/6.2. However, I think master compiles on 6.2 since a month at least. I just tested in this very moment whether it compiles on the latest netdev tree and it does. So it should all be good for 6.3 as well! Regarding issues: if you have experienced anything that could be reported, please do so on GH in the issue page. It's *vital* that users experiencing problems do report them upstream and provide reproducible steps (if possible). At the moment we still have a few "quite hard to reproduce" issues open and it'd be nice to receive any kind of input regarding them if you are experiencing the same. -

Why are the VPN speeds (no matter what server I connect to) is so borderline slow?

None of my business, really, but as a member of the community who has used AirVPN daily for years and who has family and friends who have as well, and who is an engineer with decades of experience solving technical problems, I'm just going to interject that I am also offended by the OP's attitude that if something is wrong, surely it must be because someone is trying to cheat him. Super poor vpn performance across many of a providers' servers is actually not indicative of a "bad vpn" (go stand in the corner!), but the technical settings in the software that will work for your situation can depend on many things, even the particulars of your ISP's service. Set the MTU too high for a particular ISP's network, for example, and you can bring any VPN system to its knees, not because the VPN server is slow — it isn't — but because the network between you and that server is not getting packets to the server efficiently. In that situation it's like it can't run or even walk because it's tripping over its own feet with every step. Is that the fault of the destination? Networks are complicated. It's the reality and a lot of crazy things can bog them down. Air has a really fast VPN system, and they have the best technical support I have ever seen. Work with them on sorting out what's going wrong in your particular situation and killing most of your speed, and do it without the insults. This is almost certainly something that can be cured with an easy adjustment at your end, once the problem is identified. -

@bidasci Use a proper language and don't be aggressive. You might use that language with your family, if they allow you to do so, but surely not with us and our community so get a grip of yourself right now. Open a ticket and the support team will assist you. Check the real time servers monitor to get convinced that the problem may very well be on your side. Acknowledging this simple fact is the first step to work to resolve your own problem with our assistance. Last but not least, advertising other VPNs in this way is severely forbidden, so the ad has been removed. Do not post other ads or you will be banned from the forum. Kind regards -
