Hello! Today we're starting AirVPN 13th 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 284,000 Mbit/s to tens of thousands of people around the world. AirVPN is now one of the only three major consumers' VPNs which are still independent, i.e. not owned by big corporations with multiple fields interests, interfering in editiorial publications or intersecting with products or services in conflict with privacy protection. Ever since we celebrated the past 12th birthday, AirVPN operated important, community driven changes: infrastructure power up. Through hardware renewal and new 2, 5 and 10 Gbit/s full duplex lines the infrastructure may deliver now up to 284,000 Mbit/s (full duplex) (+40,000 Mbit/s in one year) additional rewrite of the port forwarding, DDNS and key management service allowing multiple DDNS names and forwarded ports on a device basis various, new optional lists to block spam, ads, trackers and other malicious sources, featuring a unique and fine grained customization which is exclusive on the nowadays market revamped API new API Explorer to generate API call commands and examples from the web interface On the software side, all AirVPN applications and libraries are still free and open source software released under GPLv3. The development of traffic-splitting features on an application basis, already available in AirVPN Eddie Android and Android TV edition, has been planned for Desktop systems too.

Plus also supports QAT which with a suitable processor should improive OpenVPN performance and/or reduce CPU utilization.

Hello! By adding WireGuard's pre-shared key we are ready to deploy an additional encryption layer supposed to be "quantum resistant". It's important NOT to deploy it right now because ciphers thought to be "post-quantum world ready" are not well reviewed and it may happen that they can be cracked with a classic computer. It happened for example to Rainbow last year. Rainbow was a cipher meant to resist even to quantum computers. It was the state-of-the-art cryptography algorithm in the world, rivaled only by other two algorithms. Except that it was cracked with a modest CPU laptop a year ago or so. https://www.newscientist.com/article/2310369-encryption-meant-to-protect-against-quantum-hackers-is-easily-cracked/ We have 20 Gbit/s server lines as well (10 Gbit/s full duplex). However those lines can not be saturated at the moment due to CPU limits: with a few dozen of connected clients, all vCPU limit is reached well before the line is saturated. This is due mainly to the computational power required by the encryption algorithms and marginally by other reasons. Unfortunately WireGuard is not difficult to block, so it's possible that your ISP blocks it. For additional investigation feel free to open a ticket at your convenience. You over-estimate us. Yes, we have implemented a lot of things to load balance the servers, but it still happens that some servers go at capacity, it's unavoidable, especially nowadays when 1 Gbit/s residential lines are common. Thanks! Starting the 14th year of AirVPN's life. Kind regards

There is no auto-update, but the notification is there, as Mr. fishbasketballaries wrote.

Hello! Please try to delete Eddie's configuration file: make sure that Eddie is not running open a terminal (from the account which installed and uses Eddie) and delete the configuration file with command: rm ~/.config/eddie/* start Eddie (you will need to re-enter AirVPN account credentials) Kind regards

Not sure about auto-update on Windows, but I know that a update notification can appear below the version number when an update is available on your chosen update channel (Settings -> Advanced -> Update channel (Stable | Beta | None))
