Hello! We're very glad to inform you that AirVPN Suite version 1.3.0 is now available. This release prepares the road to AirVPN Suite 2, where brand new features are being implemented. 1.3.0 addresses and fixes many regressions inherited from the OpenVPN3 library main branch causing critical errors with various directives and breaking the parser. The Network Lock has been extensively rewritten to solve some minor problems related to nft. Other bugs have been fixed. Please see the changelog for a complete list of changes. The suite includes: Bluetit: lightweight, ultra-fast D-Bus controlled system daemon providing full connectivity and integration to AirVPN servers, or generic OpenVPN servers. Bluetit can also enforce Network Lock and/or connect the system to AirVPN during the bootstrap Goldcrest: Bluetit client, allowing full integration with AirVPN servers, users, keys, profiles as well as generic OpenVPN servers Hummingbird: lightweight and standalone binary for generic OpenVPN server connections What's new in 1.3.0 Packages are available both for OpenSSL 3 and OpenSSL 1.1.x (legacy). Pick one according to the version you have in your system. If in doubt, run openssl version command from a terminal to see whether you have 1.x or 3.x version to solve problems specifically related to name resolutions, domain names included in OpenVPN profile "remote" directives are resolved before submitting them to OpenVPN3-AirVPN AirVPN server provided by the client is now properly checked against country's white and black lists Bluetit's run control directive allowuservpnprofiles has been added to let root user control whether external profiles must be allowed or rejected different implementations preparing for WireGuard support planned in version 2 NetFilter class has been re-designed to offer a faster and more robust persistent Network Lock when needed added connection statistics to the system log when raising "event_disconnected" Please check the changelog or detailed information. AirVPN Suite is free and open source software released under GPLv3.

You can still run AirVPN Suite 1.10 but if we have requests we can prepare a package for abandoned systems.

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.

@183aTr78f9o Hello! We apologize, it's a problem in the developer's build process affecting the legacy packages we have been given for production. You can expect fixed packages today. EDIT: if you urgently need a legacy package not affected by the "building bug", you can get it from GitLab https://gitlab.com/AirVPN/AirVPN-Suite/-/tree/master/binary EDIT 2023-06-07: new packages have been uploaded, problem fixed. Kind regards

Got it! I deleted the profile (.config/eddie/default.profile) and Eddie fired right up! It only took a few minutes to reconfigure the client. This has never happened to me so either its a freak thing, or upgrading to Bookworm hosed my Eddie profile somehow. I am posting this here just in case someone else has this happen during their upgrade. Things that make your go Hmmmmmm!

Be careful with NGOs. Many of them are funded by governments for governments to decrease freedom. https://www.corbettreport.com/flashback-ngos-are-the-deep-states-trojan-horses-2018/ for details. Rockefeller feigned good-will through fake philanthropy. People fell for it. Bill Gates, too. Some NGOs can be good. But, I prefer independent individuals or groups that have no monetary relationship with governments or evil corporations. James Corbett provides good research references. I may suggest a few people on nonprofit section later. For now, I would say that most donation suggestions don't address the root cause of tyranny. Human mind is the source of everything including tyranny. Content creators address what goes into human mind. In particular, people should specifically learn freedom. If you donate to technologies, then it should be technologies that help content creators evade censorship and produce contents. Things like good open-source video editors used by independent content creators and content platforms like odysee.com that help content creators evade censorship. Technologies help to the degree that they help freedom-loving content creators influence other people.

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

At the moment, Fulu (Sao Paulo, Brazil) is not on Sucuri's BLACK02 blacklist.

Startpage anonymous view is also proxied, but doesn't require installing another browser to accomplish the workaround. I did try Tor browser and Brave browser with Tor enabled, but they were also blocked by Sucuri.

Without disconnecting the VPN connection, it's the only solution I've found even though I normally don't use Startpage as a search engine.

AIRVPN DOES NOT RECOGNIZE ANYMORE VERISIGN, AFILIAS AND ICANN AUTHORITY. OUR COMMITMENT AGAINST UNITED STATES OF AMERICA UNFAIR AND ILLEGAL DOMAIN NAMES SEIZURES. The United States of America authorities have been performing domain names seizures since the end of 2010. The seizures have been performed against perfectly legal web-sites and/or against web-sites outside US jurisdiction. Administrators of some of those web-sites had been previously acquitted of any charge by courts in the European Union. The domain name seizures affect the world wide web in its entirety since they are performed bypassing the original registrar and forcing VeriSign and Afilias (american companies which administer TLDs like .org, .net, .info and .com) to transfer the domain name to USA authorities property. No proper judicial overview is guaranteed during the seizure. Given all of the above, we repute that these acts: - are a violation of EU citizens fundamental rights, as enshrined in the European Convention on Human Rights; - are an attack against the Internet infrastructure and the cyberspace; - are a strong hint which shows that decision capacities of USA Department of Justice and ICE are severely impaired; and therefore from now on AirVPN does not recognize VeriSign, Afilias and/or ICANN authority over domain names. AirVPN refuses to resolve "seized" domain names to the IP address designated by USA authorities, allowing normal access to the original servers' websites / legitimate Ip addresses. In order to fulfil the objective, we have put in place an experimental service which is already working fine. If you find anomalies, please let us know, the system will surely improve in time. Kind regards AirVPN admins

AirVPN does more than just purchase a server, route all traffic and count the money. They are actually interested in the privacy, which makes me to subscribe every year again.

They also reserve the right to kill anyone with a drone strike at the push of a button. No trial needed.

Not only the internet. They give themselves the right to invade any country in the world who doesn't play under their rules.

The United States is an enemy of the Internet. More and more our technology and communications are captured illegaly and stored for many years and then used against us in court. The government seems to sincerely believe that it owns the Internet and regulary hacks into foreign servers to retrieve data, seizes domain names, etc. and any citizen who can be considered a hacker under broad laws will be thrown in prison. My warning as a US citizen is to watch out, encrypt, keep everything secure, keep data offshore, and avoid any US-influenced entities such as ICANN. Thank you AirVPN for the great continued service. I've been using multiple VPN connections almost constantly for the past year everywhere and as far as I can see that will continue
