This is where AirVPN's superiority becomes overwhelming. From single port randomly assigned per-session to inability to selectively link ports to devices and keys and other missing options (such as remapping), the other services are now lagging fatally behind airvpn.

@Undated8198 Hello, we have no plans to remove port forwarding, quite the contrary: we are currently deploying resources to delay port exhaustion and find alternative, but comfortable, procedures to keep offering this service in anticipation of port exhaustion. As you can see we already limited to new customers the amount of bookable ports, in order to preserve advertised features to those who are already our customers. We are committed to avoid retro-active modifications of the service for pre-existing customers, when such modifications would be detrimental for the service or anyway betraying an advertised feature. Kind regards

Hello! Please note that starting Saturday, June 24, all new accounts will have the ability to forward remotely a maximum of 5 inbound ports. The decision is intended to extend the time period after which we will run out of ports. The change is not retroactive: all current customers and all accounts created before Saturday, June 24 will have the usual, total ports availability. In addition, we will continue to investigate viable alternatives in anticipation of port exhaustion. Kind regards & datalove AirVPN Staff

After I read of Eddie versioning system 🤮 ... I decided to try the Suite on some Linux distributions (VM of Ubuntu, for example). Very nice suite, very nice architecture when used with Bluetit and Goldcrest. ✌️ Pity that WireGuard is not supported, hopefully you will implement it sooner than later. I have Bluetit configured to start and connect during the system startup and therefore I put my credentials in bluetit.rc. When I completely stop Bluetit daemon, the global system DNS settings are restored correctly, while the interface DNS settings are lost. Not an issue in my case (in the meantime I got rid of systemd-resolved so no more this problem exists) but probably something to fix, I just wanted to make you aware. Another problem, a more serious one perhaps, is that it's not possible for Bluetit or Hummingbird to restore resolv.conf when it's linked improperly because of an old systemd bug. I know that's a third party bug, but since systemd now plagues 80% of distributions, and this bug has infected Ubuntu and its derivatives, please consider to implement some workaround. I know that it would fix a problem created by third party stupidity, but if you wait for a fix from systemd and/or Ubuntu devs, you might well wait forever. The problem is that /etc/resolv.conf links to ../run/something - meaning that they declare a relative path for a symlink. To boldly go where no genius had gone before... and then the resolv.conf backup file moved/renamed by Hummingbird or Bluetit is at another directory tree depth. When the backup file should be restored, disaster strikes because of the relative path. P.S. Incredible documentation!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Thanks for the report, linux 32bit builds missing for an issue with deploy, now fixed.

FYI, 2.33.1 doesn't download Linux Debian/Ubuntu version on a 32 bit machine (clicking download button only opens blank new tab). 64 bit version does download but haven't tried to install on a 32 bit machine as I assume it is not compatible. 2.33.1 working normally on a Win10 64 bit machine.

With news of Mullvad and now IVPN removing port forwarding, can we have assurance from staff that AirVPN is not planning to remove port forwarding?

Just caught same issue while using Eddie UI! Obviously, it has nothing to do with AirVPN software, but this bug is not exclusive to plain CLI openvpn with DCO. Connection was active for almost 5 hours, then I tried to disconnect manually - and there is no way anymore to kill openvpn process.

Usage count = 2 systemd-shutdown[1]: Waiting for process: 3170 (openvpn) I found this thread about openvpn-dco, and it looks like it can be somehow related to what I am experiencing. However, my knowledge is now enough to say for sure is it so or not. # ip link del tun0 mentioned in linked thread didn't help in my case: command's output stated that tun0 doesn't exist (just like # ip link show). Is it known issue? Can you reproduce? If I can obtain more logs someway, please let me know. Update 2: Unfortunately, same happens for me even with root (not just sudo) and CLI openvpn. Maybe something is wrong on my side, since no one else here mentions it. I think I should retest everything one more time with newer & not-custom kernel version and reinstalled DCO dkms module.

Hello! Thank you for your valuable tests which helped us find bugs and glitches. Your work was not in vain, you can see how many bug fixes have been implemented on Eddie 2.23: most of them thanks to you and community testers like you. https://eddie.website/changelog/?software=client&format=html We assure you that your work is precious and that under no circumstance will we waste it. Eddie's Deskop edition versioning scheme and release cycle are unorthodox. For example, check what happened now with Eddie 2.23.0: a bug was found, thanks to testers from the community like you. The fix was implemented on a new version (2.23.1) and 2.23.0 has been thrown away. You don't have different betas for 2.23.0, and 2.23.0 will never be Release Candidate or release, to be clear. Similarly, Eddie 2.22.2 will never reach a Release status, and not even a Release Candidate status: each bug fix is implemented not in 2.22.2 but in a new version. You can see it as a customized SemVer (semantic versioning), where: every fix is condensed in the "post release cycle", the scheme is more similar to major.minor.patch than to major.minor.maintenance.build and a whole minor could be thrown completely away without reaching a stable phase (exactly the 2.22 you mention). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_versioning With that said: So far no critical problem has been found by anyone on Eddie 2.22.2 so you can keep using it with the usual caveat: it does not include the bug fixes you can see on the 2.23.1 version. Furthermore, Linux users must be aware that Eddie 2.23.1 features full support, with proper DNS management, of every systemd-resolved working mode, which previous Eddie versions don't. Now that more and more Linux distributions come pre-packaged with systemd-resolved working in on-link or hybrid modes (examples: Fedora, Ubuntu), Linux users can seriously consider to jump directly to 2.23.x. Thank you again again for your valuable tests and we frankly hope that you will be among the testing group for Eddie 2.23.x as well. Kind regards

Bravo! That's how you do it. By preserving what was advertised to all previous customers you have proved your honesty and fairness again. 👏

OK, I was in contact with AirVPN support who were asking for the version of OpenVPN (it's 2.5.8 in DSM 7.2) and also for the OpenVPN log. I couldn't find it and, while googling the subject, came across a post by someone having similar problems with a different VPN provider. This worked for me: - Go to the config generator - Select Router - Don't click on Advanced, just select UDP 443 (I believe that's selected by default) - Select your server/country/whatever you like - Generate the ovpn file In DSM: - Create a VPN profile - Give it a name - Enter your AirVPN credentials - Select the ovpn file you just generated - Click the checkboxes in the next screen - Click Connect and it should connect... worked here anyway. This had been driving me nuts for a few hours. I even tried another VPN (free trial) which didn't work, so I was really wondering if the server's VPN module was broken!

Thanks for the fix. Everything is working fine with this version. I just have an exact same bug as previous versions: If I activate "Don't ask elevation every run" and after running Eddie, I click on "Exit" or the right top X, Eddie will be stuck at the end of the exit process. I can kill it with xKill but the remaining process is impossible to kill with a kill -9, it comes back after a few seconds and internet is not working anymore. Rebooting is the only option to have internet again. So for now, I don't activate the elevation option. It is not a big deal, but I have the same bug since several Eddie versions on Linux Mint and Debian.

This is a really specific issue, but I'm experiencing extremely high network latency while playing Team Fortress 2, but only on Valve's casual matchmaking mode. Community operated servers work fine. Similarly, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive will say "Failed to reach any official servers" upon queuing for any game. I'm using WireGuard with Eddie 2.23.1. Neither of these issues occur under OpenVPN or Eddie 2.22.2. I haven't changed any settings between versions. What could be causing this? Could someone with a Linux machine also test this? Both games are free on Steam.
