Hi all, thanks for the hard work to keep the service running smoothly. I use AirVPN on a Synology NAS inside a gluetun docker as well as with Wireguard on my desktop. Both were using Alkes - now retired - so i tried to reconfigure to another server. The gluetun project kept throwing errors when trying a handful of the other California servers. I tried Bunda (San Jose), Saclateni (Los Angeles), and Aquila (Fremont) - none worked - before finally using Teegarden (Los Angeles) which worked fine. After trial and error, the key seemed to be that Teegarden is listed in the Server List and Los Angeles is listed in the City List that gluetun verifies the YAML config against. For all the other servers, either the city (like San Jose) or the server (like Saclateni) would return an error and the project won't compile. Is this something that needs to be updated, or have i made a novice config mistake somewhere? Thanks, much appreciated! Here's the text of the error when i try to config for Saclateni, for example: ERROR VPN settings: provider settings: server selection: for VPN service provider airvpn: the server name specified is not valid: value is not one of the possible choices: value saclateni, choices available are Acamar, Achernar, Achird, Adhara, Agena, Ain, Alamak, Alathfar, Albaldah, Albali, Alchiba, Alcor, Alcyone, Alderamin, Algieba, Algorab, Alhena, Aljanah, Alkes, Alkurhah, Alnitak, Alphard, Alphecca, Alpheratz, Alphirk, Alrai, Alrami, Alruba, Alsephina, Alshain, Alshat, Altarf, Alterf, Aludra, Alula, Alwaid, Alya, Alzirr, Ancha, Andromeda, Angetenar, Anser, Antares, Apus, Aquila, Arion, Arkab, Asellus, Aspidiske, Asterion, Asterope, Atik, Atria, Auriga, Avior, Azmidiske, Baiten, Beemim, Benetnasch, Betelgeuse, Bharani, Biham, Bootes, Caelum, Camelopardalis, Canes, Canis, Capella, Caph, Capricornus, Carinae, Castor, Celaeno, Centaurus, Cephei, Cepheus, Cervantes, Chalawan, Chamaeleon, Chara, Chort, Chow, Circinus, Columba, Comae, Copernicus, Crater, Cujam, Cursa, Cygnus, Dalim, Delphinus, Denebola, Diadema, Diphda, Dorado, Dubhe, Edasich, Elnath, Eltanin, Enif, Equuleus, Errai, Fang, Fawaris, Felis, Fleed, Fomalhaut, Fulu, Garnet, Gemini, Geminorum, Gianfar, Gienah, Ginan, Gorgonea, Groombridge, Grus, Haedus, Hamal, Hassaleh, Helvetios, Hercules, Horologium, Hyadum, Hydra, Hydrus, Iklil, Indus, Intercrus, Iskandar, Jabbah, Kajam, Kitalpha, Kitel, Kocab, Kruger, Lacaille, Lacerta, Larawag, Leo, Lesath, Libra, Lich, Luhman, Lupus, Luyten, Maasym, Markab, Marsic, Matar, Mebsuta, Meissa, Mekbuda, Melnick, Menkab, Menkalinan, Mensa, Merga, Merope, Mesarthim, Metallah, Minchir, Mintaka, Mirach, Miram, Mirfak, Mirzam, Muhlifain, Muphrid, Musca, Muscida, Musica, Nahn, Naos, Nash, Nashira, Norma, Ogma, Okab, Ophiuchus, Orbitar, Orion, Pegasus, Phact, Phaet, Phoenix, Pisces, Piscium, Pleione, Pollux, Pyxis, Ran, Regulus, Ross, Rotanev, Rukbat, Sabik, Sadalbari, Sadr, Saiph, Salm, Sargas, Schedir, Sculptor, Scuti, Scutum, Serpens, Sextans, Sham, Sharatan, Sheliak, Sirrah, Situla, Sneden, Struve, Sualocin, Subra, Suhail, Superba, Taiyi, Talitha, Taphao, Tarazed, Taurus, Teegarden, Tegmen, Tejat, Telescopium, Tiaki, Tianyi, Titawin, Triangulum, Tucana, Turais, Tyl, Ukdah, Ursa, Veritate, Virgo, Volans, Vulpecula, Wazn, Westerlund, Wurren, Xuange, Yildun, Zibal, Zuben

Hello! We're very glad to inform you that a new 1 Gbit/s (full duplex) server located in Kyiv, Ukraine, is available: Altais. Altais supports OpenVPN over SSL and OpenVPN over SSH, TLS 1.3, OpenVPN tls-crypt and WireGuard. Altais will replace Alcor in the same location. 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, 47107 and 51820 UDP for 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/Altais Do not hesitate to contact us for any information or issue.

If AirVPN needs to move another country, the answer is Seychelles, it will help with taxes and privacy laws. Its time to take the power back

Are there any thoughts on moving AirVPN's base to another country? What would a moving scenario entail? Would it even be feasible?

This is VERY eye opening. Thanks for sharing it. Those people are malign. I don't want to get political, but we know that what comes from IDF and its associates is nothing but evil.

Unchecking these boxes fixed it for me on 2.5.1. Just make sure these don't have unintended consequences for your configuration.

Hello! We regret to inform you that we will be discontinuing the service to residents of Italy as of February the 19th, 2024. From the above date, any user registering on the platform must declare that he/she is not a resident of Italy. The purchase page will have IP address-based geolocation and will not be served to IP addresses located in Italy. We will not interrupt the service to current subscribers until the natural expiry date and the refund policy will be granted as usual. REASONS FOR DISCONTINUATION The so-called "Italian Piracy Shield" is a legal framework with implementing regulation by AGCOM (Italian Telecommunications Authority) that forces operators offering services in Italy to block access to end services through IP blocking and/or DNS poisoning. The list of IP addresses and domain names to be blocked is drawn up by private bodies authorised by AGCOM (currently, for example, Sky and DAZN). These private bodies enter the blocking lists in a specific platform. The blocks must be enforced within 30 minutes of their first appearance by operators offering any service to residents of Italy. There is no judicial review and no review by AGCOM. The block must be enforced inaudita altera parte and without the possibility of real time refusal, even in the case of manifest error. Any objection by the aggrieved party can only be made at a later stage, after the block has been imposed. For further details: https://www-wired-it.translate.goog/article/piracy-shield-agcom-piattaforma-streaming-pirata-calcio-segnalazioni/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp The above requirements are too burdensome for AirVPN, both economically and technically. They are also incompatible with AirVPN's mission and would negatively impact service performance. They pave the way for widespread blockages in all areas of human activity and possible interference with fundamental rights (whether accidental or deliberate). Whereas in the past each individual blockade was carefully evaluated either by the judiciary or by the authorities, now any review is completely lost. The power of those private entities authorized to compile the block lists becomes enormous as the blocks are not verified by any third party and the authorized entities are not subject to any specific fine or statutory damage for errors or over-blocking. By withdrawing service availability from Italy, AirVPN will be able to stay outside the scope of the framework and maintain integrity and efficient operations. We certainly sympathise with our fellow Italian citizens, and we will be happy to offer advice and alternatives. We would also like to remind them of our more than ten years of support for the Tor network, which is freely accessible even from Italy, and which is becoming increasingly reliable and fast thanks to a myriad of small contributions like ours.
