Hello! We're very glad to inform you that a new Eddie Air client version has been released: 2.24 beta. It is ready for public beta testing. How to test our experimental release: Go to download page of your OS Click the button Switch to EXPERIMENTAL Download and install This is a new version of Eddie Desktop (Windows / Linux / MacOS). We know there is still 2.21.8 as stable, and 2.22.x and 2.23.x series never reached the stable version. This version is very close to a stable release after thorough testing by the community and subsequent bug fixing. Internally (in terms of development and code) it represents a significant step forward for us: the CLI editions are compiled with dotnet 7, without Mono, Xamarin and any dependency on NetFramework (Windows) or Mono (Linux, MacOS). All CLI projects can be opened in Visual Studio Code and debugged on any OS (macOS, Linux, Windows) without the need to use Xamarin, Visual Studio or Visual Studio for Mac. A new UI is in the works that will finally remove the dependency on Mono and Xamarin, but we don't have a release date to announce yet. The MacOS CLI is new (previously there was only the UI, or the UI with "-cli"), and it's also native for arm64. Overall, there has been a significant effort to clean up and modernise the code, and to prepare our build/deploy scripts for the new UI as well. We understand that there are still tickets or posts that we haven't responded to yet, but we preferred to complete this step first.

Typo in the first paragraph. The server name is written as "Meleph"

That is a silly and childish question. How do you expect staff to answer that? Since I am not staff or related in any way with AirVPN, I will give you a point of view for this from just a normal fellow in your community. Staff clearly mentioned that there is a legal framework in place. Law should not be commented but obeyed. Which is why AirVPN is obeying and respecting the law, and not allowing customers from Italy. Since there is no legal requirement to ask for face scan or identity card when registering a VPN account, the only way for the service to know where you are ordering from is the IP address you are placing the order from. How will the service know you are buying via a different VPN in the first place? It's not like there is a public record of all VPN addresses (unlike there is a public record for all IP addresses that are flagged in Italy for example) - that could perfectly be a normal IP address. There's a huge chance the provider will not even know you are using a VPN at all when buying. If the IP address of that VPN or proxy or whatever you are using is not in Italy, how will the provider know you are from Italy? You have to click a checkbox to confirm you are not Italian, so the provider has the confirmation that they are applying the correct policy. But it's against the privacy rights to request for ID card copy or facial scan, so it's up to you to provide the accurate information If you order via Tor for example, via the .onion address of AirVPN, how can it be known? So, obviously you must NOT be an Italian if you are purchasing your VPN from there, you are resident of Tor-onion-land. I recommend closing this post for future replies, as the main message has been properly sent, and to prevent more confusing stuff - in case the legal framework will be reversed in Italy (as it should because it's madness, but then again this is something too big and beyond powers to talk here) a new announcement will be made confirming the acceptance of Italian customers.

Hello! We were easy prophets in this case. The catastrophic blackout referred to in the article is a concrete example of the risk we denounced, a violation of fundamental rights, a confirmation of the wisdom of our decision and a demonstration of the irresponsible and odious frivolity of decisions taken by private actors. Our infrastructure must not be polluted by repugnant decisions taken by private entities that seem to have little or no technical competence and that, so far, enjoy impunity for any mistake, no matter how serious. Kind regards

I feel for the Italians, but how can you challenge a corrupt government "this is all part of the plan" not country specific but world-wide ! One small step for Italy, one giant leap for World domination
