Hello! The problem affects those users who run Eddie Desktop edition with OpenVPN and never logged out for more than a year, or use OpenVPN clients with configuration files generated before 2021. Since Eddie Desktop edition re-downloads certificates and keys only when the operator logs in, locally some certificates have expired because we extend their expiration date automatically at least one year in advance (three years normally). Please try the following procedure to quickly resolve the problem: run Eddie on Eddie's main window uncheck "Remember me" log your account out log your account in (you'll need to re-enter your AirVPN credentials) try again a connection Kind regards

Hello! We inform you that between April the 10th, 2024 and April the 20th, 2024, all Dallas servers entry and exit IP addresses will be changed. The list of servers by name can be found here: https://airvpn.org/status - search for "Dallas". If you run Eddie Desktop edition, Eddie Android edition, or Bluetit + Goldcrest, no action is required as the software will update automatically all the data. If you run any program based on configuration files containing specific references to IP addresses of Dallas servers, then you will need to re-generate the file(s) after the operation has been completed. You can do it as usual through the Configuration Generator available in your AirVPN account "Client Area". If you use Dallas servers as a gateway to restricted services based on filtering anything different from Dallas exit IP addresses, please act properly in advance to avoid any lock out. This major change is part of a series of operations that will allow a much needed and used AirVPN feature to be significantly powered up. More on this in the near future. Kind regards & datalove AirVPN Staff

Thanks so much that solved the issue...so great... best regards

Latvian not Dallas here

According to this definition there is no censorship at all anywhere enforced by governments, not in North Korea, not in France, not in China... Please note that your definition is pure fantasy, if not insulting. Censorship is exactly suppression of speech, public communication, or other information subversive of the "common good", or against a given narrative, by law or other means of enforcement. The fact that censorship is enforced by law or by a government body does not make it less censorship. Furthermore, historically censorship was an exclusive matter of some central authority (the first well documented case is maybe the censorship rules to preserve the Athenian youth, infringed by Socrates, for which he was put to death, although the etymology comes from the Roman Office of Censor which had the duty to regulate on citizens' moral practices) and today censorship by governments is predominant. Even In modern times censorship through laws has been and is predominant and pervasive according to Britannica and many academic researches. Then you can discuss ad nauseam whether censorship by law is "right" or "wrong", whether France's censorship is "better" than China's censorship, but you can't change the definition of censorship, otherwise this discussion will become delirious. Kind regards

They're also living under the assumption that government is benevolent and righteous. Have they forgotten that the government of the very thing they detest (nazism) made illegal many things...was it ok because the government made them illegal?

Hello! No, they remain in the same one. Even same rack, same switch etc. Kind regards

Hello! The client certificates expiration dates were extended well in advance, a year ago (there is no certificate expiring in 2024), so no warning in the web site was indeed due. ca.crt expiring in 2024 was extended in 2021 (this time we went for 100 years, up to 2121). Here the problem is that Eddie Desktop edition re-downloads the certificates only when the user logs in, so the issue in this thread is caused by expired local certificates. The problem therefore affects those users with Eddie Desktop edition who created their account before 2015 and never logged out in the last thirteen months (indeed best customers!), and use OpenVPN and not WireGuard, or those users who never re-downloaded the ca.crt ever since 2021. If your pfSense system warned you of imminent certificate expiration, then most probably you are (were) using the client certificate downloaded before the automated expiration date extension: just re-download and check whether the problem gets sorted out. Surely and definitely we can add in Eddie Desktop edition a forced re-download, similarly to what Eddie Android and Bluetit do, which happens even when the user never logs out, but we can't do it for third party software, of course. Kind regards

I agree with your sentiment - it takes a lot of time when you're unfamiliar with this stuff and are already busy doing something else. But it is easier than it seems. To renew the certificate: - Go to https://airvpn.org/ - Sign in - Select the "Client Area" tab - Under "VPN Devices" click the "Manage" button - Click the "Details" button - Click the "Renew" button Then do what Staff says in the above post: - run Eddie - on Eddie's main window uncheck "Remember me" - log your account out - log your account in (you'll need to re-enter your AirVPN credentials) - try again a connection

pfsense warned me last month that some old certs were expiring so I'm not surprised that some people are seeing this results. It's unfortunate that software (eddie) or this web site didn't warn people they were using certs about to expire.
