    VPN servers mostly blocked by Reddit

    Everything still works for me on ublock origin with 1 small adjustment. I think reddit blocked anyone with a Reddit session data value of 0. i use: reddit.com#%#//scriptlet('set-cookie-reload', 'reddit_session', '1') As you can see, the only change is the last number from 0 to 1 and everything works again.

    Eddie progress

    Hello! There's a part of an old urban legend here. Eddie's source code is available on GitHub (including the current 2.22.2 which is still considered "beta", according to the unorthodox release cycle of Eddie), anyway the essence of the urban legend is assuming that a license enforces restrictions on future releases of a certain work on the copyright holders themselves. The copyright holders are not restricted on future development or re-arrangement of a work of mind by any previous license since they are the "legal owners" (according to the international treaties which overlap intellectual monopoly with intellectual property and the EU legal framework on intellectual monopolies). On subsequent releases, the license of the current work always defines and/or restricts the rights of third parties, and not the rights of the legal owners. At the same time, the license we agreed to pick grants third parties that no retroactive restrictions are possible. If Eddie's developer decided to distribute an Eddie version without source code he would have the legal right to do so, provided that Eddie does not include third-party code licensed with restrictions against closed source code. It doesn't happen because of AirVPN mission (and Eddie's developer is also an AirVPN co-founder), but legally it would be Eddie's developer right. An identical right is reserved to AirVPN Suite developers, and exercised on both senses. If you notice, when a Suite alpha or beta version is made available to community testers, the OpenVPN3-AirVPN library against which the Suite is linked is always open source, while the proprietary preview code is closed. It is then re-licensed and opened (usually under GPLv3 but we're not ruling out different, more permissive licenses, for the parts we have exclusive rights on) only when the development team considers the software as "stable". Even in this case, releasing a copyrighted software as a preview does not prevent the developers to re-license and open it in the future (so far to make it open source under GPL). You did not miss anything. Eddie 2.22.2 is still the latest "experimental", but the testing work is over. If nothing serious comes out (fingers crossed) you will see a new stable release very soon. Kind regards

    eMule and AirVPN on Windows 10

    I discovered a simple quirk of setting up eMule (P2P) on Windows 10 that causes port forwarding to fail with AirVPN. This tip that may save others a lot of time. During setup eMule creates an inbound rule in Windows firewall that applies to private networks in scope. This makes sense if using eMule without a VPN. However, Windows treats the AirVPN as a public network. Consequently port forwarding with eMule and AirVPN will not work using the default inbound rule created during eMule setup. The solution is to edit the scope of the eMule inbound rule in Windows firewall to apply to both private and public profiles. The latter is the important one. This is simple to do: In Windows Firewall, right click on the inbound rule for eMule, select Properties, Advanced. Under Profiles check both Private and Public. I am not a security expert so feel free to chime in if this setting raises any concerns. This may also apply to earlier versions of Windows.
