Hello! Today we're starting AirVPN 14th Birthday celebrations with big discounts on longer term plans. From a two servers service located in a single country providing a handful of Mbit/s, the baby has grown up to a wide infrastructure in 23 countries on four continents! AirVPN is now one of the only three major consumers' VPNs which are still independent, i.e. not owned by big corporations with multiple fields interests, interfering in editorial publications or intersecting with products or services in conflict with privacy protection. Ever since we celebrated the past 13th birthday, AirVPN focused on a comprehensive infrastructure enhancement consisting of: line and server expansion to accommodate the significant customer growth. The infrastructure is now capable of delivering up to 694,000 Mbit/s CPU and network interface upgrades on all four continents where we operate in order to further stabilise and consolidate actual bandwidth availability thorough rewrite of remote inbound port forwarding logic to avert impending port exhaustion. The new implementation will be unveiled soon far reaching improvements to the "behind the scenes" infrastructure (backend servers) through hardware upgrades and targeted software optimisation On the software side, all AirVPN applications and libraries are still free and open source software released under GPLv3. The development of traffic splitting features on an application basis, already available in AirVPN Eddie Android and Android TV edition, has been implemented on the AirVPN Suite for Linux. The OpenVPN3-AirVPN library has undergone a remarkable round of bug fixes and improvements, while the WireGuard library is now fully supported by the Suite. If you're already our customer and you wish to stay aboard for a longer period, any additional subscription will be added on top of already existing subscriptions and you will not lose any day. Check the promotional prices here: https://airvpn.org/buy Promotion will end on June the 12th, 2024 (UTC). Kind regards and datalove AirVPN Staff 

Be aware everyone, AirVPN is at the height of its rebellious teen phase. It may yell things like "SHUT UP UR NOT MY MOM" or "DON'T TELL ME WHAT I CAN OR CANNOT VIEW". It may smash through censorship and not apologize afterwards. It may show all the men in the middle that one finger and randomly get mad at eavesdroppers. Do not worry. This is normal. Has been for 14 years.

Congratulations. Fourteen years is quite something, with harsh competition from large groups and companies. Great work on the infrastructure, hands down. My 2 cents: push push push on software development! Hyvää syntymäpäivää 🤗

Happy 14th Birthday AirVPN. Myself I have been a User/subscriber for 12 of those 14yrs and will continue into future. The best VPN service available in my opinion.

Thank you for your services in keeping an open and free Internet possible!

Wishing you continued success as you celebrate this significant milestone. Here's to many more years of safeguarding our privacy and delivering reliable, high-performance VPN services.

Yes, I have been able to use Syncthing on two firewalled devices behind AirVPN. For this test, I also disabled "Local Discovery" to rule out false positives. 1. Do not change the "Global Discovery Servers" and do not open/forward their ports! Keep it to the default: udp4://announce.syncthing.net:22026, udp6://announce-v6.syncthing.net:22026 2. On both/all of your devices, check Syncthing's web interface and look for the "Global Discovery" field. It has to say 1/2 or 2/2, meaning that it's been able to connect to at least one of the discovery servers. If it says 0/2, check your internet connectivity, VPN connectivity and the default discovery servers (step 1). 3. For each device you want to sync, create forwarded ports in Air's client area. As an example, let's pretend you have 2 devices and get ports 12345 and 12346. Set the "Sync Protocol Listen Address" on device A to 0.0.0.0:12345 and on device B to 0.0.0.0:12346 and don't forget to restart each Syncthing instance after changing ports! 4. (only for firewalled devices) If your devices' firewalls block all incoming traffic by default, allow traffic to port 12345 or 12346. Example for ufw: ufw allow in on tun0 to 0.0.0.0/0 port 12345 Example for iptables: iptables -A INPUT -i tun0 -p tcp --dport 12345 -j ACCEPT 5. In Air's client area, do the TCP port check for each device. If Syncthing is running on the given device/port and your firewall allows incoming traffic (see step 4), you will get a green light. If you don't, check all the previous steps. 6. If you do get a green light for both devices, you can go ahead and pair your devices. On device A, click "Add Device" and type in device B's Device ID. You will now see a message on device A: Device B ([AirVPN IP]:some_port) wants to connect. Add new device? Choose "Add" and you're good to go

I live in the US and what is going on hear regarding the internet is really scary. Thank you AirVPN for taking a stand. Best Regards, Daniel
