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 

Hello! Yes, our suspicion was correct, as you can see the IP address in the file generated by the CG is different from the one you used previously. Server domain names resolve only into entry-IP address 1, we do not have domain names for other entry-IP addresses. You can query the API or use the CG to see all the entry-IP addresses of the servers. Now the TLS key mismatch problem is solved. The new problem: May 30 15:42:34 ovpn-client1[17021]: /usr/sbin/ip addr add dev tun11 10.11.214.40/24 May 30 15:42:34 ovpn-client1[17021]: Linux ip addr add failed: external program exited with error status: 2 Something goes wrong when the tun11 virtual network interface is configured. According to the current man, the syntax does not seem correct: ip addr { add | del } IFADDR dev STRING but we see it's an old usage which should be just fine. If the problem persists, try to upgrade the firmware if a new version is available. If you have WireGuard available in your firmware you can also test it and check what happens. Kind regards

Hello! You're trying to connect to an entry-IP address 1 (217.138.195.26), which supports TLS Auth. If you're trying the connection through a key for TLS Crypt you would get that error. TLS Auth and TLS Crypt are different and mutually incompatible OpenVPN ways to negotiate the Control Channel. Hence we use different keys and different IP addresses for each "mode". The Configuration Generator, by default, generates TLS Crypt keys and entry-IP address 3, which supports TLS Crypt. Can you please check? Note that if you turn on the "Advanced" switch, you will be able to see all the available connection modes on the Configuration Generator. Kind regards

Happy birthday airvpn! Been a member since 2012!

Hello! The most common causes are a "dirty" line and an MTU related problem. Please try to get a stronger WiFi signal, change WiFi channel, test a different Ethernet cable, make sure that network interface driver and router firmware are both up to date. Also set WireGuard's virtual network interface MTU down to 1280 bytes. You will need Eddie 2.24.x to do it, as older versions do not offer an option to modify MTU (so WireGuard default value is enforced). In Eddie 2.24.x please select Preferences > WireGuard, set MTU to 1280 bytes, click Save and test connections to various servers. Kind regards

Recently moved from Virgin Media to Zen Broadband here in the UK. With VM's 1G Volt package the most I ever got while on AirVPN was around 450Bpms but a huge jump with Zen Broadband.

Hello! The most common causes are a "dirty" line and an MTU related problem. Less frequently it's a replay attack. Please try to get a stronger WiFi signal, change WiFi channel, test a different Ethernet cable, make sure that network interface driver and router firmware are both up to date. For the second cause try to adjust network interface MTU down to 1280 bytes if you use WireGuard, or add mssfix directive if you run OpenVPN (try for example mssfix 1280). Kind regards

Have about 4000 day's left, happy b day 😁😁

Happy Birthday! Keep up the great service.

Don't have anything bad to say, was just surprised it's been 11 years. Joined when no cap VPN's weren't that common. Now things are different you get VPN's for free however nothing comes to close to what Air VPN provides. Here's to another endless years. If things go well, I would probably be the last user to leave. ❤️ keep being awesome.

Hello! We're still gathering information from various sources, therefore this is only a provisional answer. At the moment: OpenVPN over SSH and OpenVPN over SSL, to various ports except port 53, work WireGuard to port 51820 works on a limited set of servers. Unfortunately reports on this subject contradict each other about working servers so we can't say for sure which ones. UPDATE: multiple confirmations that WireGuard to port 51820 works on various servers, but not all of them access to bootstrap servers is blocked therefore you can't use Eddie Desktop or Android edition, or the AirVPN Suite integration, but you will need configuration files. UPDATE: we have new reports confirming that "secret" bootstrap servers DO work. You will obtain them by opening a ticket only from your valid AirVPN account to generate configuration from the Configuration Generator it's crucial that you can access one of our web sites. Currently they seem all accessible configuration files can be used with Eddie Android edition, Hummingbird, OpenVPN and WireGuard native clients, and Eddie Desktop edition through the external provider support option OpenVPN in tls-crypt mode over TCP to port 443 (connect to entry-IP address 3 to have this mode) works but only towards a small amount of servers (please test as many as you can) NEW circumvention option: please check this message: https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/59479-block-vpn-in-russia/?do=findComment&comment=237288 Kind regards

Maybe I'm totally wrong but I feel like the excuses for removing port forwarding (removing bad stuff from flowing through our servers) is just an excuse. Instead I think that providers don't want to pay for the increased bandwidth usage that allowing port forwarding brings (e.g. torrenting) but they're not willing to admit that because they know their customers would riot. I get it, costs have risen lately. But, as the previous poster said, just increase prices for people who want port forwarding then.
