Hi, Hopefully one of Eddie's developers will see this and provide some insight. The latest stable is now over two years old! From a security perspective should we be using the stable or latest experimental version? Why hasn't a more up to date stable version been released since 2.21.8? I've used AirVPN for several years, but am concerned over the pace of Eddie development. Can the developer please provide some insight when the next stable will be released? If we are supposed to be using experimental, then why is stable the default download option? Thank you.

YouTube was watchable on 1080p60 again on Alderamin (at 580 Mbit and 80 clients).

Neither AirVPN's port open test nor yougetsignal's port open test will show "green" unless your whole chain is working and your server (qbit) is listening and responds to the query. This is important. Your server must be up and responding. So if things seem correct on pfsense then then problem is somewhere else, that's my thought.

Currently in Russia, I can confirm that OpenVPN UDP without any extra config (on any port) works on some US, NL and LV servers on mobile networks (MegaFon, MTS). On household connections, regular OpenVPN does not seem to work at all, but regular WireGuard sometimes does. When it doesn't work, the connection handshake usually succeeds, but no traffic passes. But what I wanted to share is that I've had near 100% success (on both household and mobile connections) using the AmneziaWG client with many (most?) AirVPN servers. This is a client that introduces modified handshake parameters intended to fool DPI, while remaining compatible with the vanilla WireGuard server implementation, and it's available for all platforms (you can always compile from source, but at the time of writing there are binaries available at least for Windows, iOS and Mac OS and Android. Linux kernel modules and binaries are also available on Github). Note: there is also an "AmneziaVPN" GUI client but I prefer to use the bare protocol implementation instead. These additional parameters are needed in the WireGuard config file generated by the Config Generator (check the Amnezia documentation for a detailed explanation), and have been verified to work: [Interface] Jc = 3 Jmin = 40 Jmax = 70 S1 = 0 S2 = 0 H1 = 1 H2 = 2 H3 = 3 H4 = 4

Just a super quick correction here: Eddie is written in C#, not in Java, so the underlying runtime is not the Java Virtual Machine, but the Common Language Runtime. You are somewhat correct in that both JVM and CLR are sandboxed runtimes executing precompiled bytecode, though. Additionally, while you can achieve somewhat similar performance of your Java application on all operating systems if you test against a specific JVM implementation (i.e., HotSpot on Windows = HotSpot on Linux), this is more difficult for CLR applications. The Windows user interface is built in .NET, but on Linux people usually download Mono to execute CLR apps, and Mono != .NET Framework. There will be differences in features and performance, as you pointed out. Would be an interesting experiment to see if Eddie can be run on .NET Core, which is a feature-reduced CLR implementation also available on non-Windows platforms. I'm guessing it's not possible.

This is by far the most resilient vpn I use. There are so many features and the VPN auto connected. There are many servers to choose from and the speeds are very fast! 😁 5/5.

You know, it's sort of sad to think that you must fall into the darkness just because you are not belonging to the "overwhelming majority of the world". China, Russia, Belarus, Venezuela, Turkmenistan, Egypt, Turkey. Who's next? I know we are all the "third world" but we are people and want the information! If no one will lend us a hand from the greater world, where life is still okay, we won't ever make it out of the darkness.

Hello everyone, Hi AirVPN staff. I am planning to write a short audit of parts of the AirVPN software code for a modest private newsletter of developers dedicated (also) to examples of open source software good and bad design. I encountered some problems with "Eddie" for Windows, Linux and MacOS, for example the versioning confuses me in no small way. In the world of "VPN" services for individual consumers AirVPN is a rare example of a company that develops and delivers free and open source software, so I would love to understand a few issues I met as well as the weak and the strong points of this activity from a development point of view and source code examination. Issues I'd like to understand: Eddie's changelog does not distinguish between stable, alpha, beta, RC and discontinued versions (Eddie for Android changelog does distinguish) Several versions disappear mysteriously and it is difficult, for the user, to verify what happened to them (check 2.21.0 > 2.21.7 for example). As far as I see they remain unavailable on any repository, but they are on the announcement messages and on the changelog. However, some other versions, even extremely old, remain available Other versions are listed as "beta" in the forum (check for example 2.22.0, 2.22.1, 2.22.2, 2.24.0, 2.24.1, 2.24.2) or even "experimental" (!) on the official download web pages, but on the changelog they are listed without "beta" or "experimental" label. Some versions that are declared initially as "beta versions" or "experimental" from the download web site become "stable" versions without changes in code and versioning. So, my questions, if/when you have the time to answer in public (not related to Eddie for Android or AirVPN-Suite of programs but only on Eddie for Windows, Linux and Mac): can you please tell me what software versioning scheme and development model are being used? why Eddie for Android and the AirVPN-Suite of programs for Linux follow a canonical and clean versioning and development cycle while Eddie for Windows, Linux and Mac do not? why various Eddie beta or even experimental versions for Linux/Windows/Mac, in pre-built packages too, when launched on a system, do not show "beta" or "experimental" label, on either the GUI or the LI, preventing the user from understanding at a glance that she's not running a stable release? I will be glad to share my findings and opinions on this forum, for the 2 cents they are worth, when I have clarified the above issues I don't understand. Thank you! I.
