Hello! We're very glad to inform you that a new Eddie Air client version has been released: 2.24 beta. It is ready for public beta testing. How to test our experimental release: Go to download page of your OS Click the button Switch to EXPERIMENTAL Download and install This is a new version of Eddie Desktop (Windows / Linux / MacOS). We know there is still 2.21.8 as stable, and 2.22.x and 2.23.x series never reached the stable version. This version is very close to a stable release after thorough testing by the community and subsequent bug fixing. Internally (in terms of development and code) it represents a significant step forward for us: the CLI editions are compiled with dotnet 7, without Mono, Xamarin and any dependency on NetFramework (Windows) or Mono (Linux, MacOS). All CLI projects can be opened in Visual Studio Code and debugged on any OS (macOS, Linux, Windows) without the need to use Xamarin, Visual Studio or Visual Studio for Mac. A new UI is in the works that will finally remove the dependency on Mono and Xamarin, but we don't have a release date to announce yet. The MacOS CLI is new (previously there was only the UI, or the UI with "-cli"), and it's also native for arm64. Overall, there has been a significant effort to clean up and modernise the code, and to prepare our build/deploy scripts for the new UI as well. We understand that there are still tickets or posts that we haven't responded to yet, but we preferred to complete this step first. Main changelog: [new] WireGuard is now the default communication protocol [new] All CLI editions can be compiled and debugged with VSCode and .NET7 [new] [macOS] CLI-only edition, built with .NET7, without Xamarin [new] New commandline only option "elevated.method" [change] OpenVPN 2.6.9 [change] [linux] CLI edition, built with .NET7, without Mono [change] [linux] .deb and .rpm, removed Mono dependency [change] [linux] .deb package tries to initialize elevated service at install/uninstall, .rpm package still missing this feature. [change] [windows] CLI edition, built with .NET7 [change] [all] Better management of SIGTERM signal [change] [all] Don't check if app dir is writable for portable-mode, now managed by presence of "portable.txt". [bugfix] [linux] terminal issue with sudo elevation [deprecation] [all] -cli mode for UI. Use CLI edition directly, now available in all supported platform. [deprecation] [windows] Vista builds [deprecation] [windows] Windows Firewall Network Lock mode [deprecation] [linux] x86 builds [deprecation] [linux] Portable Mono builds

Yes, I can confirm that AmneziaWG currently works amazingly well with AirVPN. I get speeds up to 150+ Mbps to the German servers even without the kernel module (sorry but I don't want to install anything from GitHub into the kernel). Unfortunately it's still a "DPI spoofing" solution in the vein of GoodbyeDPI, byedpi, SpoofDPI, etc., hence sooner or later they manage to detect those fake packet tricks and block it. My opinion is that only real obfuscation (methods used by Cloak, VRay, etc.) can be considered a long-term solution. For those who, like me, uses a Linux home server which acts like a VPN gateway, and start WireGuard/OpenVPN in a custom way, a couple of advices: download, compile and install both amneziavpn-go and amneziawg-tools. The first is the userspace daemon which creates the network interface, it will be run automatically once you run either: awg-quick <wg_interface_name> awg-quick <full_path_to_wg_config_file> That is the only command you should run.

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

Hello! The problem: DCO can be used only by OpenVPN 2.6 (or higher version), it is not supported by 2.5.5, the OpenVPN version launched by Eddie in your case. Quickly solve the problem by telling Eddie to create its own interface and ignore DCO: from Eddie's main window select "Preferences" > "Networking" type eddie in the "VPN interface name" field click "Save" Alternatively you can configure Eddie to run OpenVPN 2.6 with DCO but at the moment DCO is highly experimental so if you want a stable environment just don't use DCO at the moment. If you want a VPN software working mainly in the kernel space then please consider WireGuard, as at this stage it's definitely more stable than OpenVPN with DCO. To switch to WireGuard via Eddie (you can then go back to OpenVPN anytime of course): from Eddie's main window select "Preferences" > "Protocols" uncheck "Automatic" select a line with WireGuard. The line will be highlighted click "Save" Kind regards
