The eddie client is just shit. Clunky. Slow. Unreliable. <Ad deleted by Staff - forbidden ads> Sometimes it hangs under Linux/Ubuntu. Good luck killing it. pkill -9 or -15 eddie* will not shut dont the tray process, the tray eddie will immediately reappear. Today I tried the pkill command instantely several times. Managed to kill it somehow but now I get "an instance of eddie is still running". Once eddie hangs, there is no option except rebooting the system. You have no idea how much I hate eddie.

@spinmaster Hello! This lock file is a temporary file created by Hummingbird to mark that the application is running. It is deleted when Hummingbird is shut down. If it exists while Hummingbird is not running the lock file is a "mark" that Hummingbird did not shut down properly (for example it was closed without grace, or it crashed) and it may hint to something that is not working properly. In your case the cause was surely the OS crash: it's normal that Hummingbird could not delete the file. To delete the file, from a terminal: sudo rm /etc/airvpn/hummingbird.lock because the file can be written/deleted only by root. Kind regards

The Windows stable version is from 2022. This version did not work on my device. It stuck on checking ipv4 route forever. Had to kill it and then reset my network connections manually. Painful. I know how to use the experimental one but then I am unable to use package managers like winget. I think airvpn should release a stable version which is more up to date.
