I've been a happy customer for a long time now. And I have a long time commitment to AirVPN too, with my plan not expiring for four more years. In the past few months the situation with servers load has gone from bad to worse. It's become noticeable in all applications. P2P above else, where I have a pretty firm idea of what the performance can be. This is my current performance under AirVPN. This is my current performance outside the tunnel. Before the recent influx of new users the situation was far better. Sad state of affairs and I'd like to understand if AirVPN is planning to so something to remedy the situation or if I have to look elsewhere in order to properly use my connection. Thank you. Even though the message might not sound like it, I'm a big fan of AirVPN and of their overall mission.

Hello! Very well! The problem is not Eddie in itself but OpenVPN linked against OpenSSL 1.1.x. libssl 1.1.x is perhaps not available anymore, replaced by OpenSSL 3 library. All recent OpenVPN versions are linked against OpenSSL 3, so the problem is no more. It has been extensively tested and no critical issue has appeared so far. Of course absence of evidence does not mean evidence of absence. A stable version will be released very soon anyway, a matter of days. If you prefer to run Eddie 2.21.8 you can: just switch to WireGuard (which is not linked against any SSL library) or upgrade OpenVPN in your system and have Eddie use the new OpenVPN binary. You can switch to WireGuard from Eddie's "Preferences" > "Protocols" window. In the new Eddie 2.24.x WireGuard is the new default connection mode and protocol, replacing OpenVPN (which remains available for any necessity). Kind regards

Hello! Yes, it is related to OpenSSL library (1.1 is now deprecated and perhaps not available anymore in Mint). Please upgrade to Eddie 2.24.6 and also upgrade your OpenVPN package in your Mint distribution: https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/57401-eddie-desktop-224-beta-released/ Kind regards

It would probably be faster for everyone to simply show you my stack: # This is a P2P demonstration stack template which has been tested to work well with AirVPN as of January 2025. # Use AirVPN's config generator to obtain your specific values (https://airvpn.org/generator).

id rather them dedicate that time to finalizing/ continuing to work with openvpn DCO
