The FAQ at https://airvpn.org/faq/servers_ip/ says that dns1.airvpn.org is the authoritative DNS server. I've been querying this DNS server for a few years now using the dig command shown in the FAQ. Since my ISP uses 464xlat, I'm now planning to switch to an ipv6 only network at home. I noticed that dns1.airvpn.org itself does not have an AAAA record and would not be available over ipv6. Is this something you can fix, or is there a different domain name that has the AAAA record pointing to your authoritative DNS server?

That "internal IP" is part of the data contained in the "device" you chose when you created the config file you are using for your NL setup. You need a different one for your UK setup, so the thing to do is to go into the AirVPN website Client Area, go to the VPN Devices page, add a new device with a name that makes sense to you. Then create your UK wireguard config again but this time specifying the new device name at the appropriate step.

Here are some updates about Airvpn in general as a user about things that I still like about this service and some rather significant downsides Airvpn has as of late. First of all the connection programs for Android and Windows use are still top notch and full of useful features and are up to date. Unfortunately latest Linux version of the desktop program is a bit sluggish for some reason, maybe because it is native code or some such reason - unfortunately it is not as responsive as it used to be. On top of that no dark theme is available and I think that it would fit very well to dark themed operating system of this day and age overall. The Linux suite of programs deserves separate mention because it is full featured, very fast and light and continuously developed and in comparison the whole stack of programs Airvpn provides are of higher quality than it's closest competitors. As a sidenote, I do wonder what happened to the rumored newer desktop connection program, is that still under development or is that false information? What is particularly good about Airvpn is the fact that port forwarding is still available and is even developed further, instead of removing or limiting it like competitors have done. And the user visible client area in the website does provide very good relevant controls - downloadable connection settings and blocklists are a good addition to this service. Good development is that there are more users and awareness about Airvpn which is rightly deserved. Greatest downside I have noticed lately is the persistent high load servers seem to have and the overall slowdown of service due to that. What I would urge Airvpn to do is to either increase the capacity of pre-existing servers and/or bring up more servers. It seems that the influx of new users has reduced the speed, latency and quality of Airvpn service - which for a long time was just excellent. And still think the server selection in quantity and geographical variety is rather limited when compared to other privacy centric vpn-services. Moreover I would hope that Airvpn would investigate circumventing site blocking on some level - most troublesome I find is the de facto monopoly video service, that being Youtube and it's crusade against VPN-services, which results in blocking most vpn exits. I would still like to see the Airvpn Android connection program on F-Droid app store. Bare minimum of connection security in this day and age is Internet Condom they call quality vpn connection and I hope and assume Airvpn is still somewhat independent, and does advance good causes. More exotic request would be investigate more private vpn protocols or integrating dual-hop into connection programs. In closing I do hope that this service has many years ahead, it is still good to have around.

Thank you so much for your touching words and stellar feedback. And for your commitment in so many years. However, were you really under the illusion that you could escape so easily? Kind regards
