Hello! We're very glad to inform you that AirVPN Suite 2.0.0 Release Candidate 2 for Linux is now available. The original post is updated to show the new download URLs. The important improvements over RC 1 are: Cuckoo's design flaw has been fixed. Now cuckoo can be run when no graphic environment is installed added check and warning to clearly inform the user when firewalld is configured to be the exclusive owner of its tables / chains / rules in case VPN is busy in a pending process (such as reconnecting) stop_connection command is not performed by Bluetit, thus avoiding potential problems a few changes to greatly improve network management during sessions based on WireGuard libxml2 is now statically linked. This pondered decision was driven by various problems caused by a few Linux distributions inconsistencies with established practices and standards linked against the new OpenVPN3-AirVPN 3.12 library Special note for firewalld users Please read here, it's very important: https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/70164-linux-network-lock-and-firewalld/ Please note that compatibility with Debian 10 and its derivatives, that reached end of long term support and end of life on June 2024, is lost even for the legacy version, mainly because the Suite is now C++20 compliant. The legacy version remains suitable for Debian 11 and its derivatives. Kind regards

Hello everyone, I've been using the Eddie GUI for several years without any flaws. Recently, I added its repository to my Xubuntu 25.04 system and updated from version 2.21 to 2.24.6. The GUI has since become somewhat lagging, taking several seconds to proceed a simple mouse click. More annoyingly, version 2.24.6 interferes with some local network settings. I have a QNAP HS-264 NAS set up for access through Thunar (XFCE's file manager) via the samba protocol. Since the update, that access is halted after launching Eddie – not immediately, but within half an hour or so. I can still connect to the NAS on my internet browser, but since Eddie was the only package update I did before the problem appeared, there must be some newish inbuilt override that blocks samba. Could somebody kindly point me to a solution? I'm a Linux noob and would appreciate any help. Kind regards, B. Update: As it turned out, the installation of 2.24.6 enforced a new setting, "Ensure in session", for the network lock, even though I already had the lock deactivated in the main window. After unticking said box in the advanced settings, samba protocols are working again (even though "Allow lan/private" had been checked, but there seem to be several reports in this forum that this often doesn't solve the local network barriers.) So this was the override I was looking for, and admittingly, it's a bit confusing that there's two entirely seperate, unsynced selections for the same locking function. That only leaves the generally laggy GUI reponse as a minor issue which the mods/developers might consider looking into. I can't pinpoint it for certain, but I believe that the server latencies on display are also at least 10-15ms higher than before my 2.24.6 update, which might be due to the same decelerating problems.

The three NZ servers always seem to have quite a load on them, with at peak hours most 75%+ ... i've started defaulting to USA servers that have about a 20% load as I find I get better constant speeds, even though NZ is way closer and faster if it is less full. There were times connected to NZ where my connection suddenly goes super slow, and I realise that all of a sudden that server is really congested and my download crawls to a trickle. It would be great to get another NZ server added (or two ). I do wonder where people using NZ are coming from, I wouldn't have thought it would be as popular as it seems to be, but i'm glad it is, just need one or two more now.
