    Hello! We're very glad to inform you that two new 10 Gbit/s full duplex servers located in Zurich, Switzerland, are available: Athebyne and Toliman. The AirVPN client will show automatically the new servers; if you use any other OpenVPN or WireGuard client you can generate all the files to access them through our configuration/certificates/key generator (menu "Client Area"->"Config generator"). The servers accept connections on ports 53, 80, 443, 1194, 2018 UDP and TCP for OpenVPN and ports 1637, 47107 and 51820 UDP for WireGuard. They support OpenVPN over SSL and OpenVPN over SSH, TLS 1.3, OpenVPN tls-crypt and WireGuard. Full IPv6 support is included as well. As usual no traffic limits, no logs, no discrimination on protocols and hardened security against various attacks with separate entry and exit-IP addresses. You can check the status as usual in our real time servers monitor : https://airvpn.org/servers/Athebyne https://airvpn.org/servers/Toliman Do not hesitate to contact us for any information or issue. Kind regards & datalove AirVPN Staff

    Hello, I'm quite happy with my AirVPN setup, everything works, and I have nothing major to complain about. But from time to time when Fulu (the only brazilian server) gets full, speeds tank going from a good 500/300Mbps D/U to an average of 50/50Mbps D/U This usually happens during weekends when the server gets +100 sessions and the load is at the very limit (+1900/2000) This is quite frustrating, because I can't really stream any media and/or host my game server without having some type of instability. I know this can be quite the ask, but I really would like to see some improvements, since currently I'm only able to get around 40-50% of my real speeds (which are still pretty good), but at least having a stable connection would solve most problems. I don't expect this to happen overnight (or at all), but hopefully something can be done about this. Thanks for hearing me out.

    "chat control" and VPNs inside EU

    Hello! VPNs are not in the scope of both the legislation and trivial tech considerations, as we don't have the keys for the communications: chat, instant messages and e-mails are encrypted end-to-end without our keys, but with the keys of the parties and/or the keys of the service offering e-mail / chat / messaging service, so we can't decrypt anything in any case. With that said, this abomination must be fought. We repute it is incompatible with the Charter of Fundamental Rights and with various CJEU decisions on data retention and privacy. We feel to share the position and the consideration offered by Tuta and EDRi here and here: https://tuta.com/blog/chat-control-criticism https://edri.org/our-work/most-criticised-eu-law-of-all-time/ Unfortunately, opposition has become more difficult because big AI actors see chat control as a great opportunity and they have spent tens of millions to lobby in favor of this abominable regulation. This is the main explanation that tells you why various politicians have changed their positions. Kind regards

    Are DDOS attacks allowed?

    Hello! You must always check your facts, before posting publicly on important matters. As far as we can see, according to web searches and AI answers: And of course they are forbidden by the ToS that every AirVPN user accepts. Kind regards

    Are DDOS attacks allowed?

    No, they are strictly forbidden, as you might already know from the ToS. Instead of opening an account to complain on community forums, which is useless if we miss the message, please contact abuse@airvpn.org and provide evidence and any information relevant to enable the department to end the abuse. Do not forget to include the targeted IP address or addresses. Kind regards

    Working Well Now. Tried maximizing both upload and download in parallel, and it worked like a charm! Tzulo servers are excellent in my opinion. New York-based Tzulo servers also perform really well.

    Correlation != causation, as always. You're feeling the fallout of a small number of users scripting the hell out of VPN connections, launching all manner of automated attacks against all kinds of websites and services. As the saying goes, one bad apple spoils the barrel. People are built this way: There's heightened temptation to do "unsavory" things when there is less risk of being discovered doing so. In the realm of the internet, all manner of proxied connections like VPNs are bound to be abused at some point. The website operators don't want their servers to be attacked, obviously, so countermeasures are deployed; and you can bet these countermeasures will take the path of least resistance for the operators: Just subscribe to a service which maintains reputation lists and route traffic through them to filter the bad kind, and you get to make attacks less likely and less impactful for you (hello, Sucuri). It's a cognitive bias to falsely attribute this to "privacy is bad". It correlates, but is extremely likely not the cause – since there is no cause to block normal users using a website normally while connected to such a VPN. Everything else is good old conspiracy talk without even a sliver of proof. The human mind is annoyingly good in comparing and correlating things since it's continuously searching for explanations. It's the principle reason science exists – and pseudoscience, for that matter. You'd think the internet made us intelligent due to the sheer amount of info it holds, but, no, it's actually a good example of "to have too much of a good thing". Beware of too easy explanations, for everything you try to understand.
