Hello! We're very glad to inform you that two new 10 Gbit/s full duplex servers located in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, are available: Taiyangshou and Vindemiatrix. 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/Taiyangshou https://airvpn.org/servers/Vindemiatrix Do not hesitate to contact us for any information or issue. Kind regards & datalove AirVPN Staff

@Ptwifty Hello! This is a regrettable attempt to irritate AirVPN customers as retaliation by Eddie for not granting him certain benefits after almost 15 years of service. We will have to suppress these attempts at rebellion with a firm and unyielding hand. Joking aside, it seems that you have defined Sheratan as the only server to which Eddie can connect. From your description, you say that you have defined a blacklist with a single server, but in reality you have defined a whitelist with that single server. Please re-check your lists in the "Servers" window. Kind regards

The Problem VPN speeds are significantly decreased despite trying to account for all variables I can think of. Significantly decreased in this case means that absolute best I can temporarily get is 250/250 out of my 500/500 connection as measured with iperf3. However, "real life" use with bittorrent and usenet is much slower. i have consistently had a max upload speed of less than 500 kB/s with transmission. downloading from usenet which normally can max out my connection is stuck at 5 to 6 MB/s (it's about 60 MB/s on same device and network w/o VPN ie ~ 480 mbps on my 500 plan). I am absolutely stumped, any advice is very much appreciated. Steps I have taken Confirmed expected speed w/ iperf3 when vpn is disconnected. I tested between local machines, with remote public iperf3 servers, and between iperf3 docker container and remote public iperf3 servers (~ 1 gbps locally on gigabit ports, and ~500/500 mbps externally with my 500/500 plan as expected both directly on host and in docker). i also tested with iperf3 in gluetun container with vpn activated (best result was 180/150, most much lower) Tried different servers in different geographical regions, including my home country Tried OpenVPN vs Wireguard Tried using specific ports like 53 to bypass potential ISP throttling Tried TCP only for same reasons Disabled all ipv6 Tried adjusting MTU for wireguard Tried LSIO wireguard docker image, gluetun docker image, and regular (non-docker) wg Tried with and without VPN port forwarding (with gluetun) disabled UFW because at this point, why not right? Tried all of the above with several different VPN providers (Proton, OVPN, AirVPN) and spun up my own wireguard vpn server on two different VPS providers with same result I have swapped out my older router with a brand new one since the 500/500 is an upgrade from my previous 250/~25 connection and I have many devices connected. I got a slight improvement from 450 mbps down without VPN to 500+. No discernible improvement with VPN connection. Suspecting potential VPN throttling from my new ISP, I have even got a second ISP to try things with. both are 500/500 and provide speeds as advertised. i even tried gluetun on a different computer. the second computer i tried had 11th gen i9 with 32gb ram and was debian 11 (from an older PC running current LTS ubuntu server). same issue Since everything is "working" (successful tunnel connection), I have no idea what I can provide in terms of logs or whatever to help resolve this.

Mr. veryhadu, watch your language. You are being very provocative for no apparent reason. Mr. mackerel's original post actually is something of an example to follow when asking for troubleshooting help: It describes the exact problem and what have been tried, and would've provided logs if the issue was easier to trace with them. Very few other posts boast this level of detail. So you're really barking up the wrong tree here. Though, Mr. mackerel, setting --verb to 4 or 5 could maybe help. The config generator and Eddie default is 3, omitting some technical information. You could try setting this to 4, then connect and do something causing this throughput. Maybe someone is attentive enough to spot something.

You're either a troll or completely unhelpful. Next time read the post. This isn't a problem particular to AirVPN, and since I have tried literally everything I can think of and spent several hundred dollars in the process of doing so, I am seeking help on the possible causes. Preferably from people who know what they are talking about. I'll take your style advice in consideration 🙄
