Hello! We're very glad to announce that Eddie Android edition 4.0.0 Beta 1 is now available. UPDATE 2026-01-14: Eddie Android edition 4.0.0 Beta 2 is now available This is a major update: for the first time Eddie Android edition features AmneziaWG complete support. Eddie Android edition is a fully integrated with AirVPN, free and open source client allowing comfortable connections to AirVPN servers and generic VPN servers offering compatible protocols. Eddie 4.0.0 aims primarily at adding, besides the already available OpenVPN and WireGuard, a thorough and comfortable AmneziaWG support. AmneziaWG is a free and open source fork of WireGuard by Amnezia inheriting the architectural simplicity and high performance of the original implementation, but eliminating the identifiable network signatures that make WireGuard easily detectable by Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) systems. It can operate in several different ways, including a fallback, "compatibility mode" with WireGuard featuring anyway various obfuscation techniques. What's new in Eddie 4.0.0 AmneziaWG support Amnezia WireGuard API stronger anti-blocking logic: ability to log in to the service and download AirVPN infrastructure and user data while connected through a profile with a specific option on the left pane ability to read and use local user data when bootstrap servers are unreachable new "Open with..." option on top of the usual "Share" option to manage and export comfortably generated profiles on any Android version with any suitable application updated AmneziaWG parameters allowed ranges updated OpenSSL, OpenVPN3-AirVPN and WireGuard libraries bug fixes see the complete changelog below AmneziaWG overview From the official documentation: https://docs.amnezia.org/documentation/amnezia-wg AmneziaWG offers: Dynamic Headers for All Packet Types (compatibility with WireGuard: YES) During tunnel initialization, the library generates a set of random constants applied to each of the four WireGuard packet formats: Init, Response, Data, Under‑Load. These constants: Replace predictable WireGuard packet identifiers; Shift offsets of Version/Type fields; Modify reserved bits. As a result, no two clients have identical headers, making it impossible to write a universal DPI rule. Handshake Length Randomization (compatibility with WireGuard: NO) In WireGuard, the Init packet is exactly 148 bytes, and the Response packet is exactly 92 bytes. AmneziaWG adds pseudorandom prefixes S1 and S2 (0-64 bytes by default): len(init) = 148 + S1 len(resp) = 92 + S2 Offsets of the remaining fields are automatically adjusted, and MAC tags are recalculated accordingly. In order to keep backward compatibility with WireGuard, S1 and S2 must be set to 0. Obfuscation Packets I1-I5 (Signature Chain) & CPS (Custom Protocol Signature) (compatibility with WireGuard: partial, with fallback) Before initiating a "special" handshake (every 120 seconds), the client may send up to five different UDP packets fully described by the user in the CPS format. In this way AmneziaWG can mimic perfectly QUIC, DNS and other protocols adding powerful methods to circumvent blocks. QUIC is particularly interesting as HTTP/3 is built on it and currently, from Chrome and other compatible browsers, 50% of traffic to/from Google is QUIC traffic. Therefore, blocking QUIC may have major disruptions for any ISP. Junk‑train (Jc) (compatibility with WireGuard: YES) Immediately following the sequence of I-packets, a series Jc of pseudorandom packets with lengths varying between Jmin and Jmax is sent. These packets blur the timing and size profile of the session start, significantly complicating handshake detection. Under‑Load Packet (compatibility with WireGuard: YES) In WireGuard, a special keep-alive packet (“Under-Load”) is used to bypass NAT timeouts. AmneziaWG replaces its fixed header with a randomized one, the value of which can be set manually. This prevents DPI from filtering short ping packets, ensuring stable tunnel connections, especially on mobile networks. How to use Eddie with AmneziaWG To enable AmneziaWG mode, just tap the connection mode available in the main and other views. It will rotate between WireGuard, AmneziaWG and OpenVPN. Set it to AmneziaWG. In its default AmneziaWG mode, Eddie will use all the possible obfuscation, except protocol mimicking, that keeps WireGuard compatibility, thus allowing connections to AirVPN servers. The default settings choice was possible thanks to the invaluable support of persons living in countries where VPN blocks are widespread. Such settings have been tested as working and capable to bypass the current blocking methods in various countries. You may consider to modify them if they are ineffective to bypass "your" specific blocks. In Settings > Advanced, you will find, at the bottom of the page, a new "Custom Amnezia WG directives" item. By tapping it you will summon a dialog that will let you customize any possible AmneziaWG parameter. You can maintain backward compatibility with WireGuard in the dialog WireGuard section, or enable the full AmneziaWG support in the Amnezia section, which is not compatible (at the moment) with AirVPN WireGuard servers. This mode will be mostly valuable in a not distant future, when AirVPN servers will start to support AmneziaWG natively. You may also enable QUIC or DNS mimicking for additional obfuscation efficacy. In order to maintain WireGuard backward compatibility, with or without QUIC or DNS mimicking, you must set: S1 = S2 = 0 Hn ∈ {1, 2, 3, 4} H1 ≠ H2 ≠ H3 ≠ H4 Furthermore, do not exceed the valid limit of the J parameters (anyway Eddie will not let you do it). In this preview version, Eddie's formal control of the input data is based on the following document. We strongly recommend you read it if you need to modify manually parameters: https://github.com/amnezia-vpn/amneziawg-linux-kernel-module?tab=readme-ov-file#configuration Please do not modify In parameters if you don't know exactly what you're doing. Eddie implements QUIC and DNS mimicking and random obfuscation packets for each specific "I" parameter (by using the corresponding "Generate" button). You can enable them with a tap on the proper buttons. You may mimic QUIC and DNS even to connect to WireGuard based servers. When you enable QUIC mimicking and you maintain WireGuard backward compatibility, you add a powerful tool against blocks, because the first packets will be actual QUIC packets. AmneziaWG will fall back to WireGuard compatibility very soon. However, when DPI and SPI tools, and demultiplexers in general, identify the initial QUIC flow, most of them will be unable to detect a WireGuard flow for several minutes. This has been tested thoroughly with deep packet inspection on Linux and FreeBSD based machines by AirVPN staff. Therefore, in different blocking scenarios the QUIC mimicking increases likelihood of successful block bypass. NOTE: the same does not happen with DNS mimicking. In this case DPI / SPI tools identify the stream initially as DNS, but are much quicker (just in a few dozens of packets) to identify the stream as WireGuard's, after the initial DNS identification. How to use Eddie in network where the "bootstrap" servers can not be reached Eddie downloads user and infrastructure data, essential to use the service, from special "bootstrap servers" through an encrypted flow inside HTTP. If the bootstrap servers are blocked or the underlying protocol to port 80 is filtered out, Eddie is unable to proceed. Starting from this Eddie 4 version, the ability to retrieve such data locally has been added. Whenever bootstrap servers are unreachable, Eddie can read the latest available local data to connect to a VPN server. Once connected the bootstrap servers are again reachable and the local data are immediately updated for future usage. The local data remain valid as long as you don't need to change user. On top of all of the above, Eddie can now retrieve such data through the login procedure that now can be started even when a connection to a VPN server was previously established via a profile. Therefore, when you are in a restrictive network that blocks access to bootstrap servers, you can connect through a profile generated by AirVPN web site Configuration Generator. After this first connection, log your account in to the service by selecting the specific option on the left pane, enter your AirVPN account credentials as usual and make sure that Remember me checkbox is ticked: Eddie will download all the necessary files and store them locally. This procedure is "once and for all", at least as long as you don't need to change account. After this initial connection, Eddie will be able to log your account in to the infrastructure, retrieve servers data and establish connections without profiles and without bootstrap servers, offering again full AirVPN integration even when bootstrap servers are unreachable. Only If you change account you must repeat the procedure.

While I love that you continue to support OpenVPN would you please reconsider a few WireGuard‑only 10–20 Gbit servers to quantify the uplift for users who prioritize raw speed and low latency? It’s my understanding that OpenVPN server processes are single‑threaded and CPU‑intensive. Co‑hosting OpenVPN and WireGuard on the same high‑capacity host (10–20 Gbit) can constrain aggregate throughput under load because per‑core bottlenecks caps per‑host headroom when many OpenVPN clients are active. In cities where you have multiple 20 Gbit servers like New York dedicating one to Wireguard doesn't seem unreasonable? Thank you for your consideration.

Hello! Yes. The kernel already does a wonderful job to distribute fairly bandwidth, aided by the excellent ability to scale of WireGuard. OpenVPN is a little more problematic but we force a round robin distribution of peers on different instances to balance core load. Where a limit must be enforced artificially is in the amount of concurrent connections INSIDE the tunnel. Normally we allow the maximum amount supported by a powerful home router, i.e. 20000 concurrent connections per node. This limit is usually not even noticed by the users as it is well beyond the usage of virtually all of our user base. Kind regards

No, take it away.

It's mostly M247 with some others sprinkled all around, like Netrouting, Leaseweb, etc.

Absolutely stay with qbittorrent. It still functions perfectly well on MacOS, and you can still bind it to the VPN to avoid leaks which you cannot do with other clients.

as far as i know its all leased after stringent vetting process. servers have been discontinued at times in places which the safety and quality can't be reasonably assured.

We have kept the OP message to show the pervasiveness of the PRC's propaganda lackeys. We consider Taiwan (Republic of China) to be independent and autonomous from the PRC (People's Republic of China), as it is in fact. ipleak uses MaxMind and IANA databases to display results, and we are pleased that these are aligned with an anti-imperialist and democratic vision that is clearly unpalatable to the dictatorial regime of the PRC, which sees it as an obstacle to its expansionist ambitions.

Hello! You could split the traffic of the application you run to access CS2 or Steam (a browser and/or a dedicated game client, we don't know). All the traffic of the system would continue flowing into the VPN tunnel except the specific Steam related applications traffic. While no trivial solution is available for macOS at the moment (you could consider virtualization), on Linux you can achieve app traffic splitting with the AirVPN Suite 2, on Windows with WireSock, on Android with Eddie Android edition. Kind regards
