Hello! We're glad to inform you that we have just released: "Road To OpenVPN 2.6" migration plan - https://airvpn.org/road_to_openvpn26/ A new version of Config Generator with options related to OpenVPN 2.6 A new Eddie Desktop beta release (2.23.0) related to the road above, feature-locked to reach stable release https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/56428-eddie-desktop-223-beta-released/ - NOTE: Eddie 2.23 is now obsolete, please upgrade to 2.24 or 2.25 preview versions. Similarly, OpenVPN 2.3 and older versions support will be dropped when DCO migration enters its final stage. A new server (Marsic), the first running OpenVPN 2.6 powered by DCO (server-side) and ready for client-side DCO. UPDATE 2026-03-12 After careful evaluation and considering that: DCO for OpenVPN 2.6 is now considered obsolete the new DCO is aimed at OpenVPN 2.7 only DCO kernel module is included on mainline Linux kernel starting from 6.16 AirVPN VPN infrastructure is based on kernel 6.12 and OpenVPN 2.6 (typical setup of Debian 13, RHEL 10 etc.) OpenVPN usage declined dramatically: today only 24% of connections are based on OpenVPN, and the decline continues at a steady pace the combination of WireGuard and AmneziaWG is more effective than OpenVPN over TCP at bypassing blocks valuable packet payload padding (against encrypted traffic pattern analysis) is offered by AmneziaWG and not DCO: the plan has been momentarily frozen. It can be re-activated when the VPN infrastructure moves to kernel 6.16 (or higher version) and OpenVPN 2.7. Our priority goes to wider AmneziaWG support, on the client software first and then on the server side too (important especially for padding). UPDATE 2026-06-03 We're very glad to inform you that OpenVPN DCO deployment entered its final stage. DCO module and OpenVPN 2.7 are being deployed on all VPN servers. We discarded DCO for OpenVPN 2.6 and aimed at offering OpenVPN 2.7 + DCO directly. As announced in 2023, when DCO was in an embryonic state, we confirm that DCO support implies necessarily end of AES-CBC cipher support, both on Data and Control Channel, because the DCO module does not support it. AES-CBC support, even as a fallback only, would casue the OpenVPN daemons to de-activate DCO globally. Please make sure you run an OpenVPN version that can support AES-GCM on both channels, typically OpenVPN 2.4 or higher versions, linked against an SSL library that includes AES-GCM / CHACHA20-POLY1305 support. UPDATE 2026-10-27 The migration is complete: all AirVPN VPN servers now run OpenVPN 2.7 with the DCO kernel module. The default profile of the Configuration Generator is now DCO compatible. It uses only AEAD ciphers (AES-GCM, CHACHA20-POLY1305) on the Data Channel and no longer contains any compression directive. Continent, country and server selection work with every profile. The OpenVPN profile menu (Advanced) now offers "Default (OpenVPN 2.5 or higher)", "Default without DCO (OpenVPN 2.6 or higher)" and "OpenVPN 2.4". The "2.6 DCO" entry mentioned in the previous update no longer exists, because every server supports DCO. If your OpenVPN client warns that 'comp-lzo' was deprecated (for example Tunnelblick with OpenVPN 2.7), simply generate your configuration files again with default settings. Clarification to the previous update: the AES-CBC restriction applies to the Data Channel, which is the part handled by DCO. OpenVPN 2.3 and older versions can no longer connect. If your device is stuck on an old OpenVPN version (for example an old router or NAS firmware), please consider WireGuard, supported on all our servers. The page https://airvpn.org/road_to_openvpn26/ has been rewritten as "OpenVPN 2.7 and DCO": advantages of DCO, compatibility, Configuration Generator, client-side notes for Linux, Windows and FreeBSD / pfSense / OPNsense, and how to check whether DCO is in use.

Hi. Any plans for Eddie PC edition + AmneziaWG ?

Hello! We're very glad to announce that Eddie Android edition 4.0.0 beta 2 is now available. New: 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 Eddie 4 beta 2 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. New: "Open with..." option added to "Export" option Different Android versions allow management of files with different restrictions. Different apps may support different intents on specific Android versions. To enlarge total compatibility, now Eddie offers two different options to export and manage files, including generated profiles. You will find the usual "Share" option (note: now renamed into "Export") coupled with a new "Open with..." option. Some apps support only one intent, other apps only specific intents on specific Android versions, and so on. By adding this option Eddie enlarges considerably the amount of apps you will be able to open and/or share files with. New: AmneziaWG parameters range validity AmneziaWG parameter range validity has been documented in three different ways (official web site, GitHub documentation files, and developers comment) and the web site documentation that it's still official is in reality not aligned with the source code. The new parameters range validation adopted by Eddie 4.0.0 beta 2 is based now on GitHub latest documentation integrated by source code analysis. The original message of this thread has been updated accordingly. You will find on it the new download link and checksum, as well as detailed Amnezia description. If you decide to test, please report at your convenience any bug and problem in this thread. If possible generate a report from the app in a matter of seconds: by tapping the paper plane icon on the Log view bar rightmost side you will generate a full system report which will include both log and logcat and have it sent to our servers. Then you just need to send us the link the app shows you (open a ticket if you prefer to do it in private). Kind regards & datalove AirVPN Staff

Yes. This is because the ISP has blocked the boot server. Please open the ticket to obtain the private boot server from the staff, or wait for the subsequent Android version update. It is said that in the subsequent version, the login information will be saved locally. Then, there will be no need to log in every time. Just log in once and you can use it as before, just like the computer version.

So i still can't reach airvpn servers in .Ru for logging in from my phone. Here is what i have: I can use airvpn from my PC, found a solution, but there is no such configuration for a phone. I try amnezia in the same networtk via wifi and can't even log in. But works fine if i start other vpn and open airvpn app, i get my subscriprion plan and other information. Should i ask support for private workaround solution?

Thank you! Please use the Configuration Generator. Turn on the "Advanced" switch. Generate a file with the Configuration Generator for WireGuard for the server or country you want to test. Download the file and edit it with any text editor. To begin with, add these parameters in the [Interface] section: Jc = 20 Jmin = 50 Jmax = 1000 S1 = 0 S2 = 0 H1 = 3 H2 = 1 H3 = 4 H4 = 2 Import the file into your PC AmneziaWG client, or use it with the AirVPN Suite component Hummingbird, and even in Eddie 4.0.0 (you can do it in the "VPN profiles" view once the file is in your Android device) and use it to test a connection in Amnezia mode. If it fails please try a connection directly from Eddie, without profile, in Amnezia WG. If it fails too enable QUIC mimicking in "Settings" > "Advanced" > "Custom AmneziaWG directives" and test again a connection. Keep us posted! Kind regards

Anyway I understand your position, no problem. Like Russians say "Сытый голодного не разумеет" ("the well-fed does never understand the hungry").

You know, it's sort of sad to think that you must fall into the darkness just because you are not belonging to the "overwhelming majority of the world". China, Russia, Belarus, Venezuela, Turkmenistan, Egypt, Turkey. Who's next? I know we are all the "third world" but we are people and want the information! If no one will lend us a hand from the greater world, where life is still okay, we won't ever make it out of the darkness.
