Why do AirVPN DNS servers hate the website usps.com so much? At first, I couldn’t figure out why I could load usps.com on my FreeBSD machine but not on my Android smartphone. Then I realized that, on FreeBSD, the DNS fallback mechanism configured in /etc/resolv.conf was causing a DNS leak: usps.com would load in Chromium because my ISP’s DNS servers were being used. I had to make sure that resolv.conf was automatically configured to use AirVPN DNS first and, from now on, to fall back to Cloudflare DNS or Google DNS instead of my ISP’s DNS. But I’m curious: why can’t AirVPN DNS resolve usps.com?

Hii, i have a question about what servers to use, is it safe to use the American servers for better speed without worrying about my ISP dinging me or sending me any letters? I do have AirVPN bound to qBittorrent properly, at least im pretty sure i do. ;_; (settings>advanced>network interface set to Eddie) Thank you very much for any answers ❤️

Or use this in-depth article on binding. https://wispydocs.pages.dev/torrenting/

Hey, see this guide on how to bind your Qbittorrent client. It uses the example of proton VPN, but it is almost the same for AirVPN. Binding is super important. https://protonvpn.com/support/bittorrent-vpn#how-to-bind-the-client-to-the-proton-vpn-interface

Tysm!!! I haven't used any torrent clients since i was like 10 and very ill informed. I want to be as safe as possible so thank you again for your answer!!!

Your ISP can't see any more when you use servers in USA than they can if you use servers outside USA. But that's all assuming your setup doesn't leak as you've tried to prevent by binding qbit to the VPN interface. If you do leak, your ISP will ding you no matter what server you use. Nothing magical about using servers outside USA.

Hello! We're very glad to inform you that six new 10 Gbit/s full duplex servers located in Manchester and London (UK) are available: Amansinaya, Arber, Baiduri (London), Bubup, Cebo, Caophraya (Manchester). The first three mentioned servers are located in London, the other ones in Manchester. This addition replaces any previous UK 1 Gbit/s server in order to upgrade the whole UK infrastructure to 10 Gbit/s only servers, with per server 10 Gbit/s dedicated lines and ports, and modern hardware as announced here: https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/79154-uk-infrastructure-upgrade-to-10-gbits-full-duplex/ 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 . Click a server name to display specific server stats. Do not hesitate to contact us for any information or issue.

Hello, I just did read about Proton VPN increasing it efficiency on blocking ads and trackers Is this something you can implement also?

Besides, different matching methods are available for your additions and exceptions: Exact (exact FQDN), Domain (domain and its subdomains), Wildcard (with * and ? as wildcards), Contain, Start with, End with. Kind regards
