Hello! We're very glad to inform you that a new 10 Gbit/s full duplex server located in Denver (CO), USA, is available: Torcular. The AirVPN client will show automatically the new server; if you use any other OpenVPN or WireGuard client you can generate all the files to access it through our configuration/certificates/key generator (menu "Client Area"->"Config generator"). The server accepts connections on ports 53, 80, 443, 1194, 2018 UDP and TCP for OpenVPN and ports 1637, 47107 and 51820 UDP for WireGuard. Torcular supports 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 . Do not hesitate to contact us for any information or issue. Kind regards & datalove AirVPN Staff

Hello! We're very glad to inform you that AirVPN Suite 2.0.0 Release Candidate 1 for Linux is now available. The original post link is updated to show the new download URLs. The important differences from beta 5 are: a bug causing a crash when nft error messages exceeded a definite size has been fully addressed Bluetit features additional pause and re-connection attempts aimed at facilitating re-connection at system resume after suspension and other situations Please note that from now on compatibility with Debian 10 and its derivatives, that reached end of long term support and end of life on June 2024, is lost even for the legacy version, mainly because the Suite is now C++20 compliant. The legacy version remains suitable for Debian 11 and its derivatives. Kind regards

Hello! We're sorry to inform you that, due to inadmissible requests from provider Contabo, which demanded the blocking of p2p-related protocols, we have decommissioned Mesarthim server in Germany. The infrastructure in Gemany remains oversized, also thanks to the recent addition of 10 Gbit/s line and server. Kind regards AirVPN Staff

Hello! A very important update which improves the system dramatically has been finalized. Now you don't have to worry anymore about pools and p2p programs. Find the new features in the original message. The paragraphs that do not apply anymore appear with strike through characters. The new system is simpler, fully scalable and with zero impact on current and future users. Enjoy AirVPN! Kind regards & datalove AirVPN Staff

It's Google and their re-captcha response to bots. You need to use a YouTube front-end, like Invidious or Piped. This instance is working for me currently, but it may not work for long. possible workaround

Hello! We're very glad to inform you that Hummingbird 2.0.0 beta 1 for macOS (Mojave or higher version required) is available. Different native versions for Intel and M1/M2 based Mac computers are available for maximum performance. UPDATE 2025-04-05: Hummingbird 2.0.0 beta 5 for macOS is available UPDATE 2025-04-16: Hummingbird 2.0.0 Release Candidate 1 for macOS is available Hummingbird is free and open source released under GPLv3: https://gitlab.com/AirVPN/AirVPN-Suite Main features Lightweight and stand alone binary client supporting both OpenVPN and WireGuard No heavy framework required, no GUI Small RAM footprint Lightning fast Based on OpenVPN 3 library fork by AirVPN and WireGuard Robust leaks prevention through Network Lock based on pf Proper handling of DNS push by VPN servers New, more flexible Network Lock What's new linked against OpenVPN3-AirVPN 3.11 library all libraries and dependencies have been updated added complete WireGuard support by means of the official WireGuard tools provided by its developers. Installation of wg and wireguard-go binaries is currently required, as WireGuard library is not available on macOS. Please check the user's manual (README.md file included in the packages) WireGuard support section for comfortable, step by step instructions. new Network Lock related options offering more flexibility. Now you can accept or deny incoming, outgoing or both ICMP-echo packets, and independently you can permit or forbid IPv6 NDP, which is based on ICMPv6. The new options supported by Hummingbird (please check the readme file for additional details) are: --allow-ping --allow-ipv6ndp Apple ARM based systems version is now C++20 compliant (required by Sequoia) Important note for high speed line users Because of some architectural specifications and implementation in macOS Hummingbird may warn the user about shortage of buffer space, specifically when connected with the UDP. This condition is signaled by Hummingbird with the below messages in the log: UDP send exception: send: No buffer space available ERROR: NETWORK_SEND_ERROR The error is caused by the maximum network sockets size set in macOS, a value usually small and unsuited for modern high speed networks. The solution consists in increasing the maximum allowed size for socket buffers and, in case the problem persists, the number of mbuf clusters. The procedure is simple, please find out all the details in the manual. Open the README.md file with any viewer and consult the "Note on macOS and UDP" section.

I got referred to AirVPN thru a reddit post because I was unhappy with NordVPN. I'm a network architect and I am thoroughly impressed by AirVPN. OpenVPN and Wireguard options with an intuitive VPN client to boot that had me up and seeding over rates 95MB/s in under 5 minutes. Best 99 euros I've spent this year. Keep up the stellar work, you created a fanboy in me, and I am not easily impressed.

Hello! We're very glad to inform you that AirVPN Suite 2.0.0 beta 5 for Linux is now available. The original post link is updated to show the new download URLs. This is an extensive bug fix version addressing all the issues reported ever since beta 4 was released and with the addition of new Network Lock related options offering more flexibility. Now you can accept or deny incoming, outgoing or both ICMP-echo packets, and independently you can permit or forbid IPv6 NDP, which is based on ICMPv6. The new options supported by Bluetit and Hummingbird are: allowping [on | off | input | output], default: output allowipv6ndp [on | off], default: on The Goldcrest and Hummingbird corresponding options are: --allow-ping --allow-ipv6ndp with the very same possible values and default settings. EDIT: BUG/error: the Hummingbird default value of allow-ping is "on" - please take note! It will be fixed in the next version. Please check the changelogs for each application included in the packages to see all the changes in detail. Kind regards and datalove AirVPN Staff

Hi Team, It would be great if the Estonia server's bandwidth capacity could be boosted or maybe an extra server could be deployed as it seems like the server has had high load lately.

Hello! A momentary outage of the datacenter (or part of it) that lasted for approximately 3 hours 42 minutes. You can also check the servers monitor to see all the details (click a server name to see specific server stats). https://airvpn.org/status Kind regards

Sorry, what do you want to say?

Hello! The failure probably comes from the fact that Eddie service can be installed only on systemd based systems. MX Linux by default uses SysVInit, according to the documentation. We deliver the AirVPN Suite for Linux that supports SysVInit too. In the Suite, Bluetit is a daemon that can run both on SysVInit and systemd based systems. If you are interested: https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/66706-linux-airvpn-suite-200-preview-available/ Kind regards

Congrats to RC1! As someone who has used Hummingbird a few years back and then switched to Eddie for Wireguard Support, I am tempted to go back to Hummingbird when v2 is being released, as it now includes WireGuard as well - great news. Just a minor thing: instead of mentioning availability for "M1/M2" based Macs, I would maybe change the wording to "Apple Silicone" or "Apple ARM" in general (writing this on my M4 MacBook). It might be a little confusing to some users when only certain M* chips are mentioned in the description.

Hello! We're very glad to inform you that Hummingbird 2.0.0 Release Candidate 1 is now available for macOS, both for Intel and M1/M2/M3 based systems. The links to the latest RC 1 and the main changes have been updated in the first message of this thread. This version differs from beta 5 for some updates on the OpenVPN3-AirVPN library. Besides, the M1/M2/M3 version is now C++20 compliant. Kind regards

Seems like Estonia desperately needs a bump on the servers, damn 2.3/2

Thank you , is working now. Thanks for your work

with openSUSE 15.6 it seems ok now. also with goldcrest. good work. 😀

Short answer: use three different "VPN devices" (in the Client Area) when generating the three configs.

I'm gonna try this.

Hello! Yes, there has been intensive work behind the scenes to fix some tricky bugs and improve the implementation of specific parts (special thanks to beta testers behind the scenes). The next beta version, or perhaps the first Release Candidate, is scheduled for the very first days of April. Kind regards

It's on the specs page: If you decide, despite the note about its usefulness, that you want to use DoT, enter dns.airservers.org there. Be advised that this also means that DNS resolution will only work if the respective Wireguard connection to AirVPN is enabled and active.

Hello! In the last 12 months it appears that Singapore datacenters are "cursed": a major fiber cut, various server hardware failures (now Hydra motherboard is gone, for example), various power outages... We operate servers in two separate datacenters, we will assess the situation in the near future. Kind regards

The front-end instance I posted earlier has a free sign-up, no email address required. Any random username / password will do. Then, complete a simple captcha related to analog time, and you're good for the session. It's not perfect but it's better than continuously hunting for serviceable Piped instances (or other front-end options that may or may not work). It appears likely Google has begun targeting VPN IP addresses and forcing logins; I doubt this issue is exclusive to Air servers.

Hello! This is correct and fine, very well. Geo-location can be finalized not only through IP address, but also through other methods such as cellular and Wi-Fi networks evaluation (a technique used by HTML5 geo-location method for example), GPS, language and time zone cross-checked with other info. In some circumstances it can indeed weaken your anonymity layer and in general harm your privacy so we recommend that you disable HTML5 geo-location on the browser(s), and turn off GPS on the equipped devices when not needed and when connected to the VPN. For Android, our software Eddie Android edition features a GPS coordinates spoofing option (disabled by default) which comes handy in some circumstances. When this option is enabled, Eddie spoofs the coordinates determined via GPS and make them match with the location of the AirVPN server the device is connected to. Kind regards

Hello! Yes, that's correct. The amount of devices that can connect is unlimited, the limit is that no more than 5 can be connected at the same time. Router or any computer sharing the VPN connection and acting as a 'hot spot' counts as ONE device in any case. The intermittence of the problem is enigmatic, unless it is caused by a browser which does not block HTML5 geo-location. Are those mobile device and LG TV both connecting to your router and share the VPN connection? Is your "real" IP address (the public IP address assigned by your residential ISP to you) ever shown, or is the problem limited to the location? Kind regards

Hello! Very good, if that's the case then even the "LG problem" would be solved. Let us know how it goes with Stremio and online gaming. Kind regards

Hello! We don't play competitive or online games so you need to ask for reports from those who do: https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/46019-is-airvpn-suitable-for-gaming/?do=findComment&comment=244500 https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/46019-is-airvpn-suitable-for-gaming/?do=findComment&comment=244813 The above ones are very recent reports but of course each case is different due to ISP policy, routing, peering with our transit providers... also consider that while online gaming consumes a tiny amount of bandwidth and the main variable you want to monitor is the round trip time (a ping time as low as possible), streaming games is on another level (in this last case, you should connect only to 10 Gbit/s servers in our infrastructure). You can consider to ask for a free trial (through a ticket), test the service, and report back your gaming experience on the above thread. While most VPN for consumers advertise their service as "good for gaming" for valid reasons such as protection against DDoS attacks (the attack would involve the VPN server and not your own IP address which is not exposed to other malicious players exploiting game vulnerabilities for attacking strongest players and getting an unfair advantage, or just to disclose the public IP address for more sinister purposes) and access to different regional servers, we don't do it because each case is different. It is not possible to say for sure that competitive gaming via VPN is suitable for everyone, from every line and ISP. Also consider that while gaming via VPN is typically allowed by most games, some games forbid it when it causes regional licensing problems (you may access the game from a region which is not allowed or from which you should have paid more to join, etc.). No problems for torrents of course. We do not have any direct experience with Stremio but we can confirm that it is accessible and usable, according to many reports of our customers, from our VPN servers. If you do not want to buy another router or modify your 7530ax, you can anyway count on the five connections slots included in any subscription. So you can connect up to five devices at the same time (the router would always count as one, no matter how many devices are connected to it), but the LG TV would remain excluded: as far as we know LG TV can not run directly WireGuard or OpenVPN. Kind regards

If the 7530 is your router and you really like to tinker, Freetz can be used to install OpenVPN and iptables. At the same time you must get rid of some AVM tech through the Freetz config (for example, starting with Fritz!OS 5.x there's the AVM PA which ships its own versions of common Linux kernel network libs, rendering iptables useless for OpenVPN's use case; but if PA is not there you might get degraded performance). The recommendation shall be to connect a different *Wrt-capable router to the 7530 (OpenWRT, DD-WRT, AsusWrt, etc.), configure OpenVPN/Wireguard on that and henceforth connect all your devices to it. No other features than DSL and maybe telephony will be used on the Fritz!Box. Well, I think yes? Not familiar with that service. Subjective. Put it to the test with various servers, ports and protocols and see what works best. But in general, I strongly recommend against competitive gaming via VPN. Not only because you artificially increase the latency, but you also paint a big mark on your back saying "watch me closely, I'm probably up to no good".

OK, I'm sure others have already done this but I figured out how to use Plex's system with pool 2 and that is by putting the "https://pool 2 external IP:external port" into the custom server access url option in the network settings for the plex server.

@Tubular Thanks for the relevant log and output. We have two overlapping problems here. One is caused by the translations between iptables and nftables (only when ufw is enabled, otherwise nftables usage is consistent and translations never enter into play). This is quickly resolved by not enabling ufw, as you noticed. The other problem is that when a session is over Eddie restores an old /etc/resolv.conf backup created in the past by Eddie 2.21.8: # Generated by Eddie v2.21.8 - https://eddie.website - Tuesday, January 14, 2025 3:36:48 PM UTC nameserver 10.<cut> The above is wrong and it could be the consequence of some old Eddie 2.21.8 dirty status caused by a crash. For the new Eddie the above file is the normal system setting to restore at the end of a session, so Eddie will make your system unable to resolve names when your system is not connected to the VPN. Please shut down Eddie, edit /etc/resolv.conf with any text editor (root privileges required) and enter only publicly available name servers, for example Quad9 (we recommend it for privacy and neutrality commitment). An example: nameserver 9.9.9.9 nameserver 149.112.112.112 nameserver 2620:fe::fe # only if your system, router and ISP support IPv6 Save the file, re-start Eddie, connect to some VPN server, shut down Eddie and verify whether the problem is solved. Kind regards

Hi, I need step by step help to setup VPN client mode on a TP-LINK Archer AX20, with OpenVPN protocol. I have already purchased subscription and created 2 ports. I need to bypass CGNAT and port forward my security system to be able to access it from anywhere. I have already create a router file but it can't connect. I need to know if my router is 100% compatible with your service and can be setup for remote access to my security system. Thank you in advance.

Additional article which resolved any problem for a couple of customers: https://community.ui.com/questions/Port-Forwarding-from-VPN-Interface/7099072b-d3d6-46a6-a3f7-e403f6c00849#answer/17f3676b-c144-4beb-a1e7-9313716945c9 Kind regards

Hello! Please run Eddie, enable Network Lock, connect to a VPN server, disconnect from that VPN server, disable Network Lock and then send us: a system report generated by Eddie https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/50663-youve-been-asked-for-a-support-filesystem-report-–-heres-what-to-do/ the output of "sudo nft list ruleset" the output of "sudo iptables-save" the output of "sudo ufw status" the output of "cat /etc/resolv.conf" In general, since Mint packet filtering platform is based on nftables, you should keep ufw disabled (the default setting in Mint 21.x) to avoid various clashes caused by translations forced by the hybrid usage of iptables-legacy (ufw works only with iptables, not with nftables) and nft. Kind regards

Sounds like you are making great progress, congrats! It sounds to me like everything is working as it should now, so we need to either: reset your expectations and correct your assumptions, or have you communicate why you think something should work a certain way or what your goals are. Putting your first and third posts together, it sounds like you expect to see the WebGUI on multiple ports. Can you explain why you would want that? I'm not going to say you couldn't engineer that, but I'm going to challenge your thinking here. Let's assume your machine has a local network static IP of 10.77.77.42; you access the WebGUI with http://10.77.77.42:8082 right? Why do you need additional access on port 27586? Are you trying to admin qBittorrent from outside your network? You haven't stated that before which is why I ask. Many users are uncomfortable exposing their WebGUI to the world, so you need to be clear that this is your desire (and secure it with https before doing so!). How many ports do you have forwarded from AirVPN? Are ports 8082 and 27586 in pool #2 (saving pool #1 ports for P2P users is the goal here)? Your line "FIREWALL_VPN_INPUT_PORTS=8082,27586,27587" isn't going to work unless all three of those ports are forwarded from AirVPN. I believe the most common use case is to only forward the torrenting port from pool #1 (27587) keeping the WebGUI port just for local network use. Lets check your devices to ensure they are not an issue. When you go to the devices screen have you set up a device? Then in the ports screen is that device linked to the port (in the dropdown)? And when making your config file did you select that device? When working correctly, the sessions screen should list your device at the top of the card when connected.

It would probably be faster for everyone to simply show you my stack: # This is a P2P demonstration stack template which has been tested to work well with AirVPN as of January 2025. # Use AirVPN's config generator to obtain your specific values (https://airvpn.org/generator).

I've made a Linux shell script for batch-conversion of WireGuard .conf files making them AmneziaWG (awg) compatible: https://github.com/zimbabwe303/awg_conf_patch When patching it shuffles the H1..4 parameters; to re-shuffle you can just re-run it over the same files again. It also can shorten .conf file names generated with the AirVPN config generator to facilitate their usage with the 3rd-party smartphone WireGuard clients such as WG Tunnel (which uses AmneziaWG instead of the vanilla WireGuard).

If IP address changes, wireguard will not use the new IP address. yggdrasil may do, but I haven't tested yggdrasil with dynamic dns. Tailscale, netbird, and netmaker work around wireguard's inability to keep track of changing IP addresses.

Hi there, I really love your service and will renew with the next big sale event. Being able to pay with crypto currencies is a must in the industry nowadays I find. I am glad you accept a variety of different currencies, especially Monero. Bitcoin payments are oftentimes prohibitively expensive due to high mining fees to get into the next block. Also they can take a long time if the mempool is overflowing with unprocessed transactions. It would be great if you could also accept payments over the lightning network which makes transactions instant and final for you, basically free for me to send and my service can be instantly activated instead of having to wait a certain amount for blocks to be mined. Integrating lightning payments is easy, free and secure. And even comes with some privacy improvements over regular Bitcoin transactions, so that nobody knows who paid you. please consider adding lightning support to make paying with Bitcoin cheaper, faster and more private while also reducing the load on the main blockchain. Resources like BTCpay Server make it easy to accept lightning payments along regular on-chain transactions all without a third party. Thank you so much, I am looking forward to opening a channel to you ! ☺️

Don't have anything bad to say, was just surprised it's been 11 years. Joined when no cap VPN's weren't that common. Now things are different you get VPN's for free however nothing comes to close to what Air VPN provides. Here's to another endless years. If things go well, I would probably be the last user to leave. ❤️ keep being awesome.

Hi, yeah no worries since I am only going to use one connection I can still use this port or I will just request another port for a different device? Anyhow this is the fixed config...

Let's be clear. French web isn't closed, we can consult foreign websites unlike in North Corea, Russia or China. Name me any propagandized country who allows his people to consult other medias. Telling we wouldn't see anything is insulting our intelligence. Why don't we talk about US government who wants to ban TikTok, like Huawei and many others ? The difference between Rumble in France and Tiktok in US is pretty simple. Tiktok didn't boke US laws so the government had to find excuses related to "national security". Rumble hosts prohibit contents according french and european laws. France asked to Rumble to remove these contents (accounts belonging to russian medias doing disinformation (these medias are not only banned in France but also in whole Europe), to far right ppl, etc...). In France you're not allowed to publish anti-semitic speech in front of a nazi flag and that's normal. Sorry to tell you but it's the only truth, there's no conspiracy theory in this affair.

No, the graphics card didn't limit internet speed. I just inadvertently found the solution to that while trying to find out why my graphics card wasn't using its full resources while gaming. In the graphics card help post ( link above) I found the passage on "Windows Power Management Setting for PCI Express" was what had slowed not just my graphics card but my whole PC down. My CPU very rarely ran at its full 3750MHZ but mostly between 1200-2200MHZ. When I switched the "Link State Power Management" off as shown above suddenly my PC is much faster overall including my internet and broadband connection and my VPN connection goes from 250Mbps to near 600Mbps D/L compared to a regular 800+Mbps D/L without using aVPN.

For a few months now my PC has seemed slower in all aspects. I had put it down to it being an 8 years old desktop still running Windows 10. Also my 1G broadband connection although giving 850Mbps when not using AirVPN reduced to between 250-320Mbps when connected to AirVPN. Last Thursday I happened on this thread https://graphicscardhub.com/low-gpu-usage/ while researching why my graphics card an NVIDIA GeForce GTX1080 had stopped using its max power when using Handbrake and also my game of Elite Dangerous had started stuttering in certain situations. I found the cause and the solution for me in the section in Quotes below. On following the instructions I found my graphics card started working properly again and as an added bonus when I next started AirVPN I found that my download speed had now jumped up to 550-660Mbps and this has remained steady since. At 74 I am not as PC savvy as many so perhaps this can be another cause of slow speeds and wrongly blaming Virgin for bottlenecking etc. As my graphics card worked fine previously I am pretty sure that one of the Windows Updates in the last year or so must have caused this slowdown, likely another example of Microsoft meddling. Anyway hope this helps someone else having slowdowns.

If Wireguard scales and allows full use of server bandwidth, had you considered Wireguard only servers? Seems like that would make sense at least on the 10G so as not to waste so much capacity?

Hello everyone, I am a new user of AirVPN, tried searching for tutorials in youtube, tutorials in google, reddit, searched inside the community forums, but I cannot find two simple things: 1- The manual for how to use Eddie. 2- A button inside Eddie to change my connection from OpenVPN to Wireguard. When I go to the Protocols section on the Preferences menu inside Eddie, there is a checkbox saying "Automatic". But checking or unchecking the checkbox just changes the grayed-out color of the table, but I can't click, right-click, double-click or do anything to "activate" the wireguard protocol. Would anyone help me and answer these two questions? I am using Debian Bullseye. Thanks in advance.

Hello I have been using Airvpn for gaming (unlock voice-chat) for almost 2 years now. It works great. it adds around 5 to 10 latency only, and the best thing is. There are no ping spikes at all. Nevertheless, you can get the free trail for 3 days and try the vpn with your game.

You can use the route checking page: https://airvpn.org/routes/

qBittorrent is awesome. In Options/Connection, fill in the port you forwarded in AirVPN Uncheck "Use UPnP" Unhceck "Use different port on each startup" In Options/BitTorrent, Check Enable DHT" Uncheck "Use a different port for DHT and BitTorrent" Check Enable Peer Exchange (PeX) Check Enable Local Peer Discovery (optional, based on seranecks post below) Encryption Mode: Prefer encryption Uncheck Enable anonymous mode Uncheck Torrent Queueing (my preference - use the entire ISP pipe for concurrent torrenting) In Options/Advanced, ensure the "Network Interface" is set to "tun0" so it will exclusively use the AirVPN Tunnel. (if on Windows, find the Local Area Connection number that references your tunnel adapter. You can find this out by going to a command prompt, running ipconfig /all, and look for the adapter with the 10.x address). Restart qBittorrent, and you should be good to go.
