My personal thread summary: .

My goodness, I didn't expect my post to be the basis of a new thread about morality objective reality, the right to privacy, dopamine fixes, occult teachings, and sin, but stranger things have happened. You've made up your own 7 deadly sins, which is interesting. In the original lineup, "pride" was on the list, as was "greed." They were probably on there for a good reason. I don't have much to say here. To have all these solid ideas about objective reality and the right way to do things, and for so many people to not acknowledge them with the same importance that you do, must be difficult. I will focus on "getting rich' now, I suppose, though what's considered wealth is very relative indeed. Cheers. p.s. You should consider lifting your personal ban on "exciting music," that's a little cruel to the self.

Hello! Yes, attempts to show that "objective morality" exist are around since the time of Plato (at least) but they have never succeeded. Securing the possibility of objective knowledge in morality has been the dream of several Giants of Philosophy throughout human history, but nobody so far succeeded. Nowadays scientific analysis tend to show the contrary, i.e. that there's no such thing as an objective morality. Then, even if objective morality existed, comes the huge problem to define it and to interpret the definition. Your definition for example is not universally accepted, therefore there are serious doubts that this "objectivity" exists indeed. And even by accepting your definition many actions remain moral for some people and immoral for other people, according to the interpretation of your definition (we will not insult your intelligence to make trivial examples). Anyway, all of your considerations don't change the observation that your statement according to which privacy would be "a form of luxury" for financially wealthy people is false, perhaps even according to your own definition of morality! This can be an honorable and moral behavior indeed, but we don't see how this personal choice should support the idea that privacy is the luxury of wealthy people. Kind regards

Privacy is a fundamental human right enshrined in any charter of fundamental rights, including the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, and a series of amendments in the US constitution (including but not limited to the 4th Amendment). The right to privacy has been equated to the right to life (for example by the India Supreme Court) and privacy (in the form of anonymity) has been recognized as an essential requisite to freedom of expression, according to a landmark & paramount decision of the US Supreme Court in 1994. It is exactly the opposite in many documented cases. The right to privacy is often perceived as a privilege for the wealthy but it is actually more crucial for financially poor individuals, as you can easily verify through the sources and reports by the UN and by many human rights advocate organizations. As far as it pertains to additional protection of privacy on the Internet through more effective data protection and a layer of anonymity, we contribute also by aiding, technically or financially, networks that are free for everyone, such as Tor, making privacy protection enhancement (small or big) affordable for more persons. While privacy is very precisely defined universally (and coded in law as one of the most important human rights in many countries), morality poses problems even with its definition. Codes of conduct endorsed by a society or a group (such as a religion), or accepted by an individual for her own behavior, are multiple, and many of them are mutually incompatible. Large groups of people endorse a "supreme, universal" morality that's totally refused by other groups. Some groups define "morality" as something that it's not even defined as "morality" by another group. Some groups claim that "morality" is something defined by some external, powerful entity, given to us through revelation and the interpretation of this revelation by selected persons, while other groups do not even agree about the existence of such external entity. That's why many of the most famous "educators" you mention, in the course of history have been incensed as heroes of their times by some groups, while other groups have defined them, at the same time or later in history, as bloodthirsty monsters, crazy lunatics or anyway people against morality. Even your invitation to avoid a perfectly legal action in all Western countries shows that your "morality" is incompatible with the "morality" of many other individuals and groups. Kind regards

Yes I agree

Norway's servers are over 60% most of the day. Can you ship a couple of Sweden's unused servers to Oslo? There's like 5 not being used.

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

I'm gonna try this.

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.

As for me, I use a hardware TAN and TOTP generator. Both types of generators are not supposed to be used on the same device as what you're trying to do (e.g. banking + TAN app on the same device, or logging into a website and viewing the OTP in Bitwarden in a browser tab next to it). So, I physically separated them

Just bought another year's subscription. Been a proud paying member now since 2014 and happy to have been here for so long ☺️

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.

I dont know what happened, but after two days the upload starts working. Please note that I followed bluesjunior's recommendation (I had everything exactly as mentioned in the website) and followed the recommendations of OpenSourcerer as well.

What are you talking about? do you know the golden rule exists in almost every religion on the earth and has thousands of years? If you want to "teach" about being "moral" in the sense of being a good person, you can simply teach the golden rule because this is something even a kid understands and can practice, while your theory on objective morality is probably only understood by yourself and cannot be practically taught. Are you talking about the historical Christ or the mystical Christ? because the historical one didn't do this, and the mystical one's actions and words cannot be interpreted literally. You can use TOR/I2P which are free and have privacy. You can read books in your local library and not do a google search and by doing that have privacy. You can go to your doctor's office and not have a conversation through WhatsApp and keep your medical condition private. Privacy in the world of computers might be hard to achieve, but many people collaborate to make privacy reach more people (either by educating, by hosting a tor node, etc.). It might sound like luxury in a country where you have most of the people living in poverty, in other countries it is not. In some countries it might be a requirement to have an online life, as the networks are controlled by a totalitarian government. In other countries it might be completely ignored, as you won't have the police knocking at your door because of a social media post no matter how "offensive" it might be to a group of people. In other words, luxury is relative, privacy is not.

At least, according to annunaki legend, humans were created through crude genetic engineering by annunaki alien species who came to earth to mine gold and left earth a long time ago. To create humans, they mixed earth hominid genes with annunaki genes, using cheap genetic engineering methods. That explains why humans have many genetic defects. They didn't create humans with precise genetic engineering methods because humans were designed as a tool to mine gold for annunaki aliens. That also explains why humans spent a lot of effort in mining gold and processing it into gold bars even though they were not technologically advanced enough to actually utilize gold. Nowadays, gold is used in computer chips. People didn't have computer chips in the past. There was really no good reason to spend so much effort on producing gold bars if humans didn't have natural use cases like computer chips for gold. Because annunakis didn't want to directly control humans through brute force, they gave the concept of money and government to humans so that they can indirectly control humans through money and government. They spent a lot of effort on perfecting indirect control. After they left, the human controllers who controlled humans for annunakis kept money and government. The legend says they themselves don't use money and government to coordinate their own labor. They give the concept of money and government to slave species. If annunaki aliens took some humans with them after they were done with humans on earth, there must be humans on other planets. But, whether annunaki legend is real doesn't really matter at this point. I don't really care either way. What matters is the fact that I'm stuck with money and government on earth along with other earth humans. I'm still practical and try to be productive with money, but I am aware that money is a control mechanism.

Are there humans anywhere else?

I've been using the same manual with slightly different settings, but nothing worked. Tried again with your settings and surprisingly everything works perfectly. Brief summary: AirVPN+Amnesia WG on Keenetic connected to MGTS via GPON terminal tp link xz000-g7 so far works, but will continue to monitor. Many thanks for help!

I appreciate the response and I know this is kind of pendantic, but this should be stated on the download page that the ARM download requires Rosetta. We are multiple years into Apple silicon architecture and software should be built natively by now. If Apple decides to pull the rug on Rosetta in future OS versions, we will be locked out from updating.

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

Correlation != causation, as always. You're feeling the fallout of a small number of users scripting the hell out of VPN connections, launching all manner of automated attacks against all kinds of websites and services. As the saying goes, one bad apple spoils the barrel. People are built this way: There's heightened temptation to do "unsavory" things when there is less risk of being discovered doing so. In the realm of the internet, all manner of proxied connections like VPNs are bound to be abused at some point. The website operators don't want their servers to be attacked, obviously, so countermeasures are deployed; and you can bet these countermeasures will take the path of least resistance for the operators: Just subscribe to a service which maintains reputation lists and route traffic through them to filter the bad kind, and you get to make attacks less likely and less impactful for you (hello, Sucuri). It's a cognitive bias to falsely attribute this to "privacy is bad". It correlates, but is extremely likely not the cause – since there is no cause to block normal users using a website normally while connected to such a VPN. Everything else is good old conspiracy talk without even a sliver of proof. The human mind is annoyingly good in comparing and correlating things since it's continuously searching for explanations. It's the principle reason science exists – and pseudoscience, for that matter. You'd think the internet made us intelligent due to the sheer amount of info it holds, but, no, it's actually a good example of "to have too much of a good thing". Beware of too easy explanations, for everything you try to understand.

Hello! Sorry, our testing system is Mint 21.1 Xfce edition and, provided that you install bash, everything runs perfectly, including traffic splitting. We will test on Mint 21.3 and 22.1 in the next days and let you know. The log shows multiple critical problems that are not currently reproducible. We will update this thread in due time. As far as it pertains to ufw, Bluetit does not disable anything, but Network Lock operates at nftables level in your system through the userspace utility nft, because Bluetit detects that both nftables and nft are working in your system. However, ufw is an iptables frontend, so it can not interact directly with nftables, it must do it through legacy translations. This hybridization is deprecated because it may cause very many problems (Bluetit tries to warn you with "WARNING: ufw is running on this system and may interfere with network filter and lock" as you may have seen). ufw does not support nftables, which is the new network filtering subsystem of your distribution Linux kernel. iptables compatibility is maintained through a complex set of translations. If you operate simultaneously with nft and ufw, bad things may (will) happen. When Bluetit restores the previous rules, it does so via nft. If ufw gets disabled at this stage, it's not Bluetit that disables it directly. The above firewall problems are not user's direct responsibility, instead they look like the outcome of a suffering and maybe not well planned migration from iptables to nftables on Ubuntu and derivatives. Please note that in Mint 21.3, ufw is disabled by default, thus resolving the problem at its root. Solution: consider to clean up the system to stay entirely on translations or entirely on nftables. If you want to go with nftables, just disable and/or uninstall ufw. If you prefer to keep ufw then renounce to nft and rely exclusively on translations, and force Bluetit to go back to iptables translation. To do so, just change the networklockpersist setting into iptables (from the default automatic choice). Kind regards

Installed new stable Eddie on a Win7 machine recently. I suspect my ISP uses DPI, so I've always liked connecting using SSL. Eddie client, using installer .exe. A few questions... 1- With Wireguard implementation, is there decreased likelihood of DPI being recognized by ISP? My DL speeds with SSL are taking a major hit with new Eddie 2.24.6. (I'll experiment w/ different protocols and update with faster Protocol selection(s). 2- Here's my bigger question, I can not connect to any "selected" protocol unless I check "use bundled plink.exe, OR, "none", in the Microsoft Windows Only "Advanced" UI. *However, I can connect if I select "Automatic" for both Protocol selection, AND "Microsoft Windows Only, "Automatic" Advanced options. If I leave "Automatic" on MS Windows Only "Advanced", I receive a log noting "VPN Network Adapter not found, install fail (wintun)". Bulletpoint: Is there a compatibility issue for wintun.exe, and/or OpenVPN and Win7? (attached is small log excerpt noting scenario when can not connect, I'll submit larger log if that will help). What, if any, disadvantages to selecting "None", or, "usage of bundled plink.exe" on Advanced Windows Only options? I have yet to try the installing of OpenVPN and Config generator on this machine. As How-To SSL notes "Eddie" will automatically do this for user. Tbh, I don't recall my previous setting on the previous stable Eddie (BUT, I think I left it Advanced "automatic", and had no issue connecting to SSL, SSH, any chosen Protocol) 3- For MS Window Network Adapters, I've historically used OpenDNS 208.67.220.222 (+ the 3 others), OR, Quad 9. *Can I use the AirVPN DNS 10.128.0.1 in both my Adapter's DNS, AND using Eddie? Or could this redundancy cause issues? I always use AirVPN when online, so that's not an issue. If not, I'd swap out Adapter back to Quad 9 or whatever. Lastly on DNS, are the other AirVPN DNS servers still available? I think they were like, 10.30.0.1, 10.40.0.1? Something like that. Additional notes, I reset Win 7 Firewall to "default", reset an outdated Intel Wireless Adapter to it's default setting for troubleshooting. As I write this I have AirVPN's DNS in aforementioned wireless adapter 10.128.0.1, and have Advanced "MS Only" Driver changed to "None" (again, plink.exe will also work). Sorry for any redunancies in all that s*it I noted above Any feedback or help would be greatly appreciated. 23.txt

Hello! We're very glad to inform you that a new 10 Gbit/s full duplex server located in Frankfurt, Germany, is available: Ashlesha. 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. Ashlesha 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

Fight me. Actually, now that I think about it, I wanted to write something titled 10 years of AirVPN – A humble review a year ago going into all the experiences I've had with AirVPN in all those years but, wow, talk about a colossal task. It's a massive undertaking at this point and I am not sure whether it'll ever see the light of day.

Eddie supports Windows 7, you know. Only requirement is that you install .NET 4.5.

After prolonged tinkering, latest Eddie stable seems to be working OK if I choose a good proxy/server (can configure to a 40% loss, which I'm cool with). I was curious if Id get any feedback from any remaining Win 7, and/or, Win8.1 /Win10 camp(s). *If anyone is inclined to reply, my only remaining question is... "is it OK to check "none" in Advanced Eddie settings (again, for MS Windows 7), to establish a "chosen" connection protocol (for eg, port 443 IP 4 SSL, or UDP 443 IP 4, et, et...)? Thanks for your time! :) Windows Network Adapter, using AirVPN DNS... is it cool to use the redunant 10.128.0.1 w/in adapter DNS, when connected to Air (is a close 2nd question). :P Have a good weekend y'all's, DfP

Then I'd get swedish localisation on websites (for those sites that sets language based on IP location). And the problem with Norway being underfunded with servers, while Sweden having several that's practically unused would still exist. As I'm writing this, Sweden have 8 servers with less than 10% load out of 13. Norway have 5 servers with only 1 with less than 63%.

Thank you so much for your touching words and stellar feedback. And for your commitment in so many years. However, were you really under the illusion that you could escape so easily? Kind regards

What, did someone secretly add a year of premium or something?

it wasn't me but that's really nice of somebody!

Whoever just helped me, I am literally crying. That was so nice. Jeez.

Look, this is something you can easily look up yourself by searching for a single word: china. https://airvpn.org/search/?&q=china&search_and_or=or You find things like: .

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.

How do points 1, 2, 3 and 5 lead to such a conclusion? Just because it's Russian doesn't mean it's bad. Not everything from Russia is somehow connected to Russian politics; please take care to keep these matters separate. Only point 4 is a bit strange, but it'd be strange if it were an EU or US service, too. Let's not use the word "honeypot" here prematurely before any real analysis. Otherwise it's just FUD.

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! This looks like a relatively new Reddit policy, not specifically aimed at VPN, but at any IP address not assigned to residential ISPs. In this case access is granted but only after you have logged in. Just tested from all Japan servers, including Taphao, and we could access. After the login all Reddit is accessible, as far as we see. To maintain a robust anonymity layer in Reddit you need an anonymous e-mail address created with the protection of AirVPN and/or Tor, of course. Follow the instructions you have published in your screenshots to login (the login page does not block access from Tor or VPN or datacenters). Two years ago Reddit started to prevent users to post more than a comment every 10 minutes if the connection came from a datacenter IP address ("if you are accessing from an hosting provider" hints to any non-residential IP address). The behavior you report seems quite new and we confirm that it happens even from dedicated servers completely unrelated from our VPN activities. However the system is still coughing because, on the other hand, as @mazurka7 correctly wrote, some VPN servers are not subjected to this filter. Kind regards

Hello! Probably Eddie is really running as the message says. Can you please check whether Eddie is minimized? Please search for Eddie's tray icon in the system tray. Click the "up" arrow to see all the hidden tray icons. Eddie's tray icon is a small cloud in a circle. If you find it, please double-click it and Eddie's main window should pop up. The system tray is (if you have Windows 11 default settings) on one corner (usually the right hand side) of the bottom task bar. If you manage to bring up the main window, you can disable the promotional messages permanently in Preferences > UI window. Check Skip promotional messages (remember to uncheck it when the promotion ends if you want to be promptly informed about future promotions, because the option disables not only the current message but also any future one - this is not necessary in Eddie Android edition which disables the current promotional message and not the future ones). Kind regards

Maybe try the experimental; the wireguard.dll file is the same version though. I never got it to work on W10, so that's why I moved away from Eddie. BTW, the WireGuard GUI app has a kill-switch.

That may be true, but a Swedish server doesn't help you access geo-blocked services in Denmark.

You can uninstall Eddie by going to the "synaptic package manager", searching for "air" and uninstalling AirVPN's client.

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.
