    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    ANSWERED Fritzbox 7530 ax

    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

    ANSWERED Fritzbox 7530 ax

    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

    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).

    [FUD] Google Authenticator

    Hello! We offer TOTP based 2FA. TOTP is an open protocol. lt has been adopted as Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard RFC 6238, it is not developed by Google. Furthermore, Google software and/or related services are not required in any way to use TOTP. TOTP (Time-based one-time password) is "the cornerstone of Initiative for Open Authentication (OATH) and is used in a number of two-factor authentication (2FA) systems". It is also supported by the Google Authenticator app, but of course you are not forced to run this app (Google Authenticator does not requite anymore your phone number, just to be precise). Here you can see a wide list of apps: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_OTP_applications We are confident that this information will convince you of the imbecility of your beliefs.

    I was quoting, therefore responding to, Mr. BLACK KITTEN, who said that the problem was encountered on Firefox and Brave only, and the CAPTCHAs solve with other browsers. So if those tests were conducted while being connected to a VPN server, it's illogical to believe it's universal and so blame Cloudflare. Certainly makes it more probable for me that the browser configuration (about:config, addons, plugins, etc.) plays some part here – if it's not outright a customer decision to block those IP addresses and ranges, as Staff noted. I was not conversing with you in that part of the post, but I should've made it clearer by a mention, maybe. That's because I am your opposition in this discussion and don't believe this to be as remotely alarming as you think. Certainly not a threat to AirVPN as a company, as people mostly use a VPN for file sharing (going by the topics created around here, and bandwidth statistics). Also, a frequently posted recommendation around these very same forums for those in need of privacy is to use Tor. AirVPN forums are there to provide a platform for AirVPN users to help each other with problems around AirVPN tech; it's a gift from AirVPN to the community. I am a moderator here because I voluntarily requested it a few years ago to help with spam removal. thread management and readability enhancement of the posts. Actually, I requested it because people wrote me privately that it took days to get their posts approved, and I wanted to get down that delay. I have not requested moderator rights to bring about some "better future" for AirVPN, defend it or do some weird missionary work preaching their mission statement. I am not a team member to worry about that. In fact, when I presented one such case of defense to Staff on something that transpired on Reddit and sought explanations, I've been told not to worry as whatever happened didn't have even a minute effect on AirVPN's reputation or sales.

    Exactly my point. Tracking and fingerprinting is so advanced today that VPN is almost becoming useless when not combined with other means of protection. They know who you are because your browser doxxed you = they don't care about your IP anymore, so they allow you to open the website They don't know who you are because your browser is actually private, and they can't use IP to track you = no internet for you

    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.

    I think Keenetic supports AmneziaWG natively now. You can try appending junk packets settings to fool DPI to make it work. Instruction is here: https://docs.amnezia.org/documentation/instructions/keenetic-os-awg/ At the step 23, since you don't have unique AmneziaWG settings as you would have if you self-hosted it, you need to set them in the way that is compatible with normal Wireguard. Example could be: interface Wireguard1 wireguard asc 8 50 1000 0 0 1 2 3 4

    Eddie Desktop edition 2.24.6 released

  32. 1 point
    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

    Looks like the only way to connect to any chosen Protocol is to check "None" in Advanced, MS Windows Only. Also having trouble with latest TAP driver, maybe deprecated for Win7? Have to update TAP driver using device manager after a restart, and then TAP driver resorts to 9.0.0.9. If I exit Eddie, then update to latest TAP driver, this will work. TAP fails everytime after a reboot, requires UAC prompt, then unsuccessful. Need to exit Eddie, install from unzipped package, et. But, seems like better speeds using old 9.0.0.9 TAP? Here's a log after successful connection, then tweaking advanced MS Only setting to work with SSL, then resorting again to "None". *Automatic does not work when one tries to select individual Protocol (UDP, SSL, SSH, et). Guessing a Wireguard conflict somewhere. Could be the crap Intel Wireless Adapter too. Im spent *"VPN Network Adapter not found, install fail (wintun)". Can't figure it out PIA_or_PainInTheAss.txt

    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.

    Norway needs more servers

    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%.

    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.

    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.

    Honeypot VPN?

    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?

    New user: How-to do Wireguard?

    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.

    How to uninstall Eddie 2.8

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

    Port forwarding in qBittorrent

    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.
