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.

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. 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.

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

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

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! 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

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

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. Kind regards

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.

I tested the beta build and it does seem to be working as intended.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Thanks OpenSourcer. I honestly appreciate your constructive feedback. I felt the other person wasn't even attempting to be helpful. Maybe if said person offered ANY feedback related to the post, then noted, "why you still using Win7?", my response would have definitely been in kind. I noted developer/application problem in a follow-up... that said, there are ways to keep win7 updated (PM me if you want for that info.). Also, I did apologize to the dude, but I'm fastly remembering why I generally avoid message boards. +My posts are now "moderated" and I was penalized with some "point" thing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I believe in karma, I try to help people, not sh*t on them. I found his question unnecessary given the context. Peace @opensourcer

When using 2.24.6 with Win7 32bit (for reasons) I get an "unable to obtain elevated privileges" and can go no further. No problems with 2.21.8. 2.24.6 working flawlessly on Win10 machines.

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.

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

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

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

Take care John, I hope you are back on your feet soon.

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.

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! 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

@itsmeprivately Hello! Please try the following settings (usually they are strictly necessary to bypass China blocks): switch to OpenVPN (if you haven't already done so) by tapping the icon "VPN Type" on the main view. Each tap switches between WireGuard and OpenVPN. force connection over TCP to port 443 in the following way: open "Settings" and expand "AirVPN" by tapping on it tap "Default OpenVPN protocol", select "TCP" and tap "OK" tap "Default OpenVPN port", select "443" and tap "OK" tap "Quick connection mode", select "Use default options only" and tap "OK" Finally test again connections to various servers in various locations. Kind regards

I just wanted to request a server in Denmark

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