Hello! We're very glad to inform you that four new 10 Gbit/s full duplex servers located in New York City are available: Muliphein, Paikauhale, Terebellum, Unukalhai. They have replaced Haedus, Iklil and Lich with more powerful hardware and higher overall bandwidth. The AirVPN client will show automatically the new servers; if you use any other OpenVPN or WireGuard client you can generate all the files to access them through our configuration/certificates/key generator (menu "Client Area"->"Config generator"). The servers accept connections on ports 53, 80, 443, 1194, 2018 UDP and TCP for OpenVPN and ports 1637 UDP for WireGuard. Haedus and Iklil support OpenVPN over SSL and OpenVPN over SSH, TLS 1.3, OpenVPN tls-crypt and WireGuard. Full IPv6 support is included as well. As usual no traffic limits, no logs, no discrimination on protocols and hardened security against various attacks with separate entry and exit-IP addresses. You can check the status as usual in our real time servers monitor by clicking the names of the servers. Do not hesitate to contact us for any information or issue. Kind regards and datalove AirVPN Team

Hello! We inform you that due to a few problems we are forced to replace the server Kitalpha in Switzerland. A much more powerful server will replace Kitalpha in the next days and it will be connected to a 10 Gbit/s full duplex port and line. As usual, the new server will be announced in this "News" forum in due time. The new server will not only replace Kitalpha but will also provide the additional bandwidth that several users require in Switzerland. We roughly estimate that the server will be available to you by November the 25th. Kind regards & datalove AirVPN Staff

New version, mainly bug fixes, to promote it to Stable as soon as possible. A completely revamped version of the UI, no longer based on Mono (for Linux) and Xamarin (for MacOS), is in development, but we cannot currently estimate a release date.

Hello! We're very glad to inform you that in the coming days, according to our infrastructure expansion and improvement plan, all the servers in Los Angeles, New York City and Phoenix will be replaced. The new servers will have much more powerful hardware and all of them will be connected to a 10 Gbit/s (full duplex) port with guaranteed bandwidth. Therefore, the infrastructure in the mentioned locations will be entirely upgraded to new 10 Gbit/s servers, with 3 servers in LA, 3 servers in Phoenix and 4 servers in New York City. The current servers will be decommissioned on November the 1st. Please note that all the new servers will have new IP addresses. Connectivity will be very similar, with the notable addition of GTT and Zayo as fiber and tier1 transit providers. Kind regards and datalove AirVPN Staff

Looking for the same in CHICAGO area always busy! around 70-90% nowadays!

These replacement servers are extremely slow and only appear to have only 20% the speed of the previous NYC servers (Haeduis, Ikill, etc). What gives????

Hello! We're very glad to inform you that three new 10 Gbit/s full duplex servers located in Los Angeles, California, are available: Maia, Sarin, Xamidimura. They have replaced Groombridge, Saclateni and Teegarden with more powerful hardware and higher overall bandwidth. The AirVPN client will show automatically the new servers; if you use any other OpenVPN or WireGuard client you can generate all the files to access them through our configuration/certificates/key generator (menu "Client Area"->"Config generator"). The servers accept connections on ports 53, 80, 443, 1194, 2018 UDP and TCP for OpenVPN and ports 1637 UDP for WireGuard. Haedus and Iklil support OpenVPN over SSL and OpenVPN over SSH, TLS 1.3, OpenVPN tls-crypt and WireGuard. Full IPv6 support is included as well.

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

Provide sub-regions for US region, perhaps useast.airvpn.org, uscentral.airvpn.org, and uspacific.airvpn.org? This will minimize latency on games that try to connect you to the closest server by having your exit ip to be in the same area. Manually managing the different local region servers is a pain when some are offline while others have high packet loss. It would be nice to be connected to the best performing local region server and not the one across the country.

Hi, I just wanted to say I appreciate the simple, easy 3 day trial. I have one more thing I want to try tonight, but I really like this website, I like the ease of the app and connection, and from looking around the forum, it appears the community is competent and very friendly. I unfortunately do not have the budget to purchase a 3 year plan at the present moment, so I will wait for the next sale and make sure I purchase 3 years. Thank you all!

This bug is an issue with Mono on Linux, and there’s not much we can do. A UI without Mono is in the works. Yes, there is a bug on Linux with the NetworkLock when the OS has iptables-legacy instead of clean iptables or nftables. This issue affects several Arch users. It will be fixed in version 2.24.4, which we will release today or tomorrow. > OTHER We are evaluating all other issues as well, thank you for the feedback.

The eddie client is just shit. Clunky. Slow. Unreliable. <Ad deleted by Staff - forbidden ads> Sometimes it hangs under Linux/Ubuntu. Good luck killing it. pkill -9 or -15 eddie* will not shut dont the tray process, the tray eddie will immediately reappear. Today I tried the pkill command instantely several times. Managed to kill it somehow but now I get "an instance of eddie is still running". Once eddie hangs, there is no option except rebooting the system. You have no idea how much I hate eddie.

To the great staff and founders and the helpful (non-toxic) community, Recent unanticipated life things are forcing me to cut all but the most essential things from my "budget," which is not much. I've been using the veep for nearly 8 years, that's a long time to stick with a single service in internet time. I have recommended airvpn countless times and continue to do so, often in the same breath as "...but there's also ProtonVPN and Mullvad, and Duckduckgo which I have yet to try." In other words, airvpn is always at the top of recommendations. I still believe in the essential mission and need of services like AirVPN. When you find how difficult it is to actually research corporate VPNs like Nord, which do not have the best track record, it can be difficult because their parent companies own some of the top review outlets (PC Magazine, tomshardware) or influence them with ad revenue. Even the "anti-scammer" youtube celebrities take sponsorship deals from sketchy or at least unverifiable VPN companies, because Nord and Express and Ghost etc. aren't open source, so we have to rely on a fly-by-night "auditing authorities," which don't answer to regulations or transparent oversight either. It's a battle not many people feel is worth paying attention to, but I have tried. You will find my trails of AirVPN recommendations across forums over the past 7 years, and I hope they helped. Maybe I'll be back in a month. Maybe a year. I don't know with my life right now. Goodbye! Gow

This is honestly one of the most inspiring things I've read lately. It solidifies why we're all here, either as a customer, contributor, or whatever. I have used nord for the last few years and never thought twice about it. After recent life changes I decided to take the time to invest into my understanding of networking, the internet, etc. On top of future proofing myself I want to learn how to be less reliant on services that I can't trust to not sell every last ounce of privacy I have left. This is some next level community support, I love to see it, and hope nothing but the best for you and those who helped / continue to help every day.

I am noticing the same performance issues. As a quick real-world test, I set up a torrent between a torrent client connected to 1 of the 4 servers and another torrent client connected to one of the other 4 servers. The speeds as indicated in the screenshot below (this is from the uploading client) barely got above 3 MB/s. In previous tests that I did following this same methodology using the M247 servers when they were active, I was able to see speeds of usually 8-10 MB/s. I also downloaded an Ubuntu ISO via BitTorrent on one of the clients. Using this as a test I was able to see download speeds above 25 MB/s for the torrent as a whole, and for a single peer, up to 13 MB/s. Possibly as @ScanFarer stated, this could be worse routing from my ISP to Tzulo, whereas the route from Tzulo to my ISP seems to be fine based on the download speed observed for the Ubuntu torrent.

Hello! Bug reproduced, it is an undersized variable's overflow. You will see the fix very soon, in the next 3.2.1. Thank you for your tests! Kind regards

I’m noticing the route my ISP is taking to these servers isn’t great—speeds are noticeably slower. Or at least, I think it’s just on my end. I’m getting much better performance with the M247 servers; to be exact, it’s around 100 Mbps compared to the 500 Mbps+ I’d get with the Haedus server. It’s no big concern for me; just wanted to bring it up.

Hello ! Introduction Welcome To AirVPN! This is a guide meant to help new people. Whether you're new to VPNs in general or just new to AirVPN. I've tried to keep it fairly short, by using bullet points & spoiler tags. This hopefully also makes it more readable and less scary. I think AirVPN is a FANTASTIC VPN and while I don't own or have any stake in AirVPN myself, I'm a huge supporter of it. However, it can be quite scary and confusing to use when you first get started, so hopefully my little guide willl help you! This guide also includes links to resources provided by Air and other users, but I don't mean to take credit for these things. So please feel free to scroll to the bottom of this guide! Index: Introduction First Questions Getting Started With AirVPN After Downloading The Eddie Client [includes Troubleshooting tips] AirVPN Guides Section [Look here to find guides about: Security/Torrenting/Port-forwarding/Plex/etc.] Other Noteworthy resources Credits Why I made this guide: AirVPN was said to be very technical and thus hard to use. But since it's such a quality VPN, I don't want that to always be the main bad side to this great service. Therefore, this guide is also a response to this problem, so that newcomers can hopefully feel less overwhelmed about the idea of the air to breathe the real Internet. The Air staff clearly put in a lot of work every day and are extremely knowledgeable people, from all that I've seen. It's just that for newcomers, it can be hard and overwhelming finding all the relevant pieces of information and it can easily be too technical, so I hope my little guide will also be useful in that regard. This is also why, I collect other people's guides and put them in this guide, so that they're easier to find. However, Thank you to AirVPN, Staff and the many knowledgeable members of this community who help out people like myself quite a lot, through their contributions to the site everyday :] Feel free to leave feedback on this guide, both good and bad, if you want to, because I'll happily read it ! First Questions Do I have to be really technical to use this VPN stuff? AirVPN is one of the more technical VPNs out there and this is pretty much its only major drawback, when it gets reviewed. However, it offers unmatched attention to security and privacy. Not all reviews are entirely accurate either, sadly. Which the AirVPN Staff haven't hesitated to remark on though. So in short: No. But if you're new to VPNs in general and not a tech-savvy user, you do have to accept that you might be confused in the start. But this forum is here to help :]. Due to all the marketing and sometimes paid reviews, it can be hard to find out which VPN to trust at all. This is without even getting to the technical features. Air tends to somewhat pride itself on not overselling things however and so on the face of it, AirVPN can seem like it's no match for other, apparently bigger VPNs, but AirVPN has a lot to offer if you take a look. Will I become totally anonymous or completely secure? Please be aware that when using AirVPN or any VPN, while signed in to things such as your e-mail or other online accounts, you might get incorrect notices of being hacked. You have not been hacked most likely, it's just that when services see you log in from several different IP addresses, they get suspicious. Simply keep calm and investigate the issue. No, definitely not. But in terms of steps you can take to reach very high levels of privacy and security, this is one of the best steps you can take. Privacy and security are hard things. To achieve even higher levels involves sorting out things like your operating system, browser, various habits and using networks like Tor, in addition to a VPN like this. Security is hard. It's rarely, if ever, just a one-off solution. Often, security is as much a process, as it is about a single good product, like this VPN. However. just because a VPN doesn't do everything, it doesn't mean it's useless. A lot depends on what you're trying to do/achieve and who your "enemies" are. Yet it should be said, that AirVPN is quite extreme about security. For Air, it's "all or nothing" in many ways. AirVPN is so focused about security, that they even fix issues before they're published! However, VPNs and others technologies are becoming more and more important, as new spy laws like the UK Snoopers Charter & US Rule 41 Amendment crop up. Please check the question "What does AirVPN do to make it safe to use and does it log or track people?" further down, for more details. VPNs A & B have features X & Y, how does AirVPN compare? For this, check out the forum made specifically for that. It's often the case that features from other VPNs are either already included in AirVPN, aren't included because they're unsafe or just aren't as good as they sound. For instance, a rival VPN might say "We offer PPTP and many other secure protocols!", while Air doesn't, because Air knows PPTP is unsafe. Or they might say they offer a "multi-hop" VPN, which may or may not be useful, according to AirVPN Staff. Support for the protocol known as IKEv2 is another example of where Air doesn't support something, but has good reasons for not doing so. As a final example, you will sometimes see competitors speak of their super-secret "camouflage", "4Dstealth" or "hidden" protocols or servers. This is just marketing for gullible customers . But such aforementioned marketing can greatly confuse efforts to compare Airs product with the competitors. So if in doubt, ask the competitor who is offering "stealth"-something, what it is. If I use AirVPN, will I be able to use service XYZ with it? Please be aware that when using AirVPN or any VPN, while signed in to things such as your e-mail or other online accounts, you might get incorrect notices of being hacked. You have not been hacked most likely, it's just that when services see you log in from several different IP addresses, they get suspicious. Simply keep calm and investigate the issue. Please also be aware that it is NOT the main purpose of AirVPN to get access to geo-restricted content because it's a losing battle and Air cannot control how companies such as the BBC and Netflix act. Being able to get access to a site, generally depends on which service you want and which country it's in. AirVPN doesn't have servers in every country. In general, you can get access to everything. Although services like BBC iPlayer and Netflix actively try to block VPNs. Even services as normal as payment processors, such as PayPal don't always make things easy. This means it's not always possible for a VPN provider to do anything about it. But we do have forums to discuss and notify AirVPN on, so that AirVPN can try to solve it as best as it can. But before you post in that forum, make sure to Read This First, as it might help you & will make your posts more helpful to others. AirVPN has a very useful tool called the Route Checking tool. It allows you to test access to a website from ALL AirVPN servers. Just put in a full link in the search field and click the search button. Then press F5 or hit the refresh button in your browser. Green results usually mean there's access; red results mean the opposite. This is useful for seeing if it's only you who has a problem or only the server you're on. As well as which servers don't have a problem, so that you can switch to using those ones instead. It's most important that it's green in the "HTTP" column. There's many different HTTP Codes, so here's a list. VPNs generally slow down your connection a little. But AirVPN is so good that it's still possible to play Multiplayer games through it, without your connection slowing down too much, in my own experience. What does AirVPN do to make it safe to use and does it log or track people? AirVPN isn't just safe because it promises to be so in its marketing. Instead, it backs things up with hard technical specifications and high standards, that you can verify yourself. AirVPN is logless and can't be forced to log surreptitiously, fully supports P2P on all servers & as per #5 ignores all DMCA requests. Remotely-forwarded ports aren't logged either. Here's additional things Air does to increase its security and privacy: AirVPNs infrastructure conforms to a high degree of openness & transparency. This helps show that none of Airs locations are fake, but only bare-metal & lets users compare with one another. AirVPNs encryption standards are military grade and so for all intents and purposes unbreakable. It also only uses the most secure VPN protocol too: OpenVPN. No PPTP/SSTP/L2TP/IKEv2. AirVPN doesn't use any third party tracking on its website, such as Google Analytics or Social buttons, because they leak. Instead, it uses open-source analytics Matomo, which is closed loop. AirVPNs website meets the highest SSLabs security standards: A+. AirVPN takes its mission to fight censorship and manipulation of the Internet extremely seriously. This also means being highly willing to help out journalists and human-rights defenders. AirVPN only uses FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) in its Eddie client. Therefore the software running on your system is not a security "blackbox", but can be independently verified. AirVPNs Eddie client supports a wide selection of protocols. Including SSL and SSH. As well as anonymising services such as Tor; so that you can "partition trust" and need not trust AirVPN. AirVPN fully accepts crypto-currencies. Including to the point where it accepts Bitcoin directly. No middlemen. So if done right, you can use AirVPN with Air knowing nothing about you. AirVPN explains how it doesn't need to inspect or monitor traffic in order to check for breaches of ToS. AirVPN is against security through obscurity, including in its client software Eddie and so shows all the information it can; which leads some users to erroneously think there's logging going on. AirVPN has since then expanded on this point. AirVPN uses in-house support technicians and not outsourced third-party technicians and external packages such as Zendesk. So as with #3, it's closed-loop. No leakage. AirVPN has a strict location policy, so that it doesn't just set up servers in a new, potentially unsafe or questionable, location. One which can't supply the performance required, either. AirVPN has its own DNS servers and "killswitch" feature. With Network Lock on, any accidental loss of connection from Airs servers won't leak anything about you; including WebRTC. AirVPN is run by extremely knowledgeable technical people and not just businessmen. So they're easily able to both explain, defend and attack subjects on a purely technical level. AirVPN supports the auditing of some of the crucial security software that underlies different systems and also supports other projects/groups/services such as Tor, Edri and OpenNIC. AirVPN runs this forum, which can seem like a small thing, but it's actually really important, as it allows for the open sharing of knowledge, providing of technical support and mythbusting. AirVPN already acts as a "multi-hop" VPN and takes many other measures to increase security, such as separate entry & exit IPs, Perfect Forward Secrecy and HMAC SHA1. AirVPN has a strong focus on avoiding marketing fluff and overselling. Which means you know exactly what you're getting and don't need to deal with deceptive use of technical details. AirVPN is highly consistent with staying constantly on top of any security issue. AirVPN is based in Italy and is therefore within the EU. This has a range of other benefits too. That's 20+ ways in which Air has extremely high security "by default". All made nice and easy for you to use. If you want more, there's a simple 3 step guide for that. But seriously, there's always more you can do yourself. When will AirVPN add country or server XYZ? AirVPN Staff do not usually tell the community when a new country or server will be added. They simply add them. So it's easy to miss. The Eddie client will automatically show them. AirVPN frequently adds new countries/locations. This can be seen in the announcement forum, so please try to check this and the Eddie client (if you use it) before asking. Thank you. Requests for a specific location or addition to an existing one, are fine. But demands to know when something will happen, are futile, since AirVPN follows a strict location policy. The technical specifications regarding security/encryption for the Air servers that are used, can be found here. Further, those technologies and standards allows Air to pursue its Mission. Please remember that even if a country you want hasn't been added, you may still be able to get access to the web-content of that country, thanks to Airs micro-routing feature. Here's some old posts regarding different locations, so that you may not need to ask. Please note that some, such as Japan as of 2018 & Austria, were already added: Italian Servers? Japan/Korea Servers? [staff Comment] Russian Servers? Danish Servers? Middle-East/North African Servers? Indian Servers? Panama Servers? Australian/New Zealand Servers? Latvian Servers? French & Belgian Servers?[uPDATE: French Servers Momentarily Withdrawn] Austrian Servers? Central/South American Servers? AirVPN now allows 5 connections per account instead of 3, but is it possible to buy more connections? AirVPN has increased the limit from 3 to 5 connections. Thus it's unlikely to be possible to buy more connections at any point. But you can use a modified router if you still need more than 5. If you change your router firmware(software) to something like DD-WRT or Tomato for instance, you can make all devices on your Wi-Fi/Router go through AirVPN. However running a VPN on a router is quite hardwork for most routers. So you either need high-grade commercial ones or computers like the ZBOX Nano, converted into routers. That ZBOX Nano PC would be excellent for a VPN to run on, as the hardware is very good; even more than the commercial routers. Only savvy users should consider this. Who runs AirVPN & moderates the forums? The Staff account is the Official voice of AirVPN. Private messages cannot be sent to them. Clodo & pj are the most visible AirVPN employees. Clodo is the developer of AirVPNs "Eddie" client software, while pj is a co-founder of AirVPN. Community moderators: zhang888, giganerd and LZ1. Note that we are NOT AirVPN employees, have no access to Air infrastructure and do NOT speak for Air in an official way. Instead, zhang888, giganerd and LZ1 are a part of what the Air Staff call the Air "forum Staff". Note that member profiles can't be accessed by others by default, unless you add them as friends or they made their profile public. Air itself is based in Italy and so that's where their staff will be sourced from. What are some of the "Status" page functions for & how do I use AirVPNs "Micro-routing" feature? The first page you see when you go to the Status page, is an overview of Airs servers & service. Useful for seeing if any server is down or very busy, downloads and how many users there are. The Ping Matrix shows the latency between Air servers and if there's any (severe) packet loss somewhere. No packets = no connection. The Top Users page can help you verify if others are still getting good or bad performance, compared to yourself. The Checking Route page is for seeing if Air servers can or can't connect to a website you select. Unlike the Ping Matrix. There's also the special AirVPN "Micro-routing" service. To use it, simply make sure you connect to Airs servers & DNS. (Automatic when you use Airs Eddie client). Without the micro-routing, if you want to watch French TV for example, you would have to connect to a French server. But with micro-routing, you can connect to ANY Air server and still watch French TV, as long as the TV's website is on the "Website support" list. It's possible to make requests to get sites added to these lists. Anyway, this micro-routing is very very useful ! Because it means that EVEN IF Air takes all French servers offline for some reason, you will still be able to access French content! Is it free and if not, why should I pay for it? AirVPN is not free, but you can get a short trial if you ask nicely. The Trial has unlimited data and full speed. But you can only get a refund if you have used less than 5GB. Free services don't offer many of the very nice features which let you get around website/service blocks. But it can be hard to market these features to non-technical people, because they're not always easy to explain. Yet once you try them, you will appreciate them. AirVPN has quality servers & connections, as well as guarantees a certain speed, with no limits. So it's possible to play multiplayer games through it. Free services often have to exploit their users in order to survive. This is normally done by tracking you, possibly undermining your security and selling your data to 3rd parties. If a free service is leaking your data due to poor practices and technology by accident or selling it on purpose, what's the point in using it then? VPN means Virtual Private Network. Even if a free service doesn't exploit you, you still don't have the same level of security or assurances, because how would a free service pay for that? Real security is hard and costly. Would you rather go through 5 bad free services, risking your security and privacy or would you rather take your privacy and security seriously the first time, for a small fee? If you only need a VPN 1 time, then it's probably not worth it to use a paid service. But if you know you'll need it often, it's worth the investment. Air has a very cheap 3 day plan too though. Free services often have many limits. But AirVPN is logless, allows 5 devices per account, allows P2P and other protocols, has no data/bandwidth limits & very high security. So basically, you need to be able to Trust your provider, yet why would a free service be trustworthy? They don't owe you anything. But a paid one at least does - not that all paid services are great either though. Not all services on the web offer the same level of protection either, whether free or not. Many services, paid & unpaid, lie to you about where they have servers. Fake GeoIP addresses. Since AirVPN isn't free, is it possible to buy a Lifetime subscription, as with other VPNs? Does AirVPN hold sales at all? This question has received its own dedicated topic, so please click the link below All sales related questions are answered in this dedicated thread. Getting Started With AirVPN If you run into a problem with Airs software for some reason, then please make sure to check if there's an experimental version of the Eddie client you can download. Experimental versions aren't always available. How do I start using AirVPN? There's 3 simple steps: Create Account Choose a Plan Choose your setup Creating an account: You don't need a valid e-mail address. The site software, called IPB, just needs the field to be filled with something. Remember that password recovery will NOT work without a valid address. If you can, don't use something which uniquely identifies you. So even if you name your account ninja10834, that's still better than something about your real name, location or even interests. With this account, you can also post on the forums. However in the beginning, you won't be able to post on these forums immediately. This is because a moderator has to make sure that whatever you post, is both genuine and from a person. So when you click the "post" button, your own post will NOT show up immediately; so just be patient, when asking a question. After around 5-10 posts being accepted, your account will increase in level and you will be able to post things immediately, without any supervision. There's 2 names associated with your account. The first is your login name, which cannot be changed and can't be seen by others. You would need to make a new account, to change it. The second name is your forum display name. In my case, it's LZ1. This can be changed by you at any time, but only matters in the forum. NOTE: it's your login name you use for logging into the Eddie software, together with your login password. Choose a plan: At this stage, you pick both how you wish to pay and how much. It's possible to pay in currencies known as "cryptocurrencies". These cryptocurrencies, most famously Bitcoin, have a range of benefits when it comes to things like security and privacy, if used correctly. If you want to pay using a cryptocurrency, there's some guidance on what to do, further down, in the guides section. However if you're just starting out, it's fine if you just use your credit card or whatever method which suits you. It's also possible to ask for a short trial. You can also scroll back up to the "First Questions" section and look for the information on Air's sales, if you want to wait for a discount. After paying, you will be a "Premium User" and will be able to see how many days you have left of your subscription, at the top of the screen, when you're logged into your account. Choose your setup: AirVPN provides a mobile version of its Eddie app for Android. An iOS version is NOT available due to Apple's restrictive policies. This stage is pretty straightforward. Just make sure you select the right versions and hit Download. Your OS: Find out which Windows Operating System you're running or which GNU/Linux you're running. Mac users must use either Mavericks or something newer. Your Architecture: Most will be locked into 64-bit here, as 32-bit is outdated. Your Format: Windows users should select "Installer" & MacOS users select "PKG Package Installer". Ubuntu/Linux users pick according to distro; adding a PPA will enable auto-updates of Eddie. Your User Interface: Most people should pick Graphical UI. Unless you want to run some kind of headless install, as some technical users do. Then click the big blue Download button and follow regular installation procedures. Now you will be downloading the AirVPN software. DONE. No further reading is required from here. Just open Eddie and click "Connect to Recommended Server". Unless you need a guide for something or want to know some of the finer details. This software is called a "client". This "client" is called "Eddie", because that's what AirVPN calls it. So when you hear talk of "Eddie", it's referring to the software you downloaded. If you don't want to use Eddie for some reason, there's ways of getting around it. But for new and casual users, it's recommended that you use it. If normal Installer Formats create problems, you can sometimes fix them by using the portable formats. A portable download is also useful if you want to store Eddie on a USB stick. If the latest Stable or Experimental release doesn't work for you, then you can download an earlier version, by clicking the "Other versions" link under the blue download button. How and where do I manage my AirVPN settings? You do that in the Client Area Some of the most important things in this area include: Configuration Generator Ports Referrals Number 1 is where you automatically generate the files that your VPN needs to work (if you don't use the Eddie Client, such as if you use Android), after you tick some boxes. Number 2 allows you to tell the VPN which "ports" or "virtual doors" to open, which can speed up things such as your Bittorent client (qBittorent, uTorrent, Vuze, Transmission, etc.) Even though it looks confusing, the only thing you actually need to change, is putting the right number in the "Local Port" field. So if your torrent program uses port 7634 for instance, then you put 7634 into the "Local Port" field and simply click the green add button. Then a number will automatically be generated and put into the big white box at the top. All done. Number 3 shows you the link you can share with other people. If they buy an AirVPN plan, you get 20% of what they pay. Then you can use this money to pay for your own plan. What if I need help during the process? If you need help from Air, you can easily contact them. If you're wondering why AirVPN doesn't have "Livechat" or might take a little longer to reply than other providers, then this is why. However you can also just come to these forums. If you can't post yet, then you can read the various guides which exist. In the AirVPN program called Eddie, there's a tab called "logs", which lists various information about what's happening. You can copy this and post it on the forums so we can help. But when you post your logs, MAKE SURE you post them inside "spoiler tags". If you don't use spoiler tags, you will annoy and make things more difficult for everyone, including yourself. I've used untold numbers of spoilers in this guide, as an example. What are logs, where are they and how do I use spoiler tags? When the AirVPN Eddie software is running, it creates a list of what it is doing. What's connecting, when, where, if something went wrong and so on. A log of events. So when you ask for help on these forums, we will often ask about your logs, because without logs, we do NOT know what is happening, in your specific situation . If you open the AirVPN "Eddie" client software, you will see a "Logs" tab. On the top right-hand side of the window, the 2nd button from the top, lets you copy your logs quickly. After copying the logs from Eddie, paste them into your posts when you need help. Do so by typing the short codes necessary; which we call using "Spoiler tags". This makes it much more convenient for everyone; just like this question and answer, is inside a spoiler . Please try to do it, thank you! Is there anything in my AirVPN account I should change? Go to the top-right corner of the screen and click your account username. Then click "My Settngs" in the drop-down box. Under "Profile Privacy", you might wish to un-check the checkbox, if you want others to be able to view your profile when clicking your name. Under the "Notification Options" tab and then under the header "Topics & Posts", check the box which lets you auto-follow things you reply to. This is very useful. Because then you'll get a little notification in the top-right corner, every time someone replies to a thread you made. This makes getting help more convenient. It's also good for following what's happening in threads that you post in. Remember to check the boxes on the right-hand side, so that you can choose if you want to be notified via the forum or via E-mail . You can also enable notifications for when people "like" your posts, since that can be quite encouraging! Under "Profile Settings", you might be curious about who visited your profile. So you can make it show the last 5 visitors. Everything else such as signatures, allowing others to add you as a friend and so on, are up to you. Enjoy! Is there an Experimental or Beta version of the AirVPN Eddie Client I can try? If so, where is it and why would I want to try it? Note that whenever you download the Beta/Experimental Client, you'll always receive the latest one. You can check your version number after you open Eddie and go to its "About" page. There aren't always any Experimental clients to download and new clients are continuously released. So keep an eye on the announcement section, for Beta/Experimental clients. Just because a release is called the "Stable" version, it doesn't mean the Beta/Experimental client is "Unstable". However don't be surprised if you run into issues . You can find the Beta versions [if one is available] on the download page of your OS, under "Other versions": If for some reason an Eddie client doesn't work, try downloading a "portable" version on the OS download page, under "Format". Being Beta/Experimental, you might run into some bugs. However I use the latest all the time, with no problems really. For more information on what features are added and bugs taken away, go straight to the changelog The Beta/Experimental client often includes fixes for bugs which the "Stable" version of Eddie has, as well as various extra features and changes. This helps all platforms. For example, for Windows, a prior Beta release used WFP (Windows Filtering Platform), instead of Windows Firewall, which meant it became easier to use 3rd party security software. 3rd party security software, are things such as Comodo firewall or Avast anti-virus. Things which you install yourself. In addition, it also comes with the latest software updates "out-of-the-box", such as the latest TAP drivers and OpenVPN patches, so you don't have to update them yourself. It may enable some things by default, which a current Stable version requires you to change yourself (as explained in the next section of this guide). By using the Beta, you can also help AirVPN by providing feedback, which means Air can then make things even better . Each Beta release has its own feedback thread. Just remember to describe the problem, tell us which system you use (Linux/Windows/MacOS/etc.), the client version (Go to Eddie client "About" page) and some logs in spoilers! : D. Thanks! After Downloading The Eddie Client Please remember to share your Eddie logs and use spoiler tags, when you need help from the community. How to do so, is answered in the previous section, thank you! What's "Network Lock" & should I use it? Please be aware that using Network Lock with Tor can be contradictory to try. It's not currently planned for. Please also note that it's expected that Eddie turns off Network Lock, when Eddie is shut down. Network Lock in AirVPN, is what many other VPN providers normally call a "killswitch". So this is Airs own "killswitch". Network Lock (NL) is a way for the AirVPN software to force all of your computers network communications through the AirVPN service, so that nothing "leaks out" about your identity. For new users, I don't recommend using it too soon. I recommend waiting a few days and just getting comfortable with the day-to-day running of the software and then using it later. With NL on, your internet connection will stop entirely, if you lose connection to the Air servers. This is great for preventing information from leaking & is a feature, not a bug. Why is this important? Well, I don't want to name & shame other providers, but one poster showed that his last provider leaked his real IP address during server changes. This shouldn't happen. But with NL on, this won't happen to you, because changing servers in Eddie will mean disconnecting from server A to go to server B. Thus the connection is stopped first & then resumed. No leaks. But if you want maximum security right away and aren't afraid of small technical issues, you can start using it right away. It can always be changed back.. How can I test that AirVPN is hiding my IP and DNS addresses correctly? Turning on Network Lock in the Eddie client will protect you from WebRTC leaks. You can use AirVPNs own service called ipleak.net. Make sure it's .net and NOT .com. Since ipleak.net is run by Air, it has now received its own sub-forum, where you can ask questions, give suggestions and receive information on any changes made to ipleak. Un-configured, browsers like Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome will "leak" (show) your real IP address through a technology called "WebRTC". To stop WebRTC, scroll to the bottom of the ipleak page and read the very short and simple instructions on how to fix it. It's not overly technical, don't worry. If you torrent files, there's also a torrent on the same website, which you can download in order to test which IP other torrenters would see if you torrented a real file. It's recommended you use Free & Open Source Software(FOSS). With this client, you can make it bind itself to whichever network adapter is using the VPN, which is convenient, so that it only torrents when using a VPN. I can recommend setting ipleak.net as your browser start page, so that every time you start your browser, you'll quickly be able to see if everything is working as intended. Eddie can't connect or is very slow, what can I do? If none of the below solutions work, then it's time to ask the forums or Air support. In BOTH cases, please supply your logs, as detailed before. Otherwise no one can help you. First, please make sure your client is updated to the latest Stable or Beta release. You can see your version number in Eddie>Top Left Corner Menu>About. Head to download page if not. Please try different protocols, at Eddie>Menu>Preferences>Protocols>Uncheck "Automatic">Select a protocol, such as SSL or TCP 443> Save>re-connect to an Air server. Please try connecting to not just different servers, but different countries too. Proximity to your location does not automatically mean better connections; due to routing technicalities. If you're an online gamer, you may benefit from changing the buffer sizes, as mentioned by Staff. If you're a Linux, MacOS or Windows user and webpages aren't loading fully or there's less than optimum speed, you can try the so-called "mssfix". If it's simply a problem with connecting to airvpn.org, then please try the alternate entry: airvpn.info - note that sometimes Air comes under attack from within and so you get an error page. If Eddie, such as in its Logs, says there's problems with route checking, please refer here for a solution. Note: disabling Preferences>DNS>Check Air DNS can be tried at the same time too. If you enabled Network Lock and can't connect to the web without Eddie turned on, then please disable Network Lock or reset your firewall and/or DNS, as shown in the two posts here. If torrenting speeds are slow, then please remember to port-forward and configure your torrent client correctly. For detailed guides on this, please go to the Guides Section below. For some ISPs, such as Virgin Media, please check the Guides Section below, for specific tutorials on how to optimize speeds. In some cases, especially if you run Air directly on your router, it's possible that your computer hardware isn't new enough to handle the encryption quickly enough. For Windows users, updating or downgrading the TAP adapter may work. But this shouldn't be tried as the first thing, as it's often not necessary now. For Windows users, you can try downloading a program called TCPOptimizer. Which other steps can I take to increase my privacy and security? Using AirVPN with Tor is a strong answer, among many other good ones. Here's a further explanation of how AirVPN & Tor work, when together. There's also many other ways to handle privacy and security on multiple fronts. If you're looking for a technical challenge, you can install pfSense on a very powerful computer, to make it act like a router, so that all devices connected to your Wi-Fi will be covered by the VPN. Why not just use an expensive commercial router? Because even expensive ones struggle to handle the protocol known as "OpenVPN" efficiently enough to give excellent performance. You can change the software & hardware you use & support the organisations which try to make things better; such as the FSF/EFF. If you're a geek or networking enthusiast, you can also check out things such as the Turris Omnia router, which offers very powerful hardware & software.

Version 2.24.4 (Thu, 14 Nov 2024 11:40:14 +0000) [bugfix] [windows] Fixed an issue with portable edition 2.24.3 [change] [all] Minor improvements [change] [linux] Fixed an issue with network lock with iptables-legacy (also Arch distro) [change] [all] Migration from DotNet7 to DotNet8

This is fine. Thanks for the info. This is what was confusing me and I suppose the timing was just coincidental, rather than M247 having for instance better DDoS mitigation.

I understand this may be out of your hands but from my perspective I miss Haedus dearly at the moment 😥

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.

Doing an update from 2.24.2 > 2.24.3, eddie crashes and the network lock turns off and can't be turned on again. F 2024.11.09 17:16:35 - Exception: ip6tables-restore v1.8.10 (legacy): multiple -d flags not allowed F 2024.11.09 17:16:35 - Error occurred at line: 30 F 2024.11.09 17:16:35 - Try `ip6tables-restore -h' or 'ip6tables-restore --help' for more information Tried rebooting, and same thing happens.

In regards to this: I confirm that after installing 2.24.3 on my two machines, Eddie process CPU usage stays at 0-0.1% when in background. Thanks for releasing a fix

Hello! Yes, that's probably why it is no more available. It was a FAQ and then removed as outdated. @Abstain9194 please ignore the out of date recommendation. Kind regards

Aah, please don't use ipv6-test.com anymore, it's been severely undermaintained for at least two years now. The v6 tests work maybe 10% of all times, and even the v4 tests are very slow to show. Kind of a bane to quote a post from five years ago; I wasn't even sure those Firefox options were still in effect but at least they still are. Day by day it seems nothing is changing but look back and everything is different.

There was some form of discussion at the end there which turned a bit toxic, if I remember correctly. netsh interface ipv6 show prefixpolicies looks very similar.

Hello! A relevant part of the infrastructure in the USA has been under attack in the last 48 hours. The redundancy is currently guaranteeing the usual high quality of service: 200'000 Mbit/s are available and distributed throughout the whole USA territory. The uptime of the new 10 Gbit/s servers in Arizona and California is 100% so check your facts. Everything can be improved and we will work to improve, 14 years of experience are not chicken feed. In the meantime please take note that in the last 8 months the Tzulo infrastructure, provisioning connectivity to Polis and NYC servers you mention with disgraceful disdain and superficiality, as well as other servers in strategic areas of the USA, has been consistently providing the top speed in the world to AirVPN clients often beating the old "all time high" of 1 Gbit/s on the client side (2 Gbit/s on the server) with WireGuard. (EDIT: the current ATH is 1.5 Gbit/s client side). Kind regards

I think programmatically building the pf.conf is necessary here. You can use the API to fetch the server list and their IP addresses, filter the returned JSON with jq and fill in the blanks in the script that way. It will require learning the jq syntax in addition to the pf syntax, but if that works, whenever the infrastructure changes, you'll just have to execute that script and the pf.conf will be updated. And, by the way, IPLeak features an API, too.

Thank you, fixed.

Noticed this a few hours ago with great speeds. Airvpn is awesome!

make sure to try wireguard if you haven't already

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

This is indeed great news! Well done AirVPN! Does it include Saclateni, which was recently deployed late of last year? If so, are the new servers more powerful than Saclateni? And will each of these servers have full-duplex bandwidth of 20 Gbps? As you can see from the attached screenshot, connecting to Saclateni from Anaheim, CA, it shows similar latency (~ 8-9 ms) to other servers (Groombridge and Teegarden) in Los Angeles, CA. However, it's always puzzled me why I'd get similarly low latency (~ 8-9 ms) to other servers (Bootes, Chalawan, Indus, and Virgo) in Phoenix, AZ. How is it possible? It defies the laws of physics! Anaheim, CA to Los Angeles, CA is a shorter distance than to Phoenix, AZ. And latency is definitely affected by distance. Unless these ISPs figure out a way to tunnel packets through a worm hole! I call shenanigans! 😁

Seems to be working OK so far.

Hello! The current Phoenix servers are in a Cogent datacenter in Phoenix, see also our previous message. Any provider may offer services inside totally owned or partially owned datacenters, or from not owned at all datacenters where entire racks are rented or similar agreements are finalized. The new Phoenix servers are in Phoenix, shipped at the beginning of October and arrived on site a few days ago, they are already connected and working, we are testing them and we are confident we will announce them before the end of October. There are dozens of datacenters in Phoenix, around 75 or so, including big ones like Google, Apple, NTT, Cogent and more. Kind regards

Grazie, Edoardo - ciao from New World.

There is an option for that starting from around Android 12 or so; it's found in the connection, hotspot or VPN settings and is called something like Allow clients to use VPN. If it's not there, you will need root because your manufacturer has not enabled this option in its Android distribution.

Disappointed this is called "province of China" in Eddie, hope this is an oversight.

Currently in Russia, I can confirm that OpenVPN UDP without any extra config (on any port) works on some US, NL and LV servers on mobile networks (MegaFon, MTS). On household connections, regular OpenVPN does not seem to work at all, but regular WireGuard sometimes does. When it doesn't work, the connection handshake usually succeeds, but no traffic passes. But what I wanted to share is that I've had near 100% success (on both household and mobile connections) using the AmneziaWG client with many (most?) AirVPN servers. This is a client that introduces modified handshake parameters intended to fool DPI, while remaining compatible with the vanilla WireGuard server implementation, and it's available for all platforms (you can always compile from source, but at the time of writing there are binaries available at least for Windows, iOS and Mac OS and Android. Linux kernel modules and binaries are also available on Github). Note: there is also an "AmneziaVPN" GUI client but I prefer to use the bare protocol implementation instead. These additional parameters are needed in the WireGuard config file generated by the Config Generator (check the Amnezia documentation for a detailed explanation), and have been verified to work: [Interface] Jc = 3 Jmin = 40 Jmax = 70 S1 = 0 S2 = 0 H1 = 1 H2 = 2 H3 = 3 H4 = 4

Hello! Some customers have contacted the support team asking for a comment on the port shadow attack described in CVE-2021-3773 and brought into the spotlight for the umpteenth time during the Privacy Enhancing Technologies Symposium 2024: https://citizenlab.ca/2024/07/vulnerabilities-in-vpns-paper-presented-at-the-privacy-enhancing-technologies-symposium-2024/ To explain why, unlike many other VPN services, AirVPN is not vulnerable to various attacks under the generic port shadow umbrella, please download the new paper and read below while watching table 2 on page 121: in our infrastructure public entry-IP addresses and public exit-IP addresses are not the same (M6). This is an absolute protection against ATIP, connection inference, and port forwarding overwrite and also makes port scan impossible (another reason for which port scan is impossible is given by additional isolation, see the end of the message) per-host connection limit is enforced (M3) making eviction re-route extremely difficult if not impossible static private IP address is implemented (M2) with WireGuard (it can be changed by explicit key renewal user's action) and highly likely with OpenVPN as long as the user connects to the same server with the same key, another (redundant) protection against port scan In our infrastructure additional protections are in place. We prefer not to disclose them all at the moment, we will just mention the block of any communication between nodes in the same virtual network either through private or public addresses. That's why, unlike any corporate VPN with shared resources, you can't contact any service inside the VPN (except the DNS), not even your own, from a machine connected to the same VPN in our infrastructure. Decapsulation as described on the paper is doomed to fail for this isolation/compartmentalization and this is also another reason for which port scans are not possible. TL;DR AirVPN infrastructure, according to the current state of the art in remediation and mitigation by security researchers as well as paper authors, is not vulnerable to the attacks described under the port shadow umbrella in this new paper. Kind regards & datalove AirVPN Staff

Currently breaking the record on Xuange, I’m using WireGuard and I have a 2 Gbit/s line, which means that I have 0% bandwidth loss with the VPN. @Staff <3

Recently moved from Virgin Media to Zen Broadband here in the UK. With VM's 1G Volt package the most I ever got while on AirVPN was around 450Bpms but a huge jump with Zen Broadband.

Hello! The Express VPN interface causes a critical error to OpenVPN: Tell Eddie to ignore any alien interface: Select from Eddie's main window Preferences > Networking, write eddie in the "VPN interface name" field click Save. You may also consider to switch to WireGuard to bypass the alien interface. You can do it in Preferences > Protocols window. Uncheck Automatic, select a WireGuard connection mode and click Save. Kind regards

Thanks support / staff for re-opening and the help to recover access to my account, I don't like writing long messages on forums and subreddits and I asked to reopen for I wanted to give my quick 2 cents to the thread but I found a lock. Last year, around christmas holidays, I stumbled on the comparison table linked by OP and saw lots of errors for another vpn i use and for airvpn that i use with another account, and I wrote a personal message from a reddit account to the author telling only to check some data. I spent quite some time to send links to make him verify conveniently but i received no replies and the errors are not corrected, so i decided to stop wasting time with it, however when i saw this thread... I felt angry and i wanted to confirm the bad experience and make more people aware of the problems of this table, very misleading and injurious for some vpn like airvpn. Keep up the good work and good luck for everything.

"It" had a year and more to fix the errors - sounds enough time to me - but "it" didn't. Instead "it" wrote that the 2023 update was done on March 23, 2023, and then "it" deleted messages documenting the data to check and fix. Yes I received a thank you and as soon as my message was getting upvoted it was deleted. Same thing happened to a friend of mine and now I wonder to how many more. Sure it can happen. Who knows, if "it" did not delete my message and other messages they could have been reminders for this forgetful reviewer. Sounds great to me. Hope you're right that "it" is not a malicious reviewer "per se" really, but too easy to fix only when you see that the shit is going to hit the fan, after years of damages vs. independent VPN, so I want to see a consistent honesty and accuracy in the following years. I honestly hope, believe me, that "this one" is not like "that one" guy, who played the part of the goody-goody while secretly arranging a sale to get money from the usual commercial reviewers paid for bogus reviews. While I am writing this message, the table still contains all the errors boosting Kape conglomerate and the Nord VPN, and penalizing the independent VPN. Time passes, tick-tock, tick-tock.

And have you tried that?

Go to Forwarded ports and forward a new port. In the DDNS field, enter a DDNS name, for example, myserver. When you click on +Add, and after some waiting, your connected client can be reached through myserver.airdns.org.
