Hello! We're very glad to announce that Eddie Android edition 4.0.0 Beta 1 is now available. This is a major update: for the first time Eddie Android edition features AmneziaWG complete support. Eddie Android edition is a fully integrated with AirVPN, free and open source client allowing comfortable connections to AirVPN servers and generic VPN servers offering compatible protocols. Eddie 4.0.0 aims primarily at adding, besides the already available OpenVPN and WireGuard, a thorough and comfortable AmneziaWG support. AmneziaWG is a free and open source fork of WireGuard by Amnezia inheriting the architectural simplicity and high performance of the original implementation, but eliminating the identifiable network signatures that make WireGuard easily detectable by Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) systems. It can operate in several different ways, including a fallback, "compatibility mode" with WireGuard featuring anyway various obfuscation techniques. What's new in Eddie 4.0.0 AmneziaWG support Amnezia WireGuard API updated OpenSSL, OpenVPN3-AirVPN and WireGuard libraries see the complete changelog below AmneziaWG overview From the official documentation: https://docs.amnezia.org/documentation/amnezia-wg AmneziaWG offers: Dynamic Headers for All Packet Types (compatibility with WireGuard: YES) During tunnel initialization, the library generates a set of random constants applied to each of the four WireGuard packet formats: Init, Response, Data, Under‑Load. These constants: Replace predictable WireGuard packet identifiers; Shift offsets of Version/Type fields; Modify reserved bits. As a result, no two clients have identical headers, making it impossible to write a universal DPI rule. Handshake Length Randomization (compatibility with WireGuard: NO) In WireGuard, the Init packet is exactly 148 bytes, and the Response packet is exactly 92 bytes. AmneziaWG adds pseudorandom prefixes S1 and S2 (0-64 bytes by default): len(init) = 148 + S1 len(resp) = 92 + S2 Offsets of the remaining fields are automatically adjusted, and MAC tags are recalculated accordingly. In order to keep backward compatibility with WireGuard, S1 and S2 must be set to 0. Obfuscation Packets I1-I5 (Signature Chain) & CPS (Custom Protocol Signature) (compatibility with WireGuard: partial, with fallback) Before initiating a "special" handshake (every 120 seconds), the client may send up to five different UDP packets fully described by the user in the CPS format. In this way AmneziaWG can mimic perfectly QUIC, DNS and other protocols adding powerful methods to circumvent blocks. QUIC is particularly interesting as HTTP/3 is built on it and currently, from Chrome and other compatible browsers, 50% of traffic to/from Google is QUIC traffic. Therefore, blocking QUIC may have major disruptions for any ISP. Junk‑train (Jc) (compatibility with WireGuard: YES) Immediately following the sequence of I-packets, a series Jc of pseudorandom packets with lengths varying between Jmin and Jmax is sent. These packets blur the timing and size profile of the session start, significantly complicating handshake detection. Under‑Load Packet (compatibility with WireGuard: YES) In WireGuard, a special keep-alive packet (“Under-Load”) is used to bypass NAT timeouts. AmneziaWG replaces its fixed header with a randomized one, the value of which can be set manually. This prevents DPI from filtering short ping packets, ensuring stable tunnel connections, especially on mobile networks. How to use Eddie with AmneziaWG To enable AmneziaWG mode, just tap the connection mode available in the main and other views. It will rotate between WireGuard, AmneziaWG and OpenVPN. Set it to AmneziaWG. In its default AmneziaWG mode, Eddie will use all the possible obfuscation, except protocol mimicking, that keeps WireGuard compatibility, thus allowing connections to AirVPN servers. The default settings choice was possible thanks to the invaluable support of persons living in countries where VPN blocks are widespread. Such settings have been tested as working and capable to bypass the current blocking methods in various countries. You may consider to modify them if they are ineffective to bypass "your" specific blocks. In Settings > Advanced, you will find, at the bottom of the page, a new "Custom Amnezia WG directives" item. By tapping it you will summon a dialog that will let you customize any possible AmneziaWG parameter. You can maintain backward compatibility with WireGuard in the dialog WireGuard section, or enable the full AmneziaWG support in the Amnezia section, which is not compatible (at the moment) with AirVPN WireGuard servers. This mode will be mostly valuable in a not distant future, when AirVPN servers will start to support AmneziaWG natively. You may also enable QUIC or DNS mimicking for additional obfuscation efficacy. In order to maintain WireGuard backward compatibility, with or without QUIC or DNS mimicking, you must set: S1 = S2 = 0 Hn ∈ {1, 2, 3, 4} H1 ≠ H2 ≠ H3 ≠ H4 Furthermore, do not exceed the valid limit of the J parameters (anyway Eddie will not let you do it). In this preview version, Eddie's formal control of the input data is based on the following document. We strongly recommend you read it if you need to modify manually parameters: https://github.com/amnezia-vpn/amneziawg-linux-kernel-module?tab=readme-ov-file#configuration Please do not modify In parameters if you don't know exactly what you're doing. Eddie implements QUIC and DNS mimicking and random obfuscation packets for each specific "I" parameter (by using the corresponding "Generate" button). You can enable them with a tap on the proper buttons. You may mimic QUIC and DNS even to connect to WireGuard based servers. When you enable QUIC mimicking and you maintain WireGuard backward compatibility, you add a powerful tool against blocks, because the first packets will be actual QUIC packets. AmneziaWG will fall back to WireGuard compatibility very soon. However, when DPI and SPI tools, and demultiplexers in general, identify the initial QUIC flow, most of them will be unable to detect a WireGuard flow for several minutes. This has been tested thoroughly with deep packet inspection on Linux and FreeBSD based machines by AirVPN staff. Therefore, in different blocking scenarios the QUIC mimicking increases likelihood of successful block bypass. NOTE: the same does not happen with DNS mimicking. In this case DPI / SPI tools identify the stream initially as DNS, but are much quicker (just in a few dozens of packets) to identify the stream as WireGuard's, after the initial DNS identification. If you decide to test, please report at your convenience any bug and problem in this thread. If possible generate a report from the app in a matter of seconds: by tapping the paper plane icon on the Log view bar rightmost side you will generate a full system report which will include both log and logcat and have it sent to our servers. Then you just need to send us the link the app shows you (open a ticket if you prefer to do it in private).

Hi all, I've always been trying to maximize my seeding speeds when using qBittorrent, and a lot of information I found online was not very helpful. My setup is qBittorrent 4.3.9 from hotio with Gluetun on TrueNAS Fangtooth. My best speeds have been obtained on the servers Taiyangshou and Vindemiatrix with WireGuard. I am in North America, but I don't think latency matters as much as I originally thought for P2P use cases. These two servers in the Netherlands have been very nice and I definitely recommend trying out different servers. In my use case, I have hundreds of larger torrents, maybe half are 50 GB+. I have found that since I am using hard drives, the random reads will quickly overwhelm them even with ARC and L2ARC, thus setting the "Global maximum number of upload slots" is very useful (this is the only one I have turned on in the "Connection" tab). This limits the total number of peers you can upload to globally, and the idea is that you limit the total amount of random reads this way. The magic number that works the best for me is 50, and I recommend trying around this range by increments of 5 might work nice. Additionally, I could keep increasing the "Global maximum number of upload slots" without much rise in iowait, but total throughput would decrease. Therefore, when optimizing this setting it is a balance between enough slots to saturate your bandwidth, but not too much where it spreads the bandwidth too thin and negatively impacts total throughput. I have also attached the advanced settings that I changed which seemed to make the greatest impact. Send buffer watermark: 6144 KiB Send buffer low watermark: 3072 KiB Send buffer watermark factor: 200 % Socket backlog size: 4096 I hope this is helpful! Best, Hypertext1071 Edit: For further tuning this might be helpful: https://github.com/felikcat/seedbox-tutorial. Edit 2: Using the settings from here: https://github.com/felikcat/seedbox-tutorial, including the sysctl configuration completely saturate my line speed. I was trying to search for qBittorrent in particular, and thus wasn't able to find results that were generally helpful, such as network tuning.

Hello and welcome! Another interesting use case is when you live in a country where trying to access the Tor network raises a red flag on you but the HTTP/3 (QUIC) traffic does not. So you first circumvent the blocks via some adequate VPN related protocol that looks like QUIC and only then you fire up Tor, so the regime can't trivially infer that you're trying to use Tor. Sometimes it is more practical and safer than struggling to find Tor bridges: a risk assessment is due, on a case by case basis. Kind regards

Hello! Be aware that 4 Mbit + 4 Mbit/s of guaranteed allocation is great for the pricing of AirVPN. Our competitors offer 0.0 (best effort, no minimum allocation guaranteed). Please consider that if residential ISPs in Europe had all of their customers connected simultaneously and requiring full bandwidth at the same time, the allocation by most of such ISPs (if performed equally for each customer) would be between 0.1 and 10 Mbit/s. The biggest ISPs in Europe (example: TIM in Italy) have an average per residential customer consumption (fixed lines: in mobility much less) of 190 GB/month, which on average means 0.58 Mbit/s throughout the month. Residential networks are normally designed and sized on the basis of these values with congestion control (traffic shaping) during peak hours or any unexpected event. Guaranteeing no overselling beyond 4 + 4 Mbit/s was and is even nowadays a significant effort by AirVPN. In practice, as you can see on the "Top User Speed" chart, users can easily beat 500 Mbit/s, there is no congestion. But if all customers connected at the same time (assuming a fair distribution on all servers) then everyone would anyway have 4 Mbit/s (4 + 4 server side). Kind regards

Are you sure you don't have an option somewhere in the gateway settings to prevent opnsense making static routes for monitor IP? I have that in pfsense. I usually trace the route through the VPN interface to anything (e.g. 9.9.9.9) and then use the first or second hop as the monitor address for that gateway. In past experience I've had times where gateway monitoring said everything was fine but reaching the internet wasn't happening. That's why I've taken to pinging something on the other side of the VPN gateway.

Hello! With WireGuard it's a very good choice as the DNS server IP address (10.128.0.1) is also the VPN gateway address, on every and each server since the WireGuard network is one. With OpenVPN, you have different subnet on every server though and you can't rely on a fixed address. 10.4.0.1 is available on every server for DNS queries but does not respond to ping. You could consider to extract the gateway from the tun interface settings at each connection and ping that gateway. Kind regards

Do you intend to add it to PC's client at some point as well?

Hello, I would like some information regarding the possibility of AirVPN collecting IP addresses. AirVPN does not collect IP addresses by default, but would it be possible to set up a protocol dedicated to analyzing the behavior of a single user in particular following a judicial request? ProtonVPN makes it very clear how this logging works “upon judicial request”: https://protonvpn.com/blog/can-be-tracked-using-vpn#police Switzerland is a jurisdiction I'm familiar with, which doesn't allow a VPN provider to start recording logs about users. Is it the same in Italy? Can AirVPN staff comment on the legal requests they receive, and if they are forced to start a specific logging on a user at the request of justice? Does Italian law prevent this, or has it happened in the past? I'm an AirVPN user and I support the project being an activist too. These are just legitimate questions that I hope will be addressed by the staff. @Staff Good day to all

We have kept the OP message to show the pervasiveness of the PRC's propaganda lackeys. We consider Taiwan (Republic of China) to be independent and autonomous from the PRC (People's Republic of China), as it is in fact. ipleak uses MaxMind and IANA databases to display results, and we are pleased that these are aligned with an anti-imperialist and democratic vision that is clearly unpalatable to the dictatorial regime of the PRC, which sees it as an obstacle to its expansionist ambitions.

Hey there, Taiwan is a provincial administrative region of China, an inalienable part of China’s territory. But when I checked my IP on ipleak.net, I saw Taiwan was shown with those outdated flags, which is totally wrong. These flags don’t reflect the fact that Taiwan belongs to China. Using them misrepresents Taiwan’s status and goes against the One - China principle. It’s really important to fix this mistake. Please correct the display and stop using such wrong flags. Let’s make sure the info about Taiwan is right, in line with the One - China principle. Thanks for handling this!

Ok, so i got chown working, the "Terminal" app did not have permission to modify system files and i missed the notification advising this. After fixing that i had to change wireguard-go and wg to be owned by root to allow Eddie to work, but it is now connecting.

Hello! This is interesting. We are gradually activating IPv6 on every server, but you have IPv6 disabled at OS level, and this causes a fatal error. For the moment, you can: - Reactivate IPv6 No good reason is known to disable IPv6 at OS level. If you are scared about IPv6 leak when connecting to servers without IPv6 support, a cleaner solution is simply blocking IPv6 traffic with ip6tables. OR - Append the following directives in your .ovpn files: pull-filter ignore "route-ipv6" pull-filter ignore "redirect-gateway ipv6" pull-filter ignore "dhcp-option DNS6" pull-filter ignore "tun-ipv6" pull-filter ignore "ifconfig-ipv6" redirect-gateway def1 bypass-dhcp This will skip IPv6 configuration of tunnel and avoid your error. We are considering related options to Config Generator. Kind regards

The United States is an enemy of the Internet. More and more our technology and communications are captured illegaly and stored for many years and then used against us in court. The government seems to sincerely believe that it owns the Internet and regulary hacks into foreign servers to retrieve data, seizes domain names, etc. and any citizen who can be considered a hacker under broad laws will be thrown in prison. My warning as a US citizen is to watch out, encrypt, keep everything secure, keep data offshore, and avoid any US-influenced entities such as ICANN. Thank you AirVPN for the great continued service. I've been using multiple VPN connections almost constantly for the past year everywhere and as far as I can see that will continue
