Hello! We're very glad to announce that Eddie Android edition 4.0.0 Release Candidate 1 is now available. New CPS QUIC database: now Eddie features a CPS database of more than 30 real web sites allowing accurate QUIC + HTTP/3 mimicry of real services through AmneziaWG. Each database entry is identified by a clear label for immediate selection in the app's settings. Eddie will take care to compile AmneziaWG In parameters accordingly: no need for manual input, which anyway remains an available option. This addition significantly bolsters Eddie's arsenal against blocks. New: IPv4 and IPv6 traffic can now be wrapped over an IPv6 tunnel with WireGuard and AmneziaWG too. Minor bug fixes The original message of this thread has been updated accordingly. You will find on it the new download link and checksum, as well as detailed Amnezia description. 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). Kind regards & datalove AirVPN Staff

Hi, I'd like to suggest a feature that lets user to use a hostname that resolves to the best server from a user-defined list of servers. It will be similar to *.vpn.airdns.org but only resolves to one of the servers in the user-defined list. Eddie has a feature that works similarly by adding servers to allowlist. However, when Eddie can't be used, it is inconvenient. I hope you consider this suggestion. Thank you and have a nice day. Regards,

Hello! Or that any "Network Lock" mode is disabled by setting "Network Lock" box to "None" in "Preferences" > "Network Lock" window (default: "Automatic"), as it is indeed the case according to the system report (important option not at default: netlock.connection false) and considering that the user's system does have nft and iptables-* installed. Splitting the different cases with different messages and logging them will be suggested to devs. Kind regards

Hello! We're not ignoring it, did you read the update on the first message of this thread? Kind regards

Hello! We're very glad to announce that Eddie Android edition 4.0.0 has been released 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 adds, besides the already available OpenVPN and WireGuard, a thorough and comfortable AmneziaWG support. Source code available on GitLab: https://gitlab.com/AirVPN/EddieAndroid 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 stronger anti-blocking logic: ability to log in to the service and download AirVPN infrastructure and user data while connected through a profile with a specific option on the left pane ability to read and use local user data when bootstrap servers are unreachable CPS packets database of 30+ real websites, currently allowing accurate QUIC + HTTP/3 traffic mimicry to and from real web sites through AmneziaWG CPS. Each entry is easily selectable and identified by a clear label support for wrapping both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic over an IPv6 tunnel with WireGuard and AmneziaWG (previously available only with OpenVPN) new "Open with..." option on top of the usual "Share" (now renamed "Export") option to manage and export comfortably generated profiles on any Android version with any suitable application updated AmneziaWG parameters allowed ranges support of latest AmneziaWG padding features vastly improved NetworkMonitor and Tile Service updated OpenSSL, OpenVPN3-AirVPN and WireGuard libraries full compatibility from Android 5.1 to Android 16, including Android TV bug fixes see the complete changelog here: https://gitlab.com/AirVPN/EddieAndroid/-/blob/master/ChangeLog.txt?ref_type=heads 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: As a result, no two clients have identical headers, making it impossible to write a universal DPI rule. Replace predictable WireGuard packet identifiers; Shift offsets of Version/Type fields; Modify reserved bits. Handshake Length Randomization and message padding (compatibility with WireGuard: NO) In WireGuard, the Init packet is exactly 148 bytes, and the Response packet is exactly 92 bytes. AmneziaWG adds message paddings: S1: int - padding of handshake initial message S2: int - padding of handshake response message S3: int - padding of handshake cookie message S4: int - padding of transport messages Offsets of the remaining fields are automatically adjusted, and MAC tags are recalculated accordingly. In order to keep backward compatibility with WireGuard, S1, S2, S3 and S4 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. Note that a CPS database of 30+ real web sites is available in Eddie Android edition: you can activate CPS mimicking traffic to real web sites with a tap. Eddie will take care to compile properly Amnezia's In parameters for accurate mimicry. 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 = S3 = S4 = 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 Custom Protocol Signature with database included Working in AmneziaWG mode, Eddie implements QUIC and DNS mimicry and 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. Please do not modify In parameters if you don't know exactly what you're doing. Eddie's CPS database is available at your fingertip for accurate mimicry of traffic to and from real web sites using HTTP/3 (other protocols may be added in the future), so you don't need to look for and enter specific sequences. Settings > Advanced > Custom AmneziaWG directives > Enable CPS > Presets > select the web site whose traffic must be imitated . Currently, you can find a database that contains more than 30 actual packet signatures and sequences of real web sites. Select one and Eddie will adjust all the parameters automatically and will use them in the next AmneziaWG connection. 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 mimicry increases likelihood of successful block bypass. NOTE: the same does not happen with DNS mimicry. 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. How to use Eddie in network where the "bootstrap" servers can not be reached Eddie downloads user and infrastructure data, essential to use the service, from special "bootstrap servers" through an encrypted flow inside HTTP. If the bootstrap servers are blocked or the underlying protocol to port 80 is filtered out, Eddie is unable to proceed. Starting from this Eddie 4 version, the ability to retrieve such data locally has been added. Whenever bootstrap servers are unreachable, Eddie can read the latest available local data to connect to a VPN server. Once connected the bootstrap servers are again reachable and the local data are immediately updated for future usage. The local data remain valid as long as you don't need to change user. On top of all of the above, Eddie can now retrieve such data through the login procedure that now can be started even when a connection to a VPN server was previously established via a profile. Therefore, when you are in a restrictive network that blocks access to bootstrap servers, you can connect through a profile generated by AirVPN web site Configuration Generator. After this first connection, log your account in to the service by selecting the specific option on the left pane, enter your AirVPN account credentials as usual and make sure that Remember me checkbox is ticked: Eddie will download all the necessary files and store them locally. This procedure is "once and for all", at least as long as you don't need to change account. After this initial connection, Eddie will be able to log your account in to the infrastructure, retrieve servers data and establish connections without profiles and without bootstrap servers, offering again full AirVPN integration even when bootstrap servers are unreachable. Only If you change account you must repeat the procedure. New: "Open with..." option added to "Export" option Different Android versions allow management of files with different restrictions. Different apps may support different intents on specific Android versions. To enlarge total compatibility, now Eddie offers two different options to export and manage files, including generated profiles. You will find the usual "Share" option (note: now renamed into "Export") coupled with a new "Open with..." option. Some apps support only one intent, other apps only specific intents on specific Android versions, and so on. By adding this option Eddie enlarges considerably the amount of apps you will be able to open and/or share files with.

Youtube is asking for login now over all new UK servers.. What a pain in the arse Youtube is. Any ideas? I hate creating a google account only for that

Hello! Welcome aboard. 1. Yes, correct. 2. Yes, correct. 3. With a port linked to "All devices" this is not possible, because you create an unsupported case in forwarding rules, i.e. the same packet to a specific VPN server public IP address port should be forwarded to the port of multiple VPN IP addresses. This is not implemented and also poses a technical challenge in our infrastructure that's not trivial. To overcome this situation you must use unique key pair for each device and take care to link each port to a single device. Alternatively, a simpler solution is just connecting each device to a different VPN server (your 2nd scenario). Kind regards

I'm not sure how viable would be to have a UK region going forward... UK daddy government is constantly forcing ISPs to block access to sites. I had a number of trackers failing in Prowlarr and the reason was the above. So I had switched over to another region, although I'd love to use the shiny new UK servers. Also Cloudflare has been acting weird lately

I need more features but I do stick with AirVPN! Please give us dark mode, an easy way of doing split tunneling as well and maybe sort out something so tailscale can work side by side so we can have our computer meshes working outside the tunnel!

"We are currently working on a substantial codebase refactoring aimed at evolving Eddie Desktop into a more modern client." More than needed. The UI looks like one of XP times. Not a single other provider uses a ancient UI like that. I also need to use a 3. party Client (WireSock) to use application/folder split tunneling. Application Split-Tunneling is also something every single other provider has since a long time now. The reason i use Air is trust. If i look at the outdated applications i raither use other providers who hold theirs more up to date but most i just dont trust at all so im stucked with Air and a 3. party application for now since i use split-tunneling 24/7.

I'm inclined to write: seeing as the post has absolutely no information to start troubleshooting. Unless you expect someone to hack into your system. Or read your mind. Let's start with something simple anyone can do. Close Eddie, reopen, try a connection, then provide a system report..

Consider Kagi. You get a search engine that's actually not selling your data, and access to all the AI models to boot.

I've made a Linux shell script for batch-conversion of WireGuard .conf files making them AmneziaWG (awg) compatible: https://github.com/zimbabwe303/awg_conf_patch When patching it shuffles the H1..4 parameters; to re-shuffle you can just re-run it over the same files again. It also can shorten .conf file names generated with the AirVPN config generator to facilitate their usage with the 3rd-party smartphone WireGuard clients such as WG Tunnel (which uses AmneziaWG instead of the vanilla WireGuard).

Hello! Please note that OpenVPN 2.6 and higher versions (i.e. the OpenVPN version you meet on the servers) will push in any case IPv6 gateway, routes etc. Yes, we need to consider whether disabling the now misleading option completely on the CG. Kind regards

After having issues configuring AirVPN with Gluetun, and seeing many others with similar issues, I decided to fork the Gluetun project, strip out all the stuff I didn't want (OpenVPN, SOCKS, other providers)... here it is: Gluetun-AirVPN-Edition, supporting ONLY AirVPN and only WireGuard with a bunch on unique features. Still putting it together, but please feel free to take a look and hope you find it useful. https://github.com/wolffcatskyy/gluetun-airvpn-edition

Yeah, the lockup is a problem worth investigating (for the devs), but the underlying cause is it not detecting tools that are clearly there, which is just as puzzling. Explains the report output, then. Thanks!

Hello! Available in "Settings" > "System" > "Application Filter Type" > select white or black list, then compile the list on the new "Select applications to be *listed" menu item that will appear. BLACK LIST enabled: all the traffic is tunneled except the traffic of the black listed app(s). WHITE LIST enabled: only white listed apps will have their traffic tunneled. Kind regards

In Eddie Preferences > Protocols, untick Automatic and select UDP port 443. Retry a connection. If it still doesn't work, provide a system report instead of only the logs. .

Dark mode pretty please!! Keep up the good work! Thanks

Hello! We're glad to inform you that we have just released: "Road To OpenVPN 2.6" migration plan - https://airvpn.org/road_to_openvpn26/ A new version of Config Generator with options related to OpenVPN 2.6 A new Eddie Desktop beta release (2.23.0) related to the road above, feature-locked to reach stable release https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/56428-eddie-desktop-223-beta-released/ A new server (Marsic), the first running OpenVPN 2.6 powered by DCO (server-side) and ready for client-side DCO. UPDATE 2026-03-12 After careful evaluation and considering that: DCO for OpenVPN 2.6 is now considered obsolete the new DCO is aimed at OpenVPN 2.7 only DCO kernel module is included on mainline Linux kernel starting from 6.16 AirVPN VPN infrastructure is based on kernel 6.12 and OpenVPN 2.6 (typical setup of Debian 13, RHEL 10 etc.) OpenVPN usage declined dramatically: today only 24% of connections are based on OpenVPN, and the decline continues at a steady pace the combination of WireGuard and AmneziaWG is more effective than OpenVPN over TCP at bypassing blocks valuable packet payload padding (against encrypted traffic pattern analysis) is offered by AmneziaWG and not DCO: the plan has been momentarily frozen. It can be re-activated when the VPN infrastructure moves to kernel 6.16 (or higher version) and OpenVPN 2.7. Our priority goes to wider AmneziaWG support, on the client software first and then on the server side too (important especially for padding). Kind regards & datalove AirVPN Staff

I didn't bother waiting. Service seems worth it, I got a trial account and lived up to my expectations. Thank you

Hello! We're very glad to inform you that three new 10 Gbit/s full duplex servers located in Toronto (Ontario), Canada, are available: Castula, Chamukuy and Elgafar. 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, 47107 and 51820 UDP for WireGuard. They 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 : https://airvpn.org/servers/Castula https://airvpn.org/servers/Chamukuy https://airvpn.org/servers/Elgafar/ Do not hesitate to contact us for any information or issue. Kind regards & datalove AirVPN Staff

These were very much needed so I'm glad to see them added to the list

Roughly 60 GB. Always on. And if I did provide liberation services to the world, I would still stay below 100

With 300+ users you would need some beefy CPUs in the server. I would guess that is the bottleneck, not the actual connection. VPNs are encrypted and require the processing power to handle the number of users connected. Not sure what their server specs actually are, but would be curious to know.

Its a shame. These were among the absolute fastest (especially Chumukay) when they came on board. They smoked the high powered Chicago servers but they are not reliable for the past week or two. Right across the border in Chicago apparently nobody is attacking those servers.

Hello! Yes, current DDoS / flood unfortunately. Kind regards

Do you know why these new servers are having high packet loss?

Loving these new speedy servers! Would love to see some upgrades to the 2 overworked connections in Montreal.

Hi. Any plans for Eddie PC edition + AmneziaWG ?

Hello! We're very glad to announce that Eddie Android edition 4.0.0 beta 2 is now available. New: how to use Eddie in network where the "bootstrap" servers can not be reached Eddie downloads user and infrastructure data, essential to use the service, from special "bootstrap servers" through an encrypted flow inside HTTP.

giga omega based kornephoros was struggling to cope with extra demand after wurren was decommissioned. this is gonna be awesome.

Yes, I know. I wrote the whole guide back in 2012 and it's only been updated by scant few other users since then. I had the least amount of problems with Tomato than with any other router firmware I've ever used. Just brilliant. I wish it were still maintained.

Congratulations on the launch. This is great news for CA which has had most of its 2 Gbit/s servers pretty saturated during peak hours. Hopefully the ghost of Wurren does not come back to haunt us.

Yes. This is because the ISP has blocked the boot server. Please open the ticket to obtain the private boot server from the staff, or wait for the subsequent Android version update. It is said that in the subsequent version, the login information will be saved locally. Then, there will be no need to log in every time. Just log in once and you can use it as before, just like the computer version.

So i still can't reach airvpn servers in .Ru for logging in from my phone. Here is what i have: I can use airvpn from my PC, found a solution, but there is no such configuration for a phone. I try amnezia in the same networtk via wifi and can't even log in. But works fine if i start other vpn and open airvpn app, i get my subscriprion plan and other information. Should i ask support for private workaround solution?

Original message by @Pit61 . It updates the setup for FreshTomato based routers. Here is my working Open VPN config on a Netgear R7000 with Fresh Tomato:

Hello! We're glad to inform you that AmneziaWG support has been implemented in Eddie Android edition 4.0.0 beta 1 and it will be progressively implemented in all the other AirVPN software. https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/77633-eddie-android-edition-400-preview-available/ Eddie Android edition public beta testing is going very well and the development team is optimistic about a near future release. This is only partially true. When you use CPS on your side and you connect to a WireGuard based server, demultiplexers will identify the traffic according to the CPS settings (QUIC, DNS...) only initially. They will soon be able to detect the traffic as WireGuard traffic. With DNS mimicking this happens just after the handshake, while with QUIC the inspection tools need much more time. We can confirm the above after several experimental tests we repeatedly performed with deep packet inspection. Anyway QUIC mimicking is effective and actually it can nowadays bypass in about 100% of the cases the blocks in both Russia and China. But we have planned to support Amnezia on the server side too, because the current method is anyway not so strong on the long run. When we have Amnezia on the server side too, no tool is able to ever identify the traffic as WireGuard traffic: it remains indefinitely identified as QUIC. Currently we are still at a testing phase, but the outcome so far is very promising. Stay tuned! Kind regards

To give some numbers, with these settings along with MTU tuning (1440 in my case since no IPv6): I have been able to roughly 2.5x my speeds from 400 Mb/s average to 1000 Mb/s average which is essentially my line speed. Also, I have seen people ask about how to use Gluetun + qBittorrent in other posts, and this is where I learned how to do it: https://wiki.serversatho.me/. I hope these resources will help!

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.

Thank you! Please use the Configuration Generator. Turn on the "Advanced" switch. Generate a file with the Configuration Generator for WireGuard for the server or country you want to test. Download the file and edit it with any text editor. To begin with, add these parameters in the [Interface] section: Jc = 20 Jmin = 50 Jmax = 1000 S1 = 0 S2 = 0 H1 = 3 H2 = 1 H3 = 4 H4 = 2 Import the file into your PC AmneziaWG client, or use it with the AirVPN Suite component Hummingbird, and even in Eddie 4.0.0 (you can do it in the "VPN profiles" view once the file is in your Android device) and use it to test a connection in Amnezia mode. If it fails please try a connection directly from Eddie, without profile, in Amnezia WG. If it fails too enable QUIC mimicking in "Settings" > "Advanced" > "Custom AmneziaWG directives" and test again a connection. Keep us posted! Kind regards

These are the AmneziaWG parameters I use in China. This set of parameters can reliably bypass the GFW. Staff can take a look. Jc = 20; Jmin = 50; Jmax = 1000; S1 = 0; S2 = 0; H1 = 3; H2 = 1; H3 = 4; H4 = 2;

Great! Eddie finally supports AmneziaWG, and UDP finally has a masquerade protocol. Another protocol has been added to the list of protocols for bypassing China's Great Firewall.

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

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!

Hi Everyone! Over the years there's been advice to avoid μTP in torrent clients like qBittorrent and use TCP exclusively (when using a VPN). And I have followed this advice. But now I wanted to check in again to see if that is still the case - Is it still recommended to avoid μTP? I'm asking for two reasons - 1) when this advice first came out I think we only really had OpenVPN. Now the default is Wireguard. Does that change anything? And also 2) I recently had a couple of torrents I was trying to download and they were stalled and dead. But when I enabled μTP with TCP, they sprang to life and downloaded lickety-split. So, just wanted to see if anything had changed - or whether my experience was just an anecdotal one-off. Cheers!

Anyway I understand your position, no problem. Like Russians say "Сытый голодного не разумеет" ("the well-fed does never understand the hungry").

Yes. I have a use for ddg. Anyway, thank you for helping me. Turns out I had to set MTU to 1300 in Wireguard as someone in those threads replied. It's fixed now.

Well, to give a completely rudimentary course in how to get it up and running: Assuming you use windows you go to the "Enter" tab on this site while logged in, click on the windows icon and download the client from there. You then install the client. Then you find the "AirVPN" icon on your desktop and click it, then choose "connect to a recommended server" and wait for it to finish connecting. Then point your web browser to https://ipleak.net/ to confirm it's working, and it doesn't show your real info anymore. This should get you started using it, at least. You should be safe with the default settings. I then recommend searching the forum for any specific features you wonder about with the client, if you need port forwarding to work you can look at some of my recent posts on here for example. Oh, you might want to turn on the network lock on the login screen as well.
