    Hello! We're very glad to inform you that two new 10 Gbit/s full duplex servers located in Zurich, Switzerland, are available: Athebyne and Toliman. 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/Athebyne https://airvpn.org/servers/Toliman Do not hesitate to contact us for any information or issue.

    It's time to say goodbye. AirVPN is no longer really usable for me. Most of the servers I'm interested in are constantly overloaded, the connections are slow and the latency is poor. That's why I've decided to stop using AirVPN, even though I still have well over 800 days left on my subscription. The way things have been for a while now, normal use is no longer possible. It's a real shame, as I have been a loyal AirVPN user for a long time.

    Hello, I'm quite happy with my AirVPN setup, everything works, and I have nothing major to complain about. But from time to time when Fulu (the only brazilian server) gets full, speeds tank going from a good 500/300Mbps D/U to an average of 50/50Mbps D/U This usually happens during weekends when the server gets +100 sessions and the load is at the very limit (+1900/2000) This is quite frustrating, because I can't really stream any media and/or host my game server without having some type of instability. I know this can be quite the ask, but I really would like to see some improvements, since currently I'm only able to get around 40-50% of my real speeds (which are still pretty good), but at least having a stable connection would solve most problems. I don't expect this to happen overnight (or at all), but hopefully something can be done about this. Thanks for hearing me out.

    UK Server Loads

    I've seen a lot of UK servers with yellow or red capacity for quite a while now and am wondering if the absence of new UK servers are a result of the governments new privacy legislation and possible future restrictions on VPN's. With such a possibly volatile future maybe it's not prudent to improve servers there until the situation stabilises

    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!

    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.

    Just wanted to mention I had a similar issue and setting up duckdns with the dns-01 challenge worked perfectly. I tied my duckdns to the exit the VPN's IPv4, forwarded a port, then used certbot, (a venv to allow pip on a raspberry pi), 'pip install certbot_dns_duckdns' and the following: certbot certonly --non-interactive --agree-tos --preferred-challenges dns --authenticator dns-duckdns --dns-duckdns-credentials YOUR-TOKEN-UUID --dns-duckdns-propagation-seconds 60 -d yourdomain.duckdns.org --key-type ecdsa --elliptic-curve secp384r1 Thanks for your post, definitely wouldn't have figured this out otherwise!

    Just want to update this. Looks like speeds are stable after last maintenance, didn't get any faster, but they look like they used to, so it's good enough! Here's some speed tests from this week: As you can see, ~300Mbps down/up average throughout the week, with some highs of ~600/400Mbps down/up and lows of ~100Mbps Also, the server load is definitely better From constant +1900Mbits to ~500-1000Mbits, thanks for the maintenance, everything looking stable now.

    Hello! Unfortunately we have no updates at the moment and no ETA for operations resume. The problem is that the server network doesn't work properly, showing significant packet loss to and from all IP addresses. The datacenter technicians have been warned, of course, and we're waiting for their intervention and feedback. Kind regards

    Hello! Have you tested the AirVPN Suite for Linux? It should behave properly when systemd-resolved is installed but disabled, because for DNS management it does not invoke resolvconf (needed by WireGuard for this purpose). Kind regards
  18. 1 point
    It's also possible that systemd-resolved is installed but not enabled. Try sudo systemctl enable --now systemd-resolved before taking the DNS directive from the wireguard file. Source: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1732487
  19. 1 point
    If the above failed, try installing systemd-resolved using sudo dnf install systemd-resolved, then try raising the interface using the systemctl method again
  20. 1 point
    Try copying the file to /etc/wireguard and doing sudo systemctl start wg-quick@wg . This should bypass freedesktop and enable you to raise the interface. You can replace "wg" in systemctl start wg-quick@wg with whatever name your config file is. I use wg because your file is named wg.conf, but I do recommend renaming it after the airvpn server you are using, or some other nickname you have for it, like america. So, try copying it as america.conf into /etc/wireguard, then doing systemctl start wg-quick@america. If it fails, do systemctl status wg-quick@america and show the logs here

    "chat control" and VPNs inside EU

    Hello! VPNs are not in the scope of both the legislation and trivial tech considerations, as we don't have the keys for the communications: chat, instant messages and e-mails are encrypted end-to-end without our keys, but with the keys of the parties and/or the keys of the service offering e-mail / chat / messaging service, so we can't decrypt anything in any case. With that said, this abomination must be fought. We repute it is incompatible with the Charter of Fundamental Rights and with various CJEU decisions on data retention and privacy. We feel to share the position and the consideration offered by Tuta and EDRi here and here: https://tuta.com/blog/chat-control-criticism https://edri.org/our-work/most-criticised-eu-law-of-all-time/ Unfortunately, opposition has become more difficult because big AI actors see chat control as a great opportunity and they have spent tens of millions to lobby in favor of this abominable regulation. This is the main explanation that tells you why various politicians have changed their positions. Kind regards

    Eddie Android edition 3.2.1 available

    Issue: AirVPN Eddie Client GUI crashes when using Quick Connect option when all countries other than home country are forbidden while the 'Forbid quick connection to connect servers in my country' option is enabled in the settings. OS: Android 11 Version: 3.2.1 (November 7th 2024) Installation: Installed through the Google Play Store. Expected Behavior: The app shouldn't crash in this scenario, it should probably give a popup that that isn't allowed to the 'Forbid quick connection to connect servers in my country' setting.

    Go here using AirVPN website, ensure both machines have a different key, and reconnect one of your machines(I suggest reconnecting the remote machine) under a different key. If it still doesn't work, disconnect both sides from AirVPN, wait 5 minutes, and reconnect on both sides, ensuring that you selected a different key on both sides even before you start a connection.

    Yeah, I'm not 100% sure this is the problem, but speeds are getting worse by the day. I can't stream 10Mb/s files in my media server anymore, unfortunately I'm behind a Double NAT, so I kinda need AirVPN so I can easily port forward stuff (which works great, but speeds suck atm)

    No, they are strictly forbidden, as you might already know from the ToS. Instead of opening an account to complain on community forums, which is useless if we miss the message, please contact abuse@airvpn.org and provide evidence and any information relevant to enable the department to end the abuse.

    Well, it's the worst ISP in China.They shape everything.I suggest you should switch to other ISP such as China Telecom , China Unicom or China Mobile.You may find some cheap plans on the RedNote.But BE CAREFUL. If you switch your ISP to I mentioned above, you could try these servers. China Telecom: NL , DE , US SJC , US LAX China Unicom: nearly all european servers (except IE , NO , SE) (I recommend NL , DE) , US servers in the west coast. China Mobile: JP , SG servers I recommend using OpenVPN (IP Entry 3 & UDP & Port 443),since WireGuard is too easy to be identified (run a Wireshark and you know what I mean). If you have IPv6 connection,you should use them first (unless it's too slow for you).The GFW is less aggressive on IPv6 compared to IPv4

    Hello! Eddie should allow the execution of binaries when they are not owned by root, only if they pass the checksum verification. If they don't, only files owned by root will be run with root privileges. The files packaged with Eddie should pass the checksum verification. Why it does not happen is a matter of an ongoing investigation by the developers. With that said, the system refusal to change ownership even to the superuser is probably caused by a terminal that's not allowed to have full disk access, according to System Integrity Protection. You should grant Terminal program full disk access in the following way: Make sure that Terminal is not running. Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy from the Apple menu.. Click the padlock icon at one corner of the window and enter your administrator password to make changes. Go to the Privacy tab. Click the [+] button at the bottom of the list on the right. Navigate to Terminal program location in the Applications folder ([...]/Applications/Utilities/Terminal). Add Terminal to the list and make sure that its checkbox is ticked. Then, open the terminal and try again to change ownership of the relevant files sudo chown root <full path and name of the file> You will need to change ownership of both wg and wireguard-go files. Kind regards

    Correlation != causation, as always. You're feeling the fallout of a small number of users scripting the hell out of VPN connections, launching all manner of automated attacks against all kinds of websites and services. As the saying goes, one bad apple spoils the barrel. People are built this way: There's heightened temptation to do "unsavory" things when there is less risk of being discovered doing so. In the realm of the internet, all manner of proxied connections like VPNs are bound to be abused at some point. The website operators don't want their servers to be attacked, obviously, so countermeasures are deployed; and you can bet these countermeasures will take the path of least resistance for the operators: Just subscribe to a service which maintains reputation lists and route traffic through them to filter the bad kind, and you get to make attacks less likely and less impactful for you (hello, Sucuri). It's a cognitive bias to falsely attribute this to "privacy is bad". It correlates, but is extremely likely not the cause – since there is no cause to block normal users using a website normally while connected to such a VPN. Everything else is good old conspiracy talk without even a sliver of proof. The human mind is annoyingly good in comparing and correlating things since it's continuously searching for explanations. It's the principle reason science exists – and pseudoscience, for that matter. You'd think the internet made us intelligent due to the sheer amount of info it holds, but, no, it's actually a good example of "to have too much of a good thing". Beware of too easy explanations, for everything you try to understand.

Eddie launches ok, but when trying to connect, there is a continuous connect/disconnect loop. . 2025.01.20 17:19:24 - Eddie version: 2.24.6 / macos_arm64, System: MacOS, Name: macOS 15.2, Version: 15.2, Framework: v4.0.30319 . 2025.01.20 17:19:25 - Raise system privileges . 2025.01.20 17:19:33 - Collect network information . 2025.01.20 17:19:34 - Reading options from /Users/user/.config/eddie/default.profile . 2025.01.20 17:19:35 - OpenVPN - Version: 2.6.12 - OpenSSL 3.3.2 3 Sep 2024, LZO 2.10 (/Applications/Eddie.app/Contents/MacOS/openvpn) . 2025.01.20 17:19:35 - SSH - Version: OpenSSH_9.8p1, LibreSSL 3.3.6 (/usr/bin/ssh) . 2025.01.20 17:19:35 - SSL - Version: 5.57 (/Applications/Eddie.app/Contents/MacOS/stunnel) I 2025.01.20 17:19:35 - Ready . 2025.01.20 17:19:36 - Collect information about AirVPN completed I 2025.01.20 17:19:40 - Session starting. . 2025.01.20 17:19:40 - Activation of Network Lock - macOS - PF I 2025.01.20 17:19:41 - Checking authorization ... ! 2025.01.20 17:19:41 - Connecting to Mirach (Netherlands, Alblasserdam) . 2025.01.20 17:19:42 - Routes, add 213.152.162.71/32 for interface "en0".

Manually chown'ing the wireguard/wg/openvpn executables to 'root' fixes the problem for me. Curious why more Mac users aren't experiencing this issue.

    Hello! All problems were resolved. For the readers: YuNoGuy problem was caused by the Windows Firewall blocking the incoming traffic of other programs his/her main listening program relied on. Check the message here for interesting and useful details: https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/56970-port-forwarding-connection-timeout-error-110/?do=findComment&comment=227771 JebediahWolfe (original poster) problem was caused by the fact that the remotely forwarded port was disabled by the user in the control panel. All ports are enabled by default when you reserve them to your account and a new option allows you to disable them without de-allocating them. It is an option which can be useful under specific circumstances and required by some users. Always pay attention when you change settings. Voja Ten. problem "disappeared by itself" from one day to another so we can't say anything about it. Kind regards

    New user: How-to do Wireguard?

    Hello. I have the same issue. I want to try WireGuard as alternative to OpenVPN, but I even don't have a wireguard type in protocols tab. As Staff mentioned, it should be installed with Eddie, but... Right now the latest stable version of Eddie for windows is 2.21.8 and I didn't see any options during install. I'm using Eddie on x64 2008 R2 server. Should I switch to experimental? Thanks in advance.
