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

Hello! This is an interesting smearing message that occasionally comes out, trying to exploit the forum we keep open for the community, for some hidden purpose or, we guess, just for hate. You can easily verify that every defect mentioned by the OP is either false or distorted. A community moderator provided some corrections that disprove the OP's claim, here we would like to add just three remarks on subjects we care about: interoperability with other VPN services, infrastructure stability and how good our remote port forwarding system is. We also want to quickly make you aware that the OP never opened a ticket for professional support, so he/she was probably not interested in a solution of his/her problems, but maybe only in building a case based on false or fabricated premises. 1. Eddie Android edition, AirVPN Suite and Eddie Desktop edition allow connections to any VPN supporting either OpenVPN or WireGuard through the most standardized method that can exist, the supported profile for each VPN application (much better than any API, especially when it does not exist on most VPN services). 2. Over the past 16 years AirVPN infrastructure constantly evolved toward more stability and speed, it's all in the records. In AirVPN we have had and we have users connected CONTINUOUSLY for SEVERAL MONTHS. Enough for connection stability? 😉 We could have even longer periods, if it wasn't for the necessity to reboot a server periodically for kernel upgrades. 3. Implementing remote inbound port forwarding over a VPN by having the VPN server use UPnP/NAT-PMP/PCP to dynamically open ports on behalf of clients is generally considered a poor architectural choice because: UPnP was designed for trusted, local networks No authentication in classic UPnP IGD exists Race conditions in a large infrastructure like AirVPN's one becomes an architectural problem UPnP would make "hot change" and other interesting features appreciated by AirVPN customers impossible Privilege escalation. UPnP used outside a local network facilitates various exploits including privilege escalation. The VPN server already controls firewall rules, NAT, routing and connection tracking. Using UPnP as an intermediary adds another protocol layer rather than configuring those systems directly. This depends on your design philosophy, but at the moment management does not see favorably functionality duplication. At the end of the day, such a poor choice would pose a bunch of problems for essentially nothing, as selecting a random port with the additional features is a matter of seconds. Kind regards

For now, we ask you to ignore that message. It is caused by the fact that the current macOS UI is written in Xamarin, which does not support arm64 compilation. One of our goals is to release a new modern UI, natively compiled for arm64, before this restriction becomes a problem.

I bumped into this because of Mac warning for end of support for Rosetta stuff. For anyone that also find this thread, I found the AirVPN Eddie Github code base mention they are working on a "UI 3.x" effort already underway (unreleased on public GitHub): a full native rewrite in C++, Objective-C/Cocoa on macOS see here: https://github.com/AirVPN/Eddie/blob/master/src/readme.coding.md#projects-ui-3x-under-development-not-released-yet-on-public-github So hopefully that development is going well and we will have a native silicon GUI in for Eddie sometime soon.

Any idea when a full M-Series Arm client will be released for Mac?

Thanks for your answer. Ok, I'll do that in a couple of days. I've read somewhere that a similar situation turned OK by itself after 2/3 days. Let's wait a while and see... 🤞

Please open your own thread and give as much info on your setup as you can: OS, software, logs, what you tried, etc.

Pretty cool, keep at it

Hello! We're very glad to announce the Eddie Android edition 4.1.0 is available 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: OpenVPN, WireGuard, and AmneziaWG 2.0 powered up protocol. Source code available on GitLab: https://gitlab.com/AirVPN/EddieAndroid Eddie Android edition is Android TV friendly and also offers GPS spoofing, traffic splitting on an application basis, 10 languages, extended compatibility from Android 5.1.1 to Android 16, and much more. What's new Eddie Android edition 4.1.0 introduces a new custom AirVPN library that combines wg-go and amneziawg-go into a single runtime. This architectural change addresses a fundamental constraint of the Go runtime. Go was designed with the assumption that only one runtime instance exists per process and does not support multiple independent runtimes within the same process. The previous 4.0 version had been linked against two separate Go-based libraries since support for Amnezia WireGuard was introduced. Despite the precautions implemented, on a small subset of devices, this configuration still resulted in rare crashes. Analysis showed that such crashes originated from Go runtime components, most notably the garbage collector. By consolidating both libraries into a single Go runtime, Eddie Android Edition 4.1.0 gets rid of these crashes across all supported devices. Furthermore, Eddie Android edition 4.1.0 adheres more strictly to AmneziaWG protocol version 2 real implementations. Specifically: The <c> tag for I parameters has been removed. Although documented for about a year, it was never implemented in the AmneziaWG protocol and any implementation intent was dropped during February 2026. Because, regrettably, it remained in the Amnezia documentation, Eddie 4.0.x still generated this parameter in certain profiles, resulting in the well-known interoperability issues with other clients. Eddie 4.1.0 eliminates this inconsistency. See: https://github.com/amnezia-vpn/amneziawg-go/issues/120 Added support for the <rc> and <rd> tags for I parameters. Jc, Jmin, Jmax parameters must now be ≥ 1. Previous Eddie / Amnezia releases accepted values ≥ 0, making it possible to explicitly configure zero junk packets, thereby allowing users to explicitly configure a logically degenerate state in which the junk-packet mechanism remained enabled while simultaneously instructing it to emit precisely zero junk packets. This is no longer supported; to disable junk packet generation please omit the J parameters. WireGuard compatibility now requires the canonical header mapping (Hₙ = n), as packet header identifiers are interpreted in a strict semantic order. Earlier AmneziaWG implementations, including that used by Eddie 4.0.x, internally canonicalized header mappings, allowing any non-repeating permutation of {1, 2, 3, 4} to preserve WireGuard compatibility. Eddie now enforces the canonical mapping whenever interoperability with standard WireGuard peers is required, including connections to AirVPN servers using the default Amnezia configuration. Eddie Android Edition 4.1.0 also includes updated libraries and dependencies. Please refer to the changelog available here for additional details.

I often encounter the same problem, my not so good solution is just to generate another config with different servers and switching between the two when one does not work

This is curious, maybe this is what I've been experiencing? I've jumped around between Revati, Sarin, Xamidimura, and Maia. I went ahead and bought a new router this week, over $300, got tired of the old router's limitations/issues and wanted to get something future proof. Unfortunately even on this one, I dropped downstream connection again yesterday evening, and even just now a few minutes ago. I also want to add that I am using two STP Cat6a cables, one between my modem/router and one between my router/desktop. They are pretty new too. Despite the above though I still seem to only experience issues with AirVPN only. I don't have issues with other VPN services.

Hello!

Please move here. Eddie Android edition 4.1.0 development focuses exclusively on improving stability by introducing a new custom AirVPN library that combines wg-go and amneziawg-go into a single runtime. This architectural change addresses a fundamental constraint of the Go runtime. Go was designed with the assumption that only one runtime instance exists per process and does not support multiple independent runtimes within the same process. Consequently, the runtime assumes exclusive ownership of global resources such as the heap, scheduler, stack management, and other core runtime components. The current production version had been linked against two separate Go-based libraries since support for Amnezia WireGuard was introduced. Despite the precautions implemented, on a small subset of devices, this configuration still resulted in crashes during approximately 1% to 5% of application launches. Analysis showed that all such crashes originated from Go runtime components, most notably the garbage collector. By consolidating both libraries into a single Go runtime, Eddie Android Edition 4.1.0 is expected to eliminate these crashes across all supported devices.

Android is straightforward, just exclude the Steam app in the Eddie app. In Eddie for PC traffic splitting is only possible by IP and ranges. On Linux, though, you can use the AirVPN suite in concert with Cuckoo, Air's traffic spitting manager, but it's CLI only for now.

Hello! Yes, you used it on 2026-07-16 for your order 2be14cc8015b7b8149e71078d07f80c4dd142b1f. You can see it on your "Order" dashboard included on your AirVPN account "Client Area". Now, the order is still "On hold" by Stripe for some problem related to the credit card (you might like to check), so you have not really used the credit so far, as it is inside the order for the activation of a plan whose partial payment has not been approved. Please open a ticket, we'll have the Sales department manage this issue. Kind regards

They will be lifted automatically after a certain small amount of approved posts, just keep posting.

I will also be testing with AirVPN and WG

Hello! Thank you very much for your tests and report. We can reproduce similar problems and we are investigating. In the meantime, please try this: from Android application settings, delete Eddie data (both data and cache) uninstall Eddie re-install Eddie and report back The above procedure can mitigate one of the problems we detected thanks to your report, but we have found other problems (when using Eddie in Amnezia mode) and a thorough investigation is going on. We will keep you posted. Kind regards

Hello! We're very glad to inform you that Eddie Android edition 4.1.0 beta 2 is now available. Please refer to the original message for important updates and details. Kind regards

Hello! Yes, please do it. Currently the software is in public beta testing and is already quite solid. No, we can re-assure you that it doesn't. All the vulnerabilities (including, but not limited to, the one you mention on macOS) have been fixed, see the changelog: https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/80641-eddie-desktop-edition-226-beta-released/ A stable version is expected very soon. Kind regards

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).

@robertoohoho Hello! You have set either a Master Password or system key wallet password protection to encrypt Eddie's configuration file. If you can't remember the password, you have no choice but to delete Eddie's configuration file while Eddie is not running. At the next run Eddie will create a new configuration file with default settings and no password-led encryption. To delete Eddie's configuration file on macOS, from a terminal opened by the same account that installed Eddie: rm ~/.config/eddie/* Kind regards

Related:Also all the links inside, though the analysis I made is now 5 years old

Hello! Black list enabled: all traffic inside the VPN tunnel except the traffic of the black listed applications which goes outside the tunnel. White list enabled: all traffic outside the VPN tunnel except the traffic of the white listed applications which goes inside the tunnel. When you define a whitelist with a single app for per-app traffic splitting purposes, only that app traffic will be tunneled. The system process traffic will not be tunneled, and any other non-white listed app traffic will not be tunneled. So the behavior you observe seems just fine, but please feel free to elaborate if we misunderstood. Kind regards

@moejoe Hello! Configuring DNS blocks through the app is currently not possible, we're sorry, but you can have different profiles by using the option to link specific DNS block settings to each key ("device"). Then you can easily switch between devices to switch DNS blocks, although a re-connection is required for each switch. Kind regards

Hi guys. I'm going to ask since I haven't heard anything about it in the changelog, do you plan to update Eddie to fully support macOS Silicon? I keep getting the warning in the image attached, I believe Apple will behave as usual and kinda kill whatever is not running on Silicon by the next OS release at the end of this year.

hello. can you give some screenshots for this two moments? Hello! 1. Go to "Settings" > "Advanced" > "Custom AmneziaWG directives", turn on "Enable CPS" switch, disable "Random Presets" and select a web site from the list appearing after you tap on "Preset". Make sure you tap "OK" at the end to confirm (if you just tap "Back" button, the settings will not be stored). 2. Go back to the main view, select "AIRVPN SERVER", long tap the country or the specific server you want to generate and export a configuration file for, and select "Export AmneziaWG profile" or "Open AmneziaWG profie with..." according to your needs. Kind regards

Same question. There's about a year until macOS 28, Rosetta 2 won't be present in that version.

@Tech Jedi Alex Hello! Just to point out that age verification should have nothing to do with identity check. Various countries, the European Commission and some Italian bodies are studying methods of age verification that don't force the citizen to show his/her ID card at any step, and surely not to private entities they don't even know. If the UK wants to implement age verification through identity verification we don't know, but it would be a giant mistake that would allow potentially shady entities to steal and build highly reliable ID databases with huge monetary value on the black market. The Discord Hack catastrophe is a useful reminder https://www.404media.co/the-discord-hack-is-every-users-worst-nightmare/ Then of course you can debate ad nauseam about whether it is right or wrong that a person younger than 21, 18 or 16 should be forbidden to connect to a virtual private network, Tor, proxy, etc. For the readers, our position is close to EFF position, see here: https://www.eff.org/issues/age-verification We were with EDRi and EFF as usual, how can you not know?! Check our mission and endorsement page. The same must be said of some other VPNs to be honest. Kind regards

Hello, I have a question regarding AirVPN’s transparency around legal requests. ProtonVPN publishes a transparency report where it is possible to see that they have received a number of legal orders/requests over the years, sometimes over a hundred in a single year. Since AirVPN is also a well-known and fairly widely used VPN service, I was wondering why there do not seem to be similar figures or an equivalent transparency report available for AirVPN. Is it because AirVPN has genuinely received no legal requests that could be disclosed or acted upon? Or is it simply that such requests are not published in the form of a transparency report? This is not meant as criticism, but as a request for clarification about how AirVPN communicates or does not communicate this kind of information

Slight necro, but had the same issue & the DNS suggestion in here fixed it, thanks Alex!

Got this message today on Tahoe. I know it could be a while before they shut down Rosetta but this message may alarm some Mac users.

This happened to me, but that was eons ago and on Windows host. Eddie typically backs up the current system DNS configuration on startup and replaces it with AirVPN’s DNS servers for the duration of the VPN session. Under normal conditions, the original DNS settings are restored when the session ends. However, if the client or system shuts down unexpectedly, this restoration step may not complete. As a result, the system can be left using AirVPN DNS servers. On subsequent launches, Eddie may then back up this already-modified state instead of the original configuration, effectively losing the previous (likely DHCP-assigned) DNS settings. To resolve the issue, reset your DNS configuration [while Eddie is not running, Staff]. Go to your network settings and set IPv4 DNS to Automatic (DHCP). This will restore your system’s default DNS behavior. Regards Viktor23596

Hello! We're very glad to inform you that Eddie Android edition 4.0.1 is now available. This is a patch release to fix a bug affecting AmneziaWG and WireGuard profile generation by Eddie. When generating a profile for WireGuard or AmneziaWG, Eddie 4.0.0 omits the MTU option and the IPv6 address space (even when it's necessary) in AllowedIPs option arguments. We strongly recommend that you upgrade immediately. Eddie Android edition 4.0.1 is available on our web site and the Google Play Store. Any other feature is described by the 4.0.0 version announcement, available here: https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/79743-eddie-android-edition-400-available/ Kind regards & datalove AirVPN Staff

If you have any friends inside the US with a residential IP willing to help out, you can perform a reverse VPN connection as follows: 1. On your AirVPN account, forward any UDP Port from the Client Area>Ports(Let's just call it x for the sake of this guide). 2.On your machine, set up a wireguard server with the following parameters: [Interface] PrivateKey=(Insert your own wg privatekey here) ListenPort=x Address=192.168.181.2/24 [Peers] PublicKey=(Insert your friend's publicKey here) AllowedIPs=192.168.181.1 PresharedKey=(Insert presharedkey here) 3.Give your friend a wireguard conf like this: [Interface] PrivateKey=(Insert your friend's wg privatekey here) Address=192.168.181.1/24 [Peers] PublicKey=(Insert your own publicKey here) Endpoint= (Insert Your AirVPN Exit IP here):x AllowedIPs=192.168.181.2 PresharedKey=(Insert presharedkey here) PersistentKeepalive=10 4. Get your friend to install shadowsocks server on their machine. Their config file should look something like this: { "server": "192.168.181.1", "server_port": 8388, "password": "(Insert your own password here)", "method": "chacha20-ietf-poly1305" } 5.Get them to start ssserver with the config.json I specified 6. Install shadowsocks on your own machine, and configure it as follows: { "server": "192.168.181.1", "server_port": 8388, "password": "(Insert same password you gave your friend here)", "method" : "chacha20-ietf-poly1305", "local_address": "127.0.0.1", "local_port": 9500 } Run sslocal on your side 7. If you haven't already, install mozilla firefox or one of its many forks on your machine. 8.In your Firefox, go to Settings>General>Proxy Settings>Configure proxy, and set up as follows: 9. Go to ipleak.net on your firefox to verify that you are using your friend's residential IP. 10. You may now connect to handshake AI in Firefox

Please add more selectable genders in account setting, for example, I need to choose "non-binary" or at least a gender alternative than male/female, but there is no such a selection. The only one I see is "not telling" (or blank).

This logic isn't sound. 'Not telling' is not the same as identifying as non-binary. As unimportant as this might be to you and I, for some folks including the OP, this is an important differentiation and your statement risks trivialising what is an important data point for some.

I’ve read several times that AirVPN refused to undergo an audit back in 2022. I’d like to know if that’s still the case today. Honestly, AirVPN feels as close to perfect as a VPN can get: the speeds are excellent, port forwarding is a huge advantage, and I have no complaints overall. The only thing missing, in my view, is solid proof that no logs are being kept. I understand that an audit only confirms the "no-logs" policy at a given point in time, but it’s still the most concrete proof we can realistically get. The other possible "proof" would be a court case where AirVPN is compelled to hand over logs and fails to do so, which I’d actually consider even stronger evidence than an audit. But of course, that could take a long time to happen.

@Bohdan Kushnirchuk Hello! How to solve: To grant Terminal full disk access (except some specific critical directories) on macOS, follow these steps: Open System Settings (or System Preferences): On macOS Ventura and later, click the Apple menu at the top-left of your screen, then choose System Settings. On macOS Monterey or earlier, choose System Preferences. Go to Privacy & Security: In System Settings (Ventura and later), select Privacy & Security in the left-hand menu. In System Preferences (Monterey and earlier), click Security & Privacy, then go to the Privacy tab. Select Full Disk Access: In the Privacy & Security or Security & Privacy tab, scroll down and click Full Disk Access in the left menu. Unlock Settings: At the bottom-left of the window, you might need to click the lock icon and enter your admin password to make changes. Add Terminal: Once the lock is open, click the + button beneath the list of apps with Full Disk Access. In the file chooser window that pops up, go to Applications > Utilities, and select Terminal. Click Open to add it to the list. Restart Terminal: Close the Terminal app if it’s open, then reopen it to apply the changes. 2. Open the terminal and change ownership of the relevant files: sudo chown root /Applications/Eddie.app/Contents/MacOS/* Kind regards

Hello! Multi-hopping is a client side feature. And yes, in 2012 a special "OpenVPN over Tor" mode was implemented in the Eddie AirVPN software for Desktop systems. The main "alien entity" used to multi-hop in a way that really enhances the anonymity layer strength is the Tor network as usual, as it provides a very balanced solution between usability, reliability and effectiveness. In the near future we could implement a double-hop support inside the same AirVPN network on the AirVPN Suite for Linux. It's not the most effective method to enhance the anonymity layer (because both hops belong to AirVPN) but it could be appreciated as a small additional comfort according to the feedback we have. DAITA is currently overkill because in real life AIs fail miserably. The high success rates comes out only when you have a limited sample of very few services, such as 10 pre-agreed web sites, and the target browses only those 10 with no other protocol complications, quite an unrealistic assumption. However, AI abilities can become relevant in the future to harm privacy and understand, with no needs to break encryption, which web sites a user visits, thus we don't rule out that we will implement specific techniques (especially on WireGuard) in due time. Kind regards

I have been using AirVPN for years for online gaming. But I choose my server closest to the game megaservers

In what way would this be equivalent to using the same password in multiple places? You are not sharing your private key with the wireguard server like you would be with a password, you only share a public key. It's literally a feature of Wireguard to have multiple peers on the same tunnel. For this to happen you would be using the same wireguard tunnel (therefore the same key) to connect to both peers (in my case AirVPN and my home network). But I cannot use this feature because I do not trust the safety/security of my AirVPN-generated key pair. So yeah, currently I am doing what you are advising (two different tunnels therefore two different keys) but the experience is much worse than it could be, since you cannot have both tunnels active at the same time on Android. I need to choose whether I want to be able to access my home network or have my traffic tunneled through VPN.

In my case, that would not be the sole purpose of the key. The key would also be used to authenticate myself against my own wireguard server, which is the reason I want to remain in control of this key. If I were to do this setup currently, I would have to put complete trust in AirVPN to keep this key safe. Anyone with the key could authenticate against my own wireguard server, which is where the risk comes from. Keeping my private key stored locally and only providing the public key would definitely be preferred.

I also would like to see this option. For an example use case -- I have a wireguard tunnel set up between my home network and offsite devices. I already have generated keys, and can provide the public key (which should be all that is needed on AirVPN side). If I had this option, I could use the same wireguard key on my offsite devices with 2 peers (home network and AirVPN, only allowing local traffic to home network). Currently, the only option would be to use the private+public key pair combo generated by AirVPN, and allow that on my tunnel at home which would not be acceptable security wise. In that case then AirVPN or anyone who obtained the key would be able to VPN into my local network. It would be better to never have the private key stored anywhere else.

Seconded. I'm using the pro++ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists/main/domains/pro.plus.txt as it seems a better compromise for my usage.

Anyone know when there will be an Apple Silicon universal binary version that will run natively on M1 Mac's without using Rosetta2?

Hello! I thought it was time to try and collect some of the wisdom floating around and see if we can't create a single thread for solving some of the most common and annoying repeat-issues. So how about it ! I define "common problems" as: if I'm getting a deja-vu every third time I post . Staff will have broken the Matrix by this point. Each problem will have its own headline and then with any number of solution-oriented links appended underneath. For this reason, this grand list isn't final and is meant to be updated continually. Naturally, the higher the link number for a solution, the more obscure the solutions are probably getting. Warning: solutions aren't guaranteed.
