Hello! We're very glad to inform you that Hummingbird 2.0.0 beta 1 for macOS (Mojave or higher version required) is available. Different native versions for Intel and M1/M2 based Mac computers are available for maximum performance. UPDATE 2025-04-05: Hummingbird 2.0.0 beta 5 for macOS is available UPDATE 2025-04-16: Hummingbird 2.0.0 Release Candidate 1 for macOS is available Hummingbird is free and open source released under GPLv3: https://gitlab.com/AirVPN/AirVPN-Suite Main features Lightweight and stand alone binary client supporting both OpenVPN and WireGuard No heavy framework required, no GUI Small RAM footprint Lightning fast Based on OpenVPN 3 library fork by AirVPN and WireGuard Robust leaks prevention through Network Lock based on pf Proper handling of DNS push by VPN servers New, more flexible Network Lock What's new linked against OpenVPN3-AirVPN 3.11 library all libraries and dependencies have been updated added complete WireGuard support by means of the official WireGuard tools provided by its developers. Installation of wg and wireguard-go binaries is currently required, as WireGuard library is not available on macOS. Please check the user's manual (README.md file included in the packages) WireGuard support section for comfortable, step by step instructions. new Network Lock related options offering more flexibility. Now you can accept or deny incoming, outgoing or both ICMP-echo packets, and independently you can permit or forbid IPv6 NDP, which is based on ICMPv6. The new options supported by Hummingbird (please check the readme file for additional details) are: --allow-ping --allow-ipv6ndp Apple Mx based systems version is now C++20 compliant (required by Sequoia) Important note for high speed line users Because of some architectural specifications and implementation in macOS Hummingbird may warn the user about shortage of buffer space, specifically when connected with the UDP. This condition is signaled by Hummingbird with the below messages in the log: UDP send exception: send: No buffer space available ERROR: NETWORK_SEND_ERROR The error is caused by the maximum network sockets size set in macOS, a value usually small and unsuited for modern high speed networks. The solution consists in increasing the maximum allowed size for socket buffers and, in case the problem persists, the number of mbuf clusters. The procedure is simple, please find out all the details in the manual. Open the README.md file with any viewer and consult the "Note on macOS and UDP" section.

Hello! We're very glad to inform you that Hummingbird 2.0.0 Release Candidate 1 is now available for macOS, both for Intel and M1/M2/M3 based systems. The links to the latest RC 1 and the main changes have been updated in the first message of this thread. This version differs from beta 5 for some updates on the OpenVPN3-AirVPN library. Besides, the M1/M2/M3 version is now C++20 compliant. 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).
