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

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.

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.

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

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

If the above failed, try installing systemd-resolved using sudo dnf install systemd-resolved, then try raising the interface using the systemctl method again

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

Yes, thank you for pointing out. Edited the original message to specify the change. Kind regards

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

The withdrawal is hinted at here. The contractual agreements have been fulfilled now that it's the end of August.But a replacement is not mentioned anywhere yet. Maybe stay tuned to the Announcements forum or its feed.

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!

Hello! You must always check your facts, before posting publicly on important matters. As far as we can see, according to web searches and AI answers: And of course they are forbidden by the ToS that every AirVPN user accepts. Kind regards

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. Do not forget to include the targeted IP address or addresses. Kind regards

Hello! We're very glad to inform you that a new 10 Gbit/s full duplex server located in Toronto (Ontario, Canada), is available: Kornephoros.

Working Well Now. Tried maximizing both upload and download in parallel, and it worked like a charm! Tzulo servers are excellent in my opinion. New York-based Tzulo servers also perform really well.

Been asking for a new server in Toronto! thank you this should really help with bandwidth issues Canadian servers were having with the new amount of users, airvpn is the best <3

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.
