There is no real issue there. Unless you really don't trust your network, to the level you don't want them to know you tried to access xx.airvpn.org, you can use OpenNIC/Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) DNS servers pre-VPN. This does not provide any good layer of extra security or anonymity, since if your provider is hostile, it can still detect OpenVPN traffic unless you use SSL/SSH tunnels. Pre-VPN DNS is really not an important factor here, since it depends on what your ISP is -known- to censor afterwards. Still, as an outside VPN resolver for DNS I would recommend OpenNIC DNScrypt resolvers, but since not many devices can support that out of the box, the new alternative from Cloudflare is a good choice as well (1.1.1.1). Probably still better than your ISP resolver, but still the same in terms of logging unless you use DNS over TLS. whoa, zhang is still here! I thought you'd left us.

Staff, can you tell us more about the new DNS server engine you speak of in the OP? Besides necessary changes for IPv6 is there anything else new?

I tried to do this and actually completely set up a VM using hyper-v on win 10 - then I set up a homegroup between the VM and the PC - this is where the issue arose, I couldn't get the homegroup to consistently work. Is there a simple way to be able to automatically transfer downloaded files between the VM and the PC running it? I also need programs on the PC side to tell the download programs (qbittorrent and SABNZBD) what to download. I use virtualbox with a Mint install as the guest virtual machine, windows 10 host. With vitualbox you can allow the guest VM to access folders on the host directly. It's called shared folders IIRC.

It's not something that's easy to do, certainly not something that can be done through Eddie. The easiest way to do it is to run the two apps you want (and Eddie) in a separate virtual machine, setup so that it's got its own IP address on your local network.

Thanks for the updates!

It looks like for wan and lan interfaces we'd have to enable IPv6, and do so for the wan gateway too. But, I haven't wrapped my head around how IPv6 works. I mean, as I understand it there's no NAT? That makes me feel naked.

good question. I don't want to use IPv6 but it would be good to know how to do it.

prng is pseudo random number generator. Apparently there were/are some hardware random number generators that were/are flawed. This is a way to be a little more secure.

I was connecting to the Dallas servers this morning just fine.

others are reporting that the LA servers are refusing connections

Thanks. Could you please tell me how to make a config for my android phone and how to connect using the generated files ? Why? Above you implied you used your android mobile already - "i cant establish an SSL connection neither from my PC (Eddie) nor my mobile ( Android)" Therefore, you should already know how to do this.

Why aren't you using the latest stable version?

Regular connections are just as safe. SSL or SSH are needed to bypass blocks or throttles. It would be interesting for you to try a tls-crypt config on your mobile if you can. Another person has reported that that bypassed a block.

For over a month Draco has been down with line problems. Staff, do you have an estimate as to when it'll be up again?

Same here, using Firefox. And, when I do visit ipleak.net firefox seems to "crash" and it won't resolve any more domains but otherwise works. But, nslookup via command line still works. So, I know it's just firefox. Other DNS leak test sites still work.

If it was working before but not now 1) check to make sure the server you're trying to connect to is operational 2) perhaps something changed in your local network or your ISP and UDP 53 (the port and protocol you're trying to use according to the log) is now blocked. Try TCP 443 just to see if that's the problem.

Change the log verbosity to 4 to get more information which could help you determine why it's not working.

nslookup heze.airservers.org and nslookup us.all.vpn.airdns.org work for me

It's good to see stuff like this in the forums. Compared to two years ago I think Air forums have lost a lot of knowledgeable users so this is refreshing. I don't think I'll have an opportunity to use this as I use pfense but I hope somebody finds it useful.

Online Sessions: 14770 - BW: 41983 Mbit/s Since the DNS problem a few days ago sessions and bandwidth has been down in my perception. I wish Air kept a graph for the whole network like they do for each server.

Please be more specific. Are you using the router as the OpenVPN client? If so, what speed to that same server do you get if you use the AirVPN software (Eddie) on a PC? If not using the router as OpenVPN client then it's practically irrelevant and the problem lies elsewhere. If you get higher speeds with Eddie on a PC than with the router as OpenVPN client, then you know the problem is the relatively slow CPU on the router.

no that that's a router, was this company a kickstarter or something like that at one point or another? yes, if I recall correctly.

Is your server running and listening on the port that you're assigned?

I don't think there's a guide and I wouldn't expect one...you're already beyond 99% of users.

First I've heard of this. I'm curious too.
