1) If you're getting disconnected there's probably a problem. Fix the root problem first. 2) enabling the network lock is as simple as clicking the "activate network lock" button on the overview tab. I see no reason for there to be a guide for something as simple as that.

I wish, but I'm sure Staff stance is that there are plenty of servers to choose from. Good news is that it looks like a couple new Atlanta servers (different datacenter) are forthcoming.

you may need to clarify your statement. Air doesn't block or ban anything. What happens is the trackers block the VPN servers. Some Air servers have access, some don't. So, it's the trackers blocking selectively.

you certainly can. it's just that you can't forward to the router itself it seems.

I believe everything runs on RAM, no hard drives to save data. That's why real-time data can be shown on the web site but when your session is over all data is gone due to the nature of RAM.

openvpn 2.4. https://www.snbforums.com/threads/release-asuswrt-merlin-380-65-is-now-available.37295/ do you have a MIPS router?

I run the VPN client on my pfsense gateway/router. It's true that my PC can't even ping the server I'm connected to. But, the speed test still runs for me.

Perhaps with a little effort,you can without google... .For me startpage search engine give the same result.Etc etc. casper startpage works again? some time ago it seemed their information was becoming outdated.

The 4Mbit/s is something Air can guarantee by making sure there's enough server resources available. But, they can't control the internet.

Not really fast - pretty normal. 210ms is fast. It comes and goes for me. But I agree, not going via the US is fantastic. Maybe you do mean 210ms total. Did you notice the first hop is 130ms? So, the difference is about 190ms to Amsterdam.

if on the PC use the Eddie (AirVPN) software and try different ports and protocols.

Some ports and protocols are faster because the ISP and transit/peers allow it to be. But, your problem is the router running VPN. That's a very weak CPU for trying to run openvpn. That speeds you're getting are the most you'll get so long as that router is your openvpn client.

What ports and protocols have you tried? If I understand correctly you're running the openvpn client on a router. What router is it?

test speed another way. the test built into the web site here isn't...good.

Something changed with your routing then. Just equate it to road construction forcing you to take a detour. The destination hasn't (can't) change, but the detour makes the trip take longer.

Those and the Atlanta ones are the same company - Quadranet. Which might explain why both sites are having problems. But, Quadranet's network status says there are no problems. http://status.quadranet.com/

install merlin asus firmware and use the policy routing in openvpn client. route the IP door entry to the WAN not VPN. it's really easy.

They probably aren't blocking VPNs specifically, but I bet they use some database (like projecthoneypot) to block known offending IP addresses. Have you tried from different servers?

Two main issues with DNS I had 1) Air DNS can be slow to respond and doesn't always point me to the nearest option available. 2) With some devices not using the VPN I had to create a solution for them. So, I switched off the resolver and forwarder (of pfsense), push DNS to my devices via DHCP, and control access to the DNS I want via firewall rules. The only problems I've run into with this method is that my iftop (monitoring program I use through SSH) doesn't list hostnames but only IP address and to get Plex web app to work I had to enable PureNAT in system>advanced>Firewall & NAT

network lock is a function in the Eddie software.

Dallas servers getting captcha from google searches now. very annoying.

you don't have a NAT rule for your LAN to go out via the AirVPN interface.

That's a "non-problem". Just forward remotely a random port from your account port panel and configure your Bitcoin client to listen to that port. Important note: do not remap the remotely forwarded port to a different local port (in this case it would not work properly due to how Bitcoin works). Kind regards I am very much a layman at this stuff... I went to the client section and 'forwarded a port' to my local port that is required for a bitcoin node... when I reconnect AirVPN, it cuts off my node from receiving incoming connections. Can you possibly (if you have a second) explain specifically what I need to do? thanks well, you did the opposite of what Staff said to do. Reread what Staff wrote and try again?

So, from what I can see in that last sentence, since these instructions are for OpenVPN, Hardware Crypto should always be set to None. Is that correct? Second, just below that in the instructions, it says: Compression = [Disabled - No Compression ▼ ] Is there a reason for that? Why not compress? And, finally, is it possible to try different encryption methods or levels? For instance, AES-128-CBC instead of 256? Or, GCM vs CBC? Or is AES-256-CBC all AirVPN supports? EDIT: Also, in section 7-A: System / General Setup, it says we need to use AirVPN's DNS Server (10.4.0.1). Is there some reason for that? Is it a security/privacy thing or is it something to do with the VPN tunnel? Can other DNS Servers be included there? when you start creating NAT rules and firewall rules for the LAN to force everything out the VPN tunnel you'll have to disable those rules or they will disrupt your wife's usage. That is until you've got it all ready and the VPN tunnel is up. I have an AMD processor that has AES-NI. If the main pfsense settings (advanced>miscellaneous>cryptographic hardware) are set to use AES-NI then openssl AES is greatly accelerated. There's no need to select BSD cryptodev in the openvpn client. In fact, I read some places that say selecting that option in the openvpn client actually makes things slower. So, it looks like the info you've found is "correct". https://airvpn.org/topic/18322-how-to-quicly-test-theoretical-openvpn-throughput/?hl=%2Bopenvpn+%2Btheoretical+%2Bspeed use the test method from that thread to see what your theoretical max openvpn speed is. AirVPN doesn't support compression. pfsense right now doesn't have openvpn 2.4. So, currently only AES-256-CBC is supported in conjunction with Air. I assume that when pfsense updates with openvpn 2.4 then we will be able to use AES-256-GCM with Air servers that have openvpn 2.4. (for me GCM is much faster) Using Air DNS ensures that all DNS requests go through the tunnel and it's the most private. But, it's not required for the VPN to work.
