switch the calculation method to latency and you'll see stars for the USA servers.

I was under the impression that AirVPN runs their own servers, however when using an SSH tunnel the connection is to ip 71.19.249.195 (eSecureData.com). Do you use third party servers, Virtual Private Servers, or is this a co-location? It appears that if SSH tunneling is used, your only option is to be routed through ip 71.19.249.195. Is this correct? Since the configuration files list ip addresses and not url's, I guess your service is running on third party eSecureData.com servers. 

 

When my SSH data packets arrive at eSecureData.com and are decrypted, I would think that the OpenVPN encrypted data would be forwarded to an AirVPN server, however it seems that my OpenVPN data is decrypted at eSecureData.com also, along with the SSH encryption (route ---> 71.19.249.195 255.255.255.255 net_gateway in the .opnv file.). I imagine this makes sense as stripping the SSH encryption and then forwarding the OpenVPN encrypted data would defeat the purpose of the SSH encryption in the first place. So my bottom line question is how much can I trust eSecureData.com, including their logging policy?  

 

I tried to install the AirVPN GUI .deb (Eddie I believe) on LinuxMint 17:

  Kernel: 3.19.0-32-generic x86_64 (64 bit gcc: 4.8.2)

  Desktop: Cinnamon 2.8.8 (Gtk 3.10.8~8+qiana) Distro: Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa

and the install fails halfway through. I can not find any info. about the abend in my logs. I do not have Mono installed. Is that my issue?

 

All of this is beyond my pay grade, but I'm having fun.

 

Best Regards.

I'd installed the .deb package on mint 17 and now the experimental on mint 18 with no problem.  It's a VM.  but I'm no help here with trouble shooting, sorry.  I'm really a linux noob.

thank you for doing so much work yourself.  most things are easy to figure out by searching and not being dumb so it's a pleasure to see people that do so.

for the router CPU problem I would suggest you just break down and build a pfsense box with a real CPU that has AES-NI.  I built one for $127, so quite a bit cheaper than a good router.

speaking of routers, even the $300 consumer routers will only get you about 60mbit/s openvpn speed....70mbit/s max.

Ah, thanks.

 

I ran this command:

 

iptables -I FORWARD -i tun0 -p udp -d 192.168.11.xxx --dport 43xxx -j ACCEPT

iptables -I FORWARD -i tun0 -p tcp -d 192.168.11.xxx --dport 43xxx -j ACCEPT

iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -i tun0 -p tcp --dport 43xxx -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.11.xxx

iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -i tun0 -p udp --dport 43xxx -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.11.xxx

 

And disabled the one I had created through the Port Forward section of the router.

 

Still not working. Could the firewall rules from here be interfering?

 

Also, in ifconfig, I don't have a tun device listed! That may be my problem!

if no tun then perhaps openvpn is not running.

port forwarding built into dd-wrt goes from the WAN to LAN.  You need to create iptables that allow TUN to LAN.

just use the search function and you'll find threads that have the info you need.

everything using the same hard drive?

Hi again

 

Could you explain how to do this?

Do you leave the DNS Server section in General settings at all?

for each DNS server the gateway is set to none.  but neither do I use VPN DNS.

one reason for this is that it allows the pfsense box itself to resolve DNS without relying on the VPN tunnel being "up".  another reason is that I prefer the CDN servers I get using public DNS over those from VPN DNS.

I still have NAT and firewall rules that redirect all LAN DNS requests to the pfsense box (so no rogue DNS are used like google)

Hi go558a83nk

 

If you look at step 7 -> 1.) There you asign gateway Airvpn_wan to the Dns Server 10.4.0.1

wow, sure does.  call me confused.  I'm 100% sure I followed directions for using unbound that said not to assign a gateway there.  did the guide change?  anyway, I don't assign a gateway there but just use firewall rules to control traffic flow.

Hi guys

 

My new install is working quite well, but there a some issues that i can't figure out.

I use a multi vpn wan(3) setup and have just copied the configs/setups/rules for every vpn interface.

After i completed the setup i remembered that you can create a interface group that can be used in the firewall settings.

The issues now are dns related:

In the System->Settings->general->DNS Servers i use the arivpn dns servers 10.4.0.1/10.6.0.1/10.8.0.1, each using a different vpn gateway.

The issue is now thatif i do a dns leak test i see 2/3 of the server locations that i use.

Has somebody an ide for the reason?

 

Sebastian

assigning a gateway for the DNS in the general settings is not how this guide does it.

 

Did you try other VPN servers?

no, i used pfsense to connect so that means i have to change the config. 

 

BUT, i will try thanks for the suggestion.

all you have to do is change the IP address of the remote server.

dang it i wish i new more about routing so we could be in the tunnel and pass netflix traffic thru clear net to get the flix.

for a few days routing netflix IP ranges outside the tunnel worked. that was a few months ago.  doesn't work anymore.  see other threads.

looks like your login credentials are incorrect.

Sup guys,

 

So apparently to change my Display name I need one approved post, that being the first thing don't like about AirVPN. So yeah... started with the negative, sorry about that..

On with the review:

• Love how you guys are all techie and actually explain in great detail why you do what you do and how you do it... 
• Really loving the open source AirVPN client! Its fast shows awesome statistics and was easy to get working on Windows, still working on Ubuntu but using the config generator for OpenVPN settings for now.
• What I find a bit disappointing is that I cant get the 500Mbps speed that my ISP can provide or anything close to it. I tried a few servers and max I got was arround 100Mbps
• Bit disappointed that you guys don't provide SOCKS proxy's or HTTP proxy's, however I did find a post where you explain why you do that.

Apart from that I'm still struggling to get the correct OpenVPN settings to get ThinLinc running on my Ubuntu VM, when I enable OpenVPN on that server I cant connect to the server from the internet. Believe it has something to do with the routes OpenVPN makes... still working on that... I'll probably make a topic in the forums for this.

 

So yeah that my review, loving the work you guys do and hope you guys keep it up! (Y)

The servers are 1Gbit/s inbound and outbound combined.  If you got near your ISP speed you'd max out a server by yourself.  So, I hope you understand that it's next to impossible.  But, I often see people around 200mbit/s in the top users area.  Anyway, this complaint tells me you're either inexperienced with VPN providers or you're just trolling.

https://airvpn.org/topic/9270-how-to-forward-ports-in-dd-wrt-tomato-with-iptables/?hl=tomato

that's how to open ports for Asus also.

My new N66 is up and running. Now, I need to get my MacMini server and myCloud services online. I have not done any port forwarding with IPTables and OpenVPN. Any links or assistance will be appreciated. I am really confused as to how to assign ports with my IPs and the scripting language for the IPTables...???

 

Go558a83nk: Do I have a choice not to use OpenVPN? What kind of speeds am I expecting and are there any options for increasing speed performance? Thanks

There seems to be a disconnect somewhere.  You talk of needing to forward ports on the router in an AirVPN forum.  Therefore, I assume that you'll be running openvpn on the router.  This is because the only reason to forward ports on the router while using AirVPN is if the router itself is the openvpn client for your whole "house".

If you are just going to use the Eddie client then DO NOT forward ports on the router.  You'll be decreasing your security if you do.

If you are asking if you can run some other kind of VPN on the router, the answer is yes.  But, AirVPN only provides openvpn.  You would have to find another VPN provider if you want to use the other VPN options Asus has.

 

I'm using OpenVPN, natively on an Ubuntu server with two NICs, using the automatically generated file, with the addition of very basic up and down scripts (which I got here).  My broadband is average - about 10Mbit/s, but I can torrent at up to 1.2MB (9.6Mbits/s). The server is also the router for my home network, plus DNS, mail, media server, 

 

My firewall blocks and logs any traffic from my server, other than outbound DNS and UDP443. The VPN has been up for three days and no attempts have been made to connect outside the tunnel (except to Absolute Radio's streaming server - configured with a static route and permitted by the firewall.  In fact even the tunnel doesn't register as I cleared the counters after I restarted the VPN tunnel and it hasn't dropped since then.

 

I even terminate inbound VPN from my mobile devices via port forwarding, and then route the outbound requests via the tunnel. I use ddclient to update the no-IP dynamic DNS.

 

Everything just works. Even Netflix lets me watch stuff (on an LG DVD player thing) and in full HD.

 

Thank you AirVPN.

If i understand it well,you have Netflix because you use port 443? Have the idea netflix blocked every Air ip adress.

​Gr,Casper

The VPN server port used has nothing to do with netflix functionality.  He's likely being directed to something like Netherlands Netflix which has been reported by others to still work.

It looks like the Stunnel package was removed. Any chance of getting an updated version of the instructions?

it can still be installed.

I've done it and can use SSL if I so choose.

This weekend I will be swapping out my Verizon MI424WR to a ASUS RT-N66U(W) and will be port forwarding some IPs; I hope there are good topics (in this forum) for beginners like me!

You plan to run openvpn on the N66?  if so, I hope you're prepared for very slow speeds.

I'm gettin' a 404 on this link that I cannot copy nor reliably quote from staff's posting, is that bad?

I think because they've deleted that thread.

Torrentz.eu gave up. The website is not down yet, but their operators speak of it in the past tense already.

really?  that stinks.

I know some ISPs run IPv4 in this manner and usually they will forward ports for users.  You just have to ask them.  Is this not the case for your ISP?

https://airvpn.org/topic/14520-airvpn-client-makes-my-modem-restart/?hl=%2Bmodem+%2Bcrash&do=findComment&comment=29054

according to this thread you should try TCP protocol to see if that doesn't fix things.  obviously a modem shouldn't crash just because of a UDP connection but workaround...

Ah, now i see. Well, 40 % packet loss is quite a lot. Maybe that's the reason why it doesn't get announced. 

 

Thanks!

Fox

that was 3 weeks ago

I'd noticed that it wasn't announced after some time and figured it didn't pass tests.

 

crap.  my windows 10 machines don't use a microsoft account, just local user/pass.  at least as far as I know.  but that WITCH was able to tell me my login password in Edge.

 

I edited the registry and that fixed it.

 

Edited the registry for what?

 

 

Also this is an interesting one however unless you use anything but local user/pass I'd imagine this method is useless unless as Staff said if people use the same password and username for several services. I only have 3 default passwords, one protects my PC, another is for shit I don't care one bit about but still need to remember it, and the last one is the hardest of all my passwords which protect my Password database with over 200 generated passwords with at least 20 characters and digits in length

The link in the OP has a registry edit that prevents the "leak".
