  1. Hello,

     

    I'm quite new to VPN and I've been testing all the ports in the airvpn application to see which gives me the best speed.

    With most of the ports (udp and tcp) I cant get over 2MB/s, only on port 80 gives me decent speed (12MB/s).

     

    I was wondering if any of you knew what could be the cause of this? Is it my ISP throttling the other ports? 

     

    Thanks 

     

    Have you tried SSL and SSH tunnels?  How does 12MB/s compare to your ISP speed?


  2. ​linux mint 17.3

     

    openvpn (no AirVPN client)

     

    i am unable to connect to the Air servers - tried restarting openvpn and rebooting - this is unusual as everything has worked fine for momnths

     

    i'm sure more info will be needed to help troubleshoot, but i'm new to linux and don't really know what to provide

     

    what i am seeing via 'ifconfig' is that the TUN0 interface is AWOL and, far as i know, i've done nothing to cause that

     

    from the log i'm seeing:

     

    TLS Error: TLS key negotiation failed to occur within 60 seconds (check your network connectivity)

     

    why not use Eddie?


  3. Sorry for getting back late on this subject and thanks to everyone who replied.

     

    ​Nothing wrong on my end regarding my setup. Nothing has changed for a good long while regarding torrent client.

    ​No PeerBlock, proxies or other forms of software that may cause a conflict.

    ​The problem seems to have been solved now, see below:

    ​Isn't it odd that when you contact your ISP to raise the issue everything starts to work normally again

     

    Your ISP should have nothing to do with the problems you had if you were using the VPN properly.  Remember, your connection is encrypted to the VPN server.  Your ISP can't manipulate what's within that tunnel.


  4. Hello, thank you for the guide I would never have succeeded  without it. Following your instructions to the letter I now have a working setup. Before moving to  pfSense I used the software AirVPN made available for Linux  which allowed me to connect using ssh or ssl in order to avoid my connection to AirVPN being identified. I am unsure that when using pfSense I still have this protection or perhaps I need to modify my setup to enable this facility. Your advice would be much appreciated.

    Regards.

     

    Yes, you can run stunnel so that you can do openvpn within SSL tunnel.  I would imagine SSH is also available but I've not tried it.

     

    There was a post in pfsense forums regarding installing stunnel from the freebsd repo.


  5. I tried to install AirVPN's client on a virtualized Linux guest over Windows host but I couldn't install the .deb package, then I tried to connect through openvpn with an .ovpn file but Linux couldn't get DNS resolution so I tried to do it directly on the Windows host by downloading AirVPN's desktop software.

    When connected I'm still getting worse pings and worse download speeds than with IPVanish.  

     

    Idk, I was just looking for a stable VPN provider because IPVanish drops constantly the connection multiple times every hour, but I get much better pings and download speeds with them no matter what country/server I'm connected to than with AirVPN. It's a shame, it seems AirVPN needs to get more solid and mature to have higher download speeds and to get a connections established more easily.

     

    I think I'll stick with the other VPN provider for the moment until AirVPN provides better download speeds/pings, and ease of use.

    AirVPN has very interesting features other providers don't offer, like OpenVPN through SSL or SSH, Port Forwarding and the ability to manually choose specific options. 

     

    the .deb installer package works very well for me in Mint 17 and 18 virtualbox guest. 


  6.  

    I'm not seeing it.  So what if authorities see the same IP connect to KAT, facebook, and apple.  Assuming it's all encrypted (https), how would they know what accounts are being accessed on those sites?  What am I missing?

     

    The fact that he used his home ISP in Poland to login to Apple, Facebook, and the site administration page.

    This can triangular to a perfect match, since you have a common point of interest where one is a human evidence

    (Facebook profile) and second is electronic (Unique IP address). Then it is usually easy to send requests to all other

    U.S. based services with a request for more info.

    After that you load all the data of points of interests to a device like Palantir:

    We need to wait for the final indictment to know more details, just like with the SR case. Right now it's only

    small drafts. This is usually released after the first prosecution takes place.

     

    It only makes sense to me if they hacked KAT and got cooperation from apple and facebook on the timing of the connections to their services by that IP.  If apple and facebook don't cooperate I don't see how they'd make the connection.  Anyway, shame on apple and facebook for cooperating.

  8. I been reading up the information about how the scoring system work. It explicit lower score mean better server. So I am in America and it keep connecting me to Canada server which it is 5 stars. USA server is basically 0 stars which I assumed it have a better low score overall than any of the server. And yet it pushing me to connect to Canada server. Canada have higher MS and more user than USA server. AirVPN have Canada and America Server ticked and recommended me to Canada. 

     

    This goes against the idea of low scoring is best. It seem like high scoring is best? I am little confused. 

     

    there is a setting to change scoring the scoring rule - either speed or latency.  speed rule is default and it will show Canada as the best for USA users.  latency rule will show you what you want.


  9. Hello !

    ​I see that despite posting the identical post in that other thread and therefore praising the Staff twice, you apparently still don't trust them enough to notice your post, unless you make a thread eh, haha. Must be heartbreaking for Staff . I suspect they'd say they "don't need no prominence" if topic-starters would simply do a better job of marking the solution which works; which in many cases, appeared even on page 1 of their threads.

    ​TL;DR: A "Keep Calm & check Yo tunnels" banner on the right would likely be more or less equally effective lol. No amount of prominence will matter during a panic attack.

     

    no, the solution to this problem isn't for users to mark solutions.  when there is a large problem like what happened Staff do need to make an announcement.  many people probably consider that disabling checking DNS and route is decreasing their security.  whether that's true or not, some guidance by Staff is much more assuring and authoritative than other users.


  10. As go558a83nk said, maybe you should check your antivirus/firewall exceptions lists; especially your firewall, if you're torrenting.

     

    it's about some security software freaking out when all those UDP connections are made by torrenting.  at least that's what I remember from some previous problems that, if I recall correctly, were the same as this sounds.


  11. That could well be, since Eddie is just an OpenVPN wrapper right? And perhaps when you don't run Eddie, you don't have the same options such as unchecking various kinds of route checks; which was what the solution to the problem was: uncheck DNS and tunnel checking.  But I'm not sure.

     

     

    I've been reporting a problem to support since 7 am (Thailand time) and have yet to hear BOO from anyone. I got much quicker responses before I'd actually signed up. For two days everything worked swimmingly and then today I cannot connect. The program finds a server (in Canada), tries to connect, times out, waits 3 seconds, tries again.....and again......and again. I have to logout to stop slowing down my regular isp. I"m frustrated and confused. I don't can't frame a query that the forum finder accepts. I want to throw the program in the dustbin.

     

    That's because we don't externalize the support service. Do you prefer a copied & pasted, pre-packaged answer after a few minutes, with a plus of a meaningless chat with some remote call center which handles hundreds of different services from dishes to computers, or a competent answer, written by the service personnel, which needs the time that it really needs?

     

    If you prefer the first type of aforementioned support then Air is not the service for you.

     

    That said, today is a special day because a certificate deployment failure on several VPN servers caused major problems (now solved) for hours, with a subsequent and dramatic surge of support requests. Anyway, all the support requests will be satisfied within a few hours, as it always happens. Only a few hours delay due to the tickets congestion.

     

    Kind regards

     

    I was able to connect to a USA server during the problem time with my pfsense box.  Was the problem only effecting the Eddie client?

     

    Yes, I've since seen the post from Staff saying this effected only checking route and DNS, which only Eddie does.  Plus it apparently only effected some servers.  Maybe I got lucky and hit a good one.

  13. By DNS NAT rule I assume that's the port forwarding rule that redirects all DNS requests to the pfsense resolver (usually 192.168.1.1)? 

     

    If that's what you're talking about, don't change that.

     

    to change DNS go to system ->general setup.  Input the DNS you want, make sure gateway selections are all "none" for the DNS.

     

    Assuming your other settings are still good this should work.


  14. Antares does get pretty loaded sometimes.  More than the average server for sure.

     

    I think it's an expensive place so Air is probably careful about adding servers there.  But, I think if they are convinced it's needed they will add one.
