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.

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.

I don't have a KAT account but it does bother me that my birth nation polices the world so eagerly and thoroughly.  I don't believe they have the right but what do I know.

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.

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.

I've already said that I think it's your security software.  Have you tested with all your Kaspersky (or any other 3rd party stuff) disabled?

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.

I was just able to connect with checking DNS and checking route *on*.  Problem fixed?

There may be some system wide problems.  Reading these reports and noting that right now system-wide bandwidth usage is much lower than normal....things seem to be adding up.

Sorry, I just saw that you pasted your iptables.

 

TUN13 is correct? 

 

What does this website say when you test if the port is open on your port forwarding page?  Remember to have your server listening on that port when you test.

I don't know how to help you there as I have no experience with that method.  Sorry.

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.

Seems this server is having problems again.  Any word Staff?

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.

Plenty of netflix threads already exist and AirVPN no longer claims to support Netflix.  Unfortunately they've done a great job of defeating VPN users.

better to head to asus merlin forums to ask this question because I think some versions of the firmware take slightly different wording/syntax in the iptables rules.

 

http://www.snbforums.com/forums/asuswrt-merlin.42/

what is the server that's listening?  it sounds like it's listening on your WAN interface instead of TAP except when it's forced to listen to TAP interface by network lock.

It may be better to ask a windows forum about what port RDP uses.

 

It's easy to create a forwarded port with AirVPN that redirects to a different local port (RDP port). 

 

However, can you tell your remote machine to connect to a port other than the usual RDP port?  It will need to connect to the port AirVPN has opened externally.

The best thing to do is build or buy a pfsense box or some other good firewall software. These are powerful enough to run openvpn at good speeds for the whole house. It doesn't take much understanding to configure them to your needs and there is an excellent setup guide in this forum.

 

Consumer routers will probably not make you happy.  The best can run openvpn at about 60mbit/s, max.  The best.  Not an asus n66 or the like.

not sure I understand what you've done 100%.

 

as I understand it you have altered the listening port on your FTP server to match the forwarded ports you've created. correct?

 

what are your routing tables?

Just one more language then?  Or do you for get that English is European? 

Does AIR have any plans for more connections? I have over 8 Devices that can't use a router to connect and it will cost a bomb to buy separate accounts to run it on these devices.

 

why can't they use a router?

You know, there was a time not too long ago that I was suggesting people join Air purely because they do not play the bullshit games of other VPNs. It turns out I was wrong. Rather than directly accuse every other VPN on Earth of all manner of nonsense, they leave that to the rabid shills here.

 

And you guys are doing a fantastic job dragging the name of AirVPN through the mud as you toss out opinions as facts.

 

There was exactly one other VPN I never saw doing this. And you guys are ragging on them in this very thread.

I used to be a PIA customer and am quite familiar with their forums. This place is kind and peaceful compared to the PIA forums. The PIA "shills" on their forums were/are maniacal and utterly hateful. I'm quite taken aback that you imply PIA never did "this".

 

I'm also really surprised that you're defending PIA. In my mind this situation PIA is/was in is like the old saying "fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice, shame on me."
