you'll have to forward ports on your router (not from WAN to LAN, but from TUN to LAN) so you probably can't use the web GUI. Search this forum for port forwarding IP tables for dd-wrt and tomato. There's an official thread that Air staff made for this.

I can't explain why p2p is slow. Have you created a support ticket with all this info? It's a low chance but I'm wondering if maybe the datacenter is not being neutral and is throttling p2p.

http://status.quadranet.com/ read that for the story on why the Miami datacenter is struggling.

says the gateway is ambiguous (2 matches). could you just change your internal network to 192.168.x.x range and see if that works?

don't confuse things here. installing linux on a PC is another task down the road I think. for now a router gateway firewall with pfsense is the need. pfsense has web pages that should be enough to show you how to install pfsense. after that the interface is a web page GUI. there's no need to learn linux.

wow that's a lot.

I think it was down for maintenance yesterday. If the server were removed this wouldn't be the first time Air staff didn't make an announcement.

you won't be happy with what those routers can do for you. build a low power pfsense box with a CPU/APU that has AES-NI. I wonder if the power usage would really be more than an AC5300 router considering all the radios that are powered in that router in addition to CPU?? I set my pfsense box to throttle the CPU to minimal power mode, only 1400mhz, and it can still do at least 120mbit/s openvpn. that's just my line max. I'd never built a PC before but it was actually very easy. and it was easy to install pfsense.

Thanks!

maybe it's the send and receive buffer settings in the advanced settings of Eddie?

there was a post here, looks like it's now deleted, regarding the packet loss suffered by the 3 new servers yesterday. The servers are in Quadranet's Atlanta datacenter. Yesterday, Quadranet's Miami facility (which hosts another 3 Air servers) suffered a power loss. I'm guessing that also caused problems for the Atlanta datacenter?

the VPN is heavily encrypted it is likely that your laptop can't handle it, but that feels off given that your upload is normal but if your desktop works your router is not at fault. Hmm have you tried setting buffer sizes? that fixed a few speed issues on my end. if the cpu in the laptop can only do 20mbit/s then it'll do that uploading or downloading. it just so happens that upload speed limits by ISP are usually lower than the CPU bottleneck.

Also if he says the speed is normal with the firewall off I wouldn't think the CPU is slowing him down but again that depends on my first question whether comodo is a firewall re-read what he wrote. firewall off, AirVPN connected, speed slow. So, that just proves it's not the firewall that's at fault. from what I can tell that CPU is probably an "ultra-mobile", very low power usage, but may not have enough horsepower to run openvpn faster than the above. some are even single core so that would definitely create a bottleneck.

Staff, I'm noticing that with Albireo Air DNS is pointing to servers on the west coast of USA. Apple and Google tested so far. Can something be done so that servers closer to Atlanta are used?

What speed are you getting and what is the CPU of the laptop?

Nice, thank you! Working well so far.

To express unhappiness is not to blame. Nobody is blaming Air, but some people may switch to a provider that has a server in a better location for them. That's just business. Also, The USA government doesn't own or build the internet. Please stop saying that the internet needs fixed by the government.

Look for "PUSH_REPLY" in the log. The server sends it. if the server pushes it then I suppose it's not important to specify it in my settings - pfsense.

It seems that AirVPN is in the process of adding 3 new Atlanta servers! See, if you go to https://airvpn.org/routes/ and scroll down to "United States", you will see three new Atlanta servers: Albireo, Azha, and Dschubba. For some reason, these three servers only show up in the route checking section, and not the Eddie client or the status page. This suggests that AirVPN has not finished setting up the three new servers. Hopefully we will be able to use these new servers sometime this week. that's what I saw but didn't want to spoil the surprise. I figure they're still testing them prior to announcement.

I do this. Though not for the reasons you want to. With some effort, you can use the NAT capability of the OpenVPN client to make each connection appear to be on a different subnet. I used to use the rather complex approach involving just OpenVPN configuration that I described here: https://airvpn.org/topic/9518-faking-static-local-vpn-addess-using-client-nat-and-ifconfig/?p=10449 As I explained there, I had to change the approach a bit when AirVPN switched from topology "net30" to "subnet". Now I use a modified version of the OpenVPN client that I patched myself. If you are comfortable with patching and building software from source (fairly easy on Linux), you may be interested in this: https://airvpn.org/topic/17235-linux-partial-airvpn-usage/?p=39485 I have hinted a few times that AirVPN could probably offer a modified version of the client with something similar to my patch, but they have not bitten. wait, "topology subnet" is not in the configs last I looked. are you sure about that?

looking forward to the upcoming announcement of servers to replace kaus.

If you actually read it, they are doing it because the Southern US isn't providing a good connection maybe ask your government to fix their end before asking the VPN who is using your governments network to provide the server. it has nothing to do with location but everything to do with a datacenter who doesn't keep their word. Zosma was also mentioned and that's in New York!

crap, my favorite servers always get withdrawn.

Went to a local store and purchased the parts. With manufacturer rebate bundles the price was cheap. Got an AMD A6-7400K with an MSI A68HM-E33 V2 motherboard. Unfortunately this comes with a realtek NIC (gigabit) but it was basically free after rebates. my other NIC is a D-Link DGE-560T that I've had for a while. Since this is my first try I didn't want to go all out and get Intel. so far I haven't noticed a problem. got a cheap used hdd for only $4 also, and a cheap 2GB stick of RAM. It's not small form factor so if space is important to you this isn't the way to go. Regarding temperatures and powerd. Somewhere in the all the builds released leading up to 2.3 thermal sensors started to work. However, it seems pfsense reads temperatures wrong. I'm wondering if some part thinks the readout is in Fahrenheit and is converting to Celsius. Most of the time it reads temps 6-8C, which is impossible. Powerd definitely works. I can see the frequency change (in dashboard info) if in adaptive mode and also watch the temperature rise so I'm pretty sure the frequency readout is true. One thing to note is that for this hardware it seems that "cool n quiet" has to be turned on in the BIOS for powerd to work.

just want to thank you again and say that more people should take advantage of your guide here and begin using a pfsense machine with decent CPU. I can now run my AMD APU at 1400MHz (minimum state in powerd) and still max out my ISP line through openvpn tunnel to Air (120mbit/s). that's only 200MHz faster than my router which struggled to do 50mbit/s and it runs nice and cool. and my build was only $127, cheaper than a nice router.
