it's quite common for ISPs to throttle openvpn and will be more common in the future. and like I said it may depend on the route. ISPs negotiate routing onto the different networks thus not all network traversal is equal.

try some other servers. your ISP transit/peering to Metallah may only allow for slow speeds. I know with my ISP most routes seem subject to throttling but a few are wide open. maybe you were/are lucky with the Chicago servers.

Asus Router not loading config
go558a83nk replied to run-chicken-run's topic in Troubleshooting and Problems
the latest versions of stock (and Merlin) Asus firmware put the certs and keys from openvpn configs into jffs to free up nvram. make sure your firmware is current. A factory reset might be needed if you continue to have problems or after a firmware update since many things change. -
Hi staff, just wondering about the development plans for Eddie. Specifically, I'm wondering when Eddie will be ready to support other VPN provider configs. I've seen you mention that support for all ovpn configs was one of your goals. Thanks.

I would install Kodi and some addons such as phoenix, genesis, and more.

Port Forwarding - Question before subscription
go558a83nk replied to pitchie's topic in General & Suggestions
Yes, I think you can make this work quite well though it takes a little configuration and trial and error. I do think you will need to spend more money than you project to buy a router with powerful enough CPU to suit your needs. Did you have one in mind? Also, when you are forwarding ports you'll need to follow the below instructions no matter what router firmware you actually end up using. It's all just a linux box in the end. https://airvpn.org/topic/9270-how-to-forward-ports-in-dd-wrt-tomato-with-iptables/ -
control channel cipher satisfactory?
go558a83nk replied to go558a83nk's topic in General & Suggestions
just look at the openvpn log, it says what cipher is used. -
control channel cipher satisfactory?
go558a83nk replied to go558a83nk's topic in General & Suggestions
thanks. had to upgrade my openvpn version (Linux Mint 17.2). -
it's difficult to get a pre-paid visa that's anonymous. obviously pay with cash, but some still require personal information to activate. Eddie is AirVPN's openvpn GUI that's quite powerful. If setup properly it will prevent DNS leaks and has a kill switch.

Air uses 4096 bit. Elliptical curve may be better for the current hot topic vulnerability but only if you use ellipses that were not tampered with by the NSA to allow them a back door. -
Broadband Download Speed Question?

I'm confused by the different unit usage - megabit or gigabyte, which is it? -

stunnel is what you need to run SSL tunnel. -
Speed issues with ASUS RT-AC87U
go558a83nk replied to bleedr's topic in Troubleshooting and Problems
You are right, it uses only one CPU instead of two!!! What do you mean with OpenVPN client switching? There is only one in the router? Can you provide me with more info about taskset? I hope you don't mean PPTP or L2TP as I don't want to use these protocols for security reasons! no, I do not mean PPTP or L2TP. not sure what the stock firmware looks like but firmware 378.55 Merlin firmware has two openvpn clients. just select which client you use in the GUI. you can search the web for how to use taskset. -
ISP Throttling - DD-WRT using SSH? help!
go558a83nk replied to MrConducter's topic in Troubleshooting and Problems
to run with SSH tunnel you just need to be able to run shell scripts and have openssh installed. I don't know if dd-wrt can do this stock or if you need to install something like entware to gain access to more apps. you should ask on a dd-wrt message board -
Running the VPN-Client inside a VM with Linux
go558a83nk replied to polta's topic in General & Suggestions
1) Mint 17.x is easy to use for Linux beginners 2) Yes. I suggest you use VirtualBox as your VM type. Creating shared folders (shared between the host and guest OS) is easy in the VirtualBox settings for the VM. In the guest OS you'll find the shared folders in /media 3) In VirtualBox you can create snapshots of your VM in a healthy state and use that snapshot if you have problems later. 4) To bypass the VPN running on your host OS you'll need to setup the network type for the linux guest as bridged adapter in the "attached to" setting. NAT is default. -

DNS has nothing to do with download speed capability. Remember, all DNS does is convert "www.youtube.com" to IP address. -
Speed issues with ASUS RT-AC87U
go558a83nk replied to bleedr's topic in Troubleshooting and Problems
I use an Asus AC68 with merlin firmware as VPN client and I've never had your experience. If it's slow or throttled it is with either the router or Eddie. one thing to look at on the router is the status page with the CPU usage graph. make sure that both cores are being used when you're downloading something and openvpn is having to work hard. what that shows is that kernel work is done on one core while openvpn is running on the other core. if only one core is being used then try switching to another openvpn client in the web GUI as programming sometimes has different clients mapped to different cores. or you can just change core affinity using taskset via an SSH session. -
Servers withdrawal announcement: Etamin and Dsiban
go558a83nk replied to Staff's topic in News and Announcement
I wouldn't be surprised if staff feel that USA already has enough bandwidth. And they seem to play tricks with the ranking of USA servers in Eddie client. I'm in USA. If the scoring rule is speed, Canadian servers get more stars (5 versus 0) than USA servers. There's no reason for that as the USA servers usually have less load and bandwidth is the same. Seems a little trick to get unsuspecting users to NOT use USA servers. -
so I assume it will ask for password to decrypt?

I don't use pfsense so I'm not familiar with the screenshot. Just need to makes sure, then, that you're forwarding from the TUN device of the router to LAN.
-
is the router running as openvpn client as well? if so, you'll need to forward from TUN device to LAN device not WAN to LAN. if router is NOT running openvpn then no need to open ports at all on router and it can actually be a security hazard. in this case make sure your server is actually listening on the port AirVPN assigned for the forward and that there is no software firewall blocking.

wow, Furud will be happy to share the load.

How To: Block Windoze 7/8/8.1 Spyware Implants ('Updates')
go558a83nk replied to bigbrosbitch's topic in Off-Topic
Linux still isn't there. I installed Mint 17.2 on my laptop just a few days ago but I couldn't get satisfactory video out of it. I tried installing the latest drivers over the one supplied by kernel. Just too much tearing. (discrete nvidia card alongside intel onboard) -
they are blocking Air. Air is not blocking.
