    But Air have said that they will not increase the use of M247
     



    It is always good to have diversity on a network. 


    They did not say they wouldn't add more M247.  They said they had no plans to.  That was some time ago and plans change.

    After playing around in the settings more, I have gotten my upload speed to reach 50mbps, but the download speed is only 10mbps? If the upload speed is high, that must mean that the speed is not being limited by the CPU? I'm not 100% sure I have everything set up correctly because since the DD-WRT guide was written it has been updated to add a lot more options that I had to try and figure the correct settings for.

    It's a good chance your ISP is traffic shaping when your upload is faster than download.  Try TCP for transport protocol (not UDP) and see if that helps.

  3. AirVPN uses the same CA for their whole network same as Windscribe did and does. 

    Windscribe have updated theirs now due to this incident and now nobody would be in danger from this incident unless they haven't updated their manual configs...and in that case they wouldn't be able to connect to Windscribe's network :)

    Individual server certs are different and my understanding is that those are unique to each server for AirVPN and Windscribe.

    P.S. what did Windscribe omit in the current damage control?


  4. What data cipher is being used now?  Which one was being used?

    I mean, look in the system log to see what actually happened.

    It sounds like you have an ac86 or one of the asus routers with AES-NI.  So, you maybe need to make sure to use an AES encryption though chacha20 (available with openvpn 2.5) may be fast too.

    Is it possible that AES-NI acceleration has been disabled?  Have you asked this in Merlin support forum?


  5. You're not artificially being throttled by Air.  That's just the way things are with openvpn with limitations by CPU, network, internet, etc.  A client on the usual 1gbit/s server will see only about 500mbit/s download max because the server throughput limit is 1gbit/s inbound and outbound combined. 

    Air does have at least 1 server that's 10gbit/s.  Try it to see if it's any better for you.

    Well then that would point to a problem with the AirVPN config generator. In the config it specifically shows the remote as "nl.vpn.airdns.org". Will that return the wrong list of servers?

    No, the problem is with you unable to follow directions.

    In the tutorial, the first directive in the "generate AirVPN certificates" section is to enable advanced mode.  Have you turned on advanced mode in the config generator?

    I appreciate you chiming in, but I was referencing the guide at https://nguvu.org/pfsense/pfsense-baseline-setup/
    In the setup for the VPN the screen shot shows "TLS Encryption and Authentication". That does not work. Only "TLS Authentication" works.
    Additionally for Auth digest algorithm he shows SHA512 , that does not work. Auth digest algorithm only works with SHA1 (160 bit).

    If you find this not to be the case, then there is something definitely wrong with PFsense 2.5. and I should probably look for another firewall.
     


    The guide is for a tls-crypt setup where those settings are what work.  What you're missing is that you need to connect to an entry IP 3 or 4.  The guide actually says " please double check you select an appropriate ‘tls-crypt, tls1.2’ end point. This is a common source of problems."

    For plex remote access you either need to forward the port through the VPN or you need to setup, in eddie, plex.tv to go outside the VPN tunnel.

    Can you post documentation on how to do this - this sounds like something I need to do.

    in the settings of Eddie there should be a section for adding routes...in the VPN tunnel or outside the VPN tunnel.

    Would you mind telling me what Data Encryption Algorithms and Auth digest algorithm yours is set at? I have mine on AES-256-GMC but cannot set it to anything above SHA1. It just will not connect.

    Cheers

    sha1 is what you use with entry IP 1 and 2. sha512 (and tls encryption and authorization) is used for entry IP 3 and 4 configs.

  10. There's no need to manually set 10.4.0.1.  Just tell set your VPN client settings to use the pushed DNS exclusively.  It'll change it automatically upon connect.  Use OpenNIC for the DNS settings in the WAN section.  That'll allow you to resolve domains when the VPN isn't connected and for devices that don't go through the VPN if you use the policy routing option.

    @NLVPN

    Hello!

    Also consider that you can have robust load balancing with a pfSense (and in general *BSD) box and AirVPN:
    https://nguvu.org/pfsense/pfsense-multi-vpn-wan/

    Kind regards
     

    Yes, this is what I do for downloading big files.  It's rare that I'm able to hit that 500+ mark from a single connection both because my ISP and intermediate networks just aren't "allowing" it, or because the VPN server isn't up to it.  But when spread out it's much easier.  That said, some endpoint servers won't allow you to multi wan and it won't help with bittorrent either.
