Google authenticator with my phone number for 2FA? These are huge red flags that tells me AirVPN is not what they say they are i.e. secure and anonymous. Quite the contrary. Maybe even part of the great social engineering clik. No thanks. Glad I diden't actually buy a subscription.

go558a83nk reacted to Staff in Court Order, seizing the server ...
@zetterpav
Hello!
No official communication was relevant or due to customers because the server did not contain any personal information or general data pertaining to customers or the infrastructure and because we have never been served by any order of any kind or anything else. The whole report is purely based on verbal communications as a courtesy. 7 years is a reasonable time to allow proper investigation time without undue interference, as we already wrote.
None at the moment.
It may depend on court orders. If a competent court order says that something must not be disclosed for a period of time, that period of time must be respected. In this case there are no official documents whatsoever served to us, so it's just a report based on informal communications, which are not necessarily faithful to the truth.
Let's make it clear that our ethics and our mission don't imply that we will actively do something to inflict damage to any investigation. Our ethics and our mission forbid us to inspect secretly traffic or log secretly or build traps, not even if ordered by authorities, but it does not imply and never implied that we should actively do something to harm an investigation. We're glad that this case confirms that we don't keep traffic logs according to the ToS as you rightly expected.
Kind regards

go558a83nk reacted to Staff in Court Order, seizing the server ...
Hello!
We can disclose only now that we had a server in Toronto seized in 2015, initially without our knowledge. Maybe a court order was served to the datacenter. For about 10 days we did not understand what happened to the server, which did not respond, while the datacenter did not provide information. After 10 days Italian police (and not any magistrate) contacted us. They informed us that Toronto police and FBI (*) asked for our help because they could not find any log in the server. Unfortunately their help request came after the server had been already seized. They did not even make a copy, they took it physically, therefore the server went offline, probably alerting the alleged criminals. It was obvious that forensic analysis could not find any log, simply because there were none. Our VPN servers did not even store the client certificates, go figure (now they also run in RAM disks, but in 2015 they did not). The whole matter was led by informing us without any document from any court or magistrate, but only through informal police communications, and only to ask for help after forensic analysis obviously failed completely.
We were not asked to keep confidentiality on the matter, but just to stay on the safe side and support the investigation on what it appeared as a serious crime (a whole database with personal information of a commercial service was cracked, stolen and published in public when the web site owners did not pay a "ransom"; while our server was apparently not used for the crack, it was used to upload elsewhere the database) we decided not to disclose the whole matter for at least 7 years. It's one of those cases confirming that our servers do not store log, data or metadata of clients' traffic.
(*) We may speculate that FBI was involved in a Canadian matter because the stolen database contained US citizens' personal data.
Kind regards

Holy Moly, lemme get it straight, so the "whoa amazing'" Mullvad "always on the bleeding edge": doesn't offer remote port forwarding, doesn't run OpenVPN with TLS key, provides a lame traffic splitting app with built-in dns leaks "in"... I wouldn't go so far as to say that as North and Express it is a syphilitic little sidewalk whore passed off as a high-class escort, but ... good thing I left it.

go558a83nk got a reaction from bluesjunior in New Router With OpenVPN Option Question?. ...
The main reason to have your VPN client on your router is so that your whole house can go through the VPN if you wish - devices that can't run a VPN client themselves can be routed through the VPN tunnel.
But for your situation it sounds like just running Eddie when you need to torrent is the best option. The main reasons being the simplicity of the setup and the speed. Routers are known for being slow for openvpn unless they have specific chipsets that can accelerate AES.
Wireguard is fast(er) on routers, yes, but still since you don't use VPN much and only for your windows PC it's not worth getting VPN client running on router IMO.

go558a83nk reacted to Staff in OpenVPN is Open to VPN Fingerprinting ...
Hello!
The paper re-launches the anti-censorship abilities of OpenVPN over SSH which we proposed 13 years ago! It had a filter rate of 0.32, the third best outcome in the world, very remarkable and putting AirVPN in the top 3 worldwide best filtering escaping VPN. As usual we anyway recommend Tor with private obfs bridges to reach filter rates next to 0. We have invested a lot on Tor and the solution is free for everyone. In Iran and Russia Tor obfs and private bridges are instrumental against blocks.
Kind regards

go558a83nk got a reaction from sinan1568 in Torrent tracker timeouts ...
I've had issues for years with various VPN providers with some public trackers blocking various VPN servers. However, I could sometimes find a VPN server that wasn't blocked by the public trackers.
But I've never had problems with private trackers blocking VPN servers.
So, not sure what to say but to try different server locations since if the tracker is blocking the VPN servers they've likely blocked the whole IP range.

go558a83nk got a reaction from ScanFarer in Will We See More 10 Gigabit Servers in the US Soon? ...
Yeah, in the last few months (since other VPN providers stopped providing port forwarding) the usage of the Dallas servers has gone from negligible to huge. They certainly could use some attention.
P.S. if you look at Dallas server usage don't trust the "bar" of bandwidth used. Go into the server page and look at the daily usage charts. For some reason the Dallas servers often report incorrect instantaneous usage.
