Good to know. I had an AMD APU as my first build, cool n quiet caused it to crash, and powerd did not work. Other users here had the same issue. It ran at full power at all times, something like 110 watts with hard drive and fans, and lead me to use intel.
 
My Rangeley with drive and 120mm fan uses something like 18 watts and maxes at about 30. I keep it in a rack mount 4u case which is bigger than it needs, but allows a silent 120mm fan. Power efficiency really does add up, so I didn't mind spending $500 for all new motherboard, memory, platinum rated PSU and server case. The electricity bill savings will cover the difference over a few years, which I will certainly still be using it.
 
It actually uses less power than my wireless access point.
 
 

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.

I know nothing about such a law but seems like that would be a stretch.  after all, you're not tampering with the network.  you're only using it for an encrypted tunnel. 

This is the first VPN that I've managed to install and get working SEAMLESSLY on Linux.
I've tried HMA, PIA ExpressVPN and they are all rubbish for Linux.
This looks promising.
Congratulations all round

Export all your current rules to a netsh advfirewall format.
Create a batch file with all the rules you want to have after the VPN connection is up or down.
 
Then go the Advanced > Events tab and point to your batch file to run after the VPN is up or down.
 
This is a very flexible interface to do almost any task you want.

So, just as expected:

Prepare a good bottle of your favorite liquer, the release is very near if nothing critical is found in the RC.

I would like to see an AirVPN server on Mars since it is obvious no one would be able to geolocate the server and be totally anonymous to not only this planet but the Universe, since we assume we already know most of what the universe is.
 
Ooops,a problem there cos we don't know what the universe is but scientists say they do anyway and thats ok cos they are allowed to change their minds. Well, since Faraday, Newton, & Einstein et al, the recent scientists can change their minds as much as they like.

Hello!

We're very glad to inform you that two new 1 Gbit/s servers located in Newark, NJ (US) are available: Miaplacidus and Rasalas.
 
The AirVPN client will show automatically the new servers, while if you use the OpenVPN client you can generate all the files to access them through our configuration/certificates/key generator (menu "Client Area"->"Config generator").
 
The servers accept connections on ports 53, 80, 443, 2018 UDP and TCP.
 
Just like every other Air server, Miaplacidus and Rasalas support OpenVPN over SSL and OpenVPN over SSH.

As usual no traffic limits, no logs, no discrimination on protocols and hardened security against various attacks with separate entry and exit-IP addresses.

Do not hesitate to contact us for any information or issue.

Kind regards and datalove
AirVPN Team
 

Hello!
 
We're sorry to inform you that server Beid suffered a very severe hardware failure. Repairing it is not a viable option, unfortunately.
 
However, we're glad to inform you that twelve new powerful servers will be shipped to the SE datacenter in the very near future and one of them will replace Beid.
 
Kind regards
AirVPN Staff
 

You can create your own VPN server in the USA, Canada, UK, Netherlands, Germany, or Singapore via DigitalOcean's cloud server hosting. Tinfoil Security has a service that will generate the server for you and generate an OVPN file for you to download:
 
https://www.tinfoilsecurity.com/vpn/new
 
I tried this, and it works fine with TunnelBlick. However, my brand new personal VPN (in San Francisco, USA) is also blocked by Netflix. :-(
 

Stunnel is pretty far from a newbie guide like this is intended to be.
Maybe a series of links to advanced topics should be included.
Here's a stunner guide for starters.....
 
https://airvpn.org/topic/12800-setting-up-pfsense-22-beta-x64-as-vpn-client-with-stunnel/

If you are using the DNS Forwarder, change the DNS entries on the General settings page to your DNS of choice and select the gateway you want to make the request on in the drop down box to the right of it.
 
If you are using the Resolver, enter you DNS of choice on the General settings page, select the gateway as "None" in the drop downs. The go to the Resolver settings and select only the VPN gateway from the "Outgoing Network Interfaces".
 
 
If you are allowing clients to query other dns servers, you need to make a policy based firewall rule that tells all traffic destined for your DNS server of choice on port 53 to go out the vpn gateway. do this by selecting the gateway from the advanced otions. this firewall rule needs to be at the top of the list on the interface you are on.

yes usually I try to log in a server near me ,,,,,,
I have been testing few routers in the last few months and I can say that at moment the best is the Asus ac88u with the Asuswrt-merlin v.380.57, it has a lots of power and I do not see any different when I am with the vpn on or I have it off ....

Hi
I just wanted to say something about this , I use since few weeks a new router from asus , ac88u with Merlin and I have a vdsl 50.000 and I download with 5,9 mb/s without vpn (airvpn) I get the same .....

yes, the AC56 has the same processor.  as I posted previously in this thread, visit the merlin asus forum to get some questions answered.  e.g. you'll want to learn how to overclock slightly to increase openvpn speed.
 
there is no tutorial on getting the SSL tunnel running.  I just did it myself.  Again, as mentioned previously, install entware after merlin asus firmware is installed.  Entware has to be installed on a USB drive connected to the router.
 
Once entware is installed you can then install stunnel. 
 
then download the linux configs for the Air server you want, selecting SSL setup.  you'll also want to select resolved hosts in ovpn.
 
put the files stunnel.cert and *.ssl into a directory on the USB drive (this should be easy to do if you enable samba server in the USB options).  Then just run stunnel, "stunnel servername.ssl".
 
When you upload the ovpn config into the openvpn client it'll configure the proper IP address (it'll point to the router itself) and port.

you should get a version of the AC68, in my opinion.  the N66 has too slow a processor.  the AC68 versions (there are several versions, U, P, etc.) have a dual core processor that can run openvpn at acceptable speeds.  Of course, that depends on what you call acceptable.  Anyway, the AC68 is old enough that most kinks are worked out of firmware.  Remember you'll need to use Merlin Asus firmware for this.

Hello Guys 
 
I was using the internet normally like a normal person and suddenly found out that I can't connect to my other VPN clients when i wanted to open some GEO restricted sites.
 
I tried every VPN software including (Vypr VPN,VPN Unlimited, PIA, Hide.me, hidemyass, CyberGhost, Zenmate, ZenVpn...etc) and even more that i couldn't count.
 
The result was that every one of these VPN Provider failed to bypass my country censorship on the VPNs and when I said failed , I meant that It was able to connect but all of them including AirVPN (normal methods to connect) got triggered as a VPN connected therefore the  connection quality was reduced to somewhat like that

you should never purchase any other VPN Software that doesn't support SSL/SSH Tunneling.

Now it's your choice to think about what VPN to buy.

Problem solved; disabled my IPv6 in my network connection.

could this be from WebRTC?

Might be also HTML5 geolocation and IPv6.

Dear Nusakan
 
Farewell. You were a good server.
Especially for me since you were one of those servers with which I had the lowest packet latency.
I can replace you, but you will be remembered. Forever and ever.
 
g

crap, that was my favorite overseas (for me) server.
 
edit: I'm curious what abuse is happening.  I know for a fact that at least 1 bittorrent seedbox company uses i3d datacenter.  So, surely they aren't complaining to you, Air, about that sort of thing.

that was my favorite server too as I had a direct link to NL via AMS-IX. I also have a server with i3d and hadn't experienced the level of incompetence that is being reported.
 
Sad to see Nusakan dropped Can you please consider NFOrce instead??

Hello,
As you might have noticed, there is a list circulating on the privacy related forums
recently regarding VPN providers:
 
Old chart (The author of the chart did not provide any credible info regarding his tests)
 
</deprecated>
 
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FJTvWT5RHFSYuEoFVpAeQjuQPU4BVzbOigT0xebxTOw/edit?pref=2&pli=1#gid=0
 
<deprecated>
  New chart: 
https://www.comparitech.com/blog/vpn-privacy/best-vpns-privacy-and-anonymity/
 
 
 
While this list might be useful to avoid some providers, it lacks (imho) key values like if the
announced locations are real locations and not fake Whois+GeoIP tricks, if the servers are
actual bare-bone servers with real internet providers and not cheap shared bandwidth
resellers, and of course who is the team behind the VPN company and how they respond
to critical security issues, privacy questions and "hard" questions regarding their service.
 
I want to make it an open discussion, where the members that submit their thoughts
"Why provider X is better than Air", where me, or other members, can explain why most of
the times this is a lie.
Since most of those providers oversell cheap VPS servers, and have GeoIP tricks with
fake whois (HMA/PureVPN/Ivacy are a good example) to show you 50+ countries
where in fact it is mostly NL/US location where you can put fake data in the IP, and open a
ticket to Maxmind to update the location. And here you go, a fake country is ready for the
gullible users to fall in.
I would like to make a discussion where every member can post a "feature" where they think
another provider is better, but as I explained, most of them only false advertize it in most cases.
The only thing I cannot put up on this challenge is the price, however, being in the hosting industry
I do know how much Air pays for their leased servers - this is not a cheap thing to run at all.
There are about 100 providers in this list, I tried to find one that is at least honest about their infrastructure and their privacy policy, but I couldn't find anyone except Air. Now this is rather
bad news than good one - I wanted to see more, but a fact is a fact...

Feel free to throw competitive names here, in a nicely manner, and I will try as much as possible
to show you why some points you believe in - are not exactly the way there are on this list.
You can also try and point out some improvement points for Air, based on that list, and if they
are interesting I am sure Staff can comment about them.
 
Regards.

yes, you need to use merlin's asus firmware.  he's coded in policy based routing via GUI of the openvpn client page.
