Hello!

No. 

As per my guide, you'll also see it explained that future placements are not announced ahead of time.

When this promo ends anyway? I don't see any info, is this one day only?

FYI, we can now see that it lasted from the 30th October until the 4th of November.

I really like the Eddie Client notice about this deal. I missed the Birthday promo due to not even knowing about it. The client notice is a very nice change. Can't help but wonder if the Black Friday promo may be a larger discount. Looking back on the Facebook page there wasn't even a Halloween promo offered and BF 2018 was a 67.5% discount. So debating pulling the trigger now or holding out for BF. hmmm choices choices. Please thought keep with the Eddie Client notices about promos that was a very nice change.

I got it as well. But I'm certain there's going to be those who find it annoying. Perhaps Staff should just add a "Notifications" tab underneath "Logs" or "Overview" and just let a red 1 appear - much like the forum notifications. 

Hello!

Haha, this sudden orange onslaught did provide a slight scare, I must admit. But this is new: you're now doing Halloween celebrations.

Staff, I suggest you also do Chinese New Year celebrations around January/February. That, coupled with the Black Friday, Christmas/New Year and Birthday celebrations, will ensure you've got the VPN market cornered from November to May. Leaving only a few months of summer for the competition, where in many places of the world, it'll be too hot to be sitting inside using a VPN anyway . At any rate, I think you've used up the last 9 years of marketing budget getting that font to work . 

Hello!

Then please submit your feedback with the appropriate logs in the corresponding beta thread:  

Hello!

This is excellent news. 

But you added an unusual warning at the end, which seems unusual. Wondering if it'll spread more FUD than necessary and perhaps not get you the same amount of feedback, in return.

Anyway, it's working for me so far. The only minor errors, are UI texts. Not bad Staff :).

Hello!

That has already been addressed many times before . In short, Air already does.

I would recommend that you read some of the questions and answers in the guide in my signature, as you'll be able to find many links to other security and privacy-related features.

Hello!

I've already addressed that line of questioning in the guide in my signature. Please look under the First Questions section. 

Among the answers, one answer is that Air has on many occasions stated how it's not required that you trust AirVPN, if you follow the "partition of trust" way of doing things. 

Hello!

Didn't you see the Brazilian server that was just added?

Hello!

That's answered here.

Hello!

Please read the First Questions section in the guide in my signature. TL;DR: No service can guarantee such a thing, not least because even the best security can be undermined if the user isn't careful. 

But in certain scenarios, yes a VPN will help - such as if you're connecting to a WiFi network while connected to AirVPN - then would-be eavesdroppers on the network will have a much harder time. 

Practically, you can start with using Network Lock, then go about checking how private your browser is, such as through the EFF panopticlick website. From there, experiment with privacytools.io for example.  

Hello!

I note the change:

To worthily celebrate AirVPN ninth birthday, we're glad to inform you that starting from now we will offer a 20% discount on all long term plans

So everything below the 1 year plans, do not get the discount anymore. 

It's still weird to me, that the birthday celebrations still aren't the ones with the biggest and widest discounts. Seems more worthy to me . 

Happy birthday. 

Hello!

1. It depends on the latency and/or what IP you want at the time. Otherwise they're all essentially the same. 
2. Boredom? Otherwise not really - usually not for new users at least.
3. It's considered a superior choice to pick one outside your home country - use the black/white lists. Do note that a VPN isn't a silver bullet for privacy though. 
4. Normally no. If you're using Network Lock, you won't be able to browse until the connection is reestablished. But just verify through ipleak.net what IP you've got at any given time. 
5. Yes if you use Network Lock. 
6. No?
7. ????
8. No?

Hello!

Like Android Eddie?

 It's a glaring omission from the server list and it's simply disregarded because we have Norway and Sweden which are not comparable to Iceland in terms of legal protection and stance/cooperation

No, I don't think that's entirely accurate. We must assume that Air wants to add as many locations as possible, but only if it makes sense - both legally, but certainly also technically.

Hello!

It's refreshing to see a video review. I must say, that regardless of your review, that this is the most important:

I am affiliated, but not sponsored by any VPN. This means I do make money when you click on the links provided, but keep my own opinion to be legit and truthful without bias. I do not host sponsored content on this channel, which means I am not paid to promote VPNs in a positive manner. All of my opinions on this channel are strictly my own!

I'm impressed that you mentioned the forums as a useful element as a part of the VPN experience, in conjunction with the no logging. That's easily missed. 

• But you missed the reasoning behind why AirVPN doesn't offer the live chat feature which you requested, it seems.
• Further, I don't think it's reasonable to list it as a con that there weren't enough or should be more servers and then not specify what - if any - you were looking for. But AirVPN just added a whole new country actually. 
• Since security/privacy is one of AirVPNs selling points, I also think it would've helped your review, if you had made it clearer that Air doesn't just add any server because it's popular, but only if it's the right thing to do. 
• In the same vein, you could then have considered adding some more factoids about those servers, such as them all being bare metal, which can be important for many reasons.
• There's many other aspects I think you could've gone more into: how Bitcoin is handled, the approach to P2P, Android Eddie and so forth. You can read a list of Air-related security links in my guide's First Question section.
• I'm surprised you didn't mention the apparent complexity of Air that much. It was mentioned briefly with Eddie's menu's, while other reviewers usually make a bigger deal out of all the technical jargon.
• Perhaps in a future review, you could attempt to test certain features more. Such as - how good is Network Lock actually? After all, "killswitches" are a big deal, but they don't always work fully. 

Overall not bad .

Hello!

Please try airvpn.info  

Hello!

Please see this link and submit a support request.

Hello!

Have you tried downloading the Beta client 2.17.2? There's instructions in my signature. Otherwise you can also try to submit a support ticket if you're still experiencing issues .

do you plan a rebate promotion in the next few months ?

thank you for your great service , times are changing in europa, and more than ever you are necessary 

 

Probably the end of May. 

But it's listed in my guide at any rate, in the First Questions section.

It took a few years, but now AirVPN officially supports the EFF . Not by a small amount either! Air is now supporting as a "Super Major" donor. So we're talking at least $2,500, so that's at least 2,240 EUR.

Ahhh...well, I am on a laptop (don't have a desktop at the moment), so perhaps it's a simple issue of screen real estate.  Or, a lack thereof on my part!    Apologies for the likely false alarm!

No it's great you report it just in case, thank you :).

Hello!

I'm pinning this, as it's a slightly recurring issue, which there's no need to make many threads about :).
