LZ1

Hello!

And now after an interesting exchange, it got a little too interesting, with insults. 

Locked. 

Goodbye!

Hello!

That's quite relevant, Staff. Let's just pin this topic.

thanks, is it secure manipulation ? no risks ?

Hello!

As much risk as there is, willfully bypassing a security measure

Hello

If you are using a Eddie on laptop, then go to settings --- Protocols, Un-check automatic, and press on UDP Ip3 443.... If it doesnt work then try TCP Ip3 443, then SSH Then SSL

Hello!

And to add to this, remember to re-connect to a server each time, for the changes to take effect.

Are you saying that you can still access BBCode? How?

If I could not retrieve and save the BBCode for a largish post/guide that I had written, I would be very disinclined to ever modify/update it.

If I had the BBCode for a guide that I wrote for another forum, how would I port it here without a huge effort?

Not being able access the BBCode raises a question in my mind. Do I have rights to the content of my posts here? This does not seem very "open".

 

Nadre, you may be able to achieve something similar, if you go to Browse>My Activity Streams>Create New Stream>Then tick the boxes associated with seeing topics and including everything. Then your custom stream will show up under My Activity Streams.

Nah, I do. But the inability to disable email notifications drives me mad. 😣

I could not agree more. It's especially bad if one isn't even using a valid e-mail address - as AirVPN allows - thus one won't get notifications as much presumably.

@NoiselessOwl

There are some bugs and they're being worked on :). I actually just experienced what you described, when I posted, clicked "multiquote" then edited my reply. But I can't immediately reproduce it. This was in Chromium.

I also see my post count went from 2002 or so to 1990. Hm. Well the 90's were great anyhow 😄

The config generator looks horrible. Things are misaligned and the load bar should not be gray.

The site does load noticeably faster now.

Have you tried using a different browser, such as Chrome?

It also appears I'm not getting notifications of replies, even though it should be enabled.

Everything looks new, flat and whitespacy alright. I suppose here is where people can suggest sane defaults.

Forum loads significantly faster than before.

Maybe it's just me, my fonts and my eyes, but the fancy blue forum titles look dizzyingly fuzzy here.

I"m going to try and say Haha to LZ1 because he's nice to people and because now I can.

 

edit: Turns out there are now audio notifications too! Check yours here:  https://airvpn.org/notifications/options/

Indeed, there's audio. But it seems like it's no longer possible to simply "Follow" a thread and get a notification. Now it's only via email, unless one starts or replies to a thread. 

Indeed. But luckily my signature remained the same, structurally. It's just not very colorful now.

• I just noticed we can now not only "Like" but append a specific emotion. "Like", "Sad", "Thanks", "Haha" and "Confused".
  

I think that will be mildly hilarious around here. Whatever Staff says, there will be 10 newly registered users clicking the heart icon and choosing "Confused" 😂. But now likes can also be removed.

But you made me sad giga, so you get the sad icon attached. I don't know how this will factor into your Like count though, haha. It will factor in independently. So your likes are separate from your sadness score. Oh dear.

Hello!

After scheduled downtime, the AirVPN website design has changed substantially.

What are your thoughts about the new design?

I can definitely say there's some fancy new additions that make some things a little smoother, even if it's tempting to want an "old.airvpn.org" site😄.

• Possible to "Recommend" posts and not just mark them as the solution.
• The design is more flat and the colors seem brighter overall.
• There's some tags which no longer work in signatures, but still in posts.
• There's now a reminder for unregistered users that they'll need to have their posts approved, before their posts are visible.
• More captchas it seems.
• The location of various information has been moved, such as with the top bar and your sign-in location.
• More use of drop-down menus.
• Profile settings options have been moved around, but seemingly remain largely the same.
• Some better moderator UI facilities.
• Apparently the AirVPN support departments like "Support", "Feedback" and others, have been combined into one single unit.
• Everything in the Client Area is now a top-down sort of affair.
• The FAQ sub-forum was changed, so that it has its own place under the "Home" menu.

Hello!

Have you checked out the stickied/pinned threads?

You might also want to append some Eddie logs. Instructions in my signature.

Hello!

Welcome to AirVPN!

Have you tried changing to the appropriate servers? Their site at https://play.hbogo.com/ doesn't work unless you're using an AirVPN server based in the US.

So go to the Eddie client that you presumably downloaded>Servers Tab>Double-click a US server. Then start whichever HBO app or website in question.

It's also good to point out, that if HBO doesn't work after everything has been tried, you may have more luck with Netflix, where GoT is also available.

I'm sorry the guide isn't very clear. I've been meaning to change it for some time now.

Stickied.

Hello!

1. You don't need to touch your router if you're just running the Eddie client locally on your PC, unless you have a specific setup in mind.
2. You mentioned trying protocols: but did you try SSL/SSH and also remember to click "OK" and re-connect to a (nearby) server, after each change?
3. Have you been through this stickied guide to Virgin?
4. Have you tried these options for desktop Eddie? You don't need a profile/config generator by the way.
5. Did you remember to update qBittorent and/or port-forward it? Please remember that there's guides to torrenting in my signature.
6. Speedtests don't always tell the truth, so remember to test multiple times, controlled conditions, etc. etc.
7. You don't really need to deal with the TAP issue any longer, if you've installed the latest Stable client or Beta.
8. Remember to download the test-torrent from ipleak.net when you're done, to ensure you're not leaking.

Your age isn't a problem.

Hello!

Thank you.

It's a subject of frequent frustration, so I've highlighted past threads which should help spread the word.

I can recommend reading Staff's post and the one immediately after it, regarding servers supposedly being marked.

Stickied, locked and solution marked, to clarify AirVPNs position on this issue.

Note that as with any other site, whether it's Netflix, Hulu, iPlayer or something else, it's sometimes possible to get through and sometimes isn't.

By stickying these threads, we can hopefully help make the Blocked Sites forum a little more readable and useful.

Hello!

Pinning this and marking giganerds answer as the "solution" for convenience, as it's important we make as many people as possible aware of the issue of running exit nodes in this fashion.

Further interesting and clarifying messages include:

From giganerd:

 

Tor usage on its own (Tor browser, Orbot, whatever) is encouraged.

Configuring the Tor bundle for example as a relay node is allowed.

Configuring it as an exit node is discouraged.

One of a few Staff posts:

Hello!

 

Some additional considerations on the whole discussion. It seems somehow paradoxical that some of our customers explicitly ask for Net Neutrality violation when they look exactly for a service capable to respect Net Neutrality with no discriminations against any protocol. As soon as Net Neutrality respect brings inconveniences created by third-parties, we are somehow invited to send such respect into the trashcan. We tend to think that it would be more appropriate and honest to focus energy and protests against those services whose administrators actively contribute to destroy the open Internet, with Tor indiscriminate bans, huge blacklists which block millions of IP addresses just because they are 'used as NAT' or because they are used to operate dedicated servers. It seems unquestionable that the concept behind such actions is an Internet where end-to-end principle and privacy are deemed as negative features to be fought.

 

Remember our philosophy and mission: banning a server of ours because it's a source of problems appears as a very questionable action.

It is the same error that some services do with Tor: to hit someone, they ban innocent users who love their privacy or who are forced to use Tor to bypass censorship in their country.

 

If our servers or a Tor node are performing vulnerability scan, service needs to fix the vulnerability, not blame who caught it red handed.

If our servers or a Tor node are wasting a service resource, service operators need to learn how to configure well their systems.

If a service can't afford a method to manage spam, it should close the discussion system, it would be better for all.

 

For all of the above, AirVPN will never violate Net Neutrality, and so we'll never commit any action to help "incompetent services".

 

Kind regards

AirVPN Staff

Hopefully that'll help make more people aware of the issue. Locking for now, as I believe most of what could be said, has been said already.

Hello!

Anyway to cut a long story short I had received a Win10 update a week or so ago so(...)

Many good IT horror stories start precisely like this :D.

It would be good if:

• You check you're using the latest AirVPN and qBittorent clients.
• Check ipleak.net and also download the testtorrent to check for any leaks.

Any opinions received with gratitude.

Use an OS which doesn't force you to do things you don't want to. Then you can always dual-boot with Windows or run it in a VM when it's needed.

Hello!

Which client version are you running and do you have any logs you can share?

Has something changed where IPv4 is no longer used?

No.

No problem.

If that fails, there's other things you can try.

Similarly, submitting a support ticket is also possible if that's more convenient for you. .

Hello!

This *may* be resolved if you try update to the experimental/beta version of Eddie. Instructions can be found in my signature.

It's possible that behavior happens if after the black/whitelisting, that Eddie isn't closed via its own menus, but I'm not sure.

Hello!

You can run AirVPN on many devices simultaneously. If you have an Android phone, AirVPNs Eddie software is available for it. Please check the FAQ in my signature.

While if you want to run AirVPN from your computer, you're welcome to check the other guide in my signature, where many additional questions are answered .

Hello!

Here you go. Select iPad in the top-right corner.

Otherwise there's no Eddie iOS yet, only the regular desktop Eddie for MacOS and Eddie Android. Check my FAQ for more on that.

 

Hello!

 

Eddie is under a wide and deep "re-engineering" which needs some more time. A lot of work has been done anyway, and you will see news soon!

 

Kind regards

Any news on this?

There hasn't been any news and since it seems to be a rather big set of changes, an ETA is likewise very hard to come by. So as annoying as it is, there's "news when there's news" and not before.

If a given version of Eddie isn't working for you, please remember that under "Other Versions" on the download page you can download previous versions too.

I see 2.15.2, 2.14.5 and 2.13.6 are available for MacOS. Besides the 2.17.2 beta.

Hello!

This is just a short FAQ for Eddie Android, which is developed by AirVPN and first launched in 2018. I'll expand upon the FAQ as needed.

Further ideas, thoughts, questions and suggestions are of course welcome as always.

Please be aware that answers about AirVPN or desktop Eddie can often be found in the guide in my signature.
