  1. Donald Trump has already done wonders for Democracy Thank you for the links Kepler - It's good you stay updated and determined. I admire that.
  2. Hello! You need to install the experimental version. Please check the guide in my signature . Welcome to AirVPN! Goodday.
  3. But wait, that's ZeroNet. Did it actually stop the Air site from saying "port reserved by another user"? Because that was the objective, as far as I was concerned. After presumably forwarding the port correctly, you can do a TCP test from the same area . Make sure your firewall and/or other security software isn't blocking anything for you.
  4. That was a good read, thank you. It brought up many of the points I brought against Kepler as well - the notion that it's excellent to have ideals such as his, but that it should be tempered with: Paying attention to practical matters and reality on the ground. Example: Do poor, uneducated white men have legitimate gripes with the system and thus a good reason to vote Trump? An ability to view not just one side of an issue or opinion, but to evaluate both, in an attempt to arrive at as truthful a perception of reality as possible. Example: Why does China act how it acts, in the SCS? Are drone strikes always good, even if said to be brought against terrorists?If those two could be accomplished, then it makes for a good combination of having sound values such as being against racism and various kinds of bigotry, but without being blinded by those same values, in a way that makes one open to being manipulated or otherwise unable to see things for what they are or aren't.
  5. Hello! You guys aren't providing much in the way of actionable information sadly, so it's actually hard to help you, beyond just referring you to my guide about blocked websites. AirVPN can't always be up to date on which service is supported or not, when the landscape is shifting constantly. Netflix was recently taken off of the supported list, seeing as so many people reported it as blocked, but that's rare.
  6. Hello! I recommend you contact Kepler. He may have a thing or two to say about this! Ahem, just a random feeling I got of course, I can't imagine why I thought of Kepler
  7. Hello! We can't tell you what you should do, as it depends on your own situation and what you feel you require . You can check my guide if you want links to resources regarding security and privacy as well.
  8. Hello! Have you tried 2.11.5? You can also try resetting your DNS, by setting it obtain it automatically, in the network adapters IPv4 area . I don't know what you mean by checking your firewall rules. Did you "reset windows firewall" ?
  9. Hello! Sire, thou may sayeth thy English is not good, but thy English skills would befit the Queen of England! Haha. In the client area, you need to put that 15441 number into the "Local port" box. Not into the big white box at the top. Just leave the top box empty. Then simply click add. After clicking add, AirVPN will automatically assign you an available port

    HBO GO

    Hello! Besides just torrenting... Couldn't you just make an Amazon account? You can still sign up for many of those things, even if you don't have the exact device they typically feature on.

    TPP and VPN

    Hello! As FtW said, TPP should be pretty dead thanks to Trump. Same goes for TTIP pretty much - although as I understand it, it's more "dead in the water" as opposed to actually dead. So maybe it'll get picked up later. It really depends on if Trump changes his position on these things at all. It's quite nice to see him enacting change before even taking office lol. In one stroke, he has already helped out half a dozen countries, before taking office. Pretty well done really.
  12. If you want Putin for your President, become a Russian citizen. He could also become an American citizen, if he isn't. It would be much the same Putin does a good job of marketing himself I think. He appears strong, intelligent and real - if you only watch RT.
  13. Hello! Did you try different servers?
  14. Hello! You can try follow the relevant guide in my signature; it would be nice with more information as well.
  15. Hello! It would be welcomed if you provided more information and/or followed the steps in the relevant guide, in my signature. We don't even know which server it is!
  16. Hello! I'm curious how you managed to get it installed on Linux and not know where the download is. Maybe I misunderstood something. As for issues, you should post some logs or we'll be operating in the dark .
  17. Hello! I use the Beta everyday and I can't distinguish between the Beta and the Stable version, in terms of stability. In other words, it's just fine. Besides, you can always roll back to the Stable. The university doesn't know what you're doing anyway, if you don't use SSL. With SSL it may just be harder to block you and to know that you're using a VPN.
  18. Hello! That's the ironic part of it isn't it. The same liberals who decry Trump on the basis of various human rights concerns, are the same people who would easily continue to be deceived under an Obama or Clinton administration; even in regards to violations of those very same rights that they're protesting about now. All because the likes of Clinton and co simply do a better job of hiding or downplaying their own repeated misdemeanors and acts of terrorism, just because they mostly occur abroad. If there's 1 good thing about a Trump presidency, it must surely be the chance that the US population finally wakes up and starts getting more interested in the Democratic process, by learning how to organise themselves and protest often. As opposed to now, where people are very atomised and split from each other. Then again, that's what Bernie tried to create.
  19. Hi nice to meet you. Some well-written posts . Clinton supporters are still protesting, so I'm tempted to think something must've worked. I mean, if your supporters are still campaigning after you ended your own campaign, then something must've been done right, haha. I remember prior to Nov 8 how it was questioned whether Trump would be able to accept the election result. The irony.
  20. I can see why you would like to be biased like so and I can respect that. But I don't think you should be decidedly "proud" of it, seeing as it's exactly those kinds of bias which lead to misunderstanding and a clouding of judgement. Judgement being pretty important, if you're at all interested in approaching any sort of truthful view towards reality. After all, isn't that one of the major reasons the Democrats lost? They assumed that as long as they kept talking about women's, LGBTQ, black and minorities rights, everything would be okay, because "who wouldn't support X, Y, Z principles like these?" They even went as far as assuming that because Hillary was a white woman and supported women's rights, white women in the US would also automatically support for her. They held onto this belief in a sort of "duhhh" no-brainer way. Yet apparently some 50% of white women voted for Trump. So this pride you have, is the same sort of pride that blinded people similar to you to reality: that you can't predict what people will vote on, just based on their demographics and your principles and that while those principles are important, they probably take a back seat anyhow, compared to the prospect of losing one's job. So as the saying goes "Pride goeth before a fall". Fall the Democrats did. Also, China for one isn't totalitarian. Your view is wrong - again, respectfully . It's authoritarian and you shouldn't mix these up. North Korea is what you'd call totalitarian, as the NK government has complete control over everything apparently. The Chinese does not. Chinese people are free to talk about whatever they want; especially in private. The Chinese government has created economic zones that enjoy special freedoms; such as Shanghai. Thus they're not controlled by the government. They're called Free Trade Zones. It's also possible for Chinese professors at universities to discuss various otherwise taboo social issues. Not to mention Chinese people can travel whenever they want, quit their jobs whenever they want, marry who they want and so forth. Your aforementioned bias comes back to bite you here, as I alluded to previously. You even go so far as to say that everyone living in China and Russia are unfortunate. Thus what started as an innocent bias, has then grown into a full-on misconception and that is dangerous in itself. But it's even more dangerous when politicians like HC give force to such biases, because you'll thus be more likely to believe in her. Ultimately, this could then lead to you feeling a war is justified, if one broke out. Because you'd think "well, China IS evil, so it makes sense we're fighting them". So I urge you to re-asses. I think Democracy is fine. But it has to be *real* and not fake. I like to use Switzerland as an example. They have a pretty sweet system of Direct Democracy. They even have guns. Yet without the murder rates of the US. All I'm saying is that you shouldn't assume Democracy, in any form, is automatically better than other forms of governance, such as the Chinese form. I doubt Democracy would've been suitable for China for instance, because when your country lay in virtual ruins, as China did in 1978, it would be quite problematic for government (and thus plans) to change every 4 or 8 years, like in the US. Instead, China enjoys a massive advantage: it can plan decades ahead and follow that plan stringently. If those plans are prudent and smart, the country will rapidly improve. Which is exactly what it has done. Also, I don't think China calls itself Communist. It's just they haven't changed the name of the Communist Party haha. I think the hypocrisy, with all due respect of course, is palpable. You actively "worry" about a militarily strong China and how it'll "seize the territory" of its neighbors, when that's exactly what the US has been doing for decades: Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya and slices of many countries around the world, in the form of military bases. Yet as previously stated, China hasn't been in a war for 30 years and yet, for some reason, you automatically think you know what the Chinese will do - presumably just because they're not Democratic. You say the Chinese will just kill anyone disagrees - that may be so. Yet that's also exactly what the US government has been doing abroad; didn't you notice the drone campaigns? I didn't mean to assign you to any camp. I meant to make a comparison of how it's possible, on both sides of the Atlantic, to assume that people who vote a certain way (such as Leave), are also automatically a certain kind of person (racist, bigot, etc.). You also conveniently ignored my last paragraph with the links to US crimes. Maybe you couldn't be bothered to say anything about it or maybe it left you speechless, I don't know. But I can't help but feel that you're really representing the Democrats very well: ignoring the real issues, in favor of talking about high-minded ideals such as Democracy and Women's rights. Which, while definitely important, cannot make up 90% of the argument, by neglecting practical realities . I think this is very important actually. Since if you think about it, what reasons does the US government traditionally use to justify war? "Freedom", "Democracy", "Human-rights". Then people who are less intelligent and aware than yourself, instantly do a volte-face from being against war and conflict to being fine with them. Because hey, it's for "freedom" and "women's rights" in those Middle-Eastern dictatorships, right? Yet the practical reality is completely ignored and brushed aside, because it's presumed that these "higher ideals" justify the means; even when they don't. It's the sort of mindset that makes people think that the destruction of civil society, like in Iraq, is acceptable, because now the women are "free" from the male patriarchy and state oppression. Even when it really just means starvation and even more severe kinds of abuse, such as those by all the crazies like ISIS or the Taliban now being let loose. So I urge you to consider both the practical realities and realities that the other side face too; whilst not forgetting your cherished beliefs in freedom, democracy and so on, of course. Just don't be fooled .
  21. Air works from within China. But it's slow. The Chinese government knows it shouldn't crack down on all outside communication, as many citizens and companies rely on access for things like business. Besides, it can be a tricky business given the scale of the operation I think . If they just block all forms of encryption, the internet breaks as well lol. Sent to you from me with datalove
  22. I heard CGPGrey suggest that the Electoral College could in fact deny Trump becoming president, if they all worked together. Has never happened and I'm not sure how it would. But imagine if Trump was suddenly thrown off of the throne lol. Sent to you from me with datalove
  23. Maybe he wouldn't be so desperately needed if the DNC and the media hadn't cheated Bernie haha. Sent to you from me with datalove
