Thank you for the clarification. They're usually always nice ^^. Don't you think you're exaggerating just a little bit, regarding a Democratic future being in jeopardy? Trump was elected on democratic grounds - or as democratic as it is in the us. I think you're biased towards Democracy and living on the assumption that Democracy is automatically the best or most desirable form of government. This is a big mistake in my view, but it's not unexpected. It's a little funny really, in that it seems that people who hold views similar to yours (respectfully), desire open-mindedness (no sexism, bigotry, racism, anti-abortion, etc.), yet instantly turn away anyone with a different mindset or approach. Say someone votes for Trump (or even that Brexit thing), it seems there's a tendency to reduce them to being racists and bigots (of course, some are). Similarly, those who don't subscribe to your notion of Democracy, are repressive fascist regimes. I wonder if you think this is wrong or not. Because the fact remains that both Russia and China have been doing pretty well for themselves. Especially China, in virtually all metrics besides internet-freedom and pollution(although this is improving). Yet you apparently don't care about this, as long as they're not Democratic. I think that's strange, respectfully. Because if you go to China, you may find that China is arguably more Capitalist and free in many ways, compared to the US. The Great Firewall does have some positive effects though: Since there's often a greater convenience in not bypassing the wall, Chinese consumers will often favor local companies. Which in turn means more jobs, as these companies then grow. This can then positively impact the economy and then later, the rest of the world, as giants like Alibaba and Tencent expand. Likewise, more Chinese people learn how to use VPNs (hehe). But in terms of being in an opinion bubble, how is that much different from being on Facebook or Google? The Chinese people I've met, have no illusions about their government. I think it's very easy to compare the us with China and/or Russia. I think you're sadly very very mistaken about the us. Again, respectfully speaking . Just because the us may be Democratic, it doesn't mean it's not capable of being an evil or bad country - yes, evil "on par" with whatever evil you can ascribe to China/Russia. There's plenty evidence that shows that the US actually hates any form of "Democracy"; especially outside its own borders. So perhaps you're right that the US can't be compared to China/Russia, except that the equation is reversed. You may think China is being aggressive with its territorial grabs in Asia, but did you consider why China is doing what it's doing? I think it would be too simplistic to resort to saying something along the lines of "well, because it's a fascist dictatorship". Even if it were a fascist dictatorship, that wouldn't help your Democracy argument, seeing as said dictatorship is currently outpacing the US very quickly in a number of ways. Perhaps especially with Trump at the helm now. Us Democracy is also quite questionable in many ways after all: Extremely low voter turn out, all manner of electoral quirks as each state votes differently, counts differently, has different rules and different methodologies. Through to things such as the Electoral College and the notion that a candidate can lose a vote, like HIllary did, despite getting most votes, to campaigns being funded through SuperPACS by rich companies and the list goes on. Not to mention that while there's technically multiple parties in play, in practice there's only 2 - which speaks to the illusion of choice that you also alluded to. To speak nothing of how us politics is dominated and how americans continually don't get what they want. So to call it a Democracy may in fact be a little insulting in the eyes of those countries whom arguably may have more robust systems . I can't see how you can justify calling China's "slave labor" system out, when it has clearly proven to have worked very well for the country and is thus increasingly being rolled back now; hence why China isn't the cheapest place to manufacture in anymore, Chinese tourists are some of the biggest spenders and the Chinese economy is the 2nd biggest in the world (number 1, if you go by PPP). Thus it's estimated around 600 million people have been taken out of extreme poverty. That's double the us population. It seems like you're not willing to accept that things cannot be *ideal* from the start. That you can't have humane working conditions instantly for example. They made sacrifices and it worked. It's the same story in the West - just look at coal miners for example. As for Russia, you should keep in mind which country often creates the problem to begin with. During days past, it was promised that the West wouldn't "take one step to the East" in the form of NATO. Yet what happened? Yep, steps right towards Russia. Hopefully you can also appreciate the Russian security point of view. I think HC would've exacerbated this situation tremendously. I can agree to jail for GW and co though . But since HC has so much free time now, perhaps we shouldn't forget our manners: Ladies first!

Haha you're welcome. No my guide is the first link from the top, in my signature. The one for new people and such.

Thank you Kepler. Sent to you from me with datalove

A lot of information can be gleaned from the logs and protocol areas. You can whitelist servers you prefer, as well as enable an option to reconnect to the same server, in the preferences menus. You can read about Network Lock in my guide if you wish:) Sent to you from me with datalove

We'll need your Eddie logs at the very least . You should try different servers too. Sent to you from me with datalove

Hello! Thanks, but I question the value of it, considering no one really knows what Trump will do. I mean, if you can be pro-abortion one day and be against it the next day, I'm sure your views on privacy and such can change pretty quick too lol.

@emaus78 Your English is fine man, no problems . @Kepler Even with a runaway technical breakthrough, nothing will change as long as you have a system that has vested interests against such change. For instance, there's nuclear technology based on a resource known as Thorium(LFTR - Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor) which has been lying around for 50 years. Thorium powered nuclear reactors are epic because: Passive safety. Due to the design, if something goes wrong, even if it's a power cut, the reactor will set itself into a safe configuration. Automatically. No humans needed. There's no high pressure. Thus a reactor meltdown is physically impossible. There's only high heat, which is fine in itself. Thorium can't be used in nuclear weapons, due to its chemistry. Thus the Iran nuclear deal wouldn't be a problem with a thorium reactor for instance. Thorium is literally everywhere on Earth and super plentiful. Unlike uranium or plutonium, which are precious. Pound for pound, thorium provides a massive amount of energy. Truly massive. You wouldn't need many reactors, to power the entire world. Due to there being no risk of a meltdown, you can build smaller reactor buildings. Which means it's faster and cheaper too. No 10 year lead times. Thorium reactors (called LFTR really, pronounced Lifter), can use the nuclear waste of *other* current-day reactors. So nuclear waste also won't be an issue. You never need to take out the Thorium from the core, so there's never any waste material and thus no nuclear exposure to anyone or anything.Yet despite all that, LFTR reactors are nowhere to be seen. China is supposedly building some now, but as you can see, when there's no political will, nothing happens. Nuclear energy also enjoys a pretty tainted image as well. I linked to the documentary - it's quite excellent IMO . It's basically nuclear power, without all the known drawbacks. So I frankly disagree with technical breakthroughs being necessary. As long as you have systems which favor things like privatization and/or de-regulation as in the neoliberal order, there's little incentive for this sort of thing. That's where I think Hillary wouldn't have made a difference . I also can't cut the us slack. I can cut individuals some slack, but not countries. Your story is only half of it or barely even. It points to an extremely rosey point of view. Just because the us did the bare minimum to help out its allies after WW2, doesn't mean it's excused for all the deliberate crimes it then went on to commit throughout the world; of which I think most people are ignorant of, despite the fact we live with the consequences of them today . I'm sure you wouldn't be so comfortable with being told you're living under a Chinese "military umbrella" - yet you're perfectly fine with saying it about the us. Which is unjustified. China for instance, hasn't been in a war for around 20-30 years now. While the us has been in near-continual war for the same period. Likewise Russia hasn't been the one to instigate most of wars in the Middle-East and only has around 2 military bases abroad, versus the several hundred of the us. Yet you still argue those countries are bad or worse and that Hillary would be best? I think that's very questionable . I honestly can't see how you would reason that China or Russia would be worse than the us. In a Cyber context, I think China is worse due to the censorship of its internet and such, but geo-politically? That's where a lot of the appeal lies with Donald Trump. Yes he's a bigot and all that. But the mere chance of doing things a different way, is attractive. Just look at what he has said about Russia and Putin. I think it's refreshing that he's willing to work with Putin, instead of the alternative: more hatred towards Russia, for no good reason really. In the end, while I agree with your view of Trump, it just doesn't work to respond with "that's racist! " or its equivalent, whenever people have real issues: unemployment, faltering economies, increasing levels of wealth inequality and so on. All compounded by all these "free trade" deals, which aren't about trade, but about everything except trade. Hillary would've continued this .

The consistency thing was more of a joke though, haha. Because as we know, he's very inconsistent. But while I agree with your description of him, I don't see how that would make him any worse than Hillary would've been, in terms of bullying/terrorising the rest of the world. Because sadly, fact is the us has been doing just that, ever since WW2 ended . It's just either swept under the rug or made to sound justifiable. Due to DTs inconsistency, I also don't think it's worth being afraid of him not working out differences with non-whites, because even he, as a Republican, has been quite Democratic in terms of his views, at some points. So his views aren't even iron-clad. As many have said, there may be a distinction to be had between campaign-DT and president-DT behaviour. I also do know that he denies climate change. He once said it was a Chinese plot, concocted to cripple american industry, due to the extra burdens of being environmentally friendly placed on them, haha. So while it's a tragedy he holds such views, at least other nations like China will continue to improve their respective environments. Even if, naturally, it may be slower now perhaps. It should be said Hillary was no angel even in this respect though. She actively supported fracking, which is lame. It's a shame nuclear power isn't supported more. As for rule of law, I still don't think Hillary would be a major change in that regard either. Where was rule of law when Iraq was invaded illegally for instance? Or millions spied upon? Sure he represents greed, but yet again, how is that any different from Hillary, who was found to receive speaker fees from Goldman Sachs and others? I think it all just comes down to whether you want your vices hidden or thrown in your face. If hidden, then Hillary is the way to go. If thrown in your face, then DT.

If it's true that he will bully the rest of the world, then that would simply mean he wasn't worse than Hillary though. I don't think it's clear cut who's the lesser evil. I think it hinges largely on where your interests lie. The us has after all, since WW2, been bullying/terrorising much of the world, under a host of different presidencies. With varying degrees of subtlety. So if he does bully others, if anything, he might at least be consistent with something, for once in this election cycle . Perhaps if he controls the CIA, he may accomplish the difficult objective of controlling the intelligence agencies. Perhaps if someone is clearly in control, we may at least finally have some level of accountability for whatever actions are carried out, as the president is a public figure. I'm not counting on it though haha. Sent to you from me with datalove

No offense, but what is it with you and insulting people? This is not the first, nor even the second time you went far out of your way to insult someone. This is not the place to start arguments. And you are better than this. It's very simple, I have a very low tolerance for people saying stupid things....like "I rather have a "facist"". Fascism is deadly dangerous....ask the Germans.I can accept such a low tolerance, yet that doesn't make impoliteness anymore acceptable. If someone isn't able to exchange ideas and opinions on a forum without being unnecessarily rude, then that person really shouldn't be on the forum. It's counter productive and that in itself is perhaps even more stupid. We can give this one a miss. You wrote a good post just now, regarding the Electoral College, so thanks for that . I've often felt that one of the great weaknesses and sometimes strength of the us, lies in how each state does things differently. It'll be interesting to see what comes. While fascism isn't desirable, neither is the neoliberalist period we've been going through, which even the IMF has said is fading. Sent to you from me with datalove

Hello! That's precisely what the guide in my signature is for haha Welcome to AirVPN!

Hello! Maybe this will help a little.

Hello! Did the protocols you tried, include TCP 443 (SSL/SHH)?

Hello! Just curious what the community thinks of the candidates and the future president, Clinton. Good? Bad? Beyond words? From a cyber point of view, it looks like it's going to be horrible either way for VPN users and such. I wonder if Air would withdraw all their us servers if Trump won lol. EDIT: Fun times ahead guys, hahahah.

FYI, we need the entire log, so we can see the entire progression of events. Please use spoiler tags too

Hello! Air does the equivalent of using DMCA takedown requests as toilet paper. Except they're so useless that they can't even serve this function, so Air just ignores them entirely. Air doesn't log and it fully allows P2P - so torrent to your hearts content. Further, Air is based in Italy, which perhaps somewhat helps to protect it against the worst of the worst of the copyright cartels. It should also be fine to open a new account, no worries. I suggest you take a look at my guide, in the "community threads of interest" section, as I cover Airs views about logging, which they've posted about many times. I kind of find your logs and ports question a little confusing. I mean, Air has to know which account is associated with what request/port in a sense. But that doesn't automatically mean they know what you're doing, when you did it, who you are and would hand it over to anyone when asked - if even able to.

You're most welcome. Welcome to AirVPN

So by the sound of it, your real IP Is showing. Provided you're using the Eddie client, try turn on Network Lock.

Hello! You can check my signature. You're amongst the elite few who post their logs the first time and post them in spoiler tags too! You hereby get 1 giant star.

Hello! If you check the Beta feedback thread you'll find you're not the only one

Hello! Welcome to AirVPN ! You can try: Turning off IPv6 in your system. Upgrading to the experimental/beta Eddie client. Trying different servers and/or protocols. Restarting the TAP driver: Control Panel>Network & Internet>Network Connections>Disable and then re-enable the TAP driver. Sometimes works. Then make sure no firewall/anti-virus software might be blocking AirVPN.exe or OpenVPN.exe. The Beta Client handles such 3rd party security software better. For instruction, my signature is at your service.

Hello! They have a pretty sexy website haha. I wonder if they're using VPS', as their job section speaks of adding a Linux admin who can set up servers. They also offer up insecure protocols like PPTP. Strange that they say they have 4 server locations, yet they also display much more than 4 flags - perhaps 4 locations from which they fake the remaining servers lol? They also do IPv6, ooooo. Apparently they're based in Sweden, so that's not the worst xD.

Hello! We'll need some logs from you . You can always experiment with different servers and protocols too. In spoilers, ideally.

Hello! I don't think that's in the cards at the moment. But there's nothing stopping you from using Tor or Network Lock right now.

Hello! If news media were really about informing people....... They'd hardly be news media now would they Besides, it would be a little unfair if those listed VPNs didn't get into the top 5 now that they've paid the entrance fee
