  1. Hello! It's an open secret that big companies are in collusion with each other. It's one of the primary causes of the many kinds of misery we have on this planet. So long as there's more to gain by offering less, few or no choices to people, regardless of the industry, I doubt much will change. As with most issues of this caliber however, it comes down to how long we're all collectively willing to accept it. Sent to you from me with datalove
  2. Hello! Normally you get the "still running" error, if the process called openvpn.exe is still running, when you try to re-launch Eddie. So remember to quit both. It's especially important to quit Eddie via its own menus. However I think this issue has been addressed in the latest beta release 2.11.3, with an option called "single instance" or such. I can't say if the Staff have addressed the issue themselves or not, but they're often very quick to do so, if a large number of people are having the same issue; yet fringe cases, perhaps like yours, aren't always possible for the Air team to reproduce and so they might not have much input .

  3. It should be faster. Especially given AirVPNs infrastructure. Do you get such low speeds when you use the stable release as well? Sent to you from me with datalove
  4. Hello! Do you have some logs to provide? Sent to you from me with datalove

    Torrent sites you use

    Hello ! I quite like extratorrent. But you go where you can find stuff, eh. @FromtheWalls What a surprisingly "off the wall" comment; considering your username lol. Sent to you from me with datalove

    Tor or not Tor

    Hello ! OP the truth is that we're all being watched by someone or something and increasingly so. No software is perfect either, regardless of if it's Tor or VPN software. But confining yourself to not using certain technologies, unless proven to be unsafe (such as the PPTP protocol), doesn't help you much necessarily. This is why we collectively have to fight for our rights, in each of our respective countries. If your argument for not using Tor is that you might get targeted more, then you might as well stop going online in a sense. If the same argument is made (and it has been) for VPNs, will you stop using them too? Also, I don't think you're paranoid. Being a concerned and aware citizen is not being paranoid; that's simply what people in high places would like you to believe, in order to marginalise your opinion. Furthermore, if there's a time to be paranoid for a good reason, these must surely be the times. Air Staff always recommend a partition of trust. Using a VPN + Tor. This helps defeat malicious Tor nodes too. But it depends on what you're trying to achieve. By the way, I should add that at least the Tor browser is hardened; especially compared to a normal browser. So if they're going to compromise you or anyone, you might as well make 'em work for it[emoji6] Sent to you from me with datalove
  7. Hello! I don't know which client you're using, but you could try increasing the send and receive buffer sizes . You can check my guide for a list of troubleshooting steps too. You should also check out which TAP drivers you're running and see if you need to upgrade; try the sticky threads in the troubleshooting forum. Sent to you from me with datalove

    The best

    Heeeey, leeches have long been known to have many beneficial medicinal effects and we must make people feel welcome
  9. Hello ! How did you "quit" AirVPN? Did you click "Exit" in the menus or did you just shut down your computer? The Eddie client has had issues with handling things sometimes, if it's not shut down correctly. You can try going to your network connection settings, going to IPv4 and setting both the IPv4 and DNS fields to "Obtain Automatically" and then click "ok", on all adapters.

    The best

    Hello ! That's quite a few fairly cancerous ones you've been through, haha. I'm glad you've finally arrived . Thank you for the compliment as well. Please feel free to ask me and/or the community if anything else comes up. So welcome to AirVPN! I don't think you'll regret that extra year at all. Enjoy. Sent to you from me with datalove
  11. Hello ! You can try disable UPnP. On the other hand, we can't help you much if you choose to use horrible software Sent to you from me with datalove
  12. Hello ! Feel free to check out the guide in my signature, if you haven't already. It can answer many of your questions. Welcome to AirVPN Sent to you from me with datalove
  13. Hello ! You should try to deactivate network lock via the button and when you close Eddie, you should do so via its own menus by clicking exit. If not, you might get an error, wherein settings aren't restored. It sounds like settings weren't restored in your case, so try go to your internet settings and set IPv4 and DNS to "obtain automatically" Sent to you from me with datalove
  14. Hello ! That's why there's so many guides, in order to try to preemptively answer the most common questions. However even the best software will fail if the user is simply stupid. You're lucky you got a like from the Staff apparently . Sent to you from me with datalove

    EFF & FSF Support?

    I suggest you kindly make your own thread then, as we can't have multiple ones in one thread. Technically each should have their own. But thanks. . Sent to you from me with datalove
  16. Hello! Have you tried using the portable version of the AirVPN client? Sent to you from me with datalove
  17. Hello ! Please check my guide in my signature. Otherwise found in the how to forum. Did someone else install it for you initially? Because otherwise it's just like when you did it the first time. You should definitely not visit and download from the pirate bay or other torrent sites, without a VPN. AirVPN is likewise 100% okay with torrenting/P2P; which doesn't go for all VPNs. You might also benefit from checking the stickied threads in the troubleshooting forum, if win10 gives you issues.
  18. I don't think it's reasonable to say they're the only provider who works with Netflix. Even Air works, it's perhaps just a little more touch and go. I'm inclined to imagine it's more luck than anything, that they work, seeing as it can't possibly be a lack of knowledge on Airs part. Sent to you from me with datalove
  19. Hello ! This is because geographic proximity doesn't guarantee greater speed, since your ISP might have better connections and/or deals with ISPs located in other countries. It's not because Air purposely makes some servers higher quality than others. But as is common with networking, there's many potential factors Sent to you from me with datalove

    Linux TCP Flaw

    Hello ! You can be sure that if it's a security related problem, Air has got you covered lol. That's one of the reasons it's one of the best VPNs. Sent to you from me with datalove
  21. You've been posting a lot. I recommend that you try to keep your posts confined to one thread, insofar as this is possible. It makes it easier and more manageable for everyone; including yourself. I think your problem might be that your version of OpenVPN is outdated. There are newer TAP drivers available, besides the one you mentioned. If you try out the Beta version of Eddie, you'll automatically get the newest one. Otherwise please go to around page 3, in the stickied thread about TAP drivers, in the troubleshooting forum and read what giganerd said. Without logs we're pretty blind as to what the problem is. You could perhaps just wait until the problem occurs again though and get the logs then. You'll also have to be specific as to what number is "stuck". If it's in the DNS field for instance and mentions 10.4 whatever, it might be Airs. I previously told you to simply make sure that all adapters, both IPv4 and DNS fields, were set to obtain automatically and then click ok. (if you were having issues, as it can sometimes solve them). Constant re-installs will not automatically help you find out what the problem is. For that, we do need logs. Also, as an aside, make sure you don't have any anti-virus software messing with Air software, as you did recently make a thread about such software. You can try to look for exceptions lists in that software and see if you can add Eddie and openvpn.exe to it. Finally, you can either try out different protocols in the Eddie protocol tab or make sure your firewall is working fine too, by resetting it. Lastly, you're also welcome to ask AirVPN support, if you haven't already. But they'll need more information about the issue, just like us. Sent to you from me with datalove
  22. Hello ! Perhaps the easiest thing for you, would be a re-install of your OS, as you seem to have many issues and perhaps programs which interfere with Eddie. I think it's of questionable value to provide Eddie logs and then uninstall Eddie, however. Sent to you from me with datalove
  23. To reply quickly, I recommend you check out my guide, in my signature. Otherwise found in the how to forum. It'll be more detailed than I can be here, at the moment. Includes troubleshooting steps . Sent to you from me with datalove
  24. Simply go to the place you first downloaded the client and look for something mentioning "Other version" or something to that effect. Then download the experimental version Sent to you from me with datalove
  25. Hello ! If you're on windows then yes download the windows version. The installer comes with everything you need. Unless you're being blocked or want to hide that you're using a VPN, SSH and SSL aren't necessary. Just stick to UDP or TCP. It's an automatic setting, so there's no need to change anything. In the IPv4 properties area, check that both IPv4 and the DNS fields have "Obtain xx automatically" checked. You can disable IPv6 as well, as it's not recommend that you use it. After downloading, you might also want to change your TAP drivers; simply check out the stickied threads in the troubleshooting forum. If there's anything else, please provide logs, from the logs tab, in the Eddie client, thank you. Also, Eddie already does things like flushing the DNS. Sent to you from me with datalove
