I'm running pretty much default settings on the OpenVPN for Android app. Isn't that enough? The problem seems to have fixed itself with a restart. But it seems odd that ipleak listed Finland, but showed the organisation to be Swedish and in Sweden. I keep having issues with the VPN app though. Connections keep hanging and so I get "waiting for reply from server" and stuff in the logs like "write UDP []: Operation not permitted (code=1)" Thanks though! Sent with TBs of Datalove

Hello ! On ipleak it says I'm connected to server A, while this site shows I'm connected to server B. Why is this? Which one is correct? I am on mobile at the moment, so I don't have the Eddie server list available to choose from. I'm only running one device. None other are connected to my account. Thankyou!

Hello ! Thank you!

Hello ! Mistakes happen. But you can be sure that AirVPN is a good service still

Hello ! So I'm a relatively new member around here and it has been a great experience; besides my lack of technical insight making life a pain, lol. However I've taken to noticing that there's a fair few members whom contribute so much to the community. Ones like zhang888 and giganerd, just to name two. But while they might say they like helping others and they do, I kinda feel like it would be nice if they could get some perhaps more "official" recognition for their efforts. Because without ones like them, that Staff account would have way more than 6k posts by now, answering all the questions around here. Sure, you can give them a +1 and it adds to their account, but then what? To my knowledge, there's not even anything higher than the "Excellent" rating and even I, a completely useless newb, got to excellent. Because it starts at around 20 upvotes and that's just because people find me either hilarious or stupid as f***, enough to comfort me with an upvote lol and let's be honest, giganerd for instance has over 300 upvotes and is excellent, just like me: But I'm not even nearly as valuable to the community as him in any way. Hardly fair. So does AirVPN think it would be suitable with some kind of Member Hall Of Fame? This isn't to get myself into; it's for other people who, day in and day out answer questions with the patience of a saint and the knowledge of an AirVPN employee. I mean what they're doing, is essentially help promote AirVPNs mission: Because ultimately, you can have the best VPN in the universe, but it won't matter if people can't solve the technical bugs they run into. So just like AirVPN promotes and celebrates projects which help advance the "defence of net neutrality, privacy and against censorship.", why not people, too? :] Relying on peoples generous dispositions is fine, however it doesn't hurt to have a few minor incentives as well in my view. Sort of like how the referral program gives you 20% instead of something like "A pat on the back from AirVPN". Both are neat, but you know which one you'd rather have, incentive-wise. (I wouldn't pass up on some of that special "datalove" the Staff account keeps talking about though, mwaha). I think it would be a nice gesture from AirVPN to some of these members, regardless of if they, the members in question, think we all appreciate their work already or not. Thank you. Not to mention it would make me feel much more at ease from having spammed poor zhang with approx a billion questions, shhh.

Hello ! We understand, don't worry AirVPN! Much datalove to you! The new owner just blew his chances of helping out one of the best VPNs out there. His loss

Hello ! Go to your "Client Area", find your referral link and then spam all your friends with it and then you'll get 20% or something when they buy haha . You'll help them breathe the internet!

Hello ! Plus use spoiler tags for your logs. Check my signature.

Haha, thank you ! That was my first best answer lol. I'm glad I could be of some use around here. AirVPN is said to have an absolutely stellar reputation as far as VPNs go.

zhang888 was here.

Hello ! Despite the us' reputation, they don't require VPN providers to log I believe. AirVPN also upholds the same strict rules for all their servers, regardless of location. Because in short, if AirVPN didn't think they could maintain a server in location X that corresponds to their values and objectives, they simply wouldn't put a server there. Since AirVPN is a logless VPN, they pretty much don't have any logs to give, even IF they wanted to or were forced to, when a given entity requested it; but they don't comply with these things anyway. You can also check their new servers here and note how they all follow the same rules: https://airvpn.org/forum/9-news-and-announcement/ Look at that, not only do they have integrity, but they gave us datalove! Now how many people do you know who do that?! Haha! I'd say on technical terms it's as secure connecting to a server in your home country. However I think it's generally a good idea to connect to one outside your own country, if you can. The whole point of a VPN however, is to protect your traffic. AirVPN itself doesn't mind if you use p2p at all and your ISP can't see what you're doing anyway. Just make sure you've got no leaks of any kind, whether IP, DNS or WebRTC leaks. You can check this at www.ipleak.com and see. If you don't see any of your own addresses there, then it's likely no one else does either; including your ISP. Also, you can check out this thread: https://airvpn.org/topic/16774-anonymous-vpn-providers-2016-edition-tf/ There you can see the questions posed and what AirVPN specifically, answered to each of them. So you can see number 1, 4, 5 and 6 for instance. Look at number 1. That's better than porn man, lol. In short, AirVPN is superior to most other services I think, both in terms of sheer technical know-how, but also ethics. They recently disowned ICANN, a huge internet institution, because basically long-story short, they suck and AirVPN doesn't accept suckers, because in short, AirVPN is much like Chuck Norris: And if you know who he is, you know that one does not simply deny Chuck Norris lmao. So finally, since your ISP doesn't know what you're doing, since you're using a VPN, you should be very safe regardless of what you're doing; of course, keep it clean lol, no serious crime. Also, unless latency is a really big issue for you or otherwise critical, you can just let the AirVPN client, called Eddie, automatically connect you to the recommended server at the time. If you go to your settings, you can make AirVPN start automatically and to enable Network Lock automatically. This way, even if you forget, then all your traffic will still be routed through AirVPN; even if there's connection issues (normally called a kill switch). I always enable Network Lock at login. It's quite sweet. This way you're sure nothing leaks out of your VPN tunnel. Oh and P2P itself isn't illegal. It's just a way of doing things. It's *what* you download which can be illegal, haha. Not the protocols themselves. But don't worry. If you're just an occasional downloader, then it's fairly unlikely you'll get into trouble. I mean, there's people out there who make a lifestyle out of downloading lol. Just make sure you have a good Bittorent client, such as qBittorent and that its settings are ok. I hope this answers your questions. If not, wait until master zhang or lord giganerd arrive or any of the other disciples of AirVPN.

Hello ! Edit your post and use spoiler tags for your logs. Click my signature to see how.

Hello ! What zhang888 said. I've known about them for a long time. I consider them a barebones VPN for those who don't want to pay. So I suppose it's the you get what you pay for, principle.

Hello ! AirVPN is just legendary haha!

Hello ! You're not failing to exit AirVPN correctly by any chance are you? Such as by shutting down your PC before turning off the VPN in its own menus or putting your PC to sleep. This can cause connectivity issues. If it happens, go into task manager and turn off the AirVPN process entirely. Then reconnect. Just saying.

Hello ! I've checked many VPN providers and I used this: https://torrentfreak.com/vpn-anonymous-review-160220/ What do you think OP? AirVPN stood out because of their epic tech-speak haha. I didn't know that stuff about PureVPN so thanks. One question I have though: one of the providers in the above list (OVPN.se) mentions: How smart is this? Does it make sense? And should AirVPN do the same or doesn't it make sense? Thank you. But honestly, and I mean this honestly, if zhang888 is using a service that's pretty much the golden seal of approval lol, amirite?

Hello ! Indeed, AirVPN is extremely good. I love it. Thank you for your short and sweet review!

Hello ! You need one thing in your life and it's spoilers. No, no, not for your movies, but for your posts. Check my signature for how to do it: it'll help us help you, if you use a tag.

Convert a significant amount of your assets to Bitcoins, or invest into a commodity which you are best familiar with. Done. I'm starting to wonder if there's any problem zhang888 can't fix with either words, wrenches or a screwdriver!

Well, I think it must be like as Trump said: "My net worth fluctuates, and it goes up and down with markets and with attitudes and with feelings, even my own feeling," he told lawyers in the December 2007 deposition.

Hello ! Today, I finally realized how wrong I was about AirVPN. I think we should all change to DrumpfVPN immediately ! http://drumpfvpn.com/ DrumpfVPN Pros: All virtual immigrants will get kept out with a virtual WALL !No encryption. What do you have to hide, seriously? Privacy? This way, the government will have easy access to your data, at no extra cost.No need to remember the names of websites (Take THAT name-resolution servers! Thinking you're smart with resolving text into IPs and back, hmpf)Suppress Free Speech !Insult everyone (And unlike AirVPN, it won't just be "a lot of hot Air" either)DrumpfVPN Cons: Doesn't support Apple products "due to their stupid insistence on encryption." No apparent pricing structure. Why should such an AMAZING service be free? This isn't a European "Welfare" state! AirVPN Pros: Nice logo? Based in Italy, which means they must have such soothing and charming voices! Mama Mia! AirVPN Cons: Too much insistence on long words. I mean really, SHA1 HMAC? Isn't an HMAC a burger or something? Extreme encryption. Really, why make it so hard for the government to see what you're doing and thus waste tax payer money as it tries to find out? So unethical! Protects peoples digital and civil liberties. Clearly AirVPN is working with the terrorists! They're just too nice and professional. C'mon. I mean you don't even use google analytics on your website, why? Just why? Supports virtually every platform! How can you work with such people like Apple?! To speak nothing of the evil that we call Linux! Poor spelling, clearly. I mean how unprofessional is it, when you spell "YES" as "AES" ?! I expect better. Talking about strangers, through DHE. What if I don't care about Diffie and Hellman exchanging their car keys? You shouldn't bother the customer with this. They don't recognize ICANN. Which points to a VERY pessimistic outlook on life! What's the alternative? ICANNT maybe?So yeah, this is my review. AirVPN is clearly not compatible with FREEDOM! I mean really, who would place his computers in places like Canada? And what man, in his right mind, calls one of his UK computers Bellatrix?!

Indeed, but just imagine the irony of Icelandic servers succumbing to a coldboot attack. Incredible right? I've never heard AirVPN talk about protections against such attacks, while another VPN provider couldn't stress it enough; so they ran their servers in RAM or something. But still, coldboot attack on an Icelandic server would be pretty funny; if you have poor humor like me.

I wonder if you could run things in a VM and try to isolate the issue that way. It's probably hard though.

Well said. On the plus side, maybe if we had servers on Mars, Hulu would once again be available.
