  1. The inconsistencies of EU policies were the reason most peope in the UK voted to get out of it. I don't want to open up that debate (is done and dusted anyway) but all this is a good example of a single EU member state legislating on such a fundamental citizen rights issue with what appears to be a total disregard to what the EU stance is or might be.
  2. Yeah, same experience here. I keep going back to Eddie when new releases come around or the mood takes me and I tried it again a few days ago. Using Wireguard I got the same drop outs but with Openvpn it is still connected after three days now on both an S9 tablet and an S22 mobile, both Android 14. After figuring out a tasker profile to monitor Eddie's notification entry, which just altered a widget on screen, I then thought I'd try ways of restarting it if it dissapeard. Using Autoinput was my first thought but that is messy and not a reliable option in this instance. So I thought of intents which I have messed with but only by copying what others had done; never come up with my own stuff. I found out you can generate a package manifest using Android Studio which contains some or all of the intents the package listens for so am going to try that and see what it comes up with and then try some things. I'll post with updates if there are any!
  3. Hi, recently I have found Eddie to be very stable on my Android devices using OpenVPN, not so much using Wireguard. For a while I've been using Tasker and the Autonotification add on to monitor whether Eddie was still running and alert me as such so that I could manually reconnect. I've recently been messing with intents in Tasker and learning Java (not a requirement but I was a programmer and is fun to me to learn such things) - this is a long learning curve for me since I'm not able to quickly learn stuff anymore. but I'll get there sometime. I was wondering if anyone had used intents to restart Eddie (log back in, reconnect to a server, whatever) and where to find out what intents are required to instruct Eddie to do things. I used to root my devices but not anymore since I can get to do whatever I want to using adb if I need to.
  4. Wow. This sounds like right out of Orwell's 1984! Does this not infringe upon any EU citizens rights laws or whatever? Which baffoon in the Italian government thought this one up and will the Italian people not react to this or isn't it a big deal?

    No technical stuff from me else I would be typing all night and day. Is enough to say from day one I have been mightily impressed with AirVPN the product, the staff, and the forum. On the few occasions I have looked up and or emailed a few other companies and asked questions they have always fallen short in one way or usually many more ways. Why other VPN providers get much business is beyond me.😍
  6. I have not yet switched my ISP to Sky (UK) but will be soon. I can however use their SkyGo software but unless I add the above domains to be outside the tunnel then firstly I cannot sign in (You don't have permission to access "http://skyid.sky.com/AK_PM_VPATH0/" on this server) and secondly after I can sign in nothing will play. I have only tried this tonight and can probably get around it one way or another but the sites seem blocked using UK servers. I have no need to use non UK servers normally but can of course. Why should I though? All works fine on all devices without AirVPN running. I have no interest in any other VPN software.
  7. Oh no....that is reserved to/for government officials and corporate rats only. Covid-19 does not apply to them apparently. God forbid we apply the rules to Prime Ministers and such 😳
  8. Glad to hear you are able to get on with things and be safe and well. It is safer here to nip off out and to still be out without having to come across anyone much so being remote is not so bad and we can of course do shopping locally pretty much in the same way as before. Another plus for me as far as I am concerned is that I have no children to cope with at home but I do miss being able to see my 88 year old Mother as yet. She also lives in a small village but has plenty of local help and doesn't complain - it is what it is and far too many complain. This is understandable since many difficulties and sacrifices have had to be made by many. At least us two can cope better than most I guess. Still love the clear roads 🤩 but I am breaking the rules a bit 😛, Sorry about that but I meet no one and pay for fuel at the pump and wear a diving suit and aqualungs. That last bit is a lie 🙄
  9. Of course for many the effects of the Covid-19 virus are extremely bad especially for those who have lost their lives and their families and friends. My heart and prayers reach out to those affected in such a way. For me, the previous lockdown measures and the repeat ones now in place haven't really changed how I live - my home is in a very remote part of England and I am disabled so I didn't go out much into populated areas anyway and shopping habits didn't have to change. However, my partner (of many years) and I do not live together and she lives 30 miles away, so we hadn't seen much of each other for much of 2020 until she was diagnosed with lung cancer. I am leaving out a massive amount of stuff but my main point here is that although I have been able to spend a lot of time at her place in the past few months things have now changed again of course. I have masses of stuff to transfer back to my home and couldn't do it quick enough before the more restrictive measures came into place. However, the motorways and road traffic in general means it is so easy to travel - whoopie lol. I still have a few trips to make but is like Heaven doing the driving bit!
  10. Bitwarden has all the best bits of any password manager I've ever tried - my pennies worth.
  11. and by quite a lot as we can see, great stuff. I can only add my best wishes to all Air staff and users, families, friends. Please stay safe and healthy and well done to AirVPN for maintaining a such a competant and sturdy company infrastructure. God Bless all.
  12. www.premierplayer.tv You can access the site but nothing will stream, live or not. I have an account with Premier but to watch it in the UK thru Air I have to use a non UK server. I have tried adding the various ip addresses and routes to try and bypass it all but with no success. I like my NASCAR see
  13. You guys are simply the best
  14. Have you never paid for anything using bitcoin before or understand how bitcoin payments work? The transaction can take hours or it can take five minutes, it depends on lots of stuff but usually less than an hour to confirm and and take place using bitcoin. Once the transaction has started it makes no difference what web page or site you go to, the transfer will still continue on its merry way. Usually, if you use something like Coinbase, you can find a way to continually update you on the progress of the transaction as in the amount of confirmations that have occurred. Six confirmations are usually enough. What you MUST know is the EXACT bitcoin address you are sending your bitcoin to, otherwise they are gone forever. You should recieve emails as to when transactions are sent and recieved from both parties. Oh and I don't know what the bitcoin wallet address is you posted but it won't help anyone nice very much so best not to give it out.
  15. I had this same problem with OpenVPN for Android (which is why I'm trying Eddie for Android): https://github.com/schwabe/ics-openvpn/issues/851 But, I just thought I'd post here to see if you can track down the problem. I've been using OpenVPN For Android for a few years without any issues on all sorts of devices since the S4, the latest being a TAB 6 and S8+ both using Oreo. I can't see how it is an Android or Google problem? Edited: I did it again I wrote 'an Air or Google problem' originally . Never mind
  16. I have no idea about pfsense, however I do know that slsk uses the port number you specify +1 as an obfuscated port and like all ports will only show as open if it is being used so do not worry about that. As long as it is specified in your port forwarding list and your main port comes up as open then all should be fine. @AtariSoul - Forget about the soulseek server port, you do not need to worry about that at all.
  17. That's it then, my original question has no answer?
  18. Hello! From your description you might need the traffic of those applications OUTSIDE the VPN tunnel, so you should black list, and not white list, them. If you choose to filter according to a white list, applications in the white list will be the only ones whose traffic is tunneled.If you choose to filter according to a black list, all applications will have their traffic tunneled except those ones which are included in the black list. Kind regards Yes, not quite sure why I wrote 'Whitelist'! I have them blacklisted but have tried whitelisting all but them too which I would not normally do! Sorry about that.
  19. I use OpenVPN For Android since it allows me to use the two apps I probably use more than any others whereas when I use Android Eddie I cannot get them to work at all. The applications use my normal/simple home network to wirelessly connect to and control audio devices. The apps are "Naim" and "Cambridge Connect". Whitelisting makes no difference.
  20. I get this lots connecting to recommended server. Go to server list, refresh and pick one.
  21. Almost every time I go to shut down or restart Linux Mint 18.3 the Eddie Window is unresponsive; I can display it but I am unable to click anything on it. Initially I just shut the system down regardless but if I don't want to sign out I have to shut down all *vpn processes manually, usually with htop cos its quicker. Just what might the issue be? It isn't new, I've had this happen for a long time, just not as often.
