Hello! Your Eddie version is several years old (thanks for having picked AirVPN since a long ago!) and is causing the problem. Please upgrade Eddie and the problem should get resolved. You can download Eddie latest stable release (currently 2.18.9) for Windows here: https://airvpn.org/windows Kind regards

This version contains some bug fixes (in Windows and some OS X and macOS versions) we discovered after 2.18.9 stable version had been released. You don't need to download it if you don't have any issue with the latest stable release. Version 2.19.0 (Tue, 07 Apr 2020 13:11:42 +0000) [bugfix] - Windows, Custom DNS [change] - Windows, DNS, switch only UP network adapter [bugfix] - MacOS, fix PKG package (relocation disabled) [bugfix] - MacOS, fix signature issue with older Yosemite

Hello! We're very glad to inform you that a new Eddie Air client version has been released: 2.19beta. It is ready for public beta testing. How to test our experimental release: Go to download page of your OS Click on Other versions Click on Experimental Look at the changelog if you wish Download and install Please see the changelog: https://eddie.website/changelog/?software=client&format=html PLEASE CONSIDER THIS AS A BETA VERSION. Don't use it for real connection, it's only for those who want to collaborate to the project as beta-tester.

@Maddog77 Hello! Can you tell us your Linux distribution name and exact version? Both OpenVPN and curl appear old. Please upgrade OpenVPN and curl, or consider to upgrade the distribution itself, and the problem should be solved. In reality, if you don't need tls-crypt and IPv6, you can still run OpenVPN 2.3.10. However curl needs an update as your version (which is invoked by Eddie) seems unable to support the latest TLS requirements by our servers. Alternatively you can avoid to use Eddie and run OpenVPN directly, but you will lose all the additional features Eddie is packed with. Hummingbird (another free and open source software by AirVPN) might or might not be a viable option, it depends on how old glibc and other libraries are in your system. One of the oldest Linux distributions that can run Hummingbird is Debian 9, which features really archaic and obsolete software & kernel, in line with Debian philosophy, so it's possible that your distribution can run it too. Kind regards

@Berlingo Hello! Can you please check your Eddie version? If it's older than 2.18.9 please upgrade and test again. You can download Eddie latest stable release (currently 2.18.9) for Windows here: https://airvpn.org/windows You can download Eddie latest stable release (currently 2.18.9) for Linux here: https://airvpn.org/linux You can download Eddie latest stable release (currently 2.18.9) for Mac here: https://airvpn.org/macos Kind regards

@Genje Hello! Does the port exist in your system, i.e. does the listening service listen to the correct interface and correct port (it must not bind to the physical network interface)? What is the software that must receive the forwarded packets? Kind regards

Hello and thank you for your choice! Your Eddie version is very old. Please upgrade Eddie and the problem should be resolved. You can download Eddie latest stable release for Windows here: https://airvpn.org/windows You can download Eddie latest stable release for Linux here: https://airvpn.org/linux You can download Eddie latest stable release for Mac here: https://airvpn.org/macos Kind regards

Hello! You can't remotely forward inbound ports under 2048 in our service. Port 1122 is not, and has never been, forwarded to your node. Please also note that port 1122 is not even a "remapped" destination port for your client. Thus, perhaps, all the problems are caused by a single, trivial error, i.e. a wrong port number assumption. Kind regards

Released as stable here . Any pending issue (please remind us below) will be addressed in the next beta 2.19,

Hello! OK. You can't do that with your setup as you would end up with conflicting/overwriting routes and gateway. Windows does not support multiple routing tables anyway, so it's worth to consider an alternative solution. As a first consideration, the following setup should meet your needs: create a VM and attach it to the host via NAT connect the host (using Eddie for example, or OpenVPN with an AirVPN profile) to some AirVPN server when the connection from the host to AirVPN is established, connect your guest VM to your own VPN server via OpenVPN and your own OpenVPN profile Traffic from the VM will reach your VPN server through the AirVPN server the host is connected to. Kind regards

Hello! We're very glad to inform you that a new stable release of Eddie is now available for Linux, Mac and Windows. Eddie is a free and open source (GPLv3) OpenVPN GUI and CLI by AirVPN with many additional features such as: traffic leaks prevention via packet filtering rules DNS handling optional connections over Tor or a generic proxy customizable events traffic splitting on a destination IP address or host name basis complete and swift integration with AirVPN infrastructure Eddie 2.18.9 has been extensively rewritten to increase speed, stability, security and compatibility with the latest OS versions. It is the outcome of a massive work which took care to meet very many requests from our community and got rid of some issues affecting Eddie previous stable release when running in latest OS releases. Eddie GUI and CLI now run with normal user privileges, while only a "backend" binary, which communicates with the user interface with authentication, gains root/administrator privileges, with important security safeguards in place: stricter parsing is enforced before passing a profile to OpenVPN in order to block insecure OpenVPN directives external system binaries which need superuser privileges (examples: openvpn, iptables) will not be launched if they do not belong to a superuser Eddie events are no more run with superuser privileges: instead of trusting blindly user's responsibility and care when dealing with events, now the user is required to explicitly operate to run something with high privileges, if necessary Backend binary has been completely rewritten in C++ on all systems (Windows included), making the whole application faster. On top of that various optimizations have been implemented. Now Eddie provides you with higher responsiveness and an improved overall feel and comfort. CLI version has been improved as well, featuring numerous glitch and bug fixes. Compatibility for macOS Catalina and latest Linux distributions, including DNS handling, has been enhanced. Settings, certificates and keys of your account stored on your mass storage can optionally be encrypted on all systems either with a Master Password or a system key-chain if available. For Windows systems, wintun support has been added. You can now, if you wish so, replace the driver for OpenVPN virtual network interface with the new wintun for higher throughput (OpenVPN 2.5 tech preview required). In Linux and Mac systems, Eddie can also launch Hummingbird, which is very fast and is based on OpenVPN3-AirVPN library, replacing OpenVPN 2.x. In this way you can have at once a GUI for Hummingbird (which lacks it), the usual great amount of features and options Eddie is packed with, and faster connections/disconnections, as OpenVPN3-AirVPN is exceptionally faster than OpenVPN 2 during connection and disconnection phases. Eddie 2.18.9 can be downloaded here: https://airvpn.org/linux - Linux version https://airvpn.org/macos - Mac version https://airvpn.org/windows - Windows version Eddie 2.18.9 is free and open source software released under GPLv3. Source code is available on GitHub: https://github.com/AirVPN/Eddie Eddie 2.18 changelog shows you the massive work behind it and all those implemented changes that remained necessarily not mentioned in this announcement. Complete changelog can be found here.

@juancarlos101 Hello! Please allow at least one hour and a half during the current period to receive an answer from the support team, thank you for your patience. To everybody: we expect that the average response time to tickets will be even higher in the near future, so don't get upset if you need to wait 2-3 hours, thank you for your understanding. Kind regards

@airvpn@ignlg.com Hello and thank you! The logging you mention is correct, Hummingbird writes to stdout everything coming from OpenVPN3-AirVPN library by design, which could be changed in the future but at the moment we're fine with that, as it appears rational to write to stdout connection errors etc. from the library and not errors related to Hummingbird in itself. The logic behind it is that any connection or packet error is related to line etc. and not to the binary operation, so it is reasonable that all the OpenVPN3-AirVPN library responses pertaining to connections and packet operations go to stdout. "No ALTQ support in kernel" error might be caused by a macOS version older than Catalina, can you tell us your exact macOS version? Connection errors in paragraph 2 suggest that UDP and/or OpenVPN are blocked, does the same happen if you try a connection in TCP to entry-IP address THREE? Kind regards
