@Pwbkkee Hello! After extensive debugging we noticed that Bluetit does not crash, but WireGuard does. Please note that in your setup the following option on the bluetit.service file you created: ProtectKernelModules=true prevents Bluetit from loading firewall and WireGuard kernel modules, which are needed respectively for Network Lock and WireGuard proper functioning. The following one: RestrictNamespaces=true prevents traffic splitting. The absence of ConfigurationDirectoryMode= with ConfigurationDirectory=airvpn implies a change of permission in /etc/airvpn (by default 660) with subsequent security problems that must be seriously considered, otherwise the unit can not work in general. Running Goldcrest as a service must also be carefully considered and whenever possible Goldcrest should work as it was designed for, i.e. as a client, with the asynchronous mode in your case. Goldcrest keeps all the standard streams (stdin, stdout and stderr, including TTY access) open, whereas Bluetit does not, as it is a real daemon, not a systemd service, which is only a pale daemon surrogate if you want to be kind, or a fake if you want to call a spade a spade. Therefore running Goldcrest with root privileges by systemd is another security flaw that must be pondered. Other directives could introduce additional problems, but we haven't investigated deeply all of them, we just want to point you toward the main problems and explain the issue you experience. The whole setup introduces instability, causes WireGuard and OpenVPN3-AirVPN library to crash, lowers security and prevents important Bluetit features including Network Lock, so proceed only if you know exactly what you're doing and always consider the instability that you cause especially on WireGuard and OpenVPN library. Kind regards

Hello! After the hardware replacement the server is apparently working very well. Should you find any anomaly do not hesitate to warn us and/or update this thread. Kind regards

@name8828 Hello! Please read here: https://airvpn.org/faq/port_forwarding We kindly invite you and everyone to read manuals and FAQ answers before posting. Kind regards

Hello! The problem has been finally isolated. From the provider customer service, just a few hours ago: "We have located the issue with the cabling, and have asked to [...] swap cables and ports around. This will correct the issue. [...] We expect this work to be completed within 24hrs". Kind regards

Hello! Sulafat is now up. The problem was that some of its IP addresses remained null-routed after a flood attack. Kind regards

Thank you, under investigation. screen or any other multiplexer is unnecessary thanks to the async mode (option --async). We will keep you posted. Kind regards

@Pwbkkee Hello and thank you for your tests! Please post at your convenience the complete Bluetit log to let us investigate. Suite components are designed after a client-daemon architecture, where Bluetit is a real daemon (not a generic service, a real daemon) and Goldcrest is a client. Your setup is odd and poses a few problems, since you turn a client into a service and you try to have a service-service arch. What is it that you can't do with current architecture that forces you into this sort of aberration? For example, in your case if you want Bluetit to connect by itself you don't need an auxiliary service, you can do it through the run control directives in bluetit.rc file and you would have a connection as soon as Bluetit comes up, instead of being forced to wait for yet another service to come up. Kind regards

Hello! Yes, a problem with the network interface arose, we're sorry. We are bringing the server down. We will work with the datacenter technicians to resolve the issue. Kind regards

Hello! We're very glad to inform you that a new 10 Gbit/s full duplex server located in Toronto (Ontario, Canada), is available: Kornephoros. The AirVPN client will show automatically the new server; if you use any other OpenVPN or WireGuard client you can generate all the files to access it through our configuration/certificates/key generator (menu "Client Area"->"Config generator"). The server accepts connections on ports 53, 80, 443, 1194, 2018 UDP and TCP for OpenVPN and ports 1637, 47107 and 51820 UDP for WireGuard. Kornephoros supports OpenVPN over SSL and OpenVPN over SSH, TLS 1.3, OpenVPN tls-crypt and WireGuard. Full IPv6 support is included as well. As usual no traffic limits, no logs, no discrimination on protocols and hardened security against various attacks with separate entry and exit-IP addresses. You can check the status as usual in our real time servers monitor . Do not hesitate to contact us for any information or issue. Kind regards & datalove AirVPN Staff

Hello! Thanks, this is a matter for GlueTun developer, we would recommend that you contact him and explain the problem. Please note that in the compose file you set a variable with the = char, not with : . Kind regards

Hello! When VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER is set to airvpn the optional environment variables deciding the end point are: SERVER_COUNTRIES: Comma separated list of countries SERVER_REGIONS: Comma separated list of regions SERVER_CITIES: Comma separated list of cities SERVER_NAMES: Comma separated list of server names SERVER_HOSTNAMES: Comma separated list of server hostnames https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun-wiki/blob/main/setup/providers/airvpn.md If you feel that this is a bug or unexpected behavior (we see your point: WIREGUARD_ENDPOINT_IP should not be ignored when a non-generic VPN provider is selected, as it apparently happens in your case), the matter should be reported to GlueTun's developer. Please keep in mind that GlueTun is fully compatible and well integrated with AirVPN but it is not developed by AirVPN so every issue should be reported properly also here: https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun-wiki/issues Kind regards

Hello! Your setup is fine and we can reach your listening software through the port that you remotely forwarded. If you need more ports please make sure to pick a free port (the proper tools on the bottom of your AirVPN account port panel will let you find free ports) or just let the system pick a free one for you by leaving the "Port number" field blank and clicking the '+' button. Kind regards

Hello! Thank you! No reason apart from obsolescence of the announcement. Build is anyway for M1. Kind regards

I am also interested in this, but I didn't get it working. Could you please provide more details on how to set it up? A few snippets for the Powershell would be very helpful. Allowing DHCP traffic out, seems to be an default rule with Windows 10. Hello! Something like this will do the trick, starting from a clean status and Windows Firewall enabled. Make sure you operate from a Powershell with administrator privileges. The rules will survive at reboot. You must adjust your local network address/netmask (change 192.168.0.0/16 and fe80::/10 if necessary). Do not proceed if you don't understand exactly every single command; instead, get documented first. netsh advfirewall set allprofiles firewallpolicy blockoutbound netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Allow DHCPv4" protocol=UDP dir=out localport=67,68 action=allow netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Allow DHCPv6" protocol=UDP dir=out localport=546,547 action=allow netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Allow Local IPv4 Network" protocol=TCP dir=out remoteip=192.168.0.0/16 action=allow netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Allow Local IPv6 Network" protocol=TCP dir=out remoteip=fe80::/10 action=allow You may also consider to backup the rules and enable them only when needed, instead of keeping them permanent. Check your system manual to do this. Kind regard

Hello! Yes, perfectly possible. Just configure your application(s) to connect to your proxy and use it/them while the system is connected to the VPN. Kind regards
