EU Transfer of Funds Regulation 2023/1113
Staff replied to zb/XSZHHyd$HM'<z'oc"vc]T(O's topic in General & Suggestions
Hello! Changes about cryptocurrency acceptance are not on the table at the moment. The current framework excludes private "unhosted" wallets that are not operated by regulated Crypto-Asset Service Providers (CASP) from the scope of the regulation. This means that transfers conducted without a provider, such as Bitcoin trading platforms, or among providers acting on their own behalf, are not subject to the regulation. Therefore, if you pay to AirVPN via a wallet property of some CASP (i.e. you don't own the keys), you are subject to identification by that CASP. If you pay AirVPN via your own wallet, the transaction is not in the scope of the regulation. Kind regards- ...

Hello! We inform you that due to a few problems we are forced to replace the server Kitalpha in Switzerland. A much more powerful server will replace Kitalpha in the next days and it will be connected to a 10 Gbit/s full duplex port and line. As usual, the new server will be announced in this "News" forum in due time. The new server will not only replace Kitalpha but will also provide the additional bandwidth that several users require in Switzerland. We roughly estimate that the server will be available to you by November the 25th. Kind regards & datalove AirVPN Staff

Offer Bitcoin payments over lightning network
Staff replied to anon443's topic in General & Suggestions
Hello! Please feel free to provide at your convenience links or anyway references to the math analysis you mention that falsify, or show the flaws or wrong axioms, of the 2017 proof we linked. We did not. We linked to you an Investopedia article which includes references and links to other studies on each LN issue we mentioned. Good to know. Kind regards -
Offer Bitcoin payments over lightning network
Staff replied to anon443's topic in General & Suggestions
the Lightning Network Cannot Be a Decentralized Bitcoin Scaling Solution Hello! Nobody wrote the contrary. The author proved mathematically that a decentralized (*) LN can't be a Bitcoin scaling solution, hence the mentioned issues and our cautious approach. We have doubts, maybe you haven't even read (or understood) the math proof. Never mind, as we wrote we have taken your suggestions into consideration and they will be re-evaluated in due time, thank you for your time and suggestions. Just remember that we don't care that a centralized LN scales well, because at the moment we do NOT want centralization. (*) centralization of liquidity and not hashrate A math proof is a math proof, it's not an act of faith. If you found errors or anyway you are able to falsify the proof publish everything according to the math and logic framework as well as the proper formal language. Anything else is a waste of time: this is exactly the power of math and logic against dogmas, beliefs and deleterious chattering. Kind regards -

ANSWERED gluetun port forwarding not supported?
Staff replied to Pulse2492's topic in Troubleshooting and Problems
@Pulse2492 Hello! Since an AirVPN port reserved to an account does not change and since all AirVPN servers support remote inbound port forwarding, GlueTun does not need a specific AirVPN auto port forwarding setup, which is required only for clunky implementations where the port changes at each re-connection and/or port forwarding works only on some servers. You just need to configure (on both the listening program and the compose file) the port that you previously managed and reserved through your AirVPN account port panel. For more details please check GlueTun documentation. Kind regards -

Offer Bitcoin payments over lightning network
Staff replied to anon443's topic in General & Suggestions
Hello! If you can falsify a mathematical proof please do, otherwise please remain silent as you can't dismiss math with an act of faith. Also, a theorem does not become false when it is a few years old. We're not worried about our ability to accept BTC payments, so why should you? Thank you for the suggestions and the insights, they will be carefully considered. Kind regards -
Offer Bitcoin payments over lightning network
Staff replied to anon443's topic in General & Suggestions
Hello! This argument is an issue, for many people THE issue, which must be considered. For a quick introduction to this problem related to LN you can check Investopedia . For a mathematical approach debating even the scaling effectiveness and proving that a decentralized LN is unworkable you can start on medium.com for example. Good to know and, as we wrote, another serious issue to consider. So be it. If BTC fails as a payment tool if a higher layer of centralization is not implemented then that will be fine. Anyway we were not writing that we completely rule out LN, we wrote that there are serious issues to be considered which make us very cautious. Kind regards -
Offer Bitcoin payments over lightning network
Staff replied to anon443's topic in General & Suggestions
Hello! This is totally unnecessary. If your transaction doesn't have any confirmation within one hour, it will be accepted whenever it is confirmed and the system will activate automatically your account plan. If something goes wrong contact the support team, no need to "cancel" the transaction, whatever you mean. The concerns about LN have not been resolved in the last 3 years and therefore we are very cautious about it. The significant enlargement of the attack surface, the centralization problem (hub and spoke model), the closed-channel fraud issues, the betrayal of the custodial system, and a few other problems must all be considered carefully. Kind regards -
[Eddie Android] Auto connect on insecure network
Staff replied to valtomas's topic in Eddie - AirVPN Client
Hello! There is no way for Eddie to recognize one specific network and modify the behavior accordingly at the moment. It is a feature we can consider with the due caveat (you need to renounce to system's leaks prevention). Kind regards -
Hi! Please see here: https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/56430-road-to-openvpn-26-and-dco/?do=findComment&comment=226017 On https://github.com/OpenVPN/ovpn-dco: As we wrote, we are not inclined to deploy something under heavy development that can change radically. Furthermore DCO development has been very slow in the last three years and the interest around OpenVPN DCO is fading away with at least one major VPN provider dropping OpenVPN completely in 2026 (not DCO, OpenVPN in its entirety). We'll see whether the DCO can reach a stable release and if/when the developers release something stable we will re-evaluate the matter for sure. Please check before writing the "road to OpenVPN 2.6" here: https://airvpn.org/road_to_openvpn26/ where you can read that the beta testing phase will be ongoing "Until openvpn-dco stable version is released". After a stable version is released we would start the migration phase. Kind regards

[Eddie Android] Auto connect on insecure network
Staff replied to valtomas's topic in Eddie - AirVPN Client
Hello! It is described in the manual, step by step. Please make sure to check the manual here: https://airvpn.org/android/eddie/#step6 and here: https://airvpn.org/android/eddie/#step7 Please note that if the "Always on VPN" feature has been removed by the manufacturer, no VPN app can start and connect during the device bootstrap. This is relevant for example in Huawei and some other phones by Chinese companies, where this options was removed to forbid automatic VPN connections at the startup. This feature has also been removed from Android TV 10 and higher versions, with the same purpose. Kind regards -
ANSWERED 30mbps on firestick via Eddie
Staff replied to stevoobarnes's topic in Troubleshooting and Problems
Hello! Which exact Firestick model do you have (exact CPU)? Please make sure you run Eddie 3.2.1 which is linked against the latest WireGuard library and that you test connections over WireGuard, not only OpenVPN. You will not find it on the Amazon store (updates to our app were prohibited/rejected by Amazon because we refuse to offer Amazon Pay in-app purchases) so you will need to side load it, if you haven't already done so: https://airvpn.org/android/eddie/apk/tv/ Kind regards -

Hello! We're very glad to inform you that a new 1 Gbit/s full duplex server located in Madrid (Spain) is available: Jishui. 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 OpenVPN connections on ports 53, 80, 443, 1194, 2018 UDP and TCP, and WireGuard connections on ports 1637, 47107 and 51820. Just like every other Air server, Jishui supports OpenVPN over SSL and OpenVPN over SSH, TLS 1.3, 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 server status as usual in our real time servers monitor: https://airvpn.org/servers/Jishui Do not hesitate to contact us for any information or issue. Kind regards and datalove AirVPN Team

Hello! We are honored to see that you expect from us superhuman powers but unfortunately after a reality check we must tell you that not only we don't know the attackers personally, but we are not even able to read minds. Also remember that future mitigation procedures, if any, should not be disclosed, in order not to make the attacker task easier. No, there were no attacks. Currently the main objectives are NYC, LA and Raleigh. Kind regards

Hello! We do not prevent any access to Zoho or any mail service. The only block we enforce as a unique exception to our Net Neutrality commitment is a block against outbound port 25. Please make sure you do not rely on port 25 for SMTP (plain SMTP must not be used anyway) and connect to the standard Zoho mail server ports (465 or 587 for SMPT over SSL/TLS). If you are already connecting to port 465 or 587 please contact Zoho customer service and verify if (and if so why) they block AirVPN servers. Feel free to keep us informed. Kind regards
