Hello! A 100% safe traffic leak prevention outside the VPN tunnel (we guess you mean that with "kill switch", is this right?) is impossible on a machine you don't control as root (administrator) but Eddie will perform a best effort to prevent leaks just like any other OpenVPN based application on Android. Please make sure that "TUN persist" and "Pause VPN ..." options are both active for this purpose. About the event you report, can you please add some more details? When you switched from WiFi to LTE, did OpenVPN disconnect and then never re-connected until you restarted Eddie? Can you reproduce the issue and post the full OpenVPN log taken after the problem has occurred? Kind regards

Hello! We're very glad to inform you that Eddie 1.0 Release Candidate 1 has just been released. RC1 has been linked against mbedTLS (formerly known as "PolarSSL") instead of OpenSSL. This decision has been taken because, according to our tests, performance with OpenSSL and mbedTLS is identical, while mbedTLS ensures a longer battery life under intensive usage: approximately a 10% improvement. This change also makes the package lighter. We warmly invite you to test as much as you can and report any glitch and bug you should find. We would like to thank all the beta testers so far: thanks to them the development cycle has been very fast and we are so near to release a stable version. Thank you! As usual Eddie is free and open source software released under GPLv3. You can participate to the beta testing by joining the beta community in the Google Play Store here https://play.google.com/apps/testing/org.airvpn.eddie Alternatively, if you don't want to access (or you have no access to) the Google Play Store, the apk can be downloaded from our Eddie web site here: https://eddie.website/repository/eddie/android/1.0rc1/org.airvpn.eddie.apk Kind regards and datalove AirVPN Staff ChangeLog.txt ChangeLog-1.0RC1.txt

It should not be a problem to extract a string with the IP address of the default gateway of the tun (or whatever) interface, with something like: pingip=$(ip route list dev tun0 | grep link | awk -F '/' {'print $1'} | sed 's/\.0/\.1/g') ping $pingip Fix and refine it according to your needs and pfSense nomenclature, interface names... Note that the last "sed" invocation is gross because it just replaces any ".0" with a ".1" so it will not work if you have a gateway with a 0 octet that's not the last one. Kind regards

Hello, why can't you get the VPN gateway address at each connection and automatically use it for your purposes? Kind regards

Hello! As a first check, please make sure that in Preferences > Network Lock the combo box Mode is NOT set to None. Kind regards

Hello! It's a delicate matter because GPL (and other licenses) are incompatible with Apple policy. Executive summary: Apple will not approve free and open source software, and we like to release only free and open source software. Apple business model on mobile devices is heavily based on restricting customers freedom (even the most trivial operations are locked in Apple devices). It would be irrational to allow software released with a license that's a major menace to a business model which works great. Longer analysis of the aforementioned incompatibility can be found in FSF articles and others. Kind regards

Hello, now it's very clear, thank you. Notifications on the issue will be sent shortly. Kind regards

Hello! Probably we're missing something here so we will leave the discussion to the developers with an invitation to clarify in the meantime: since plink.exe has been included in Eddie package for Windows since many years ago with its MIT license, with the correct digital signature (Simon Tatham is the author https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/) what is the change that's causing any issue? Kind regards

You can ping the VPN default gateway address as usual. Kind regards

Hello! Our Configuration Generator will generate any profile according to your preferences. It's available in your account "Client Area" in our web site. Next Eddie version will feature servers choice (similarly to the desktop edition), so that you will not even need to import profiles (Eddie will create them for you dynamically according to your preferences). Kind regards

Hello! List of Gen2 servers as of 14-July-18. Total: 87 servers. WRONG LIST - DELETED Kind regards

Hello! We're very glad to inform you that a new Eddie Air client version has been released: 2.16beta. It is ready for public beta testing. How to test our experimental release: Go to download page of your OSClick on Other versions Click on Experimental Look at the changelog if you wishDownload and installPlease see the changelog: https://eddie.website/changelog/?software=client&format=html

Hello! Thanks, this could be a bug. When you set a timeout value in Eddie, Eddie passes it to OpenVPN 3. However, our servers push "ping-restart 60", to decide when a connection must be considered "over" in UDP. This directive seems to override the Eddie setting. We will investigate. Overview: UDP is connectionless, so when you connect in UDP two OpenVPN nodes, each party can NOT know whether the other one is still alive. That's why each party "pings" the other (in our service every 10 seconds, inside the tunnel) and if no reply is received in 60 seconds to any "ping", a party considers that the other party is no more there. Lowering the keepalive from our side is an option, as well as fixing the possible override on Eddie settings, however this is a delicate matter because too low values can cause (especially in mobility) a bunch of disconnections which could be avoided. Consider that the OpenVPN default setting is 120 seconds, we already lowered it a lot. We will study the problem carefully. In the meantime, if you need an immediate reaction to a loss of connection, please connect in TCP. Only TCP can detect in a very quick time that the other party is no more there. UDP can not, simply because it's connectionless. Thank you again. Kind regards

Hello! We confirm that we can't see any problem with RAI. About Mediaset, we should have sorted the issue out, can you please try now? Kind regards

Hello! It's a good choice to have flexible and always up bootstrap servers. Bootstrap servers just pass encrypted data through, they do not store anything, but if they are all down Eddie will not work. So the priority is having several machines which can be duplicated on different addresses in a matter of seconds inside an infrastructure which is hard to black list as a whole. Kind regards

Hello! We do not see this problem with RAI (tested from a few random servers around the world). Can you list the server(s) you experience this problem on? Mediaset problem is confirmed and we're checking. Kind regards

Hello! You can use Network Lock with Tor over OpenVPN. However you can't use it with OpenVPN over Tor, because the Tor guard entry-IP can't be known before the Tor circuit is established. Kind regards

Hello! You see connections to the bootstrap servers which are essential to Eddie to create the configuration according to your preferences at the same time saving you the need to download manually certificates, keys, configuration files etc. Eddie also downloads other info for your comfort (servers list and status, for example). cURL is a tool for HTTP(S) communications which is used by Eddie with this purpose. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CURL Kind regards

Hello! One will remain, Mesarthim. Precisely. It was a bad story with Leaseweb USA, though. Our retaliation was canceling a wide battery of dozens of servers in the Netherlands, Germany and USA. Only Singapore was graced. After a couple of months we received the official apologies from their mother company lawyers. In spite of the apologies an AirVPN founder decided to keep them on ice for two three years except for Leaseweb SG and some tiny servers in Leaseweb NL. Now we are trying to re-build a bridge of good relationships with them because we have seen that many things have changed. Kind regards

these two links do not bring anything! No install packages and why does Arch .deb provide files if it is not Debian? Everything very strange, what you explain and offer everything here! To date, no one here has managed to write a sensible explanation of how Eddie is installed under Manjaro, but instead contradictory instructions and statements and no one really knows. And always offer these two links, which makes AirVPN and no one knows what to do with it. So in my eyes, absolutely "0" content and help! Hello! The packages linked in this thread, where you quote a message which is three years old, come from the community, they are not maintained by us, so we will not and we can not interfere with them. As usual you find the official packages in our "Enter" > "Linux" page, direct link https://airvpn.org/linux In the above official page you also find the link to the AUR Eddie package maintained by us, i.e. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/eddie-ui/ Normally it is just sufficient to check the instructions page in our web site or open a ticket if you can't understand something, please do so before shooting against AirVPN. Kind regards

Exactly, since 31 Jan 2018. Everything works just fine according to our customers reports, see by yourself. Problems which arose during the experimental phase have been resolved.. Feel free to open a ticket to get support and detect the problem. Kind regards

Hello! It involves MAC address of the tun interface too, not only TAP. We don't see it as a privacy hazard and we think that you don't even need to spoof it, it's just a MAC of a virtual interface which is lost when packets get out of our servers. Our servers already know your IPv6 address during the connection, which is a much more sensitive information. And we really need push-peer-info to discern whether a VPN server should push IPv6 routes and gateway or not when a user connects with an arbitrary software different than the AirVPN specific software. It is essential for us because, as you know, it's paramount for us that any user has the freedom to connect with any OpenVPN based software. Kind regards

Hello! This issue seems related to Oreo-specific "Network Lock" option for VPN: https://www.bestusefultips.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Google-Pixel-Wi-Fi-settings-in-android-8.0-Oreo.jpg Why the behavior is inconsistent between the switches WiFi->mobile and mobile->WIFi might perhaps be a bug. Several Oreo issues were fixed in 8.1 but not some issues affecting VPN users: https://www.neowin.net/news/google-addresses-android-81-oreo-vpn-issues-fix-to-be-released http://piunikaweb.com/2017/12/21/google-fixes-android-8-1-wifivpn-issue/ We suspect that (just like openvpn-connect and OpenVPN for Android programmers) we can't do much until Google does not fix once and for all the problem. The fact that the issue is not Eddie-specific, but common to three different OpenVPN-based applications supports the idea that the problem is not in the applications themselves, but at Oreo level. We will keep you informed if we get any relevant, new information about the issue. Kind regards

Hello, why don't you open a ticket? Probably Eddie is currently and swiftly running on tens of thousands Windows machines so it sounds like a local problem of yours. Anyway Eddie is just one software, our service can be used perfectly without Eddie. Check the "Enter" > "Windows" page in our web site, direct link https://airvpn.org/windows and do not hesitate to open a ticket. Kind regards
