There are no DNS leaks on Linux.

With which .NET framework? It's hard to provide exact numbers, but on our (few) Windows 7 x64 testing machines the user interface is roughly 100% faster, which is a remarkable improvement (up to 2 times faster in most user interface operations). Kind regards

Hello, the problem must be in how you and your friends try to access the service. How do you do it? We did it without problems, as we told you, at .airdns.org: You should have seen two unauthorized access attempts from user "airvpnwashere" in your service logs. Kind regards

Hello! We can reach your service (well, we did not pass the authentication, but that's not important ). Everything seems configured correctly: we reached it even using your *.airdns.org name. Notes: probably useless to say that your forwarded port is not 12345, but just in case... check the listening port (when you try to access the service from the outside). Also remember that you can't access a service behind some VPN server from any device connected to that same VPN server. Kind regards

Hello, an unexpected behavior can derive from two firewalls running at the same time: two softwares with the same privileges modifying the OS filtering table together... Network Lock in Eddie 2.10 sets Windows Firewall rules, so the outcome when it runs in competition with Bitdefender is unpredictable and can lead to all sorts of problems, including security problems. Eddie 2.11.xbeta uses Windows Filtering Platform, so you might be able to use concurrently even a third-party firewall with Network Lock, as long as this firewall does not manipulate WFP rules and does not set incompatible rules evaluated after the WFP rules. Kind regards

Hello, can you please check whether your /etc/resolv.conf file has the "immutable" flag set? If so, nothing can change it with ordinary r/w operations (not even root) until you clear the flag with chattr. Kind regards

IMPORTANT NOTE: point 2 is optional, point 3 is MANDATORY. Actually point 2 can be ignored. Point 1 is included in point 3. Kind regards

It does exactly as you say (of course you need to re-run it to give it chance to fix the situation). However it does not do that when one or both DNS servers were missing (in the original settings of the physical network interface). This is the bug which has been fixed in 2.11. Kind regards

We are reflecting on this carefully due to OSTIF comments. Below you find quoted the passages that in our opinion deserve further consideration. https://ostif.org/openvpn-audit-updates-news-and-more/ Kind regards

Hello! 1) Make sure to download only Eddie 2.11.9beta (Eddie 2.10.3 stable is not compatible with Mono 4 and will not install in Mint 18). https://airvpn.org/topic/18625-eddie-211beta-available/ 2) If you downloaded the .deb package, right-click on it and select "Open with" > "Installer" (menu item names may slightly change according to your file manager). Alternatively install it with dpkg (and resolve dependencies with apt-get) or install it in one pass with gdebi. If you downloaded a tarball extract everything in one single directory you created for the purpose. Kind regards

Hello! Please try to set HTTP proxy in Eddie interface (and not with a custom directive), use at least one Outside VPN Tunnel route also from Eddie interface, connect to server, and post the filtered Stats->Generated OVPN and the system report (Logs > life belt icon > paste). Kind regards

Australia, Turkey, United Kingdom, Singapore are not mid-eastern countries and could be considered "western" countries for their alleged lifestyle and purposes (Turkey has been negotiating entering the EU since years and years ago, and they should know that a basic founding principles of the EU is the protection of human rights) or for their actual or theoretical legal framework based on protection of human rights (Singapore, Australia, United Kingdom) that have historically been promoted for the first time by western countries (and by United Kingdom itself in times that many forget too soon and too easily). Kind regards

Hello! Let's go from theory to practice, to see how applicable and not applicable is this law. So let's assume that an activity of a Netherlands server is allegedly infringing US laws. How do the investigators determine the identity of the computer who committed the alleged crime, to install spyware on it? They don't know anything about this user, just that he/she is somewhere on Earth. They could try to get a court order to install spyware on that server, or they could try to find out the computer of the owner of the datacenter or of the Air owner to install a spyware on them. Very hard, if not impossible, to obtain a court order authorizing that, but anyway even if they did, and even if they could successfully manage to infect the computer of the dc owner, the VPN server and the computer of Air owner, how could that help the investigation? How could that retrieve any information usable in a court for the original case? Kind regards

Hello! We're very glad to inform you that a new 1 Gbit/s server located in Austria is available: Alderamin. The AirVPN client will show automatically the new server, while if you use the OpenVPN 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, 2018 UDP and TCP. Just like every other Air server, Alderamin supports OpenVPN over SSL and OpenVPN over SSH. As usual no traffic limits, no logs, no discrimination on protocols and hardened security against various attacks with separate entry and exit-IP addresses. Do not hesitate to contact us for any information or issue. Kind regards and datalove AirVPN Team

Hello! That could be caused by a corrupt AirVPN.xml file (the configuration file). Try to delete it (with root privileges) while the Air client software Eddie is not running. Find out the location of the file by running Eddie and looking at the first log entries (click "Logs" tab). Take note of the path, shut down Eddie ("AirVPN" > "Exit"), open a terminal and type : sudo rm /complete/path/AirVPN.xml Kind regards

Hello! It's correct, Eddie UI probably won't work with Wayland, we have planned an investigation in the near future (it is probably related to Mono). You could run it in command line "mode" anyway: https://airvpn.org/topic/11541-command-line-edition-and-syntax/ About OpenVPN, the initialization sequence appears fine but DNS push is not taken care of. Have a look here: https://airvpn.org/topic/9608-how-to-accept-dns-push-on-linux-systems-with-resolvconf/ and then here (important): https://airvpn.org/topic/20554-dns-fails-resolvconf-not-updated/ If you prefer to run Eddie, it will take care of DNS by acting directly on /etc/resolv.conf Kind regards

General advices to fix the problem in OS X: reboot both the router and the systemif the problem persists try to "patch" the notorious OS X bug with WiFi. You might need to periodically re-apply the "patch". Probably not relevant if you connect your Mac with Ethernet. The bug affects all OS X versions and macOS Sierra. See below.Instructions to fix in various versions: http://osxdaily.com/2015/10/16/fix-wi-fi-problems-mac-os-x-el-capitan/ El Capitanhttp://osxdaily.com/2014/10/25/fix-wi-fi-problems-os-x-yosemite/ Yosemitehttp://osxdaily.com/2016/09/22/fix-wi-fi-problems-macos-sierra/ Sierrahttp://osxdaily.com/2012/11/30/resolving-stubborn-wi-fi-connection-problems-in-mac-os-x/ Mavericks and older OS X versionsOther possible specific causes: router blocking UDPsystem packet filtering tool blocking UDPISP blocking UDP For the last aforementioned cause the only solution is connecting in TCP, or OpenVPN over SSL or SSH. Kind regards

Which "modern" countries disallow this? Australia, China, Kuwait, Singapore, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Uzbekistan, Yemen, Burma, Indonesia, South Korea, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey. A special "mention" (not strictly related to your question) to Russia and Lithuania, in which any positive "mention" of homosexuality is a criminal infringement. North Korea is an outsider, useless to cite it, since no Internet connectivity is available to the citizens (they have an internal intranet with 30 approved web sites, according to an old ONI report in 2007). Kind regards

New version 2.11.9beta RC6 is now available. Changelog from 2.11.8beta RC5: [bugfix] Windows - Executable path detection fix if launched from terminal[bugfix] Windows - Start minimized[change] Windows - CLI edition doesn't throw an exception if stdin is under redirection[bugfix] Windows - Custom routes do not cause Network Lock failure anymore Kind regards

This is a non-existing issue on our side. Kind regards

Hello, select "AirVPN" > "About" menu item or look at the first log entry (click "Logs" after you have launched Eddie). Kind regards

Yes,, when "OpenVPN for Android" will implement a reliable "Seamless Tunnel" feature like openvpn-connect does, it will become probably a superior choice. Both use PolarSSL anyway. Kind regards
