It might or it might not. It's unrelated. This is more significant and suggests selective traffic shaping enforced by your ISP, local network problems (QoS tools) or other system or line related problems. It's all written in the answers to the FAQ. By the way: In that case you generate a configuration file in which the "remote" directive is filled with a domain name which is updated every 5 minutes (TTL 1 hour) to resolve into the entry-IP address of the best rated server in that country. Each server has a score according to a formula. This is how Eddie computes the score: https://airvpn.org/topic/11208-in-what-order-does-the-client-choose-recommended-servers/ The score to update the DNS record of an aforementioned name is similarly computed, but of course without taking into account the round trip time between your node and the server. Kind regards

Hello, Netherlands servers are connected to AMS-IX with enough redundancy, that's why several of them enter so often (if not always) the top 10 Users speed. You should first check for bottlenecks in your local network, congestion in your ISP network (especially since you experience intermittent problem), bad peering. Kind regards

Hi, in 2016 and 2017 Japan drafted a new legislation which went into full force at the end of May 2017 on privacy and data protection. The new framework has been recognized as offering a high level of safeguards for citizens, comparable to those offered by the EU legal framework. As such, Japan has been added into the EU white list of countries offering an adequate level of personal data protection (the recognition has been mutual, since Japan created a similar white list, in which the EU has been added). Last but not least we have found a datacenter which meets our requirements. Kind regards

Your iptables version does not support --wait, consider to upgrade to Eddie 2.14.2beta which does not use this option anymore with iptables. Since DNS leaks do not exist in Linux, the thread subject is misleading and the problem could lie somewhere else. Last but not least, it is odd that a DNS test shows your public residential IP address, are you running a DNS server in your local network? Kind regards

Hello, it's expected when flood comes from our own VPN servers themselves. Kind regards

. 2018.03.01 13:50:52 - OpenVPN > /sbin/ip link set dev tun0 up mtu 1500 . 2018.03.01 13:50:52 - OpenVPN > MANAGEMENT: Client disconnected . 2018.03.01 13:50:52 - OpenVPN > Linux ip link set failed: could not execute external program Before anything else please make sure that "ip" is in /sbin and that it can be accessed. Kind regards

It may happen when an attack against our web site starts from our infrastructure (the enemy within ). Forgive us for the typos in the warning message. Kind regards

On top of all the good arguments already brought on, we would like to add that in Dallas we have a better protection against © trolls and other entities. Any VPN service operating servers in the United States must take into account the cowardliness of datacenter owners who prefer to just shut lines and services than analyzing claims from copyright industry and other entities. Actually, check our competitors: you will see that even giants like Private Internet Access do not have the guts to allow (just to make an example) p2p protocols in the United States (they re-route outside the USA). Or think of NordVPN which does not allow p2p at all in servers in the USA, in spite of their promises of Net Neutrality, no traffic discrimination, no traffic monitoring etc. They do monitor and discriminate traffic to re-route your p2p traffic outside the USA, or to block it altogether. They re-route or ban an entire class of protocols because through a couple of them copyright infringements might be easier. At the end of the day, please evaluate all the services we provide and all the promises we keep. You will get an explanation about why we focus on carefully picked locations to host our servers instead of basing our business on marketing fluff aimed to gullible people. Kind regards

Hello, it looks very unsafe. The script removes the tunneling routes to the VPN gateway, so your system traffic will not be necessarily tunneled over AirVPN. Comment by grisha explains the problem as well. Kind regards

Hello, problem resolved, can you please try again now? Kind regards

Hello, problem fixed, please try again now. Kind regards

Hello! It's just you. We can access speedtest.net fine from Iskandar. Are you sure your system queries VPN DNS? Kind regards

Hello! The previous DNS problem you warned us about was linked to ipleak.net server problems, unrelated to Chara. It has been fixed, please try again. Can you also tell us which websites you can't access from Chara? Thank you! Kind regards

Hello! We're very glad to inform you that a new 1 Gbit/s server located in the United States is available: Microscopium. It is located in Chicago, IL. The AirVPN client will show automatically the new server, If you use the OpenVPN client you can generate all the files to access them through our configuration/certificates/key generator (menu "Client Area"->"Config generator"). The servers accept connections on ports 53, 80, 443, 1194, 2018 UDP and TCP. Just like every other Air server, Microscopium 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. Please note that Microscopium replaces Aquarius which will be withdrawn because the provider has become unable to meet our requirements. Do not hesitate to contact us for any information or issue. Kind regards and datalove AirVPN Team

Hello! Not necessarily, consider for example what we call "partition of trust". In this way you can have most of the advantages of a VPN without having to trust the VPN operators and the datacenter (where a server works in) technicians. We strongly disagree about the need of security through obscurity when it involves the source code of a software, and openness should not be limited to protocols only. However this is a long and complex argument that we prefer to not discuss in wider terms right here right now. Under a very practical point of view you can see that we have been always able to guarantee access to AirVPN from China and Iran through an open source software. If any part of your software needs to be closed for such a reason (currently it's all closed source, if we're not mistaken, right?), you should wonder whether it's really necessary or it's only a design problem. Kind regards

Hello, yes, you will be able to connect to Chara. In the next few hours it will be restarted with a full IPv6 and tls-crypt supporting configuration and set as "Experimental". Your feedback will be much appreciated. EDIT: Chara now works in IPv6 too and supports tls-crypt as well. Kind regards

Hello, it is not set as a date but as a conditional events sequence, We will start IPv6 widespread deployment after Eddie 2.14.x stable has been released, and after any investigation on various feedback pertaining to IPv6 is over. Kind regards

Hello! It always chooses UDP to port 443. A smarter behavior could be considered for the future Eddie releases. Kind regards

This is confirmed by another user too. It looks like currently BBC news redirects to bbc.com even from one or some UK residential ISPs. Kind regards

We will protect privacy no matter what it takes. Answering with a smile to the data retention lovers. Somebody has got to do this If we are the people they count on...

You got it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEDV3UjhCLA (re-arranged) 1 year on its way... Kind regards

Nope.

Hello! We're very glad to inform you that a new 1 Gbit/s server located in Japan is available: Iskandar. This is the first server we operate in Japan, so a special name has been picked. Find the source for fun, the first person (with a valid account) posting the correct source of the name will get a 1 year plan for free. 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, 1194, 2018 UDP and TCP. Just like every other Air server, Iskandar 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, as you might have seen the Zywall content filtering is blocking access to our bootstrap servers. Please upgrade to 2.14.2beta and open a ticket. Kind regards

Hello, starting from 2.14.2beta, Eddie does not use anymore the "--wait" iptables option. Kind regards
