  1. Hello! We're sorry to inform you that Rastaban (SE) has reached its life cycle end due to multiple hardware wreckages. Since it is an old server and its hardware is becoming outdated anyway, we will not repair it and we have decided to withdraw it. Kind regards AirVPN Staff
  2. Need to enter a captcha can not be considered a block, so this forum is not suitable for your topic. We will move it to "General & Suggestions". Kind regards
  3. Hello, as advertised each VPN server has one entry and one exit IP address. They are different to prevent various correlation attacks. Kind regards
  4. Hello, as Monsieur De La Palisse would say, if IPv6 is active in your system then it has not been disabled. Something is wrong in your procedure, please check. Eddie for GNU/Linux can not guarantee that IPv6 is disabled in every GNU/Linux distribution, as you probably already know from the disclaimer it prints the first time you the option. You can enable Network Lock, which will set ip6tables rules to prevent IPv6 leaks. Kind regards
  5. Very ordinary flood attacks. Kind regards
  6. Hello, we strongly recommend that you do not do that. You're exposing your system to enormous exploit hazard. Kind regards
  7. Hello! Can you please check whether "ifconfig" is in /sbin ? OpenVPN should use "ip" on systems without ifconfig. If you don't have ifconfig, check whether some package containing ifconfig for your distribution (for example net-tools) is available for a quick solution. Kind regards
  8. Hello, we're glad to inform you that the DNS and "torrent IP address detection" issues have been resolved. Kind regards
  9. Hold on, with Network Lock enabled anything else does not matter, it must be impossible for any program to send data from the physical interface to an arbitrary non-local, non-VPN server destination (except trivial cases in which you let some program modify firewall rules, of course). Can you describe your environment (OS exact version etc.)? Kind regards
  10. Hello! We're very glad to inform you that a new 1 Gbit/s server located in Switzerland is available: Arneb. 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, Arneb 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
  11. Really? So, what about any other application that implements STUN? Kind regards
  12. Hello, the issue is ill posed. Please read the following article to frame the argument correctly then enable Network Lock. https://www.clodo.it/blog/an-alternative-approach-to-so-called-webrtc-leaks/ Kind regards
  13. Can you please elaborate? Network Lock is based on WFP by default in version 2.11.3 beta, not on Windows Firewall. Kind regards
  14. We already proved that it's not a matter of opinions. You lie on facts and after your replies it seems that you do so deliberately. We have showed everyone the proof of your lies. We lock the thread to prevent any modification to it, as a permanent reminder of the aforementioned lies. Kind regards
  15. Even if the web site is maintained by us, the geo-location of an IP address is performed by querying MaxMind database. It is not so good, but it's better than any other we could find. Probably an error-free IP addresses geo-location database is a stupid myth. Anyway if you (or anybody else) think that there's something better than MaxMind out there, feel free to inform us. Kind regards
  16. It's written quite clearly in the first message of this thread. Please do not hijack this thread, thank you in advance. Kind regards
  17. Hello! Bug confirmed in 2.11.3 beta, thank you! The developers will be working to have it fixed. Kind regards
  18. I have tested now the portable Eddi version since a couple of days and it works totaly fine and stable. There are no TAP-driver issues as I have it with the normal Eddi-Client. For Windows, Eddie 2.11.x comes packaged with tun/tap driver 9.21.2 while Eddie 2.10.3 includes tun/tap driver 9.21.1. Kind regards
  19. News about IPLeak.net: - Now reachable with IPv6 - Domains to switch between IPv4 and IPv6 - Experimental IP/WebRTC IPv6 detection - Users can query any IP address or domain - Updated JSON/XML/PHP API - Opened a new airvpn.org forum: https://airvpn.org/forum/38-ip-leak/ - Some bug fixes and improvements.
  20. Hello! Please see: https://airvpn.org/topic/12088-hackforumsnet-blocked/?do=findComment&comment=19820 Kind regards
  21. Hello! In Ubuntu 16 make sure to install Eddie 2.11.x beta because the current stable release (2.10.3) is not compatible with Mono 4 (i.e. the default Mono package for Ubuntu 16 in the repos). Please see here: https://airvpn.org/topic/18625-eddie-211beta-available/ Also, a new Eddie beta build will be available very soon, and it will be followed shortly by 2.11 stable. Kind regards
  22. Hello, it is a bug in Eddie 2.11.1 .2 .3 beta. It will be fixed in the next build which will be released very soon. Kind regards
  23. @ThatOnePrivacyGuy Scope of the directive 2006/114/EC does not cover the cases you cite, because any essential requisite is missing: the subject is not an AirVPN employee or a person that is paid to write a review or anything else about AirVPN. On top of that, the reviews are not misleading, at least in our opinion. We would like to know which points in your opinion are misleading in some review because you keep failing to show them. More relevant would be the totally different case of hidden advertisement, which is NOT covered by the Directive you cite (it is covered by 2005/29/EC). For this very reason you can warn about reviews with a referral link but missing a disclaimer. As we said, we already check that, but for practical reasons we check only those referrals which effectively send users (anyway, the source of income from referrals is irrelevant, we're talking about negligible percentages). Therefore: you admitted that your review contained a misleading sentence (false and defamatory in our opinion) and you replace that sentence with another false sentence, as we have proved to you (for clarity: we refer to the first page of Google Search engine, no country redirect, where the majority of reviews do NOT contain any referral link: exactly the opposite of what suggested by your new sentence)you cite a Directive pertaining to misleading, comparative advertisement, while you fail to provide where the review is misleadingthen you change context and insinuate hidden advertisement, which is totally different and covered by a different DirectiveWe assume that you are in good faith, but you can see that some doubts may legitimately arise. For some people, it is somehow difficult to assume that you are able to commit so many mistakes for lack of information, when all of those mistakes are against us. When you agree with yourself and you can follow a coherent line based on correct, accurate information, we will surely be able to have a more constructive dialogue. Kind regards
  24. @ThatOnePrivacyGuy Thank you for your extensive reply. Unfortunately, we think that it does not address our corrections at all. First of all, this is not the original sentence of your article, The original sentence is: "Do a search for “AirVPN review” and just try to find one that isn’t written by someone paid to do so." which clearly suggests that an overwhelming majority of reviews are paid by us. This is false and defamatory because we don't pay for any review. Additionally, at the moment of this writing and at the moment of the publication of your article, most of the reviews did/do not even contain a referral link. Tom's Hardware, Torrentfreak, vpnMentor, your own and even other reviews you can find on the first Google Search page are all reviews which not only have not been paid, but do not even include a referral link. Therefore, if the aim of this thread is having a fair exchange of opinions to improve both sides, we would recommend that you do not apply old rhetoric tricks (admitting that a sentence is wrong to replace it with a different but equally false sentence) to twist your sentences in the mind of the readers, according to your own requirements of trust and transparency and your calls for "ethical" behaviors. This is your opinion. We can respect it but we can't share it. The requirement of a disclaimer for a review including a referral link is in our opinion correct and we already ask for it to our few, major referrals (who have of course the right to refuse if the applicable law for their web site does not require that). Of course we can't check all the referrals, it's humanly impossible, but we check all the referrals that refer to us more than 5-6 users per week. The referrals who don't refer any user to us can be checked randomly, but of course have a lower priority since they don't harm anybody. About copyright enforcement we are in total disagreement. In the first place we are not copyright enforcers. It is not our duty, not our competence and not our will. Under this respect, your requirement is in our opinion unreasonable and legally unsustainable . And since you stress a lot on "ethics" throughout your whole message, we think that your requirement is contradictory. Copyright is one sector of the wide set of different laws and international trade agreements pertaining to intellectual monopolies, which in the last century have been severely damaging innovation, harming and limiting freedom of expression, imposing barriers to seek and impart information and access to culture, science and art, and above all have been causing and are causing millions of deaths and dreadful suffering to hundreds of millions of people. We can discuss endlessly about the horrors and the good of intellectual monopolies, but asking us to act as a copyright enforcer against some third-party web site is not only unreasonable under a legal point of view, but also unethical, because we would become a small part of that huge "machinery" that promotes one of the set of laws and one of those "mind attitudes" which are one of the causes (and not a negligible one, for what you can see in the last decades) of humankind pain especially in developing countries. Let's leave this task to the "competent authorities". That's correct. If you have time, please feel free to inform us if some review containing a referral link infringes the legal framework of the European Union on this subject. While we check all the referrals which bring to us customers, it's impossible for us to check all of those that don't send referred persons, so we leave the task to the public authorities who have the competence and duty to do so. Last but not least, feel free to cite the reviews that in your opinion talk about our service with undeserved terms. We ask because we usually see that the reviews, even those that contain referral links, miss the strong points of our service, in our opinion - but of course we underline that it's impossible to read them all. Kind regards
  25. Hello! No, we have never paid and we will never pay for a review. We receive an offer for paid reviews almost every week but we decline every time. Note that the article you linked adds something more, i.e. it is even against our referral program which would aid misleading/hidden ads according to the author, and against us when we don't intervene to exercise pressure to prevent alleged copyright infringements on third party web sites that also use referral links. We wish to add that the sentence "Do a search for “AirVPN review” and just try to find one that isn’t written by someone paid to do so." is misleading and potentially defamatory (although the article might be quite irrelevant, we anyway reserve the right to sue for libel/defamation if our lawyers will recommend to do so). If you use Google for example, you find a lot of reviews, on the top positions, which do not even have a referral link. And of course all of them have not been paid, once again we confirm that we have never paid for any review. Kind regards
