  1. Hello!

    Google Search should never be used for privacy reasons (Google profiling techniques are so advanced that you risk to create a correlation between your real identity and your VPN identity at the tiniest error) and ethical reasons, but you can rely on startpage.com if you really need Google Search. Startpage will proxy your queries to Google Search and serve you back Google reply, therefore an additional protection layer stands between your node and Google and you usually avoid captchas. A very good search engine offering privacy protection commitment is Brave Search:
    https://search.brave.com

  2. Hello!

    You have renewed your key in the last hours and maybe you forgot to force Eddie to update. Please try to uncheck "Remember me", log your account out, log your account in again. This procedure is necessary each time you renew your key(s) or create new ones, because Eddie does not download the new keys automatically, but only at each login.

    Kind regards

    Im unfortunately unable to use the Eddie client, I only have the .ovpn available to me. Is it not possible with your service to OpenVPN over Tor without Eddie?

    Hello!

    It's explained in our previous message, the one you quoted, to let you see all the required steps.

    Kind regards

    Hello!

    Caveat: this answer isn't written by an Eddie developer. If you need more details or information please tell us so and someone more competent on the matter will be queried for a reply in the next days.

    The guide you linked features an apparently different connection mode. To establish OpenVPN over Tor connection and route all the system traffic (except the traffic directly going to Tor) over OpenVPN over Tor, Eddie talks to Tor Control (that's why Tor must be already running: Eddie will not run it by itself), obtains the IP address of the Tor entry guard, routes it outside the VPN tunnel to prevent infinite routing loop, and establishes the VPN connection to the final VPN server over Tor SOCKS proxy:
    https://github.com/AirVPN/Eddie/blob/a9ebf22515133616811b630caee762b3ef970149/src/Lib.Core/TorControl.cs#L25

    Observe the routing table, consult the configuration file (dynamically generated by Eddie) and read Eddie log when you connect over OpenVPN over Tor with Eddie (use some testing system with a DE for example). In order to simplify communications with Tor Control, you may consider something like the following CLI tool:
    https://github.com/adrelanos/tor-ctrl

  5. Hello!

    Please click Activate and then "mouse over" the link to see the whole URI scheme including the URN, or right-click (with most browsers) the magnet link and select "Copy link" to store it in your system's clipboard and process it comfortably.

    Kind regards
     


  6. Hello!

    The option you ask for is already implemented. You can change connection mode by selecting "Preferences" > "Protocols" from Eddie's main window. Uncheck "Automatic", select a line with WireGuard connection and click "Save". Eddie does not change connection mode by itself, the "Automatic" option in reality is just fixed at the moment to OpenVPN, UDP, port 443.

    Kind regards
     


  7. Hello!

    When you get the error, can you please check whether an instance of Eddie is really running or not? Open the Task Manager and check whether some eddie* process is running or not. If so, check whether Eddie started minimized. Search for Eddie's tray icon (a small cloud in a circle) in the system tray. Make sure to see hidden tray icons too by clicking the "up" arrow which will show hidden icons. If you find the tray icon double click on it to bring Eddie's main window up.

    Kind regards
     


  8. Hello!

    Please feel free to open a ticket for support and in the meantime you can retrieve Eddie 2.20.0 by clicking "Other versions" on the usual Windows download page:
    https://airvpn.org/windows
    Select "2.20.0" and you will be brought back to the download page, pointing this time to Eddie 2.20.0. Download as usual.

    In the ticket please include a system report generated by Eddie after the problem has occurred. Please see here to do so:
    https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/50663-youve-been-asked-for-a-support-filesystem-report-–-heres-what-to-do/

    You might also like to test Eddie 2.23.2 and check whether the problem gets resolved or not. To download Eddie 2.23.2 please see here:
    https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/56428-eddie-desktop-223-beta-released/


    Kind regards


  9. Hello!

    As @overbuilt985 noted, this is a WireGuard problem (except for the crash reported by OP, which is under investigation). We and some of our customers managed to reproduce the issue even by using stand alone WireGuard "official" Android app.

    @pandabearresurrection if the problem gets unbearable please consider to switch to OpenVPN at the moment. You can switch between WireGuard and OpenVPN by tapping the "VPN type" icon in the main view before you start a connection. Also make sure that "VPN Lock" is NOT enabled and that "Always on VPN" and "Block connections without VPN" system settings are on, please see https://airvpn.org/android/eddie/#step6

    Kind regards
     


  10. Hello!

    Maybe you have "VPN Lock" enabled in Eddie's settings, please check. "VPN Lock" would prevent any possible re-connection, but it's disabled by default as it is useful to prevent leaks in Android 7 and older versions, and in Android TV, where "Always on VPN" and "Block connections without VPN" are not available. Also feel free to send a log in a ticket. In the "Settings" view tap the paper plane icon, take note of the URL that Eddie gives you back (you can copy it in the clipboard) and send the link to the support team.

    Kind regards
     


  11. Hello!

    From here:
    E 2023.10.28 03:48:40 - Checking route IPv4 failed, last reason: Fetch url error:Timeout was reached
    . 2023.10.28 03:48:40 - OpenVPN > write UDP: Unknown error (code=10065)
    . 2023.10.28 03:48:40 - OpenVPN > write UDP: Unknown error (code=10065)
    . 2023.10.28 03:48:40 - OpenVPN > write UDP: Unknown error (code=10065)
    . 2023.10.28 03:48:40 - Above log line repeated 77 times more

    it's plausible that UDP is blocked. Please make sure that no packet filtering tool in the router blocks UDP.

    If the problem persists, please try a connection in TCP (OpenVPN, protocol TCP, entry-IP addtress 3, port 443) and check what happens. You can change connection mode in Eddie's "Preferences" > "Protocols" window. Uncheck "Automatic", select the line with the mentioned connection mode (the line will be highlighted), click "Save" and test again connections.

    Kind regards

    Hm. More then five months later, Sucuri is still blocking Linuxmint.com and quite a few other sites I regularly visit. Is action really being taken, staff?

    Hello!

    Not really, i.e. the black list compiled by Sucuri according to what they find in 10 other black lists and other evaluations (if any) is not modified by any of our actions apparently. Check here:
    https://docs.sucuri.net/malware-removal/delisting-blacklisted-sites/how-to-get-off-a-blacklist/
    https://docs.sucuri.net/malware-removal/delisting-blacklisted-sites/

  13. Hello!

    1. Correct. A new Eddie Desktop edition version 3 will get rid of Mono in the UI (Eddie backend already does not need Mono or .NET framework). The UI itself will be refreshed. A roadmap is not currently available, we're sorry.
    2. Several variables affect performance of OpenVPN and WireGuard and it is actually difficult to provide an effective and general suggestion on which of the two you should pick. Ignore the "recommended for best performance" at the moment, we might remove it altogether. Test both WireGuard and OpenVPN and pick the one which can provide you with the best performance. On iOS, provided that your ISP does not shape WireGuard or UDP traffic, and therefore on a level playing field, WireGuard is faster according to the majority of reports.
    3. You can find detailed instructions for WireGuard in iOS in the dedicated page, direct link: https://airvpn.org/ios/wireguard/appstore/
    4. No, we're sorry, major streaming platforms (e.g. Hulu, Primevideo, Netflix, Disney+) are not accessible from our infrastructure. We would need "residential IP addresses" from USA residential ISPs to make them accessible. We have no plan for that for the near future, we're sorry.
    5. Just ask for deletion in a ticket (click "Contact us" on the web site while your account is logged in and send the deletion request)
    Kind regards

    I renewd the keys for device but I am not able to use the same DDNS for 2 ports. All ports are redirect to the same device. 
    If I add for another port the same DDNS as another port I get still the message "DNS already in use". 
    Whats the reason that I cannot use the same DDNS?


    Hello!

    We understand that your purpose is making multiple ports reachable on the same host with the same qualified domain name through our DDNS. If we understand correctly your purpose, you just need to select for the first (*) port the FQD name you want, and then select the same first port device for any other port which must be reachable on the same FQDN. Which is already your current configuration according to your description.
    (*) In reality not necessarily the first, but any port sharing the same device.

    if we misunderstood your purpose please feel free to elaborate and clarify.

    Kind regards

    what happened to other payment methods such as alipay, unionpay, etc? i cant see them anymore 

    Hello!

    We're sorry, they are not available. Alipay and Unionpay were available for a very short time through 2checkout which we do not use anymore at the moment. Anyway, for some reason probably related to written or unwritten rules by China authorities on payment processors and never explained clearly to us, Chinese payment processors refuse to process payments to us and, we infer, to any VPN service not approved by the government. You can find a complete list of accepted payment methods in the "buy" page:
    https://airvpn.org/buy

  16. Hello!

    Thanks for the inquiry. It is possible to pick specific servers to connect to, anytime, with unlimited switches. However, while we have servers in Germany, we do not have servers in Cyprus, so you can't have Cyprus located IP addresses, we're very sorry.

    Kind regards
     


  17. Hello!

    We're very sorry, from a few reports we can say it does not work. While two of our connection modes bypass Turkmenistan blocks, Turkmenistan actively monitors our IP addresses and blocks them regularly, in a matter of a few days when we add a server or change IP addresses. Please try Tor with private obfuscated bridges:
    https://bridges.torproject.org/

    Kind regards
     


  18. Hello!

    Eddie Android edition adopts the Identical convention by "OpenVPN for Android" and other apps.

    Black list enabled: all traffic inside the VPN tunnel except the traffic of the black listed applications which goes outside the tunnel.
    White list enabled: all traffic outside the VPN tunnel except the traffic of the white listed applications which goes inside the tunnel.

    Identical meaning for WireGuard, of course.

    Kind regards

    Hello!

    yes, we are going to seriously consider more bandwidth in New Zealand.

    Kind regards
     


    Hello!

    It took some more time to finalize an agreement, but now we can confirm that a 2nd server in New Zealand is imminent. Now it's up to the datacenter to connect it (a few business days might be needed), then we will test it and finally we will make it public. We have picked another datacenter for failover purposes, in due time let us know how it works. Follow the "News" forum or the "Status" page to see when the server is operational (we hope end of next week).

    Kind regards

    It might've been the Waveform link that got you there. It wasn't immediately clear to me whether they offered a speed test. I had to use a search engine to find it. I'll agree though that this board is a little too strict on the "no advertising" rule and should be relaxed.


    Moderators can be as much relaxed as you want, but linking a web site directly selling products will remain forbidden and ads will be removed regularly, even on relax mode.

    Kind regards

    After having reviewed the matter we see that you had absolutely no punishment for having advertised a company on the community forum by linking an e-commerce site for direct sales, so it's all in your fantasy. Moving this thread to off-topic and since you will not be opening any new topic on the forum we assume that you have understood fully that advertising any commercial service on the community forum is not allowed. We're also glad to know that your purpose is not advertising, but sometimes a message may be incoherent with the purpose.

    Kind regards
