just so mac users don't believe they are safe from this. according to ipleak site my firefox and chromium installations on OSX both leaked my IPs. just saying! Hello! Please provide at your convenience more info: OS X version, tested browsers in particular, thank you! Kind regards

EDIT: a deeper study of improperly called "WebRTC leak" has brought up how the initial approach by a wide part of communities discussing it has been totally wrong, has missed the core reasons and has proposed "solutions" which are questionable. Please see here to get a more balanced and informed view of the so called "problem". http://www.clodo.it/blog/an-alternative-approach-to-so-called-webrtc-leaks WARNING: the following post was written hours after "WebRTC leak" hit the news. It is now to be considered outdated. It is also inappropriate when it uses the word "vulnerability". However, the way to prevent applications to talk outside the tunnel is the same, enable Network Lock or set proper firewall rules. It is absolutely nothing new, just like the whole fabricated "WebRTC leak" affair. ============================================================================ Hello! Browsers supporting WebRTC run in a Windows-environment can seriously compromise the security of VPN-tunnels by allowing the true IP address of the user to be read. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebRTC#Concerns WebRTC is supported in the following browsers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebRTC#Support According to our tests we can at this moment confirm that Linux and OS X appear to be not affected. EDIT: OS X users please see here, according to this report OS X is vulnerable as well. https://airvpn.org/topic/13490-vpn-security-flaw-does-this-affect-airvpn/?do=findComment&comment=24757 You can test your system here: http://ipleak.net Windows users can fix the vulnerability in one of the following ways: - by enabling "Network Lock" in our free and open source client Eddie - by configuring a firewall to prevent leaks. In our "How-To" section we have guides for Comodo and Windows Firewall - by disabling WebRTC on the browser (WARNING: you can't do that in Google Chrome desktop edition, you'll need an extension). This page seems quite accurate https://www.browserleaks.com/webrtc#webrtc-disable EDIT: in the above linked page, the extension recommended for Chrome does not really prevent leaks - by running a browser which does not support WebRTC Kind regards AirVPN Support Team

Hello! When we have gathered all the data, we will make an announcement. In the meantime, last night we activated a check on ipleak.net pertaining to the issue. Note: only Windows systems with Firefox and Chrome with WebRTC peer connections enabled and Network Lock disabled seem to be affected so far, but we are still investigating. Kind regards

Hello, understood. This will need an investigation because the code pertaining to Network Lock activation/deactivation etc. has not been touched, so it must be something else... forwarded to developer. Kind regards

Hello! Tor socks proxy is requiring authorization for local connections. To fix the issue edit your torrc file (with any text editor) and replace the line: SocksPort 9150 with: SocksPort 9150 PreferSOCKSNoAuth Kind regards

Hello! Yes, and this is consistent with the described behavior (see our previous message). In your quoted steps you don't say that you shut down Eddie properly. If you do, then this not a behavior we can replicate, neither on 2.7 nor on 2.8, while if you simply shut down the system without closing Eddie first then this is expected behavior. Kind regards

Can you elaborate? Kind regards

"Network Lock" surviving the reboot means that Network Lock is active before Eddie is launched. This does not happen for a precise choice, as we explained repeatedly. About Network Lock remaining enabled and active after a reboot, this is the same both in Eddie 2.7 and Eddie 2.8. If Eddie was shut down properly Network Lock will remain in the same previous state (active or inactive). If Eddie was shut down improperly, Eddie will detect that and will disable Network Lock by purpose. Please post if you find different behavior. Kind regards

Hello! Please make sure that "Force DNS" is ticked in "AirVPN" -> "Preferences" -> "Advanced". Kind regards

Hello, your account subscription was already active when you wrote your message. IPN from PayPal usually takes 1-2 seconds. An eCheck need 3-5 working days to clear, but that was not your case. Thank you for your choice, enjoy our service. Kind regards

Hello! Network Lock does not survive a reboot in any version, including 2.7. Since Eddie is open source you can verify that the various plug-ins for Network Lock have not been touched from 2.7 to 2.8. So you're running the very same code and we do not have any explanation for your reported different behavior which are not reproducible in our testing systems. An optional and "permanent" Network Lock can be implemented and it might be a good or bad idea, we'll think about it. In the meantime, it is trivial to implement it yourself. Kind regards

Hello! Yes, it has been discussed in the past. It is a well known defamatory article reporting false information. Note how the features of various VPN services are inserted as a picture, probably to avoid indexing by search engines. Perhaps it was written by some desperate competitor. Kind regards

Hello! YesUp (as well as several other providers) does not provide the option to autonomously edit PTR. Kind regards

Hello, the first paste has been removed. About the second one, a problem is showed in this line: Mon Jan 26 09:42:55 2015 NOTE: FlushIpNetTable failed on interface [40] {C8CDFB48-32F6-4E17-9DFD-6E2BDAB09FEE} (status=5) : Access is denied. Make sure to run OpenVPN GUI with Administrator privileges. Kind regards

Hello! This is an expected behavior and a normal feature. In our opinion it's very logic, if not obvious. If Network Lock is inactive no traffic is blocked at all. Kind regards You guys are either joking with me or my english is absolutely horrible. Please, tell me with a yes or no: - Should Network Lock remain active when restarting the computer? Hello! NO.

Hello! We just tested again Air client Eddie 2.8.8 on Win 7 x64. Air client correctly disables Windows firewall notifications during network lock. Please: - open Windows Firewall control panel - send us a screenshotof the Windows Firewall control panel - activate Network Lock from Air client - again send us a screenshot of the Windows Firewall control panel - deactivate Network Lock from Air client - once again send us a screenshot of the Windows Firewall control panel You can also do that on a ticket if you prefer so for privacy reasons. Kind regards

Hello! Network Lock is explained here: https://airvpn.org/topic/12175-network-lock A warning note: if Network Lock survived a reboot, your dedicated or virtual server would risk to become inaccessible if at reboot OpenVPN, for any reason, failed to connect to some VPN server. In this case, if you didn't have physical access to your server, you would need an intervention from the datacenter technicians. There are other factors which make permanent modifications to your system dangerous. Until now, we have followed the philosophy to interfere with your system settings only while the client is running. If the client shuts down properly (but not if it is killed without grace, or if it crashes), or at reboot, all the previous systems settings are restored. In this way we do not interfere permanently with your system (a thing which can be very problematic in some cases) and at the same time we leave the freedom to implement a "permanent lock" as default setting which is restored when client shuts down or after a reboot. Kind regards

Hello, your account has no limitations or penalizations at all. A maximum of 3 simultaneous connections are possible with the same account (to different VPN servers to prevent conflicts) but even if you try additional, simultaneous connections, your account will not be locked out or penalized. The additional connections will simply be refused. So it looks like a problem on your side. Logs might provide some clues. Kind regards

Hello! Our DDNS service is reserved to VPN usage, so *.airdns.org names will resolve exclusively to some VPN server exit-IP address. When you don't specify a port in a browser, by default it tries port 80 for http and port 443 for https. That's why you need to specify the destination port. Kind regards

Hello! Thank you for your interest in AirVPN. Please allow 30 minutes - 48 hours for trial requests. If you're in a hurry you might like to use our 1 EUR plan (fully refundable). Kind regards

Hello! This is an expected behavior and a normal feature. In our opinion it's very logic, if not obvious. If Network Lock is inactive no traffic is blocked at all. Kind regards

Hello! Yes, it will be fixed soon. Kind regards

Hello! We just installed Mint 17.1 Rebecca with Mate desktop, installed the .deb edition, it works every time. We know that sometimes Eddie 2.7 hung at startup under Linux, but we can't reproduce the issue with 2.8 to investigate at the moment. Kind regards

Hello! We prefer at the moment CoinBase over BitPay. bitcoincodes.com did not order new coupon codes since a long ago. Kind regards
