AirVPN client in Linux (ubuntu) - Some questions
Staff replied to stupidcats's topic in Eddie - AirVPN Client
Hello! sudo can't be used to elevate privileges of a program in a graphic environment. The client can run in non-graphic mode but in this case you must specify "-cli" option. With ps ("ps ax | grep airvpn"), have a look at how you can run AirVPN client Eddie on your environment (after you have launched the client through your desktop manager launcher). Kind regards -
Hello! We're very glad to inform you that a new Eddie Air client version has been released: 2.4beta. Please read the changelogs: https://airvpn.org/services/changelog.php?software=client&format=html 2.4beta version is compatible with several Linux distributions. For very important notes about environments, please read here: https://airvpn.org/forum/35-client-software-platforms-environments Planned next steps: Network Leaks Protection implementation. It was not possible to implement it in this version, we apologize for the delay. The NLP feature is in advanced development and keeps highest priority, but in the meantime we preferred to optimize the release cycle and deploy a version with some bug fixes and new features and a re-compiled OpenVPN (see note below) for additional security and comfort. Eddie 2.4beta Linux can be downloaded here: https://airvpn.org/linux Eddie 2.4beta Windows can be downloaded here: https://airvpn.org/windows Eddie 2.4beta OS X can be downloaded here: https://airvpn.org/macosx PLEASE NOTE: Eddie packages now include an OpenVPN version re-compiled by us with OpenSSL 1.0.1i for security reasons and to fix this bug: https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/ticket/328 Eddie 2.4beta is free and open source software released under GPLv3 Kind regards & datalove AirVPN Staff

AirVPN client in Linux (ubuntu) - Some questions
Staff replied to stupidcats's topic in Eddie - AirVPN Client
Hello, Respectfully, I don't think your link helps me, as airvpn requires sudo.. As I said in OP, I already did what that link says, but it's not working. Hello! Of course your method fails. If you have already tried "ps" you will have already seen how to run AirVPN properly and elevate privileges in a graphical environment. If not, just look at how "AirVPN.exe" is run. Kind regards -
Hello, check out also Privacy Badger by Electronic Frontier Foundation (for Firefox and Chrome). We have not tested it but it looks very promising. It faces the challenging tracking problem with a completely different approach than various ad blocks, which are often powerless against tracking and anyway may have a questionable behavior. https://www.eff.org/privacybadger Kind regards

Traffic not routing through vpn tun0
Staff replied to gevero's topic in Troubleshooting and Problems
Hello! @gevero Besides the excellent suggestion by sheivoko, examine OpenVPN logs (feel free to post them), perhaps they might show precious clues for troubleshooting. Kind regards -
Hello! More and more web sites are correctly moving to TLS 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2 and also to more secure cipher than RC4 etc. A common cause of that error message is that your browser does not support some protocol. See here, it might help: https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20130128165026AAUeWrB Kind regards

Hello! We're glad to inform you that we're finalizing agreements for a 1 Gbit/s server in Singapore in a network neutral datacenter. Kind regards Welcome and happy news! Can you give an estimate of when it'll be ready for use? Hello! Right now: https://airvpn.org/topic/12063-new-1-gbits-server-available-antares-sg Enjoy! Kind regards

Hello! We're very glad to inform you that a new 1 Gbit/s server located in Singapore is available: Antares. The AirVPN client will show automatically the new server, while 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 server accepts connections on ports 53, 80, 443, 2018 UDP and TCP. Just like every other Air server, Antares 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! This guide can help you: http://askubuntu.com/questions/30931/how-do-i-make-a-program-auto-start-every-time-i-log-in You can find out the PIDs of the various airvpn processes with ps aux | grep airvpn Kind regards -
Hello! Eddie will never have a built-in firewall, this option has never been announced and not even wildly speculated. The leaks prevention is our highest priority but it could not be delivered as announced in the first half of August, it has been postponed to the beginning of September, with version 2.5. Eddie 2.4 has never been released on our web site, but it will be very soon. Kind regards

Hello! Hadar is working fine but if you don't see the "latency" time on the Status page maybe your system can't reach it. That time is calculated by your browser, it's the time your browser needs to connect via https to the VPN server and download a 1 byte file (so it's not a latency time, but it is very useful to perform a relative comparison between servers). Kind regards

Cannot Open Port via TCP (Despite Port Forwarding)
Staff replied to Admiral_Peanuts's topic in Troubleshooting and Problems
Hi, they can be TCP as well. uTorrent supports both. Maybe UDP is preferred when sending out packets (unsure about that)? Note: it is not possible to provide in a web site a fully reliable, working with any application UDP port checker for some technical reasons (consequence of the nature of UDP, connectionless), for that our port checker only tests in TCP. Kind regards -
Hello, you can find it here: https://airvpn.org/repository/1.8/air_windows_x86_64.zip https://airvpn.org/repository/1.8/air_windows_i686.zip https://airvpn.org/repository/1.8/air_windows8_x86_64.zip https://airvpn.org/repository/1.8/air_windows8_i686.zip Pick the correct one for your Windows version. Beware: the bundles include older OpenVPN versions. It will be interesting to see whether the old client solves the problem, feel free to keep us posted, thanks in advance. Kind regards

New payment gateways implemented: Avangate and Coinbase
Staff replied to Staff's topic in News and Announcement
Hello! We're glad to see that you removed defamatory contents in your post. This is false. Avangate requires that information only for suspect transactions and only if you can't provide the transaction ID. Remember that by contract and international agreements any seller has the full right to require exhibition of an official ID card for ANY credit card transaction and has the right to decline any transaction. This is also very important for an online service in order to prevent, as much as possible, frauds. If that does not satisfy you but you wish anyway to use our service, do not use Avangate as payment processor: pay with credit card through PayPal, or even better just use BitCoin, it's there exactly to provide a payment method with much higher privacy. Assuming that "who's" means "whose" the answer is no. Otherwise the sentence is not understandable so no answer can be given. Kind regards -
Hello! Could you post the logs? Kind regards

How Can I Forward Ports on my Router for *Any* AirVPN Server?
Staff replied to GreyGold's topic in Eddie - AirVPN Client
Hello! In your environment you must NOT forward ports on your router. Although Vuze is bound to tun, your description suggests that Vuze is exposing your real IP address through your physical interface. You should investigate this anomaly. Vuze must be working (forget about the trackers at the moment, they might block our VPN servers and anyway you don't need them) in the VPN without any forwarded port in the router. Kind regards -
Hello! We're sorry to inform you that we have received a communication from SoftLayer IBM (owner of the datacenter where we operate our servers in Singapore) telling us that we must block p2p protocols on the servers as a consequence of very few copyright complaints received. If we complied to this request we would prevent VoIP, BitCoin, BitTorrent and many other uses of the servers. This would be an unacceptable inconsistency for the the purposes of our services and a betrayal of a key part of our mission (no discrimination against any protocol, Net Neutrality preservation). Additionally, complying to such requests would silently encourage protocols discriminations and other detrimental practices for an open Internet. We are therefore planning to reject this request, cancel our business relationships with IBM and withdraw the servers in the Singapore datacenter. We are already working to find alternative, network neutral solutions in the Pacific Asia area (as you probably know we already operate a 1 Gbit/s server in Hong Kong), if possible in Singapore itself. Kind regards AirVPN Staff

How Can I Forward Ports on my Router for *Any* AirVPN Server?
Staff replied to GreyGold's topic in Eddie - AirVPN Client
Hello! Are you meaning that you run OpenVPN both on the DD-WRT router AND on your Windows system at the same time? We asked "We're assuming that you connect your router to a VPN server, not your devices, is this correct?", can you please answer? If you connect ONLY your Windows system (and not your router): no port forwarding is necessary on the router. The listening port of the torrent client must match the remotely forwarded port (i.e. one of the ports you have opened on your control panel in our web site). The port must not be remapped to a different local port (that's due to how BitTorrent clients work). Kind regards -
Hello, it is accessible from any Air server except Singapore ones. Strangely their web server blocks Singapore. Before posting in this forum you can check anytime an URL here: "Enter" -> "Checking routes" https://airvpn.org/routes Kind regards

Hello! You need to resolve server_name.airvpn.org You can see the server names in our real time monitor https://airvpn.org/status For example, to see the entry-IP address of Acrux: $ nslookup acrux.airvpn.org Server: 10.4.0.1 Address: 10.4.0.1#53 Non-authoritative answer: Name: acrux.airvpn.org Address: 37.48.81.12 or even $ dig @8.8.8.8 acrux.airvpn.org +short 37.48.81.12 Kind regards

How Can I Forward Ports on my Router for *Any* AirVPN Server?
Staff replied to GreyGold's topic in Eddie - AirVPN Client
Hello! You just don't care about the VPN IP in this case. That's the IP address that is DHCP-assigned by the VPN server to your DD-WRT router tun interface. The static IP address we were talking about are the IP addresses in your private network of the devices connected to the DD-WRT router, because those devices are behind the router NAT. We're assuming that you connect your router to a VPN server, not your devices, is this correct? Kind regards -
How Can I Forward Ports on my Router for *Any* AirVPN Server?
Staff replied to GreyGold's topic in Eddie - AirVPN Client
Hello! Yes. It will be easier if you keep the devices connected to your router with static IP addresses. Set a DNAT on the router with iptables according to our "How To" here: https://airvpn.org/topic/9270-how-to-forward-ports-in-dd-wrt-tomato-with-iptables/ Kind regards -
Hello! Actually, the mandatory installation on a system is the driver for the tun/tap interface (the virtual network card used by OpenVPN), with the exception of OS X Mavericks which implements a tun interface by default. Maybe you're running Eddie portable version? About Persei, it seems a problem that was related either to your node or your ISP, because we did not detect any problem on Persei, clients could connect successfully as usual and we did not change anything substantial in the last days (except for an upgrade of openssl and libssl). Glad to hear that it's solved anyway. Kind regards
