Hello, none of them. Kind regards

TrueCrypt has been tested in real life powerful attacks and has never been defeated according to available information, remember Operation Satyagraha. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/06/28/brazil_banker_crypto_lock_out/ About some comments on the thread... the source code of TrueCrypt is available. You can't say it's free, given its license, but the source code is regularly available. Of course obtaining an executable file bit-by-bit identical to the distributed packages is practically impossible, but that's a different problem. Also, it is false that TrueCrypt is not currently developed. Wikipedia has an article which provides a balanced overview on TrueCrypt and includes several, important reference notes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truecrypt#Licensing_and_Open_Source_status Kind regards

Hello, migration completed successfully as far as we can see. We're sorry for the inconvenience, and we are quite disappointed that a provider announces such an important procedure with just a few hours pre-warning. Kind regards

Hello, maybe some system process is sending a lot of data on the internal network or to the machine itself, or it is a bug. Would you be able to detect if there's any application causing the spike? Kind regards

Hello, it is normal, Comodo counts all the traffic on every single interface as a percentage of the global traffic on all of them. uTorrent does generate traffic, of course, on the tun interface (the virtual network card used by OpenVPN). If the uTorrent percentage were higher than the openvpn.exe percentage, then there would be something wrong: since all the traffic must be tunneled, the traffic percentage of each single process must never exceed the openvpn.exe traffic percentage (the traffic of each process is ALSO traffic for openvpn.exe). Anyway, for additional security, can you please perform this test: http://checkmytorrentip.com/ and make sure that your real IP address (the IP address assigned to you by your ISP) never shows up? Kind regards AirVPN Support Team

Hello, we have read that "review". We reserve the right to reply, therefore our comments follow. That's not exact. You fail to mention that iVPN is a VPN service competitor. False, Air is based in Italy as clearly stated in the Privacy Notice. False: "These data are not collected to identify, through elaboration or any other technique" has an unequivocal legal meaning in the EU. It means that personal data, including IP addresses (regardless of the debate whether an IP address is a personal data or not), are not collected at all and in any way. Therefore not only we legally state that they are not stored when a client accesses a VPN service, but we also say that they are not even sent to third-parties WHILE a client is connected to a VPN server, which is a higher privacy condition. It seems, to say the least, bizarre that a higher privacy protection policy is interpreted as a lower one. Once again, the sentence has a very precise legal meaning in the EU. The service is erogated when a client is connected, therefore when a client is disconnected the service is not erogated, ergo when a client disconnects those data are no more on the servers and the data retention period is, in the worst case, the timeout period (up to 60 seconds), in the best case 0 seconds. False. The Privacy Notice states, since three years ago: And also: This fact alone shows that iVPN either did not even read our documents, or the writer(s) voluntarily lied. Additionally, we don't need to cite ads or affiliates because: we have no ads and we don't plan to host any ad; and affiliates (if any) are totally separated from the system and can't access in any way any personal data, according to our Privacy Notice (see again above: data are not transmitted to third parties). That's true and IT MUST BE SO. We will never mention how we "respond" to laws that are outside our jurisdiction and that are therefore inapplicable, simply because we are not forced to and we MUST NOT comply (and of course we must not even "respond") to such laws. An USA Act "has jurisdiction" on the USA. We are not subject to every single law existing in the world and we will NEVER mention them as if we recognized their validity. Doing so would imply an utter incompetence on the legal field. Ironically, we would like to ask to iVPN staff why they do not state in their policy how they "respond" to every single law in the world which makes VPN business illegal. Broken English or illiterate iVPN reviewer? We recommend iVPN people to open a dictionary, for example the Webster dictionary, and search for "erogate", which means "give, lay out, provide, deal out". And about you, centerc3290=@3, why don't you actually read our Tos and Privacy Notice, instead of relying on a COMPETITOR review, spreading it as a review "from IT professionals"? Use your own brain! Kind regards

Hello, we're sorry, your web interface lacks the correct cipher. Kind regards

Hello, we have just been informed that Bootis and Cassiopeia will be migrated to a new datacenter. Migration will start at 10 PM GMT+1 28 Jun 2013. Unfortunately the provider informed us only a few minutes ago about this migration. IP addresses will not change. Scheduled downtime is 4 hours. If you need a UK server, we strongly recommend that you switch as soon as possible to Carinae or Nashira, in order to avoid unexpected disconnections. Kind regards

Hello! We're very glad to inform you that a new 100 Mbit/s server located in Spain is available: Sador. 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, Sador 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, we're glad to inform you that a new payment processor is available: Authorize.net, by CyberSource, a VISA company. Air is an Authorize.net verified merchant. The processor accepts VISA, MasterCard and JBC credit cards, including prepaid cards. Privacy and security notice: we never come to know your credit card number. The transaction core is handled by Authorize servers in compliance to Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). Kind regards

Hello, problem solved at the moment. Remember to use mirrors (there are really many) whenever possible in order not to overload their main web site. Kind regards

Hello, does the VPN connection drop only when you use a torrent client? If the problem occurs only when you launch a torrent client it might be that a firewall or an "Internet security suite" drop the packets when it sees "excessive" UDP traffic, assuming wrongly it's an UDP flood attack. We have seen this behavior several times with various Windows "security tools", because when the system is connected over UDP, all the incoming and outgoing traffic is encapsulated within UDP. When you launch a torrent client, the UDP traffic volume may increase considerably, triggering the block. First try to momentarily disable firewall and any traffic inspection/packet filtering tool completely (if any) on the router and on the computer and test again. Kind regards

New version 1.3 released, minor changes. - [bugfix] UDP improvement - [change] Message improvement - [bugfix] Support of domain name in IP field Thanks jessez, first post has been updated. Kind regards

Hello! A. Yes B. Yes Note: in this case you can use UDP as well for OpenVPN. The fact that a socks proxy does not support UDP is irrelevant, because it's TOR over OpenVPN, not OpenVPN over TOR (in which case yes, TCP would be mandatory). Kind regards

Hello amir4g, please contact us in private to bypass the web site block. Write to support(at)airvpn(dot)org Kind regards

NOTE: if you run Eddie or Hummingbird you don't need this guide, but you might need to get rid of update-systemd-resolved which, in one of its various working modes, can interfere fatally with DNS handling. This post describes how to accept OpenVPN servers DNS push on Linux, OpenBSD, FreeBSD and some other POSIX-compliant OS when: resolvconf package OR openresolv package is installed OpenVPN is run directly (i.e. NOT through any OpenVPN GUI/wrapper such as network-manager) OpenVPN version is 2.1 or higher Warning: the specified "update-resolv-conf" script path refers to many Linux distributions and OpenVPN package installation, but NOT to all of them. Please check the correct path of the mentioned file before proceeding (for example: it could be /usr/share/openvpn instead of /etc/openvpn). If the script is not on your system, you'll need to create it. See the typical script here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OpenVPN#DNS Important: in the same above linked page, note that if you have a system based on systemd you might need some important modifications: Add to your OpenVPN configuration file(s), either in field "Custom Directives" of the Configuration Generator or by editing the configuration directly, the following lines: script-security 2 up /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf down /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf In this way update-resolv-conf will record the DNS push and through resolvconf or openresolv will modify the nameserver accordingly. When OpenVPN quits, update-resolv-conf restores the previous nameserver line(s). Kind regards

Hello, all those IP addresses are airvpn.org public frontend servers. They are all on-sync, in real time. Kind regards

Thank you. In case you have VISA, MasterCard or JCB credit cards and you have issues with PayPal, you can just use your credit card, no PayPal need at all. Kind regards

Hello, you can, that's not a problem at all. PayPal will perform automatic currency conversion. You can also pay via credit card (VISA - MasterCard - JCB). Credit card issuer company will perform automatic currency conversion. Kind regards

Hello, no, sorry, but PayPal will perform automatic currency conversion. Kind regards

Hello jaypathora, you're connecting your system over OpenVPN over TOR. Kind regards

Hello, Tunnelblick does not support connections over SSL or over a proxy (Tunnelblick is not a wrapper that supports all the OpenVPN features). Please follow this guide: https://airvpn.org/ssl Do not hesitate to contact us for any issue or information. Kind regards

Hello! Not with the current client, because TLS 1.2 is supported only since .NET framework 4.5. However, with regards to BEAST, CRIME, Lucky Thirteen and various BEAST-dubbed attacks & exploits, this does not appear relevant, because such attacks rely on cookies and javascript (one of the key of the attack is decrypting a session cookie with a relatively low number of attempts; the number of attempts is still quite high for a single session, so the attack is dubbed for example with javascript, to open many multiple sessions), which are not used by the client. The most-successful known attacks against TLS 1.0 require at least 2-3 minutes to be completed, and the client not only will not open a myriad of sessions, but it will also timeout well in advance. The next client release for Windows, Linux and OS X will be under GPL so you will be able to examine the source code. About OpenVPN, the original message by James Yonan stands: Yonan went straight to the roots, without even having the need to consider all the browsers features, side-support web sites, injection etc. required to BEAST and CRIME to have a hope to succeed, to which OpenVPN is not "vulnerable". Feel free anyway to add your considerations, and remember that we do not and we will never force to use our proprietary clients to connect to Air VPN servers. Kind regards

Hello, TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 are now available also on the primary frontend server airvpn.org (95.211.138.143). All ciphers are supported, AES-256 included. Kind regards
