Hello! Consider that the main Client Area page reports 3 IP addresses: the IP address of the VPN server you're connected to (VPN server entry-IP), the VPN server exit-IP address (i.e. the IP address your system is visible on the Internet IF there are not further tunnels), and the IP address that the server sees for your system connection, which may be your ISP IP address, if the system is connected directly, or not, if the system is connected over some other proxy or VPN etc. The airvpn.org web page, in the central bottom box, reports the IP address detected for your system by the web server. If it's red, the IP address is not one of the Air VPN servers exit-IP addresses: this implies either that your system is not tunneling traffic, OR that it's tunneling properly but the outgoing traffic is additionally tunneled, so that the web server sees the final exit-IP address of the node that's forwarding packets to the VPN server. Example 1: your system connects directly with OpenVPN, then (on the same system) you launch TOR and you browse to the web site with the TOR browser or any other browser configured to connect over TOR. The web site server will see the TOR exit-node IP address, and the central bottom box will be red (but this does NOT mean that your system is not connected to the VPN). The Client Area shows that the connection comes from your real IP address. Our servers can't see the traffic content of the applications configured to connect over TOR. Example 2: your system connects with OpenVPN over TOR. The web site server will see the VPN server exit-IP address and the central bottom box will be green. The Client Area shows that the connection comes from the TOR exit-node IP address. Our servers can't see your real IP address and all the TOR nodes can't see the traffic content of any of your applications (still/already encrypted by OpenVPN), EXCEPT those configured to connect over the same TOR proxy that OpenVPN is connected to. Kind regards

@rayban Hello! The "readme" of the page you linked claims that Asus RT-AC68U is a supported device. Also, that firmware build includes OpenVPN client and server, therefore, assuming that your router model is an RT-AC68U, you should have no problems to connect to our services. Instructions for Tomato might be a better reference than those for DD-WRT, in this case. Kind regards

Hello! Can you please send us the logs of an alleged connection? If you can't ping 10.4.0.1, chances are that either your system is not tunneling traffic or that the connection has not been established at all... Kind regards

Hello! Actually "VideoRanger" subscription expired some days ago. You can check anytime your account status by logging in the web site and clicking "Client Area" from the upper menu. Kind regards

Hello! If the log file is not generated, chances are that OpenVPN was not running at all, can you please check? Kind regards

Hello! The correct command is "ipconfig /all", you entered a wrong command, anyway from the route print we can see that something is wrong with the routing table. Can you please try a TCP/IP stack and Winsock reset, the reboot the computer? Please see here: http://bit.ly/12VTrhD Kind regards AirVPN Support Team

Hello! The TUN/TAP adapter (the virtual network interface used by OpenVPN) does not come up. Does it happen even with Comodo disabled? If so, please try a TCP/IP stack and Winsock resets, according to the following instructions: https://airvpn.org/topic/8320-solved-connects-but-ip-doesnt-change-on-windows-server-essentials-2012/?do=findComment&comment=8321 Kind regards

Hello, yes, just bind sshd to eth0 IP address. Kind regards

Hello! Please right-click on the Air tray icon and select "Logs". Click "Copy to clipboard" and paste into your message. Kind regards

Hello, can you please issue the following commands and send us the output? ping 10.4.0.1 ping google.com ping 8.8.8.8 Kind regards

Hello! Please try to add the directive log-append to generate a log file which can be very useful for troubleshooting (feel free to send the logs). Kind regards

Hello! The problem is here: 11/1/2013 - 7:16 PM There are no TAP-Windows adapters on this system. You should be able to create a TAP-Windows adapter by going to Start -> All Programs -> OpenVPN -> Add a new TAP-Windows virtual ethernet adapter. Maybe the driver of the tun/tap adapter (the virtual network card used by OpenVPN) has been removed or something went wrong during installation. Can you please try to install an adapter via the dedicated script? Make sure to execute it with administrator privileges (right-click and select "Run as administrator"). Contrarily to what the logs display (a glitch in OpenVPN 2.3.x which should be fixed in the next release), in OpenVPN 2.3.2 the script to add TAP devices can be found at Start -> Programs -> TAP-Windows -> Utilities. Kind regards

Hello, The Air client initially needs to contact airvpn.org to download the servers list. Tracing the route shows that your system correctly resolves and reaches airvpn.org. Therefore, it is probable that some program (a firewall or an antivirus) is blocking airvpn.exe, can you please check? Kind regards

Hello, if everything else fails and you can't use Bitcoin, please feel free to contact us to arrange a bank transfer (menu "Contact us" from the top menu, department "Sales"). From now on we'll be accepting bank transfers for 1 year subscriptions. Kind regards

Hello! Access to the Configuration Generator is reserved to accounts with a subscription, can you please check your account status? Kind regards

Hello! Can you please send us the client logs taken after a connection has been (allegedly) established? Kind regards

Hello! Yes, it looks like a bug. Thank you for your feedback, we will send the information to the client programmer to have it fixed. In the meantime you can connect through OpenVPN, OpenVPN GUI or any other OpenVPN wrapper. Our Configuration Generator will prepare all the files you need (menu "Client Area"->"Config generator"). Kind regards

Hello, please forward a port, if you haven't already done so: https://airvpn.org/topic/9170-do-you-allow-p2p-how-can-i-optimize-performance-of-emule-and-bittorrent-with-airvpn Also, make sure that DHT is enabled in your torrent client. Kind regards

Hello! Can you please check whether it's a DNS issue? Please try the following commands (while the system is connected to a VPN server) from a command prompt with administrator privileges and send us the output: ipconfig /flushdns ping 10.4.0.1 ping google.com ping 8.8.8.8 Kind regards AirVPN Support Team

Hello! Can you please try to connect with the OpenVPN GUI, or with OpenVPN directly? It seems there's a problem during the check performed by the Air client, while the connection logs are fine. Kind regards

Hello! Just in case you'll need in the future to accept the DNS push from our servers on a Linux system with resolvconf (or openresolv), please see our guide: https://airvpn.org/topic/9608-how-to-accept-dns-push-on-linux-systems-with-resolvconf/ Kind regards

Hello! Your concerns about OpenVPN are probably based on a basic and huge misunderstanding. AirVPN is based on OpenVPN, a free and open source software by James Yonan and subsequently developed by OpenVPN Project and by OpenVPN Tehcnologies Inc. OpenVPN has been and is continuously peer-reviewed and tested by some of the best cryptography experts in the world and by a very vast community with members from all over the world, together with OpenSSL (and PolarSSL, which might become relevant in the near future). AirVPN does not use any server, machine or infrastructure, does not employ any technician or any personnel from OpenVPN Technologies Inc. and does not exchange any data with OpenVPN Technologies Inc. The fact that the software (which AirVPN uses without tweaks or anyway modifications from the source code) is open source is an invaluable advantage for deeper examinations and analysis. It is well known that OpenVPN is considered by thousands of experts, gurus and competent persons alike one of the best, if not THE best, VPN solution under a security and flexibility point of view. Please see here for a nice overview: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Openvpn Kind regards

Hello! We confirm you that your ISP can't discern the type of virtualized OS (Whonix or any other) you're running with your setup. Kind regards

Hello! Our NL servers are spread mainly across 2 of the 4 Leaseweb datacenters in the Netherlands. Kind regards

Hello! Please try to connect to different servers and ports. In particular, test port 53 UDP and 80 TCP. Kind regards
