Hello! Probably they are overblocking. Actually one of us (who had never visited or even known that web site before) have tried from Italy, with an IP address from a big Italian ISP (a very normal residential line), and the site refused the connection as well. Kind regards

Hello! It was intentional. Kind regards

Hello! gbatemp.net actively blocks some of our servers (tested with some NL servers). They also block TOR nodes, some proxy etc. Maybe they have some interest in getting your real IP address or maybe they are just one of the many clowns that are enemies of privacy. Kind regards

Hello! We're very glad to inform you that a Dynamic DNS service is now available to all Premium members at no surcharge. The DDNS service lets you define up to 20 domain names to make the services running behind Air VPN servers more comfortably reachable, and keep a domain name persistent across all Air VPN servers. Please see here for every information: https://airvpn.org/topic/9314-what-is-dynamic-dns Kind regards and datalove AirVPN Admins

Hello! Are you running Viscosity to make OpenVPN connect over TOR? If so, there are some problems with Viscosity when it should direct OpenVPN to connect over a SOCKS proxy. You should use OpenVPN directly. Do not use Tunnelblick, it does not handle correctly connections over OpenVPN over a proxy. Kind regards

Hello! We're sorry, we don't follow you... the Air client has no installer. It is a stand alone, portable executable. Just put airvpn.exe wherever you like (for example in your Desktop). About the files generated by our configuration generator, once you have downloaded them you need only to paste them inside the OpenVPN configuration directory. Then launch OpenVPN GUI and the connections pertaining to those files will appear in the menu (right-click the OpenVPN GUI dock icon, two small monitors). Kind regards

Hello! Both bugs have been fixed. Kind regards

Synopsis This program, for Windows, Linux and OS X, opens a socket to listen or send packets to an address. It can be useful to debug the Port Forwarding with AirVPN. The IP list is automatically compiled from your interfaces. If you connect to a different server, refresh (the green icon) the list to view the new 10.* IP address.Using IP 0.0.0.0 and listening means listening on all interfaces.Each line in the log is a connection.The Send button sends a string with AirVPN text and the current date (RFC 822) to the specified address.If you use the Check button in AirVPN Port Forwarding page, you will see a line without 'IN' bytes and with 'TCP Closed' status. This is because our checking simply opens and closes a socket, without sending any data.

What is Dynamic DNS? "Dynamic DNS or DDNS is a method of updating, in real time, a Domain Name System (DNS) to point to a changing IP address on the Internet. This is used to provide a persistent domain name for a resource that may change location on the network." Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_DNS Premium Members can choose up to 20 names in their Forwarded Ports page, accessible from the left tabs of their "Client Area". Just for comfort, a name is associated to a forwarded port. When a Premium member connects to an Air VPN server, the .airdns.org DNS record is updated to the exit-IP address of that server. Therefore, be aware that this service may be unusable when you establish multiple connections to different servers from different devices with the same account (in such cases, you need to point directly to the exit-IP address of the server, or use some third-party DDNS which you manually set). This service can be useful when you need a domain name, which must be persistent across all Air VPN servers, for a service you need to run "behind Air VPN". For example: if you want to host a game server, you can communicate to the players the DNS name and freely switch Air VPN servers. Notes:TTL (Time-To-Live) is one hour. If you change VPN server, one hour may be needed before other users can resolve correctly your domain name. A longer time might be necessary: some public DNS (for example Google DNS) sometimes ignore TTL in their caching system.DNS are created or updated when a connection to an Air server is performed. They are deleted only if you disable the system (i.e. you delete the name from the forwarded ports panel). The latest IP address is NOT removed during disconnection or connection retry.

Hello! Yes, we have our own VPN DNS: 10.4.0.1 10.5.0.1 etc. (see also https://airvpn.org/specs) 10.4.0.1 is accessible regardless of the AirVPN server port your system connects to. Try to set: nameserver 10.4.0.1as first nameserver in your /etc/resolv.conf file. Also check how that "dns-fix" works, just in case it overwrites your /etc/resolv.conf. A more elegant solution is accepting the DNS push from our servers. For that you'll need to install resolvconf package (if available for your Linux distribution): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolvconf and add the following lines to your .ovpn configuration file(s): script-security 2 up /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf down /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf The script update-resolv-conf is provided in most OpenVPN packages, but if you don't have it you can just create it in the /etc/openvpn directory (watch out for permissions). The content of the script is attached in the text file below. Kind regards update-resolv-conf.content.txt

Hello! Both bugs confirmed, working on it as soon as possible. Kind regards

Hello! You might apply policy routing. It's not what you asked but it's very simple and it can achieve the same purpose if you have more than one computer connected to the router. You could reject the routes push from our servers (route-nopull directive) and then build your table according to the devices you want to be tunneled. So you could avoid tunneling for a computer dedicated to run a p2p client and a Usenet client (or whatever you do not wish to be tunneled). In the following thread, check out the message starting with "I finally did it" http://serverfault.com/questions/382498/howto-only-tunnel-specific-hosts-route-through-openvpn-client-on-tomato If the above does not meet your needs, splitting traffic on an outbound ports basis will be necessary (see the subsequent message in the very same thread). Kind regards

Hello! Can you please make sure that you have the correct version (in particular, 64 bit versions will not install on 32 bit systems)? What is your Windows version? If the installer fails and you are sure it has administrator privileges, try to launch manually the OpenVPN installer (with administrator privileges, as usual). The Air client, which is an OpenVPN wrapper/GUI, does not need any installation , but OpenVPN does (at least of the TUN/TAP adapter driver). Kind regards

Thanks! ipleak.net is run by us, do you like it? Kind regards

Hello! We beg to differ, this is very well explained in the welcome e-mail, in the forum (in something like dozens of threads) and in the How-To guide. A DNS leak is a typical Windows problem (the only OS which lacks the concept of global DNS), guides to fix it abound (please browse the forum, hint: look at this very same thread...), please see our external web site http://ipleaknet.net Suggested fix is once and for all, you don't need to re-apply it over. Kind regards

Hello! Problem should have been fixed now (two vicious, hidden bugs), can you please try again? Please feel free to report. Kind regards

Hello! There may be several reasons: the service expects UDP packets, the service does not reply within the timeout, the service is forcefully bound to the physical interface etc. Can you provide additional details about the service you have issues with? Kind regards

Hello! We're very glad to inform you that a new 100 Mbit/s server located in Portugal is available: Tureis. 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 "Member Area"->"Access without our client"). The server accepts connections on ports 53, 80, 443, 2018 UDP and TCP. Just like every other Air server, Tureis 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! It's not possible with JavaScript to reveal your real IP address. Please see https://airvpn.org/topic/9058-will-using-java-reveal-my-true-ip/?do=findComment&comment=9123 Kind regards

Hello! We do not block any web site. Omegle.com is accessible from our servers (just checked from NL servers), from which of our servers do you see the problem? Please see here for additional information: https://airvpn.org/forum/10-websites-support Kind regards

Hello! Inaccurate databases. Most services anyway correctly report the exit-IP of our California servers as located in California. Remember that IP geo-location databases are difficult to maintain and inaccuracy is normal. Kind regards

(Issue handled in the support ticket system)

Hello! Are TCP connections successful? If they are, please check that nothing is blocking openvpn.exe and airvpn.exe in your system. The connection is established successfully, according to the logs, but the Air client is unable to complete the checking successfully. Please try also OpenVPN GUI instead of the Air client. Also, even if the Air client remains stuck in "Checking..." do not disconnect. Instead, open a command prompt and send us the output of the following commands: ping airvpn.org ping 10.4.0.1 ping google.com Kind regards

Hello! Do you have resolvconf installed? Can you send us the content of your /etc/resolv.conf file? Kind regards

Hello! Please make sure that the service you wish to be reachable on your device is running and listening to the correct port when the test is performed. Also, test with canyouseeme may be misleading with UDP, it's better that you test your service reachability by yourself. Kind regards
