You need to activate your account, with the free coupons which can be found on Twitter: https://twitter.com/airvpn or asking for free access to us: menu "Support"-->"Contact us" (please do not ask in the forum). Just a couple of notes: priority for free access goes to activists who operate in freedom of expression hostile countries; what's more, free accesses are given according to slots and bandwidth availability, in order not to impact on guaranteed bandwidth for premium members (and in order to fight scammers), since we offer the unique feature to guarantee an allocated bandwidth according to our Terms of Service. Kind regards AirVPN admins

unknownman wrote: Hello! Please make sure that you have activated your account (clicking on "Payment Plans" and either inserting the free coupon code or paying the premium membership). If you already did so: please try and connect with the OpenVPN client instead of AirVPN client. Logs are located in the OpenVPN logs directory. A probable path under Windows 7 is C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenVPN\log Do not hesitate to open a ticket or to use "Support"-->"Contact us" menu for further assistance. Please attach the full OpenVPN connection log. Kind regards AirVPN admins

Hello! We have just added a new server to our infrastructure: Omicron. It is located in an excellent datacenter (like Altair) and has a German IP. It adds a full 100 Mbit/s bandwidth capacity to our servers pool without any traffic limitation. Omicron accepts connections on port 53, 80, and 443 (TCP and UDP). Users with high traffic demand (hundreds of GB or even several TB per month) are kindly advised to give priority connection to this server. Due to its CPU and RAM capacity, Omicron is able to support hundreds of simultaneous connections in case of need. As usual, and according to our policy, we don't force any bandwidth or traffic limitation and we respect our commitment to provide a guaranteed allocated bandwidth under any circumstance. You can pick Omicron connection either through AirVPN client or through our configuration generator right now. Kind regards AirVPN admins

Hello! Altair, the Netherlands server, is going down now for scheduled maintenance. Planned intervention time: several hours. Please connect to Polaris and Sigma in the meantime. Thank you! Kind regards AirVPN admins

Hello! Those who have received repeatedly free coupons (2-3 times in a row) will have to wait a little more. Please be patient, and don't forget to catch the codes from Twitter. Important: if you're an activist in a freedom of expression hostile regime, you can jump at once queues. Kind regards AirVPN admins

However, in the meantime, please consider that airvpn client is NOT necessary to connect to the VPN. Please connect directly with OpenVPN client (see "Member"-->"Access without our client"). Kind regards AirVPN admins

sr71pyr0 wrote: Hello! You understand correctly and in that case there is no need to use airvpn.exe in the nodes behind the router since we provide everything the OpenVPN client needs (be it in a router or in any os): certificate, key and configuration files. It is very easy to switch between various configurations, since you can generate as many of them as you wish and rename them according to your needs, so that you can jump from one server/port to another easily and quickly. Network efficiency and load balance for the nodes behind your router will depend uniquely on your router itself. Our VPN server will see and serve just one node, with the bandwidth guaranteed for a single account. Kind regards AirVPN admins

Neo619 wrote: Hello! Perhaps your ISP has a better peering with Germany than USA or Netherlands? There's a lot of bw free both on Altair and Sigma. That said, do not hesitate to use Polaris, of course, if it can give better performance to you; decentralization has also this nice side effect. Kind regards AirVPN admins

tommy83 wrote: Hello! Yes, correct. You don't need to install OpenVPN client on every node. With this configuration, remember that the connection between the router and your home nodes will not be encrypted by OpenVPN, of course (this is relevant only if you use the router with WiFi and no or low encryption - force WPA2). Kind regards AirVPN admins

tommy83 wrote: Hello! Yes, it is possible. From us you need configuration, certificate and key files. You can download them all through our generator, when you're premium member ("Member"-->"Access without our client"). After that, a good reference guide is here (check your DD-WRT version, though): http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/VPN_%28the_easy_way%29_v24%2B Kind regards AirVPN admins

Hello! In our search for safe payment methods we have found something which promises to meet both our expectations and privacy requirements, BitCoin. www.bitcoin.org We wish to experiment with it. We have just prepared a limited amount of 3-months activations reserved to BitCoin payments. Those who don\'t want to make a transaction with PayPal or AlertPay can have 3 months premium membership for 26 BitCoins. If there is interest and if everything works swiftly on our side (there are no risks for the customers in this phase anyway) we will consider to put BitCoin as another payment method by default. Do not hesitate to contact us in private for all the details (menu \"Support\"-->\"Contact us\"). Kind regards AirVPN admins

tommy83 wrote: Hello! You are definately on-topic. Thank you for pointing out this important issue. We keep account data and payment data strictly separated and unrelated. However, an (international) court order may force PayPal or AlertPay to reveal transactions and with a deep investigation a correlation is, although difficult, theoretically not impossible. Such orders are issued for serious crimes. We don't want, obviously, aid such crimes. In particular, referring to our Terms of Service, any violation of the European Convention on Human Rights is strictly forbidden and we will cooperate with competent authorities in case of such violations, should we become aware of them as a consequence of competent authorities warning - significant examples are human trafficking and child abuse material dissemination. That said, we must however keep in mind some grim considerations, according to which big corporations or repressive governments may bring on legal or illegal actions in order to suffucate freedom of expression and the right to access and disseminate knowledge, culture and information. Although such actions may hardly win after a fair and due process, they could cause consequences out of the control of any proper judicial overview (just imagine, for example, retaliations of repressive regimes or organized crime against a blogger or against any source of information whose identity is disclosed). One of the aims of our service is to protect our customers and more in general the citizens of the world from those threats. Therefore, we have been studying various systems. Unfortunately the forms of payments that we have been evaluating have unacceptable conditions for us.
