@devnullius Hello and thank you for your inquiry. This is not a "free" (as in free beer) initiative, since we do have commercial plans as you probably know. Anyway we offer a free server dedicated to all those who want to test the service to check if connection is possible (not to check speed) before becoming premium members. However, please note that we don't ensure any service, assistance or bandwidth on the free server, just take it "as it is". Its purpose is to test if connection is possible from your system before subscribing and, last but not least, to give a tool to those who need encryption and censorship circumvention and can't afford to become premium members. What's more, please note that anyone on the free server has limited bandwidth. About latency and your issue, this is the first time we hear about this problem after so many months, so a further investigation is needed (it might be caused by several different reasons, including some not related to our system). Feel free to open a ticket. Kind regards AirVPN admins

rokyn wrote: Hello! We're glad to hear that you solved the problem. As a matter of fact, it is important that you connect to premium server(s) when you have paid for them: free servers are meant for non-premium members and your bandwidth will be limited even if you are premium when you connect to them. Obviously only premium members can connect to premium servers. We picked this solution to optimize performance for premium members and in order to be able to guarantee an high allocated bandwidth to them. That said, protection of user.key is very important. You might consider to keep all the keys and config files encrypted, if you are afraid that someone might gain unauthorized access to your computer. Tools like TrueCrypt are excellent, as long as you never leave your partition/files unencrypted while the computer is unattended. http://www.truecrypt.org/ Kind regards AirVPN admins

goftari wrote: Hello! Understood. Therefore, http tunneling becomes necessary. Maybe we'll consider it in the near future. Also, have a look here for AirVPN over TOR, which can circumvent that censorship (picking unlisted TOR nodes is necessary if TOR is blocked in your country): https://airvpn.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=64&Itemid=122 Kind regards AirVPN admins

The very fact that you can write in this forum and can access this site (which are entirely https) shows that TLS connections are not blocked by your ISP or gov't. If it still does not work, it will be necessary to perform http tunneling. Kind regards AirVPN admins

@Shamshir They accept your credit card, as far as we know. Pick your favourite membership type and send to info@airvpn.org Drop us a line for further confirmation (select "Contact us" option) or just state the reason of the payment at AlertPay (so that it can be linked to the account you want to be activated as premium).

HugeHedon wrote: Hello! Because of the behaviour held by PayPal toward WikiLeaks what you say has its very good reasons. We will be discussing the issues related to PayPal in a meeting at the beginning of next year. The account on AlertPay is info@airvpn.org. You can just transfer money to that, specifying the account you want to be "premium" (you can specify that during the payment or by writing to us using "Contact Us" tool). Your account will be activated as "premium" in a very short time. In the near future, as soon as we finish the necessary bureaucratic procedures, we are going to insert AlertPay in our automated payment system. Both PayPal and AlertPay charge no fees on the buyers. For the seller, PayPal fees are slightly cheaper. Kind regards AirVPN admins

Hello! Currently we don't accept Ukash payment. What about AlertPay? Would it work for you? Downloading in premium account is NOT limited. 4 Mbit/s is the MINIMUM guaranteed allocated bandwidth, there's no upper limit. Kind regards AirVPN admins

Hello! Please keep in mind that free service does not guarantee any bandwidth. That said, please try using port 80 TCP or port 53 UDP and TCP to bypass (if any) ISPs restrictions. Kind regards AirVPN admins

Hello! New client 0.7 is available.

For any request, please use the "Contact us" option (with a valid e-mail address), we'll be glad to meet your needs. Thank you! Kind regards AirVPN admins

Hello! AirVPN is looking for resellers. Thanks to coupon (voucher), it's very easy to become a reseller. A reseller buys a quantity of coupons, and then he or she is completely free to sell those coupons in the way and at the price he or she prefers. A coupon is simply a code which can be delivered very easily. The final customer can activate the coupon bought from the reseller with a few clicks. The reseller will have continued support and assistance and full protection against frauds and refund requirements. Currently we have plans for resellers starting from 20 coupons. If you're interested, contact us at once at the following address: info(at)airvpn.org Thank you! AirVPN

Buying higher volumes of subscriptions and/or become a reseller allows to have lower prices. Just select "Support"-->"Contact us" and drop us a message. Kind regards AirVPN admins

batuzai12304 wrote: Hello! If you are a beta tester since June or if you have posted useful posts (guides, hints, bugs...) in the forum, ask for free premium coupon by selecting "Contact us". Coupons are a way to say thank you to those who have used our service for several months and have helped to improve it. They are not a tool to experiment "the new speed": all the users have already experienced the high performance of AirVPN since June. Remember that commercial plans are the only way to keep AirVPN project sustainable. This project is unique in that it combines several features that you can't find anywhere in the world, just to make a few examples: no overselling, transparent bandwidth allocation, real time monitoring (open to ALL users) of servers load to check that our promises are true, full compliance to EU legal framework on data protection and privacy. Therefore, please evaluate our aggressive membership plans (15 € for 3 months). Kind regards AirVPN admins

Hello! We have performed a reset of port forwarding of all accounts. Please check the numbers of the ports you have forwarded (menu "Member"-->"Forwarded ports") after that and if necessary re-select them. Kind regards AirVPN admins
