Hello! Yes, new 10 Gbit/s servers in the USA are planned according to userbase growth. If the current rhythm is maintained (but this is a big big if, in our business) you might see news on November. Kind regards

Hello! Unfortunately not: it is a WireGuard limitation, because the IP address is unique per key and bound to it. Only if you use a unique client key (and therefore IP address) for WireGuard profiles on each device and you don't need remote inbound port forwarding then you can connect multiple devices to the same server. Please see also https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/26209-how-to-manage-client-certificatekey-pairs/ Kind regards

Hello! Noted, thank you very much. It will be put under the attention of Eddie Android edition devs. Kind regards

In the meantime happy 10th anniversary! Kind regards

@20194 Hello! Yes, Eddie needs to access the "bootstrap" servers too. Anyway you can stick to WireGuard, as you say. Kind regards

@20194 Hello! Each VPN server has 4 entry-IP address. There are no domain names to obtain entry-IP addresses 2, 3 and 4 of a specific server, but only for countries or continents or all servers. You may consider to use the Configuration Generator or the API to get Xuange''s addresses only. For your comfort they are (v4 and v6, from 1 to 4): 79.142.69.159 2a00:7145:c1:1:d166:dd1b:2fa3:dbdb 79.142.69.161 2a00:7145:c1:1:6726:4916:97c9:c979 79.142.69.162 2a00:7145:c1:1:6838:aa89:d61c:fb42 79.142.69.163 2a00:7145:c1:1:c862:16de:4698:4c9d Kind regards

Hello! The Express VPN interface causes a critical error to OpenVPN: Tell Eddie to ignore any alien interface: Select from Eddie's main window Preferences > Networking, write eddie in the "VPN interface name" field click Save. You may also consider to switch to WireGuard to bypass the alien interface. You can do it in Preferences > Protocols window. Uncheck Automatic, select a WireGuard connection mode and click Save. Kind regards

Hello! Two different problems are reported in this thread for Eddie 2.23.1, can you specify which one you're experiencing as well as your Linux distribution please? Can you also confirm that you're running Eddie 2.23.1? Kind regards

Hello! We outline that we don't block the mentioned web site. It's the final service (the web server on imgsrc.ru) which sends the 403 message (forbidden access). The administrators have blocked some (but not all) of our VPN servers. Inside Amanah, some servers are still unblocked. See also: https://airvpn.org/routes/?q=https%3A%2F%2Fimgsrc.ru Kind regards

Hello! For the readers: the problem got solved after removing the character % from the username (initially, OP username contained it). Eddie Android edition developer is already aware of the issue for additional investigation. EDIT: bug detected, % is interpreted as a string formatting character. It will be fixed. In the meantime you may consider not to use % as a character in the username. Kind regards

Hello! For your purpose you can use screen or tmux - https://www.gnu.org/software/screen/ or https://www.howtogeek.com/671422/how-to-use-tmux-on-linux-and-why-its-better-than-screen/ They are both available in Ubuntu repositories. Kind regards

UPDATE 2023-AUG-28 A customer with Virgin Hub 5 reported very poor performance. The problem could be resolved by running WireGuard (or Eddie in WireGuard mode) and forcing a 1280 bytes MTU size. In this way the customer could almost saturate the peak bandwidth offered by Virgin. WireGuard's MTU size can be customized on Eddie 2.23.1 and higher versions, on "Preferences" > "WireGuard" window. Kind regards

Hello! Yes, it's mandatory and it is a direct consequence of the inner essence of the BitTorrent protocol. If no peer were reachable BitTorrent would not work at all, just like any other service on the Internet would cease to work if no node could be reached. Kind regards

Hello and welcome aboard! Remote port forwarding is a server side feature which is not affected by the software you run to connect. You can manage remote inbound ports for your clients in your AirVPN account control panel. Please check the documentation as well: https://airvpn.org/faq/port_forwarding/ Kind regards

Hello! Yes, if Eddie Desktop / Android edition can't download the manifest (a strictly necessary file which provides vital info such as server IP addresses) it will use (if available) the locally stored copy and then try to update it once the connection is established. Kind regards

Thank you very much for the report, can you please, when you have time, report this bug on the main Eddie 2.23.1 beta thread on the "News" forum? We're trying to gather all bug reports in one place, as we might be unable to read every single message of all the community forums. The thread is the following one: https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/56428-eddie-desktop-223-beta-released/ Kind regards

Hello! We did not want to imply that. IPsec is widespread and remains a protocol suite of paramount importance. Together with some tunneling protocol such as L2TP it also provides a variety of VPN solutions both in a host-to-host transport mode and in a network tunneling mode. Under many aspects, IPsec offers a variety of solutions which OpenVPN does not offer (WireGuard can not even be mentioned as it is too rudimentary). AirVPN does not need them, but they are very important for so many companies. Unfortunately, even nowadays, legitimate suspicions that IPsec was targeted by the Bullrun program suggest a very cautious approach to IPsec. AirVPN discarded IPsec in 2010 for legitimate suspicions which became more and more substantiated after Snowden's "revelations" (AirVPN predicting the risks of IPsec three years in advance was a mixture of careful inside considerations and luck/ability to select the correct rumors among the background noise in 2009 and 2010). See for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPsec#Alleged_NSA_interference Kind regards

Hello! Thank you for the suggestion. Flexible and useful filters are implemented in Eddie Android edition and the AirVPN Suite, but not in Eddie Desktop edition. Surely a recommendation which we will forward to Eddie Desktop developer, thanks. In the meantime you can consider to "white list" countries to make a first rough selection, and then white list servers inside those countries. Each list can be sorted by country or server name. Not exactly what you need but it's something comfortable anyway. Kind regards

It's difficult to know the whole story because Google is a major participant of the PRISM programs. NSA CIA and other analysts can anytime access all Google relevant database without court orders, so some technical solution might be picked to make life easier to let NSA, CIA analysts access Google based db and keep data consistency and veracity for each person regardless of Google VPN usage. Kind regards

Hello! Because only in this way you change VPN IP address, as already explained. Kind regards

Hello! We're very glad to hear that the suggestion by support team worked. We don't know for sure, and we can imagine three potential, alternative explanations: 1) All the bootstrap servers IP addresses have become known and they are blocked. Unlikely explanation: if you have tested our "secret" bootstrap servers, we think that T-Mobile can not know them. 2) The specific connection used by Eddie (HTTP) is blocked when the underlying payload is encrypted. Eddie encrypts data to the bootstrap servers and then sends them over plain HTTP: in the past it was a good method to bypass certain blocks. Of course data coming back are encrypted by the servers. 3) Direct access via HTTP(S) to IP addresses (in place of domain names) is blocked (not uncommon in various filter methods). To cross-check you may enter a name as secret bootstrap server (for example airvpn.org) in Eddie's Android edition settings. Kind regards

Hello! The paper re-launches the anti-censorship abilities of OpenVPN over SSH which we proposed 13 years ago! It had a filter rate of 0.32, the third best outcome in the world, very remarkable and putting AirVPN in the top 3 worldwide best filtering escaping VPN. As usual we anyway recommend Tor with private obfs bridges to reach filter rates next to 0. We have invested a lot on Tor and the solution is free for everyone. In Iran and Russia Tor obfs and private bridges are instrumental against blocks. Kind regards

Hello! From the support team in reply to a ticket mentioning this problem with T-Mobile: Kind regards

Hello! We have noticed only now that this thread contains ads for Azire. Please, at least do not link their promotional messages and press releases! Links now have been removed. The whole forum is meant to report first hand experiences from other VPNs freely but it's not meant to advertise them. Momentarily locking to re-consider the whole forum. Kind regards

Hello! If you read https://airvpn.org/road_to_openvpn26/ you will notice that the beta testing phase will end when DCO is stable. Current reported status is: ** NOTE ** ovpn-dco is currently under heavy development, therefore neither its userspace API nor the code itself is considered stable and may change radically over time. Under the condition of code 1) not stable and 2) subjected to radical changes it is not possible to consider the beta testing phase over. Kind regards
