Hello! We see two different problems. The first one is caused by OpenVPN: apparently it has been built with an hard coded wrong path to ip: . 2022.11.13 16:34:09 - OpenVPN > /bin/ip link set dev tun0 up mtu 1500 . 2022.11.13 16:34:09 - OpenVPN > Linux ip link set failed: could not execute external program . 2022.11.13 16:34:09 - OpenVPN > Exiting due to fatal error As we can see from what Eddie log entries, you have ip in /usr/sbin. Eddie locates and runs it successfully, for example: . 2022.11.13 16:34:09 - Elevated: Exec, path:'/usr/sbin/ip', arg:'-4', arg:'route', arg:'show', exit:0, out:'default via 192.168.0.254 dev enp5s0 proto dhcp metric 100 Please create a symbolic link from /bin/ip to /usr/sbin/ip, or copy the ip file in /bin too, so the first problem will be resolved. Then, another problem is visible: W 2022.11.13 16:34:09 - Unexpected: Network interface unknown - Stack: at Eddie.Core.ConnectionTypes.IConnectionType.SearchTunNetworkInterfaceByName (System.String id) [0x00066] in <2af199c257ac4ca1aad2d2fb8c81a0e5>:0 W 2022.11.13 16:34:09 - at Eddie.Core.ConnectionTypes.OpenVPN.OnLogEvent (System.String source, System.String message) [0x00726] in <2af199c257ac4ca1aad2d2fb8c81a0e5>:0 W 2022.11.13 16:34:09 - at Eddie.Core.Session.ProcessLogEvent (System.String source, System.String message) [0x00014] in <2af199c257ac4ca1aad2d2fb8c81a0e5>:0 This might be a critical problem as well (try again anyway when you have solved the 1st problem). If the problem persists or any other issue comes out, can you send us a system report generated by Eddie, to let us can check various settings, including network interfaces? Kind regards

Hello! Thank you very much for your review. Normally we do not comment reviews, but please allow us just a quick "interference" pertaining to the software development. A lot has been done in the last years under this respect. Eddie Desktop edition backend is written in C++ (that's why you see it quite fast even in Linux or Mac), while AirVPN Suite for Linux and Hummingbird for Mac are natively built on their respective systems and written in C/C++. The OpenVPN3-AirVPN library never relied on C#, ça va sans dire, Eddie Android app also got rid of C# since the early beginning and even the ancient 1.0 version was Mono-free.. The only C# leftover is the Eddie Desktop graphical interface at the moment, and even this last one might drop C# in the future. Kind regards

@mamegoma It was a 2021 beta which is still there, as you can see from the date, only for those subscribed to beta testing phases. We will remove it even from beta testers as we see it causes confusion, thanks. Kind regards

Yup i have verified and it is indeed the correct hash. Also by the way, the application on the play store is misspelt. i believe its missing "N" for the beta version. Hello! Eddie 3 beta versions are not available on the play store, can you please elaborate? Kind regards

Hello! That's expected (unfortunately) because of the reported bug which has been addressed in Eddie 2.22.2. Please test Eddie 2.22.2 and check whether the problem has been sorted out. To download Eddie 2.22.2 in the usual download page select "Other versions" then click "Experimental". You will be brought back to the download page, pointing this time to 2.22.2. Download and install as usual. Kind regards

Hello! Reference for readers on the pinned topic here: https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/53004-openssl-error-restart-every-3-seconds/?do=findComment&comment=187787 Kind regards

Hello! Please check the APK SHA based signature (published in this thread 1st message) carefully to confirm that it's a false positive. Kind regards

Hello! We're very glad to inform you that Eddie Android edition 3.0 Beta 4 is now available. The original post has been updated accordingly. New in Beta 4: Improved management of WireGuard in Android 13 to resolve a WireGuard issue related to system network changes The mentioned issue has been found out by community testers and other persons using the official WireGuard client with any VPN service only in some Android 13 kernel releases. The implemented modification aims at resolving the problem at its root by having WireGuard re-connect every time the device records a network change, provided that "Always on VPN" and "Block connections without VPN" Android settings, as well as "VPN reconnection" Eddie option, are all enabled. Find full description, download link and SHA256 signature in the first post of this very thread. Thank you very much for your tests and please report and describe any bug you find! Kind regards

Hello! Please open a command prompt and run the rmdir command: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/rmdir Make sure to enforce /s option and type the directory name between double quotes (because a space is in the path name). Therefore: rmdir /s "absolute path and name here" Finally (re)install Eddie. Kind regards

Problem solved, it was not related to Starlink or AirVPN, but to client settings. We also have a line with Starlink in Italy and VPN traffic doesn't seem shaped. Of course consider the higher than landline latency, anyway not as high as the ones you get with old style satellite links because of low Earth orbit satellites. Kind regards

Thank you, we're glad to know that the problem is resolved! About the "latency tests", half an hour is not normal. The long time is probably caused by a bug affecting various Eddie versions. The problem has been addressed in latest Eddie 2.22.2, feel free to test it and check whether the problem has been sorted out or not. To download it, in the usual download page for your system click "Other version", select "Experimental" and you will be brought back to the download page, pointing this time to 2.22.2. Download and install as usual. Kind regards

Hello! If necessary, you might consider to revert back to Eddie Network Lock, by disabling Comodo when you need to use the VPN with Network Lock. Eddie will enforce WFP rules to prevent any type of traffic leak outside the VPN tunnel. When you shut down Eddie remember to re-enable Comodo. A second quick and easy procedure which might come handy is binding the torrent software to the tun/tap interface, if you decide to keep Comodo enabled and experiment with rules. Bind options are nowadays available is various torrent programs. In this way if you make any mistake with Comodo rules, the binding of the torrent software will ensure that, at least for the torrent traffic, you will have no leaks even in case of unexpected disconnection. If you need testing your rules and binding in real time, ipleak.net may test your torrent traffic too and it will tell you the IP address it sees your torrent traffic coming from (ipleak.net offers a specific option to do so). Kind regards

@Blasio @Tanchingis Hello! You have both renewed your client certificate recently. Each time you renew your client key and certificate in your account "Devices" panel you need to log your account out and in again from Eddie main window (uncheck "Remember me" to be sure that Eddie really resets the credentials), as you might have read in the instructions. In this way you force Eddie to download the new pairs. If Eddie via OpenVPN sends an expired certificate you will get AUTH_FAILED from the VPN server, and not from the infrastructure, so no message is visible in the Client Area, in spite of the wrong suggestion by Eddie, we're sorry. Kind regards

@Vekh Hello! The poor performance you experience is not caused by Air VPN in itself.. The fact that OpenVPN over SSH helps a bit proves that you are suffering traffic shaping or maybe some technical issue related to MTU size, because OpenVPN over SSH on an agnostic network is remarkably slower than any direct connection mode. You may see from our servers monitor that many users enjoy up to 40 times the minimum guaranteed bandwidth allocated per user by our ToS commitments. Traffic shaping may be self-inflicted (for example if you have uTP enabled in your torrent software, or you have some filtering tool in your router or system which caps or de-prioritize certain traffic types - please check!) or enforced by your ISP (get informed about the traffic shaping policy, sometimes called "traffic management", "fair traffic use", "quality of service" etc. enforced by your ISP). MTU size problems can be fixed too (open a ticket, see below). Also check a connection over WireGuard, just in case your ISP explicitly caps OpenVPN and/or specific ports, or you have some MTU size problems. Do not hesitate to open a ticket for a more specific support. In the ticket make sure to declare your Operating System name and version and include the connection log, taken while the problem is ongoing. If you run Eddie (an Air client software) include the system report, see here: https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/50663-youve-been-asked-for-a-support-filesystem-report-%E2%80%93-heres-what-to-do/ Kind regards

@Nitrox Hello! The bandwidth pattern we see in the graph you posted might be caused by uTP (a traffic shaping tool inside various torrent software which usually can't work properly with a p-t-p VPN), can you please verify and make sure that this option is disabled in your torrent software settings? On top of that, test a connection over WIreGuard too. If you run Eddie you can switch to WireGuard in "Preferences" > "Protocols" window, otherwise you can follow the WireGuard instructions for your Operating System. The Configuration Generator will create the configuration files WireGuard needs. The fact that your traffic throughput is higher when you do not activate remote inbound port forwarding hints again to shaping triggered by incoming traffic. If you can't manage to resolve the problem please open a ticket at your convenience. Kind regards

@htpc Hello! The list of available "devices" (client certificate/key pairs) should appear beside the login credentials, on the main window. If it doesn't, please try to uncheck "Remember me", log your AirVPN account out and log it in again (you will need to re-enter your account credentials). Kind regards

Hello! We confirm that the issue is under investigation. For the readers who don't want to uninstall other drivers, for example because they want to use multiple VPNs, a faster solution is just telling Eddie not to use alien interfaces by filling in, on "Preferences" > "Networking" window, the "VPN interface name" field with a short name (for example "Eddie", without quotes). See https://www.clodo.it/host/images/f625221af86ac02e33238f0aaaffca81bae26bbf.png Kind regards

Hello! @airvpnforumuser Thank you for your suggestions. In the current beta testing, main features are frozen and only bug fixes are implemented, in general, but for the next future release feedback will be taken into due consideration as usual. @harold.lewis Thank you for your tests again. We have some progress on the malfunction reported by various users. We have realized that it has been reported not infrequently on the Internet for WireGuard and only in Android 13, so it does not seem related to Eddie, but to the WireGuard library called by Eddie. We suspect that the problem should occur with WireGuard only, and only in Android 12 and 13. Investigation goes on. Kind regards

We released a new experimental version 2.22.2, mainly to fix some specific issue. [bugfix] [linux/macos] Race condition in ping-request (thx to @cmaves) [bugfix] [windows] VirtualStore path issue on 32bit [bugfix] [all] Minor fixes [new] [all] Option to skip network-lock confirmation We also tested Eddie with macOS Ventura released today, there isn't any known issue.

@harold.lewis Hello! Yes, please send us the report. As you notice, maybe it's not an Eddie bug. Let's see and check. Thank you for your tests again! Kind regards

@Maggie144 Hello! Congratulations to Mullvad for this discovery and shame on Google. Some answers by Google personnel in the issue tracker https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/250529027 are embarrassing (to say the least...) and Mullvad replies are effective and clear. The issue must be taken seriously especially if you live in certain countries and the suggested solution via adb should be applied. It requires a computer and minimal knowledge, though. Kind regards

Done. Kind regards

Hello! When a stable version is available. Since there are no bug reports so far and the internal testing is just fine, it could be quite soon. Kind regards

Hello! All the percentages are computed against the standard 1 month plan, even when there is no special offer. Kind regards

@Xoese Hello! As it's an Halloween deal, you can safely assume that it will not end before the HALLOWEEN NIGHT. grim regards
