I've seen speeds below that, as lower or lower than 1.1Mbps on some servers (that are not even that far or have low load).

Hello!

Please note that guaranteed bandwidth does not mean guaranteed speed. The weakest hop in the routing between your node and the VPN server determines the maximum performance. Nobody can guarantee anything on the Internet as soon as any interconnection with a not owned network takes place, obviously. In your case of course the poor throughput comes from a cap / bottleneck somewhere else, not in the VPN server itself, according to your description.

So would I have to change the public port on AirVPN to 32400, disconnect / reconnect from the VPN and it will work? I don't think there is a way to change the port 32400 for plex. I am using Windows.

Hello!

You should "re-map" the VPN server remote port 33585 to your local VPN interface port 32400 by filling the "Local" field on your AirVPN account port panel.

i searched it up on the search engine and stumbled upon a website called https://www.datalove.me  Just want to point it out.

Hello!

It's by Telecomix, a group an AirVPN founder co-operated with! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecomix

Is there something that I am doing wrong?

Hello!

Yes, keep in mind that Plex always listens to port 32400 of the VPN interface, no matter what. Therefore you should "re-map" the server port 33585 to your local VPN interface port 32400 (directly on your AirVPN account port panel). Note: hot change is supported for remote port only, so when you change local port on your AirVPN account port panel, if you are already connected to the VPN please disconnect and re-connect to apply the change.

Kind regards

insanely slow on my laptop with Linux Mint. It loads part after part elements of the UI and then after is very unresponsive. It takes seconds to respond after a click and scrolling is very laggy.

Hello!

It sounds like some Mono related problem, can you check your Mono version in your system (and update it if newer version is available)?

am trying to enable the WebUI for the Eddie CLI on Linux. I ran the following command using the portable version:

sudo ./eddie-cli webui.enabled=true webui.port=8080 webui.ip=0.0.0.0 .....

However, I still cannot access the interface through my browser. Am I missing a configuration step or using the wrong syntax?

Hello!

There is no Web UI implementation in Eddie, currently. Eddie CLI available options are here:

I noticed that the value for "WIREGUARD_ADDRESSES" had changed, from my home IP address to a private address in the "10." family. I don't understand what this represents

Hello!

The WIREGUARD_ADDRESSES environment variable in Gluetun specifies the WireGuard IP network interface address in CIDR format; in AirVPN it is inside the big subnet 10.128.0.0/10.

@willowvpn

Hello!

Please try:

pull-filter ignore "ifconfig-ipv6"
pull-filter ignore "route-ipv6"
pull-filter ignore "redirect-gateway ipv6"
pull-filter ignore "dhcp-option DNS6"
pull-filter ignore "tun-ipv6"

Fixed the linked message as well (it was incomplete). If the problem persists send the whole log, do not cut it.

a VPN can still be useful in certain cases, such as bypassing Tor blocks by an ISP or bypassing websites that block direct Tor connections.

Hello and welcome!

Another interesting use case is when you live in a country where trying to access the Tor network raises a red flag on you but the HTTP/3 (QUIC) traffic does not. So you first circumvent the blocks via some adequate VPN related protocol that looks like QUIC and only then you fire up Tor, so the regime can't trivially infer that you're trying to use Tor. Sometimes it is more practical and safer than struggling to find Tor bridges: a risk assessment is due, on a case by case basis.

Hello!

Be aware that 4 Mbit + 4 Mbit/s of guaranteed allocation is great for the pricing of AirVPN. Our competitors offer 0.0 (best effort, no minimum allocation guaranteed). Please consider that if residential ISPs in Europe had all of their customers connected simultaneously and requiring full bandwidth at the same time, the allocation by most of such ISPs (if performed equally for each customer) would be between 0.1 and 10 Mbit/s.

The biggest ISPs in Europe (example: TIM in Italy) have an average per residential customer consumption (fixed lines: in mobility much less) of 190 GB/month, which on average means 0.58 Mbit/s throughout the month. Residential networks are normally designed and sized on the basis of these values with congestion control (traffic shaping) during peak hours or any unexpected event.

Guaranteeing no overselling beyond 4 + 4 Mbit/s was and is even nowadays a significant effort by AirVPN. In practice, as you can see on the "Top User Speed" chart, users can easily beat 500 Mbit/s, there is no congestion. But if all customers connected at the same time (assuming a fair distribution on all servers) then everyone would anyway have 4 Mbit/s (4 + 4 server side).

Kind regards

if using MTU 1380 rather than custom and disabling "AirVPN anti-geolocation system" in the DNS settings for the device, seems to improve download and upload speeds for them?

Hello!

Try to increase MTU even further, up to 1420 bytes (you can also try 1440 bytes if you never use IPv6). The reason to lower MTU is that the frame on some network is not big enough to contain 1420 bytes of WireGuard, but if you can enlarge (your network supports larger WireGuard MTU) then do it, because performance will improve. https://lists.zx2c4.com/pipermail/wireguard/2017-December/002201.html

Disabling the setting you mention about geo-routing on AirVPN DNS through your account panel can improve performance should the test you perform pass through a "geo-server", which would cause a bottleneck. These geo-servers are meant essentially to bypass geo-location based blocks and they are not suitable to perform massive speed tests. If the destination node which is instrumental for your tests is routed through one of these micro-servers you will get a remarkable bias. By disabling the feature you cancel any forced "geo" or "micro" routing.

Kind regards

if the generated Jc always exceeds 10, it will just be capped at 10, which would defeat the purpose of randomization, right?

Hello!

Jc will be capped to 10 in this beta 1 version, but this does not defeat the purpose of randomization as Jc tells the quantity of junk packets that must follow CPS, not their size. However it will be important to allow more than 10 junk packets because we have reports from you and other persons according to whom an higher Jc seems to imply a higher probability to circumvent specific blocks.

Beta 2 is imminent.

Kind regards

if the Jc parameter generates a value greater than 10, it will become Jc=10 after clicking OK

Thank you very much!

Noted, Jc, S1 and S2 limits come from the documentation here https://docs.amnezia.org/documentation/amnezia-wg



The allowed ranges will be fixed according to logic, new documentation and source code.

The crashes are under investigation. Thank you for your tests and bug reports!

I can't send a complete system report. Once I click the paper airplane icon, Eddie crashes and restarts, losing all previous reports. The live logs show an error, which I vaguely recall is caused by a connection reset. Even when I'm connected to the AirVPN server, Eddie still crashes and restarts.

Hello!

If you can manage to store locally the report (try to tap the diskette "Save" icon) or you can manage to send the report via mail (try to tap the triangular "Share" icon) the logcat that Eddie includes could still contain a dump/trace of the previous crash, even if you had to re-start the app. Please send it to our support team (support@airvpn.org) or publish here, as you prefer.

If there's no way to do it, please try to describe accurately all the steps that you perform, as well as the settings you configured, to help us reproduce the crash that occurs while Eddie is connected to a VPN server.

And wasn't this what Pied Piper was attempting to do in the HBO TV series Silicon Valley?

Hello!

Yes, not PiedPiper but Richard himself only, when he stepped down as CEO of PiedPiper, although his vision was even greater because he thought about a mesh network between cell phones with a p2p-like layer not necessarily over any TCP/IP stack. Of course he had his revolutionary lossless compression algorithm, that we don't have in our universe.  

On the other hand, other observers have noted that the series producers might have had in mind something like a blockchain-based distributed storage network.

This is a problem. Because it's dynamic.
For example, today I can connect to all ports on server A, but only to a specific port on server B.
Tomorrow, I might only be able to connect to the specific port on server A, while all ports on server B will be available.

Hello!

Understood. This is typical with dynamic blocking by GFW and other blocking tools. Remember that GFW (and other blocking tools) behavior is not deterministic, as clearly disclosed and proved at the USENIX Security Symposium 2025. We have already put in place methods capable to defeat the GFW in most circumstances (probably 85% success rate), as you have noticed, and when you are blocked by some heuristic decision of the GFW you necessarily need some trial and error. We are working to increase the success rate even more, stay tuned in the near future.

Perhaps OpenVPN is consuming too many resources.

No, this is not the case. OpenVPN eats resources but not in a critical way, and it will require less and less resources while more and more clients switch to WireGuard or AmneziaWG.

According to your description, to the lack of any warning by our monitoring system, and the fact the we have no similar complaints from Western countries, we feel comfortable to say that this is not a server side problem.
