Hello and thank you for your tests! We are glad to inform you that all of the options you ask for were implemented years ago. You can sort servers by name location load connected users bandwidth maximum bandwidth. Each sort can be either ascending or descending. Tap the gearbox in the "AIRVPN SERVER" view to modify the settings according to your preferences. Moreover, if you tell Eddie to connect to a specific country (long-tap the country name in the "AIRVPN SERVER" view and select "Start connection"), Eddie will pick the "best" server according to AirVPN formula. You can also define a white list of favorite countries and/or servers, forbidden countries and/or servers, and even default countries or servers (useful to have Eddie connect during the device bootstrap only to those server(s) or country/countries you have set as default one(s)). Thank you again for your tests and feedback! Kind regards

Some domain names are not available in AirVPN DNS
Staff replied to membrane's topic in Troubleshooting and Problems
Hello! Yes, probably that's a good solution. We should maintain the VPN DNS address matching the VPN gateway address (to neutralize as usual the infamous and dangerous route hijack attack) and then internally perform the routing which is necessary. In this way we would save one of the most exclusive AirVPN features and at the same time achieve the purpose to untie the DNS servers from VPN servers. Kind regards -
Some domain names are not available in AirVPN DNS
Staff replied to membrane's topic in Troubleshooting and Problems
Hello! Perhaps their DNS servers block our VPN servers (each VPN server runs its own DNS server). Such blatant NN and end-to-end connectivity principle infringement practice is unfortunately more and more common and one of the bad practices which are dismantling the original Internet concept. A couple of years ago GoDaddy authoritative servers blocked all Leaseweb DNS queries, for example, causing worldwide chaos for several days. We will look into the issue and if confirmed we will try to find a way to circumvent the absurd block. Kind regards -
Hello! Eddie 2.12.4 is really too old as well as Windows 2003. You can anyway download old Eddie versions by clicking "Other versions" in the download page. However, Eddie 2.12.4 is no more available because it is no more compatible with the new AirVPN features. The oldest one that's available is Eddie 2.13.6, but please keep in mind that features like Hummingbird or WireGuard are available only in much more recent releases. The same concerns may apply with very old systems, and in general we would recommend that nobody runs abandoned systems, for compatibility but above all for security reasons. Given the quick development of new features and VPN innovations in the last years, we deem quite reasonable to break compatibility with 5-6 years old software of ours as well as with abandoned systems. Remember, anyway, that even though Eddie 2.12.4 is no more available, we still support connections from OpenVPN 2.2 (on entry-IP addresses 1 and 2), which runs decently in very old systems too. Kind regards

@Yammy75 Hello! On top of @hugootto suggestion (WireGuard is another valid option too) please check problem explanation and solution available here: https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/53004-openssl-error-restart-every-3-seconds/ Thank you! Kind regards -
ANSWERED OpenSSL error ; restart every 3 seconds
Staff replied to tioker's topic in Troubleshooting and Problems
@seanwezzy81 Hello! That's a different problem. The following interface: is causing a critical error: Eddie's developer is looking into the apparent incompatibility or conflict, which occurs even with NordVPN and ExpressVPN wintun interfaces and causes OpenVPN to exit. In the the meantime you should be able to resolve the problem by disabling the Kaspersky Wintun interface. Kind regards -
Just upgraded to Linux 21 : Can't use eddie [SOLVED]
Staff replied to rnd227's topic in Troubleshooting and Problems
Correction. The problem is caused by the client certificate signed with SHA1. Switch to SHA512 based signature for those certificates was finalized in 2017, five years ago. For reference the pinned thread pertaining to this problem and why we do not force client certificate renewal is here: https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/53004-openssl-error-restart-every-3-seconds/?do=findComment&comment=187787 Kind regards -
Hello! They are important for IPv4 only systems. The word "only" in "IPv4 only" has a definite meaning of "only" and it is available in the Internet Protocol version options (both in the Configuration Generator, where you can only see it by clicking "Advanced mode", and in Eddie and the AirVPN Suite configuration files and options). If someone doesn't know what an option does, he/she should refrain from activating it. Kind regards

Hello! First of all thank you for your continued support in so many years. We are surprised that in 5 years you never opened a ticket for such an important problem and we warmly invite you to do so. Network Lock is simply a set of firewall rules so if it doesn't work then it's your firewall that must be investigated. However, we see that you usually connect WITHOUT our software. Remember that Network Lock is a feature provided by our software (in your case you may use Eddie or the AirVPN Suite, as you prefer). By connecting without our software you don't have leak prevention (unless you build your own network lock rules). Kind regards

Hello! The problem is completely different: the log shows that UDP is blocked. Please check your firewall both on your system and router and make sure that they do not block UDP. If you find nothing blocking your ISP might be the culprit and in this case you will need to switch to TCP. You can change connection mode in Eddie's "Preferences" > "Protocols" window. Kind regards

Hello! This interface: is causing a critical error to OpenVPN: Can you please test again after you have removed anything PIA related and check whether the problem gets resolved? You should remove the interface and its driver too, then at the next run Eddie will re-install a standard wintun driver. We are looking forward to hearing from you. Kind regards

Hello! Probably because you did not log your account out (from the main window) as Eddie desktop edition updates the client certificate only when an account logs in to the service. By deleting the configuration file you anyway forced Eddie to re-download everything, including client certificates and keys. Enjoy AirVPN! Kind regards

@FezzyWig Hello! If Eddie 2.22.0 or some other version resolves the blank/black window problem, use it and fix the problem with client certificates. See here how to solve it very quickly: https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/53004-openssl-error-restart-every-3-secondes/?do=findComment&comment=187787 ... and thank you very much, you're another long time customer! Kind regards

Hello! You have, since recently, a grace period for the amount of connection slots, so even if the VPN server did not free automatically the dead connection slot within the router reboot time, the new connection will not be rejected. You can also add more connection slots to a single account for a fee (contact the sales department) if necessary. Kind regards

Hello! All the lists are updated daily if a an update is available. We see that only porn lists are sporadically maintained, all the other lists have been updated very recently. Remember, you can suggest new lists in the dedicated forum. Kind regards

Yes, a very nice one. Apparently it is perfectly formulated, because it's 100% true and accurate, and it's not formulated here, but there. It's mentioned because Crossrider/Kape was founded by a member of Unit 8200, a cyber spy agency, and its (Crossrider's) primary business was facilitating malware and computer infections. Recently it acquired major VPNs (such as Private Internet Access, Express VPN and CyberGhost) as well as review web sites. In reality in the FT article you mention you can read the interview to Lempert (chairman of the Unit 8200 alumni association and CEO of MER mobile comms group) who claims that 8200 is focusing (the article is 7 years old) on huge data mining, which is exactly extensive surveillance of the Internet, and we could also mention the documents leaked by Snowden, which revealed how Unit 8200, referred to as ISNU, receives raw, unfiltered data of U.S. citizens, as part of a secret agreement with the NSA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Israel_Memorandum_of_Understanding_SIGINT.pdf Are US citizens "bad neighbors" too? Anyway. It's irrelevant whether the purposes of Kape match those of Unit 8200. Kape could be or not a puppet of 8200, you don't know and we don't know, and perhaps it's not, and still that's not the point. The relevance of a member of 8200 founding a company spreading malware and now controlling VPN is the relationships and competence acquired by that member during his/her previous job, used against citizens unconditionally, since Kape operated essentially in browser hijacking, ad injectors and other remunerative computer infections worldwide. Remember for example Gericke ("strangely", he is also ExpressVPN CIO), Adams and Baier: they used their great competence acquired while they worked for US intelligence agencies to assist UAE regime to crack journalists, activists, monarchy political opponents phones and computers, to help UAE suppress or control any possible dissident or uncomfortable journalist. Officially it was not CIA or USIC interest to do that (and actually all three of them have been charged by DoJ for that "job") but anyway they greatly succeeded in their UAE job because they were trained by and had the knowledge of and access to certain technology from their former employers. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/three-former-us-intelligence-community-and-military-personnel-agree-pay-more-168-million Kind regards

Hello! It's not you, the message "DNS Detect feature under maintenance" means that the DNS detection feature is under maintenance (i.e you can interpret it literally). Please see here for some additional complications which arose recently: https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/53074-ipleaknet-not-working/?do=findComment&comment=189566 Kind regards

Any plan to implement the Quick UDP Internet Connections
Staff replied to datastreams's topic in General & Suggestions
Hello! It mainly depends on WireGuard and OpenVPN after all. QUIC looks very promising and is widely used by Chrome for HTTPS/2 (mainly with Google sites) so we guess it's quite robust after 9 years of tests and no critical problems found. However we frankly don't know how it would speed up OpenVPN or WireGuard, because it includes some error correction and packet re-ordering routines working on packets on the userspace which are, apparently, quite unwelcome by WireGuard (and OpenVPN too, due to its efficiency in packet re-ordering in UDP), exactly because they tend to waste a lot of time. Kind regards -
Hello! Very interesting analytical and investigative work by Windscribe disclosing ties (even hidden ones) between VPN companies, publishers, review web sites. Click on node icons to read more details. Very sinister situation at a glance. Note for example how Crossrider (now Kape), well known malware company co-founded by a member of israeli Defense Forces Unit 8200, nowadays controls major VPNs and review web sites: https://embed.kumu.io/9ced55e897e74fd807be51990b26b415#vpn-company-relationships/control-d Kind regards
