Hello!

Starting from version 2.3, firewalld by default owns exclusively nftables tables generated by itself, thus preventing Eddie, Bluetit and Hummingbird Network Lock related operations. If you want to have Network Lock enabled and firewalld running at the same time, then you must configure firewalld by setting the following option:
NftablesTableOwner=no in firewalld's configuration file, usually /etc/firewalld/firewalld.conf .

After you have edited the configuration file with any text editor with root privileges, reload firewalld configuration or restart firewalld, and only then (re)start Bluetit, Hummingbird or Eddie. Additional insights:

Hello!

After the hardware replacement the server is apparently working very well. Should you find any anomaly do not hesitate to warn us and/or update this thread.

Kind regards
 

Working Well Now. Tried maximizing both upload and download in parallel, and it worked like a charm! 


Tzulo servers are excellent in my opinion. New York-based Tzulo servers also perform really well. 

Thanks for this update. The speed and connectivity is good.

Hello!

The problem has been finally isolated. From the provider customer service, just a few hours ago: "We have located the issue with the cabling, and have asked to [...] swap cables and ports around. This will correct the issue. [...] We expect this work to be completed within 24hrs".

UPDATE 2025-06-10: version 2.0.0 Release Candidate 2 is now available

PLEASE NOTE THAT FROM NOW ON COMPATIBILITY WITH DEBIAN 10 AND ITS DERIVATIVES IS LOST, MAINLY BECAUSE THE SUITE IS NOW C++20 COMPLIANT. x86_64 LEGACY VERSION IS SUITABLE FOR DEBIAN 11

AirVPN Suite 2.0.0 introduces AirVPN's exclusive per app traffic splitting system, bug fixes, revised code in order to pave the way towards the final and stable release, WireGuard support, and the latest OpenVPN3-AirVPN 3.12 library. Please see the respective changelogs for a complete list of  changes for each component of the suite. 
 
The 2.0.0 Release Candidate 1 Suite includes:
Bluetit: lightweight, ultra-fast D-Bus controlled system daemon providing full connectivity and integration to AirVPN servers, or generic OpenVPN and WireGuard servers. Bluetit can also enforce Network Lock and/or connect the system to AirVPN during the bootstrap Goldcrest: Bluetit client, allowing full integration with AirVPN servers, users, keys, profiles as well as generic OpenVPN and WireGuard servers Hummingbird: lightweight and standalone binary for generic OpenVPN and WireGuard server connections Cuckoo: traffic split manager, granting full access and functionality to AirVPN's traffic split infrastructure airsu: a "run and forget" tool to automatically set and enable the user environment for the X.Org or Wayland based ecosystem without any user input
WireGuard support
 
WireGuard support is now available in Bluetit and Hummingbird. OpenVPN or WireGuard selection is controlled by Bluetit run control file option airvpntype or by Goldcrest option -f  (short for --air-vpn-type). Possible values: openvpn, wireguard. New 2.0.0 default: wireguard.

Bluetit run control file (/etc/airvpn/bluetit.rc) option:
airvpntype: (string) VPN type to be used for AirVPN connections. Possible values: wireguard, openvpn. Default: wireguard Goldcrest option:
--air-vpn-type, -f : VPN type for AirVPN connection <wireguard|openvpn>  
Suspend and resume services for systemd based systems

For your comfort, the installation script can create suspend and resume services in systemd based systems, according to your preferences. allowing a more proper management of VPN connections when the system is suspended and resumed. The network connection detection code has also been rewritten to provide more appropriate behavior.

  Asynchronous mode

A new asynchronous mode (off by default) is supported by Bluetit and Goldcrest, allowing asynchronous connections. Network Lock can be used accordingly in asynchronous connections. Please consult the readme.md file included in every tarball for more information and details.
  Word completion on bash and zsh

Auto completion is now available by pressing the TAB key when entering any Goldcrest or Hummingbird option and filename on a bash or zsh interpreter. Auto completion files are installed automatically by the installation script.

 
AirVPN's VPN traffic splitting

AirVPN Suite version 2.0.0 introduces traffic splitting by using a dedicated network namespace. The VPN traffic is carried out in the default (main) namespace, ensuring all system data and traffic to be encrypted into the VPN tunnel by default. No clear and unencrypted data are allowed to pass through the default namespace. Any non-tunneled network traffic must be explicitly requested by an authorized user with the right to run cuckoo, the AirVPN traffic split manager tool.

AirVPN's traffic splitting is managed by Bluetit and configured through run control directives. The system has been created in order to minimize any tedious or extensive configuration, even to the minimal point of telling Bluetit to enable traffic splitting with no other setting.

In order to enable and control AirVPN's traffic splitting, the below new run control directives for /etc/airvpn/bluetit.rc have been implemented: allowtrafficsplitting: (on/off) enable or disable traffic splitting. Default: off trafficsplitnamespace: (string) name of Linux network namespace dedicated to traffic splitting. Default: aircuckoo trafficsplitinterface: (string) name of the physical network interface to be used for traffic splitting. All the unencrypted and out of the tunnel data will pass through the specified network device/interface. In case this directive is not used and unspecified, Bluetit will automatically use the main network interface of the system and connected to the default gateway. Default: unspecified trafficsplitnamespaceinterface: (string) name of the virtual network interface to be associated to the Linux network namespace dedicated to traffic splitting. Default: ckveth0 trafficsplitipv4: (IPv4 address|auto) IPv4 address of the virtual network interface used for traffic splitting. In case it is set to 'auto', Bluetit will try to automatically assign an unused IPv4 address belonging to the system's host sub-network (/24) Default: auto trafficsplitipv6: (IPv6 address|auto) IPv6 address of the virtual network interface used for traffic splitting. In case it is set to 'auto', Bluetit will try to automatically assign an unused IPv6 address belonging to the system's host sub-network (/64) Default: auto trafficsplitfirewall: (on/off) enable or disable the firewall in Linux network namespace dedicated to traffic splitting. The firewall is set up with a minimal rule set for a very basic security model. Default: off AirVPN's traffic splitting is designed in order to minimize any further configuration from the system administrator. To actually enable traffic splitting, it is just needed to set "allowtrafficsplitting" directive to "on" and Bluetit will configure the traffic split namespace with the default options as explained above. When needed, the system administrator can finely tune the traffic splitting service by using the above directives.  
  Power and limitations
 
The adopted solution offers a remarkable security bonus in terms of isolation. For example, it gets rid of the dangerous DNS "leaks in" typical of cgroups based traffic splitting solutions. However, the dedicated namespace needs an exclusive IP address. If the system is behind a NAT (connected to a home router for example) this is not a problem, but if the system is not behind any NAT, i.e. it is assigned directly a public IP address, you will need another public IP address for the network namespace dedicated to traffic splitting. You will need to manually set the other public IP address on the trafficsplitipv4 or trafficsplitipv6 directive as the guessing abilities of Bluetit may work only within a private subnet. Please keep this limitation in mind especially if you want to run the Suite with per app traffic splitting on a dedicated or virtual server in some datacenter, as they are most of the times NOT behind any NAT.
 
Introducing Cuckoo, the AirVPN traffic splitting manager tool

To generate out of the tunnel traffic, any application software must be run inside the "traffic split" namespace by using the dedicated traffic split tool cuckoo which can be run by users belonging to the airvpn group only. It cannot be used by the superuser.

The usage is documented in the manual and on the inline help.
The traffic split namespace uses its own routing, network channels and system DNS. It will not interfere or communicate in any way with the default namespace using its own encrypted tunnel.
 
Programs started with cuckoo are regular Linux processes and, as such, can be managed (stopped, interrupted, paused, terminated and killed) by using the usual process control tools. The programs started by cuckoo are assigned to the user who started cuckoo.

As a final note, in order to work properly, the following permissions must be granted to cuckoo and they are always checked at each run.
Owner: root
Group: airvpn
Permissions: -rwsr-xr-x (owner can read, write, execute and setuid; group can read and execute, others can read and execute)
 
Special note for snap packages users
Snap is a controversial, locking-in package management system developed by Canonical and praised by Microsoft. It packages applications as snaps, which are self-contained units that include all necessary dependencies and run in a sandboxed environment in its default namespace. Therefore, "snap" applications will bypass the order by the system via Cuckoo to have an application running in one specific namespace created for reverse traffic splitting. As a result, snap applications will jettison the Suite's reverse traffic splitting feature. Currently, you must avoid snap packages of those applications whose traffic must flow outside the VPN tunnel. The issue is particularly relevant ever since Ubuntu migrated certain packages exclusively to Snap, such as Chromium and Firefox. At the moment it is still possible to eradicate snap from various distributions, including Ubuntu, quickly.
 
Special note for firewalld users
Please read here, it's very important: https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/70164-linux-network-lock-and-firewalld/
  AirVPN Switch User Tool Airsu
Running an application in a graphical environment requires a user having a local environment properly set, in particular variables and access to specific sockets or cookies. They are usually set at the moment of graphical login, while they may not be properly set in case a user logged in by using the system tool su.
In this specific case the user will not probably be allowed to access the graphical environment, so any GUI application will not start.
AirVPN’s airsu is used for this specific purpose and configures the user environment to the current X.Org (X11) or Wayland based manager, thus allowing access to GUI applications when run through cuckoo.
 
Note on GUI software and Web Browsers
The previous limitations on browsers have been completely resolved. Furthermore, complete compatibility with Wayland based environment has been implemented.
Because of the specific Linux architecture and namespaces, some applications may need to specify the graphical environment in order to start and use the currently selected window manager on an X.Org (X11) or Wayland based habitat. Cuckoo can automatically do this by “injecting” predefined options to some preset applications, in particular those based on the chromium engines, most of them being web browsers. To see the list of predefined applications, please start cuckoo with --list-preset-apps option.

When running an application with cuckoo, the user should make sure to actually start a new instance. This is usually granted by starting an application from the command line (such as running it with cuckoo). By starting an application from the desktop environment this may not happen.

Hello!

Eddie should allow the execution of binaries when they are not owned by root, only if they pass the checksum verification. If they don't, only files owned by root will be run with root privileges. The files  packaged with Eddie should pass the checksum verification. Why it does not happen is a matter of an ongoing investigation by the developers.

With that said, the system refusal to change ownership even to the superuser is probably caused by a terminal that's not allowed to have full disk access, according to System Integrity Protection. You should grant Terminal program full disk access in the following way: Make sure that Terminal is not running. Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy from the Apple menu.. Click the padlock icon at one corner of the window and enter your administrator password to make changes. Go to the Privacy tab. Click the [+] button at the bottom of the list on the right. Navigate to Terminal program location in the Applications folder ([...]/Applications/Utilities/Terminal). Add Terminal to the list and make sure that its checkbox is ticked. Then, open the terminal and try again to change ownership of the relevant files
sudo chown root <full path and name of the file>

You will need to change ownership of both wg and wireguard-go files.

Kind regards

Hello!

How to solve:
  To grant Terminal full disk access (except some specific critical directories) on macOS, follow these steps:
Open System Settings (or System Preferences):
On macOS Ventura and later, click the Apple menu at the top-left of your screen, then choose System Settings.
On macOS Monterey or earlier, choose System Preferences.
Go to Privacy & Security:
In System Settings (Ventura and later), select Privacy & Security in the left-hand menu.
In System Preferences (Monterey and earlier), click Security & Privacy, then go to the Privacy tab.
Select Full Disk Access:
In the Privacy & Security or Security & Privacy tab, scroll down and click Full Disk Access in the left menu.
Unlock Settings:
At the bottom-left of the window, you might need to click the lock icon and enter your admin password to make changes.
Add Terminal:
Once the lock is open, click the + button beneath the list of apps with Full Disk Access.
In the file chooser window that pops up, go to Applications > Utilities, and select Terminal.
Click Open to add it to the list.
Restart Terminal:
Close the Terminal app if it’s open, then reopen it to apply the changes.

 
2. Open the terminal and change ownership of the relevant files: sudo chown root /Applications/Eddie.app/Contents/MacOS/*
Kind regards
 

Hello!

Your setup is fine and we can reach your listening software through the port that you remotely forwarded. If you need more ports please make sure to pick a free port (the proper tools on the bottom of your AirVPN account port panel will let you find free ports) or just let the system pick a free one for you by leaving the "Port number" field blank and clicking the '+' button.

Hello!

We have no plans to operate VPN servers in France (and in Italy) for the mandatory data retention framework still enforced in disdain of three different legally binding decisions of the CJEU (see below). France is in breach and Italy is too, but the Commission hesitates to open infraction procedures. Since the decisions pertain to the the preservation of a fundamental human right enshrined in the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and in the European Convention on Human Rights, it does not seem inappropriate to consider that both France and Italy are committing one of the worst breaches a EU Member State can be guilty of.

We might challenge with a casus belli the (il)legal framework in France, but we are already committed in other EU countries and we can't open potentially multiple legal battle fronts.

The Court of Justice declares the Data Retention Directive to be invalid
https://curia.europa.eu/jcms/upload/docs/application/pdf/2014-04/cp140054en.pdf

The Members States may not impose a general obligation to retain data on providers of electronic communications services
https://curia.europa.eu/jcms/upload/docs/application/pdf/2016-12/cp160145en.pdf

The Court of Justice confirms that EU law precludes national legislation requiring a provider of electronic communications services to carry out the general and indiscriminate transmission or retention of traffic data and location data for the purpose of combating crime in general or of safeguarding national security

Hello!
Today we're starting AirVPN 15th Birthday celebrations with big discounts on longer term plans.
 


From a two servers service located in a single country providing a handful of Mbit/s, the baby has grown up to a wide infrastructure in 23 countries on four continents!

AirVPN is now one of the few major consumer VPNs that is still independent. In other words, it is not owned by large corporations with diverse interests that interfere through editorial publications or conflict with privacy protection.

Since our 14th birthday celebration, our customer base has grown impressively, and we would like to thank all the old and new customers who chose or confirmed AirVPN.

AirVPN has focused on comprehensive enhancements, including:
line and server expansion to accommodate the outstanding customer growth. The infrastructure can now deliver up to 970,000 Mbit/s. Compared to the 694,000 Mbit/s available in May 2024, this is a 39.7% increase in a single year yet another thorough rewrite of remote inbound port forwarding logic to offer greater convenience and true scalability. The new implementation was designed to meet the growing demand for remote inbound port forwarding the unlimited traffic quota for every and each customer subscription plan has never been modified   On the software side:
all AirVPN applications and libraries are free and open source software released under GPLv3 new, greatly improved Eddie Desktop and Eddie Android editions Eddie Android edition implements a new community request: an opt-in GPS spoofing feature integrated with the infrastructure in order to provide coordinates consistent with the location of the VPN server the device is connected to Eddie Desktop edition new version included several bug fixes and the new CLI edition is built on .NET7. Thus, it no longer needs Mono (Linux, macOS) and is built without Xamarin (macOS) the development of traffic splitting features on an application basis, already available in AirVPN Eddie Android and Android TV edition, and implemented on the AirVPN Suite for Linux last year, has been improved together with the new Suite features during the year long internal and community tests the OpenVPN3-AirVPN library is actively maintained as usual.
If you're already our customer and you wish to extend your stay, any additional subscription will be added to your existing subscriptions and you won't lose any days.
 
Check the promotional prices here: https://airvpn.org/buy
 

 
Promotion will end on June the 12th, 2025 (UTC).

This pondered decision was driven by various problems caused by a few Linux distributions inconsistencies with established practices and standards linked against the new OpenVPN3-AirVPN 3.12 library   Special note for firewalld users Please read here, it's very important: https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/70164-linux-network-lock-and-firewalld/

Please note that compatibility with Debian 10 and its derivatives, that reached end of long term support and end of life on June 2024, is lost even for the legacy version, mainly because the Suite is now C++20 compliant. The legacy version remains suitable for Debian 11 and its derivatives.
