Staff got a reaction from urbanconcrete in AirVPN Client - Eddie - Beta testing phase ...
Hello!
We're very glad to inform you that the new AirVPN client (codename Eddie) is ready for the beta-testing phase.
Introduction: https://airvpn.org/software/
FAQs: https://airvpn.org/forum/34-client-software/
Windows versions: https://airvpn.org/windows_ex
Linux versions: https://airvpn.org/linux_ex
A native Mac OS X version is still under development. We hope to release an OS X prototype in this month (May 2014).
All the documentation is available on this page: https://airvpn.org/software
Unlike some of our competitors that ask for customers' trust not only on networking, but also when installing closed-source software with full-access to users' machines, we release our client as free and open source under GPL3. Source code available on GitHub: https://github.com/AirVPN/airvpn-client
Notes:
Some advanced options are still disabled by default. As far as it concerns new features, we want to be sure that Eddie works at least like the current client. Soon, based also on community feedback, we will release a new version with some advanced options enabled by default. Please report exactly what version you installed (operating system, 32 or 64 bit, and file format) if/when you report an issue. Network Leak Protection Locking feature will be available in a next beta version, probably the next week.

Enjoy!

Staff got a reaction from D14F0RC3 in AirVPN does not recognize ICANN authority anymore ...
AIRVPN DOES NOT RECOGNIZE ANYMORE VERISIGN, AFILIAS AND ICANN AUTHORITY. OUR COMMITMENT AGAINST UNITED STATES OF AMERICA UNFAIR AND ILLEGAL DOMAIN NAMES SEIZURES.
The United States of America authorities have been performing domain names seizures since the end of 2010. The seizures have been performed against perfectly legal web-sites and/or against web-sites outside US jurisdiction.
Administrators of some of those web-sites had been previously acquitted of any charge by courts in the European Union.
The domain name seizures affect the world wide web in its entirety since they are performed bypassing the original registrar and forcing VeriSign and Afilias (american companies which administer TLDs like .org, .net, .info and .com) to transfer the domain name to USA authorities property. No proper judicial overview is guaranteed during the seizure.
Given all of the above, we repute that these acts:
- are a violation of EU citizens fundamental rights, as enshrined in the European Convention on Human Rights;
- are an attack against the Internet infrastructure and the cyberspace;
- are a strong hint which shows that decision capacities of USA Department of Justice and ICE are severely impaired;
and therefore from now on AirVPN does not recognize VeriSign, Afilias and/or ICANN authority over domain names. AirVPN refuses to resolve "seized" domain names to the IP address designated by USA authorities, allowing normal access to the original servers' websites / legitimate Ip addresses.
In order to fulfil the objective, we have put in place an experimental service which is already working fine. If you find anomalies, please let us know, the system will surely improve in time.
Kind regards

Staff got a reaction from snaggle in Using AirVPN with Linux from Terminal ...
Download your configuration file from the page Config Generator. If you don't already have the OpenVPN package installed in your system, you can tick Advanced Mode and tick Bundle executable (only for x86/amd64 based systems).
Have a look here to take care of DNS push (OpenVPN will not do that for you by default): https://airvpn.org/topic/9608-how-to-accept-dns-push-on-linux-systems-with-resolvconf/ Open a terminal console, reach the directory where you stored the files generated by the Configuration Generator and launchsudo openvpn foo.ovpnif you already have installed the OpenVPN package, orsudo ./openvpn foo.ovpnif you have downloaded our bundled executable.
foo.ovpn is any *.ovpn files generated by the Config Generator. In the example we report "sudo" to run OpenVPN with root privileges. In some systems you might not have "sudo" available, or your account might be not included in the "sudo-ers". In these cases, you just need to run a terminal as root, or become root with "su" command.

Staff got a reaction from Stevieoo in New 1 Gbit/s server available: Hadar (HK) ...
Hello!
We're very glad to inform you that a new 1 Gbit/s server located in Hong Kong is available: Hadar.
The AirVPN client will show automatically the new server, while if you use the OpenVPN client you can generate all the files to access it through our configuration/certificates/key generator (menu "Client Area"->"Config generator").
The server accepts connections on ports 53, 80, 443, 2018 UDP and TCP.
Just like every other Air server, Hadar supports OpenVPN over SSL and OpenVPN over SSH.
As usual no traffic limits, no logs, no discrimination on protocols and hardened security against various attacks with separate entry and exit-IP addresses.
Do not hesitate to contact us for any information or issue.

Staff got a reaction from FlyingPiss in Three simultaneous connections per account allowed ...
@zhang888
You entered a logical flaw. In order to maintain a high privacy environment and a strong anonymity layer it is mandatory that we agree that logging is not a marketing term, but it means to keep a file to record past events so that they can be rebuilt in ANY arbitrary moment in the future.
If you extend the meaning of logging as you are doing, then the RAM image itself would mean "logging", or more generally any state at any given moment of any kind of a limited Turing machine would be a log. According to your definition every type of limited Turing machine logs and every state is a log (even if that state is destroyed in time) and the concepts of "anonymity layer" and "privacy" do not exist anymore as soon as any limited Turing machine or a computer is used, while on real world it is clear the difference (given the flow of time as we perceive it) between keeping information that can be used in any arbitrary moment in the future and NOT keeping them. Amongst other things, what here is relevant is that keeping a temporary information (for example, 1 byte) about whether a "connection" is established or not (which is mandatory to make Internet working) is not only totally irrelevant for privacy, but also and above all completely equivalent regardless of the value of that byte, from which the absurdity of your conclusion derives: there is no difference according to your definition in allowing n connections from one account, for each possible value of n, including n=1 and n=3.
Such philosophical discussion is completely irrelevant for our mission and for the purposes of our customers, for whom the concept of "anonymity" and "privacy" are preserved when no information can be rebuilt in an arbitrary future moment even if it is known that they were using a VPN service, but it can imply a real nice philosophical discussion that you are free to open in "Off Topic", but please not in this topic, thanks in advance.

Staff reacted to NaDre in ISP-s versus Backbone Providers - "Observations of an Internet Middleman" - Net Neutrality ...
I have not seen much discussion here about the struggles going on between ISP-s (especially in the U.S.) and backbone providers. And the effect it is having on customers. Including (I think) AirVPN users. So I thought I would post a link to a recent blog post on the Level 3 web site:
http://blog.level3.com/global-connectivity/observations-internet-middleman/
A note worthy bit:
"That leaves the remaining six peers with congestion on almost all of the interconnect ports between us. Congestion that is permanent, has been in place for well over a year and where our peer refuses to augment capacity. They are deliberately harming the service they deliver to their paying customers. They are not allowing us to fulfill the requests their customers make for content.
Five of those congested peers are in the United States and one is in Europe. There are none in any other part of the world. All six are large Broadband consumer networks with a dominant or exclusive market share in their local market. In countries or markets where consumers have multiple Broadband choices (like the UK) there are no congested peers."
While Level 3 and other backbone providers (e.g. Cogent) are refusing to give in, some service providers (e.g. Netflix) have caved in and made private agreements with ISP-s to let their traffic through the blockade:
http://www.forbes.com/sites/halsinger/2014/03/30/connections-between-communications-networks-should-the-fcc-breathe-life-into-internet-middlemen/
I know that people here are worried about the effect surveillance can have on the internet, but I think this should also very much be on people's minds.
UPDATE:
I changed the topic name to include "Net Neutrality", because it may not have been obvious that this falls into that general topic. See also this earlier post here by anonym:
/topic/11519-united-states-fcc-now-accepting-public-comments-on-net-neutrality/
Hopefully my post will help people understand that Net Neutrality is not just about lofty ideals. It can have a very real effect on the quality of your internet experience, even if you are not an idealist.

Staff reacted to iwih2gk in VPN over TOR questions ...
I am confused. You said you fully understand WHY folks hide TOR from "not least the ISP". But then you continue to struggle with VPN over TOR, which will NOT hide TOR use from your ISP. I just wanted to make sure you know that you are reversing the order. TOR over Air will obfuscate TOR use and your ISP will then be in the dark!!!!

Staff got a reaction from vpnair33 in Hulu Blocking USA Servers ...

We're glad to inform you that Hulu is working now from all the Air VPN servers. Fingers crossed.

Staff got a reaction from vpnair33 in Hulu Blocking USA Servers ...
Hello!
Keeping a high level of privacy on the Internet is much more important than accessing Hulu services. In this way Hulu tends to compel USA citizens to access the service without the necessary protection provided by a VPN or similar service. Voluntarily or not, copyright reasons or not, this is equivalent to yet another attempt to lower the privacy levels in the USA. Spreading VPN usage is a threat to USA surveillance. Finding ways to discourage people to use VPN services helps privacy intruders.
About copyright, this is pure nonsense. It is just an impulse to file sharing and other methods which are able to provide with much higher video and audio quality, without ads and without the various technical problems of streaming solutions (which in several cases prevent a proper, fluid and happy content fruition) more than what Hulu provides.
Kind regards
