Hello!

You're trying connections over IPv6 and they all fail. Please make sure that both your router and ISP support IPv6. If in doubt, try a connection over IPv4 (*). If the problem persists, can you please publish a system report generated by Eddie? Please see here:
https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/50663-youve-been-asked-for-a-support-filesystem-report-–-heres-what-to-do/

(*) In Eddie, you can switch between IPv4 and IPv6 layers for the VPN connection on "Preferences" > "Networking" window.

Kind regards
 

Hello!

Can you please try again now?

Hello and thank you!
 
The maximum discount you can get ("up to") is 67.5% with a 2 years plan. You pay 54.60 EUR for 2 years, i.e. 2.28 EUR/month, instead of 7 EUR/month (saving exactly 67.5%). 
 
If you compare the new plan with the 1 year plan, then the special deal makes you save anyway 50% (you pay 54.60 EUR for two years, instead of 54 EUR for 1 year).
 
Math doesn't lie, the above comparisons are perfectly legitimate and compliant to the best practices of transparent advertising and the calculations are correct.

Hello!

We're very glad to announce that Eddie Android edition 4.0.0 beta 2 is now available. 
 
New: how to use Eddie in network where the "bootstrap" servers can not be reached
Eddie downloads user and infrastructure data, essential to use the service, from special "bootstrap servers" through an encrypted flow inside HTTP. If the bootstrap servers are blocked or the underlying protocol to port 80 is filtered out, Eddie is unable to proceed. Starting from Eddie 4 beta 2 version, the ability to retrieve such data locally has been added. Whenever bootstrap servers are unreachable, Eddie can read the latest available local data to connect to a VPN server. Once connected the bootstrap servers are again reachable and the local data are immediately updated for future usage. The local data remain valid as long as you don't need to change user.

On top of all of the above, Eddie can now retrieve such data through the login procedure that now can be started even when a connection to a VPN server was previously established via a profile. Therefore, when you are in a restrictive network that blocks access to bootstrap servers, you can connect through a profile generated by AirVPN web site Configuration Generator. After this first connection, log your account in to the service by selecting the specific option on the left pane, enter your AirVPN account credentials as usual and make sure that Remember me checkbox is ticked: Eddie will download all the necessary files and store them locally.

This procedure is "once and for all", at least as long as you don't need to change account. After this initial connection, Eddie will be able to log your account in to the infrastructure, retrieve servers data and establish connections without profiles and without bootstrap servers, offering again full AirVPN integration even when bootstrap servers are unreachable. Only If you change account you must repeat the procedure.
New: "Open with..." option added to "Share" option
Different Android versions allow management of files with different restrictions. Different apps may support different intents on specific Android versions. To enlarge total compatibility, now Eddie offers two different options to export and manage files, including generated profiles. You will find the usual "Share" option coupled with a new "Open with..." option. Some apps support only one intent, other apps only specific intents on specific Android versions, and so on. By adding this option Eddie enlarges considerably the amount of apps you will be able to open and/or share files with.
New: AmneziaWG parameters range validity
AmneziaWG parameter range validity has been documented in three different ways (official web site, GitHub documentation files, and developers comment) and the web site documentation that it's still official is in reality not aligned with the source code. The new parameters range validation adopted by Eddie 4.0.0 beta 2 is based now on GitHub latest documentation integrated by source code analysis.

The original message of this thread has been updated accordingly. You will find on it the new download link and checksum, as well as detailed Amnezia description.

If you decide to test, please report at your convenience any bug and problem in this thread. If possible generate a report from the app in a matter of seconds: by tapping the paper plane icon on the Log view bar rightmost side you will generate a full system report which will include both log and logcat and have it sent to our servers. Then you just need to send us the link the app shows you (open a ticket if you prefer to do it in private).

Hello!

Starting from February 1st, 2026, Debian (e.g. Trixie) enforces stricter OpenPGP policies and no longer accepts repository signatures involving SHA1-based certifications.

As a result, users may see errors such as:
 
Get:4 http://eddie.website/repository/apt stable InRelease [3,954 B]          Err:4 http://eddie.website/repository/apt stable InRelease   Sub-process /usr/bin/sqv returned an error code (1), error message is: Signing key on C181AC89FA667E317F423998513EFC94400D7698 is not bound:            No binding signature at time 2025-01-14T13:07:46Z   because: Policy rejected non-revocation signature (PositiveCertification) requiring second pre-image resistance   because: SHA1 is not considered secure since 2026-02-01T00:00:00Z Warning: OpenPGP signature verification failed: http://eddie.website/repository/apt stable InRelease: Sub-process /usr/bin/sqv returned an error code (1), error message is: Signing key on C181AC89FA667E317F423998513EFC94400D7698 is not bound:            No binding signature at time 2025-01-14T13:07:46Z   because: Policy rejected non-revocation signature (PositiveCertification) requiring second pre-image resistance   because: SHA1 is not considered secure since 2026-02-01T00:00:00Z Error: The repository 'http://eddie.website/repository/apt stable InRelease' is not signed. Notice: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default. Notice: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.



This was caused by an outdated signing key certification used by the repository.
 
Solution

The repository signing key has been regenerated and the repository is now correctly signed again.
To restore updates, please re-import the updated maintainer key:
 
curl -fsSL https://eddie.website/repository/keys/eddie_maintainer_gpg.key | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/eddie.website-keyring.asc > /dev/null
Then run:
 
sudo apt update

Hello!

Thank you for linking to this interesting and well written article.
 
Yes, it has been highlighted by Windscribe, by us, and by multiple sources as early as 2022. For example:
https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/53136-vpn-companies-relationship-mesh/?tab=comments#comment-189777

and you may also like to check the search results:
https://airvpn.org/search/?q=crossrider
 
The company name, VAT ID and the Registration Code at the Chamber of Commerce of Italy is written at the bottom of each web site page. Through the European Commission VIES you can verify the company data by entering the VAT ID:
https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/#/vat-validation

If you have a subscription to a business intelligence and analytics reporting companies, for example Dun & Bradstreet, you can also get more information such as business reliability, solvency and so on, which, when correlated to other information, for example donations to specific organizations, can provide you with at least clues of what you may look for.

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.

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:

Hello!

VPNs are not in the scope of both the legislation and trivial tech considerations, as we don't have the keys for the communications: chat, instant messages and e-mails are encrypted end-to-end without our keys, but with the keys of the parties and/or the keys of the service offering e-mail / chat / messaging service, so we can't decrypt anything in any case. 

With that said, this abomination must be fought. We repute it is incompatible with the Charter of Fundamental Rights and with various CJEU decisions on data retention and privacy. We feel to share the position and the consideration offered by Tuta and EDRi here and here:
https://tuta.com/blog/chat-control-criticism
https://edri.org/our-work/most-criticised-eu-law-of-all-time/

Unfortunately, opposition has become more difficult because big AI actors see chat control as a great opportunity and they have spent tens of millions to lobby in favor of this abominable regulation. This is the main explanation that tells you why various politicians have changed their positions.

Hello!

We are very pleased to inform you that we are taking the necessary steps to completely renovate our infrastructure in the United Kingdom.

The current servers will be dismissed and replaced by six 10 Gbit/s servers with newer and much more powerful hardware. Each 10 Gbit/s server will be connected to a full duplex 10 Gbit/s dedicated line and port. Each new server replaces 2.5 current 1 Gbit/s servers in order to increase remarkably the available bandwidth per connected client.

At the end of the upgrade, UK will offer a theoretical peak of 60 Gbit/s (full duplex) instead of the current 15 Gbit/s, through adequately powerful servers.

According to our plan, three servers will be located in London and three in Manchester. The new servers will start operations around 19-22 February 2026. Current 1 Gbit/s servers will cease operations on the night between 28 February and 01 March (UTC). Any plan changes and/or delays will be communicated promptly.

UPDATE 2026-02-24: the servers are almost ready and will be available not later than 2026-02-25 (UTC). Because of the unforeseen delay, we are considering to extend the current 1 Gbit/s UK servers operations up to the end of March 2026.

UPDATE 2026-02-25: all the new servers are operational and the old servers will be decommissioned on 2026-02-28 (UTC).

Hello!

Not anymore, and even less in the near future. HTTP/3 is quickly spreading. Today, HTTP/3 is used by 36.5% of all the websites, including major web sites inside countries that enforce blocks against VPN. Furthemore, blocking UDP as such is no more realistic, not even in China, where UDP has become an instrumental protocol for many companies in any sector (video streaming, video conference, VoIP, marketing, social media marketing, regime propaganda and more), for regime aligned or regime owned activities.
 
In China you have a near 100% success rate and no shaping (apart from the normal shaping for anything outside China) with the current Amnezia "weak obfuscation" (no CPS) implementation, i.e. at the moment you don't even need QUIC mimicking (which is anyway available and very effective). Currently, bypassing blocks via UDP than via TCP is more efficient in China.
 
At the moment there is nothing more effective than mimicking QUIC with the signature / fingerprint of an existing web site that's not blocked, and you have this option right now. We see > 95% success rate, which is better than the success rates of SSH (not exceeding 75%), shadowsocks and XRay, V2Ray etc (but a lot faster!). The success rate is similar to any VPN protocol over HTTP/2, but, again, dramatically faster.
 
We're glad to know it. It is also very flexible. Thanks to CPS, you may mimic any transport layer protocol built on UDP, for example DNS, QUIC, SIP.

Kind regards
