What is a VPN?

VPN is an acronym of Virtual Private Network. Our VPN extends the private network across the Internet. It enables your computer (the "client") to send and receive data across the Internet through dedicated nodes ("the VPN servers") as if those data were an integral part of the private network. This is achieved through a point-to-point OpenVPN (in routing mode) connection. The connection is encrypted and each packet is authenticated both by your client and our servers, so that nobody (including your ISP) between your computer and the VPN server can see the data you transmit and receive, the real origin and destinations of such data, and, last but not least, can inject forged packets into your stream of data. The picked encryption cipher meets higher-than-military security requirements. 
Additionally, when your client has established a point-to-point encrypted connection (often referred to as "the tunnel"), your data will "get to the Internet" without any reference to your real IP address, which is simply no more inside the packets. Anybody on the Internet will therefore see your packets as coming from our VPN servers exit-IP addresses, not from your real IP address, protecting you against privacy intruders and other malignant entities, such as sniffers in public WiFi hot-spots, hi-jackers, profilers and disturbed "copyright trolls".
 
You don't need to configure applications to use "the tunnel", because our servers perform a set of route and default gateway pushes that your client accepts: your applications are "tunneled" transparently. OpenVPN encapsulates your packets inside an UDP or TCP stream, therefore all same or higher layer protocols are supported, making a VPN a profoundly different and highly superior solution to any http or socks proxy.

You provide Remote Port Forwarding, what is it?
 
"Remote port forwarding" forwards traffic coming from the Internet to our VPN server ports to a specified local port of your client.

By default, your account has no forwarded ports, and this is good as long as you don't wish to have a service reachable from the Internet. For example, suppose that you want to run a web server behind our VPN, or that you wish to receive incoming connections to your BitTorrent client in order to improve p2p performance, or to seed a file. Without at least one remotely forwarded port, your service could not be reached from the outside, because our VPN server would reject the proper packets to your service.

Usually this is a good security measure against attacks, but it prevents your services to be reached from the Internet.

When you remotely forward an inbound port, our servers will open that port (TCP, UDP or both, according to your selection) and will properly forward incoming packets to you on that port. The service will be reachable from the exit-IP address of the VPN server your system is connected to.

You can forward up to 20 ports simultaneously. You can do that on our website, in your account "Client Area". You can't forward ports lower than 2048.

You can map a remotely forwarded port to a different local port: this is useful for a variety of cases, for example when your service listens to a port lower than 2048 or when the port is already reserved. More details about it here below.

Once you reserve an inbound remote port for your account, you have two options:

1) Leave the "Local" field empty. In this case, packets arriving to the VPN server exit-IP address port n will be forwarded to your machine IP address inbound local port with the very same number n

2) Fill in the "Local" field with a different port number x. In this case packets arriving to port n will be forwarded to your system inbound local port x.

In both cases you need to reach the service on the VPN server exit-IP address port n.


IMPORTANT: do NOT forward on your router the same ports you use on your listening services while connected to the VPN. Doing so exposes your system to correlation attacks and potentially causes unencrypted packets to be sent outside the tunnel from your client. However, if you connect a router (for example DD-WRT, Tomato based firmware router) an additional step is required, please see https://airvpn.org/topic/9270-how-to-forward-ports-in-dd-wrt-tomato-with-iptables/  
NOTE: you can't reach your listening service(s) through the VPN server exit-IP address from the very same machine that's running it/them and is connected to a VPN server, or from any other machine connected to that same VPN server.

How can I get VPN servers entry-IP addresses?
 
AirVPN servers have at least 4 entry-IP addresses (4 IPv4 and equivalent 4 IPv6 addresses). Different entry-IP addresses provide different tunnel protocols or abilities, please see https://airvpn.org/specs

We have Fully Qualified Domain Names that resolve into one of the recommended server entry-IP addresses or ALL entry-IP addresses, in both cases according to geographical location. Such FQDNs are used automatically by our Configuration Generator.

The recommended server is updated every 5 minutes, to balance users between servers.

Available FQDNs which resolve into the entry-IP address you need are explained below:
  {name [entry-IP address number]}.vpn.airdns.org - to obtain the best entry-IPv4 address for specified name. {name [entry-IP address number]}.ipv6.vpn.airdns.org - to obtain the best entry-IPv6 address for specified name. {name [entry-IP address number]}.all.vpn.airdns.org - to obtain all IPv4 and IPv6 entry addresses for the specified name which can be an ISO two-letters country code (ISO-3166), a continent ('europe', 'america',' asia', 'oceania', 'africa'), or 'earth' {server name}.airservers.org for entry-IPv4 address 1 of a specific server. Note that resolution by server name is limited, so use the Configuration Generator or contact us if you need specific addresses you can't obtain via DNS. You can see server names in the real time servers monitor in our web site page https://airvpn.org/status
[entry-IP number] is the entry-IP address number (2, 3  4), and it is optional. Don't valorize it in order to obtain the first entry-IP address, otherwise suffix the country code with the proper digit (e.g. 'be' for Belgium recommended/best rated server first entry-IP address, 'be3' for Belgium recommended server third entry-IP address).
Examples
nl.vpn.airdns.org resolves into the recommended server first entry-IPv4 for country NL (the Netherlands) nl.ipv6.vpn.airdns.org resolves into the recommended server entry-IPv6 address for country NL (the Netherlands) ca3.vpn.airdns.org  resolves into the recommended server third entry-IPv4 address (tls-crypt connection) for country CA (Canada) europe.all.vpn.airdns.org resolves into all the first entry addresses of all VPN servers in continent Europe. alshat.airservers.org resolves into the first entry address of server whose name is "Alshat".   Command line examples

Obtain every first entry address (both IPv4 and IPv6) for all servers in Switzerland, asking directly our authoritative DNS server. Windows: nslookup ch.all.vpn.airdns.org dns1.airvpn.org Linux: dig ANY ch.all.vpn.airdns.org @dns1.airvpn.org +short

   

What is the difference between protocols?

UDP is a connectionless protocol, so during the handshake it is not always possible to do an effective error correction. As a result, when there's high ping or low quality line during the OpenVPN login, the handshake may fail, although you could see no significant problem after (if) the connection is established.
TCP is capable of handling these problems.

On the other hand, UDP is more efficient once the connection is established. OpenVPN also implements a basic packets error correction even in UDP (only after the tunnel is established).

If you experience problems with VoIP video/audio conversations when connected to the VPN through a TCP port, a typical case for which a difference may be visible (VoIP over TCP - for example UDP over TCP -  is clearly inferior to VoIP over UDP because TCP implements ARQ, UDP does not), then go for an UDP connection.

In general, you should always try an UDP connection if your ISP allows it and you don't experience any problem during the handshake.
However, TCP is mandatory if you need a proxy to reach the Internet. VPN over TOR connections require a TCP connection.

Variety of ports (53, 80, 443) is an additional option to try to bypass country or ISPs blocks, or bandwidth management. When OpenVPN connections are disrupted by your ISP (this happens for sure in China and Iran) then you need OpenVPN over SSL or OpenVPN over SSH supported by every AirVPN server and requiring, again, TCP.

Hello!
 
You need to insert the directive "reneg-sec" in your OpenVPN client configuration (see below a paste from the OpenVPN manual). Detailed instructions vary according to the client or OpenVPN wrapper you're running. With our client Eddie you can insert the directive in "AirVPN" -> "Preferences" -> "Advanced" -> "OVPN directives". Enter "reneg-sec 1800" in the left box reserved to additional directives, click "Save" and start a connection with a VPN server.
 
Kind regards
 
--reneg-sec n
Renegotiate data channel key after n seconds (default=3600). When using dual-factor authentication, note that this default value may cause the end user to be challenged to reauthorize once per hour.
Also, keep in mind that this option can be used on both the client and server, and whichever uses the lower value will be the one to trigger the renegotiation. A common mistake is to set --reneg-sec to a higher value on either the client or server, while the other side of the connection is still using the default value of 3600 seconds, meaning that the renegotiation will still occur once per 3600 seconds. The solution is to increase --reneg-sec on both the client and server, or set it to 0 on one side of the connection (to disable), and to your chosen value on the other side.
