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

Hello!
 
We're very glad to inform you that a new Eddie Air client version has been released: 2.9.
 
2.9 version is compatible with several Linux distributions. For very important notes about environments, please read here: https://airvpn.org/forum/35-client-software-platforms-environments
 
Eddie 2.9 includes bug fixes and changes meeting users' requests and preferences. It includes additional options for Network Lock to enable communications inside LAN and to allow ICMP, a new, reliable method to check DNS, an option for Windows and OS X to disable IPv6, connection to authentication servers via IP addresses instead of names and much more.
 
Please read the changelog: https://airvpn.org/services/changelog.php?software=client&format=html
 
Upgrade is strongly recommended.
 
Just like previous version 2.8, Eddie implements direct Tor support for OpenVPN over Tor connections. Eddie makes OpenVPN over Tor easily available to Linux and OS X users: no needs for Virtual Machines, middle boxes or other special configurations. Windows users will find a more friendly approach as well. This mode is not handled anymore as a generic connection to a socks proxy, but it is specifically designed for Tor and therefore solves multiple issues, especially in Linux and OS X, including the "infinite routing loop" problem (see for example http://tor.stackexchange.com/questions/1232/me-tor-vpn-how/1235#1235 )
 
As far as we know, Eddie is the first and currently the only OpenVPN wrapper that natively allows OpenVPN over Tor connections for multiple Operating Systems. https://airvpn.org/tor
 
We recommend that you upgrade Eddie as soon as possible.
 
Eddie 2.9 for Linux can be downloaded here: https://airvpn.org/linux
Eddie 2.9 for Windows can be downloaded here: https://airvpn.org/windows
Eddie 2.9 for OS X Mavericks and Yosemite only can be downloaded here: https://airvpn.org/macosx
 
PLEASE NOTE: Eddie 2.9 package includes an OpenVPN version re-compiled by us with OpenSSL 1.0.1k for security reasons and to fix this bug: https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/ticket/328
 
Eddie overview is available here: https://airvpn.org/software
Eddie includes a Network Lock feature: https://airvpn.org/faq/software_lock
Eddie 2.9 is free and open source software released under GPLv3. GitHub repository https://github.com/AirVPN/airvpn-client

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.

Hello Staff,
I was actually talking -only- about 46.182.35.0/24, I don't know why you mentioned a /20 earlier,
They only have a single /21 -  in that range which is divided as follows:
46.182.32.0/21 - Parent
 
46.182.32.0/24 - Portugal
46.182.33.0/24 - Portugal
46.182.34.0/24 - Brazil
46.182.35.0/24 - Spain
46.182.36.0/24 - UK
46.182.37.0/24 - Portugal
46.182.38.0/24 - Portugal
46.182.39.0/24 - Portugal
 
but they don't need to change the NETNAME on the entire /21, just on that particular /24, which is all
assigned for Madrid colocation anyway.
 
inetnum:        46.182.35.0 - 46.182.35.255
netname:        PT-BITCANAL
descr:          Bitcanal PoP Madrid
descr:          Bitcanal INFRA-AW
 
Right now they only have to change only a single record, NETNAME on 46.182.35.0/24, to something like ES-BITCANAL in
the RIPE database, because we have an overlapping NETNAME object in 46.182.39.0/24 for Portugal.
 
inetnum: 46.182.39.0 - 46.182.39.255
netname: PT-BITCANAL
descr: Bitcanal VoIP
country: PT
 
Trust me, it will do wonders and Maxmind will catch it in less than a month, and the TV stations will follow them most certainly.

Hello!
 
If in a VPN service you read "we have a server in country X", you expect:
- that the server is physically located in country X
or
- that it can be located anywhere in the world, the important thing is that its IP address is located in country X by some database

Nihal is in Madrid, Spain.
 
In this specific case, it's also correctly located in Spain, since a year ago:
https://apps.db.ripe.net/search/lookup.html?source=ripe&key=46.182.35.0%20-%2046.182.35.255&type=inetnum
 
so there is absolutely no justification for wrong databases in this case. This is just another proof that a 100% reliable geo-location based on IP addresses is a myth.
 
We comply to the first expectation: Nihal is in Spain, we report it as in Spain.

Now consider this:
fr1-ovpn.purevpn.net
resolves into
94.249.174.130,
GHOSTnet GmbH, that has servers only in Germany.

Search in PureVPN http://www.purevpn.com/server_location.php for France.
They list it under 'France' country.
But, at least, they report this kind of server as "Virtual (Via Europe)".

However, a lot of our competitors claim to cover hundreds of countries, when actually their servers are outside those countries and they have only re-located the IP address.
We think this is not a honest behavior and that it is a disrespectful approach to customers.
A honest VPN reviews website must ascertain and declare whether the provider lies about the alleged countries, or at least specify if the servers are really in the alleged countries or not.
 
Kind regards

Hello!
 
AirVPN is not vulnerable to DNS hi-jacking because VPN DNS server and gateway IP addresses match.
 
The paper is outdated because their tests were performed on VPN servers with a /30 topology that we kept to maintain compatibility with Windows OpenVPN 2.0.9 and some older versions. After the draft paper preview they kindly provided us with months ago, we decided to speed up Windows OpenVPN 2.0.9 support drop, which made sense in 2010 but not now.
 
Current topology allows to have the same IP address for VPN DNS server and VPN gateway, solving the vulnerability at its roots, months before the publication of the paper.
 
Unfortunately they could not manage to fix the paper, purely for problems of time we suppose, which remained outdated.
 
The quickest way to prevent IPv6 leaks with our service is just enabling Network Lock with a click, for those who don't want to disable IPv6. You can also disable IPv6 with a click, provided that you run our client Eddie for Windows or OS X (version 2.9 or higher is required; feature not available in Eddie for Linux).

EDIT: we wish now to underline that since 2018 we also support IPv6 and IPv6 over IPv4.

Hello,
 
FTP servers and client work just fine in AirVPN. The FTP server requires specific setup due to how an FTP daemon maps ports for the client, please see https://airvpn.org/topic/1700-ftp-server-and-client-on-air-vpn/?do=findComment&comment=1702
 
Assuming that everything was correctly set on your side (and it seems it's ok, because little files can be transferred succuessfully), then the issue looks like an MTU size problem. Try with directive "mssfix". Insert
mssfix 1400 in the "Custom" field which appears in "AirVPN" -> "Preferences" -> "Advanced" -> "OVPN directives", click "Save", start a new VPN connection and test again. 
If necessary, decrease the mssfix value at steps of 50 (for example "mssfix 1350", "mssfix 1300" and so on) until the problem is resolved. If the problem is not solved, then it's probably not an MTU size issue.
