Hello!
 
Some additional considerations on the whole discussion. It seems somehow paradoxical that some of our customers explicitly ask for Net Neutrality violation when they look exactly for a service capable to respect Net Neutrality with no discriminations against any protocol. As soon as Net Neutrality respect brings inconveniences created by third-parties, we are somehow invited to send such respect into the trashcan. We tend to think that it would be more appropriate and honest to focus energy and protests against those services whose administrators actively contribute to destroy the open Internet, with Tor indiscriminate bans, huge blacklists which block millions of IP addresses just because they are 'used as NAT' or because they are used to operate dedicated servers. It seems unquestionable that the concept behind such actions is an Internet where end-to-end principle and privacy are deemed as negative features to be fought.
 
Remember our philosophy and mission: banning a server of ours because it's a source of problems appears as a very questionable action.
It is the same error that some services do with Tor: to hit someone, they ban innocent users who love their privacy or who are forced to use Tor to bypass censorship in their country.
 
If our servers or a Tor node are performing vulnerability scan, service needs to fix the vulnerability, not blame who caught it red handed.
If our servers or a Tor node are wasting a service resource, service operators need to learn how to configure well their systems.
If a service can't afford a method to manage spam, it should close the discussion system, it would be better for all.
 
For all of the above, AirVPN will never violate Net Neutrality, and so we'll never commit any action to help "incompetent services".
 
Kind regards

Case study: Currently (04/12/2014 00:49) users on Riguel cannot edit Wikipedia.

The Riguel exit IP is 95.211.186.118.

MaxMind - https://www.maxmind.com/en/home
considers that IP address as Anonymous Proxy.

whatismyipaddress.com - http://whatismyipaddress.com/geolocation-providers
uses MaxMind database.

Wikipedia has its own project to detect proxy.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_on_open_proxies

We entered the Riguel exit IP in the unblock requests area, and this message has been displayed:





Conclusion: Wikipedia prevents Riguel users to edit articles only because MaxMind considers Riguel as a proxy. No Tor or other reason in this case.

Install from Google Play Store OpenVPN Connect, the official OpenVPN client for Android developed by OpenVPN Technologies, Inc. Launch your internet browser.
NOTE: don't use the default Android browser because it has an unresolved bug.
Chrome and Opera have been tested by us and work. Log in the AirVPN website and create the configuration files from our Config Generator.
Choose Linux as platform (only direct TCP and UDP connections are supported) and finally click then "Generate" button to download it. Downloaded .ovpn files may be imported directly into the application but the behavior depends on many factors (employed browser, files manager, Android version, etc).
For simplicity's sake, we assume in this guide that you saved .ovpn generated files under the Download's directory in the Android filesystem. Launch OpenVPN Connect and click on the top right menu button:
Click on the "Import" button:
Click on "Import Profile from SD card":
Browse your *.ovpn files:
Select your configuration of choice:
Confirm the import by clicking the "Select" button:
Click on the "Connect" button to connect:
Confirm Android security prompt dialog:
Wait for the connection's bootstrap process:
The VPN tunnel is now established:
When you need to disconnect from the VPN click on the "Disconnect" button:

Hello!
 
From Black Friday till Cyber Monday you'll just need to go on the linked page, read the code and use it to get the discount on any subscription plan.

Hello,
 
you can already do it by yourself. Each account can establish up to 3 concurrent connections so multi-hop solutions are trivial. However "multi-hopping" on servers all owned by the same company is not an optimal solution, you might prefer OpenVPN over TOR, or TOR over OpenVPN, which are much safer.

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.

Hello!
 
The screenshot shows that there are no DNS leaks from your Windows machine.
 
In order to activate OpenVPN over SSL, in our client Eddie go to "AirVPN" -> "Preferences" -> "Protocol", select "SSL Tunnel - Port 443", click "Save" and connect to a VPN server.
 
Kind regards

Hello!

We're very glad to inform you that five new 1 Gbit/s servers located in the Netherlands are available: Ceres, Julliet, Pallas, Riguel and Sedna.

The AirVPN client will show automatically the new servers, while if you use the OpenVPN client you can generate all the files to access them 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, Ceres, Julliet, Pallas, Riguel and Sedna support 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.

Kind regards and datalove

Hello!
 
The implications of the paper are completely different than what the message seems to suggest. In particular how did you get the idea that "If you use TOR, there's a 81.6% chance someone knows your real IP." from the paper? It says quite the opposite, i.e. that even if the attack was successful, the likelihood to get your real IP address is astronomically low.
 
Besides paper reading, https://blog.torproject.org/blog/traffic-correlation-using-netflows can help. Do not miss the comments from the paper authors themselves.It looks like several persons are taking this paper implications at the exact opposite of what they are. Urban legends seem to spread very fast even nowadays.
