Hello!

We confirm that we actively keep "our" IP addresses out of major blacklists, including the sector leader Spamhaus. Most address providers mandate that this is done as they want to keep their addresses "clean". Unfortunately there are thousands of black lists so it is not possible to know and intervene on all of them. About the IP address you mention, you can see here that it's "clean" on almost 100% of the minor black lists and on 100% of the major ones.

Hello!

Thank you very much! After your guide has been tested, we are going to split your message in the "How To" forum and make it a guide for Plex remote access via Proxmox on AirVPN. 

Kind regards
 

Hello!

The default setting has been picked to meet the needs of most networks (except specific PPPoE networks: they have 8 bytes encapsulation overhead so a WireGuard's interface MTU of 1280 bytes may become necessary) and minimizing the performance sacrifice you suffer with smaller transfer units. However the "recommended" label is not correct, noticed. It all depends on your network so it's incorrect to say that any specific value is recommended, we apologize for the inaccuracy. 

Kind regards
 

We have kept the OP message to show the pervasiveness of the PRC's propaganda lackeys. We consider Taiwan (Republic of China) to be independent and autonomous from the PRC (People's Republic of China), as it is in fact. ipleak uses MaxMind and IANA databases to display results, and we are pleased that these are aligned with an anti-imperialist and democratic vision that is clearly unpalatable to the dictatorial regime of the PRC, which sees it as an obstacle to its expansionist ambitions.

Hello!

This is by design to avoid permanent lock out on remotely accessed machines while allowing non-VPN traffic when wished. Please also note that the article is wrong in telling that there's a leak during a system reboot even when network lock is enabled: the leak may occur only if the Network Lock has not been engaged, for example if you have not started the AirVPN software.

On Linux systems you also have the option of setting a persistent network lock with Bluetit daemon, a component of the AirVPN Suite. As soon as the daemon starts it enforces the network lock, no matter whether a connection is started or not. If you have a systemd based Linux distribution, please note that the asinine systemd init startup is not deterministic and this is of course not our responsibility. Therefore you can't be sure when Bluetit will be started, regardless of the priority you wish.

If you need permanent blocking firewall rules surviving reboots even when the VPN software is not running the solution is straightforward: set permanent firewall rules as explained in various articles (a recent one is here https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/69097-permanent-kill-switch-for-eddie-client) or follow the suggestion included in the very same article you linked. Be aware that this setup is problematic on remotely accessed machines.

Kind regards
 

Hello!

Something like this will do the trick, starting from a clean status and Windows Firewall enabled. Make sure you operate from a Powershell with administrator privileges. The rules will survive at reboot. You must adjust your local network address/netmask (change 192.168.0.0/16 and fe80::/10 if necessary). Do not proceed if you don't understand exactly every single command; instead, get documented first.
  netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Allow DHCPv4" protocol=UDP dir=out localport=67,68 action=allow netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Allow DHCPv6" protocol=UDP dir=out localport=546,547 action=allow netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Allow Local IPv4 Network" protocol=TCP dir=out remoteip=192.168.0.0/16 action=allow netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Allow Local IPv6 Network" protocol=TCP dir=out remoteip=fe80::/10 action=allow netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Allow Localhost Outbound" dir=out action=allow remoteip=127.0.0.1 netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Block All Other Outbound Traffic" dir=out action=block protocol=any
You may also consider to backup the rules and enable them only when needed, instead of keeping them permanent. Check your system manual to do this.

Kind regard
 

Hello!

Please check your setup against the following guide:
https://airvpn.org/faq/p2p/

On top of that, we have noticed a malfunction in some qBittorrent version (for example 4.5.5) in FreeBSD and Linux related to binding. If you set Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Optional IP addresses to bind to into All addresses, qBittorrent will reply only to IPv6 packets. If that's your case too, set that combo box to All IPv4 addresses. For additional safety you can also set the Network interface combo box (available in the same advanced menu) to your VPN interface. Always run qBittorrent only after a VPN connection has been successfully established.

Kind regards

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!

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. 

Kind regards
 

Hello!

Yes, definitely. We will consider it seriously and keep you posted.

Over 500 GB of source code, work logs, and internal communication records were leaked, revealing details of the GFW’s research, development, and operations.
