Hello!

We're very glad to inform you that a new 1 Gbit/s full duplex server located in Auckland (NZ) is available: Theemin.

The AirVPN client will show automatically the new server. If you use any other OpenVPN or WireGuard client you can generate all the files to access it through our configuration/certificates/key generator (menu "Client Area"->"Config generator").

The server accepts OpenVPN connections on ports 53, 80, 443, 1194, 2018 UDP and TCP, and WireGuard connections on ports 1637, 47107 and 51820.

Just like every other Air server, Theemin supports OpenVPN over SSL and OpenVPN over SSH, TLS 1.3, tls-crypt and WireGuard.
Full IPv6 support is included as well.

As usual no traffic limits, no logs, no discrimination on protocols and hardened security against various attacks with separate entry and exit-IP addresses.

You can check the server status as usual in our real time servers monitor:
https://airvpn.org/servers/Theemin

Do not hesitate to contact us for any information or issue.

I tried both Mac M1 zip and dmg = same result.

Will try fix and report back

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!

An unexpected problem related to IPMI is causing a delay but we're working with the datacenter to resolve it as expeditiously as possible.

Hello!

For Eddie's manual, please type in a terminal "man eddie-ui".

To switch connection mode, in the "Preferences" > "Protocols" window please uncheck "Automatic", select the connection mode line you prefer (the line will be highlighted) and click "Save". The change will apply at the next connection. Eddie will prevent WireGuard selection if WireGuard is not installed in the system. WireGuard should have been installed during Eddie installation as a dependency, but please check.

Kind regards
 

Hello!

The quoted log entry shows that core problem. Debian 12 is based on nftables. Can you please check which of the following userspace utilities you have in your system: nft, iptables-legacy, iptables-nft, and any other iptables* ?

Kind regards
 

Hello!

Therefore, looking at the servers on the screenshot, it is possible that Community Fiber blocks M247: perhaps the block is not against AirVPN but against that big provider IP address blocks (whose HQ is, ironically, in the UK). As a counter-proof, please try connections to any non M247 server. In Europe, all the 10 Gbit/s servers are not with M247, and all the servers in the Netherlands, Estonia, Sweden and Latvia are not with M247. You can find other non-M247 servers in Czech Republic, Germany, Spain and Switzerland.
  List of 10 Gbit/s (full duplex) servers in Europe. Bulgaria: Wazn
Netherlands: Dalim, Menkent, Piautos
Sweden: Ain
Switzerland: Alpherg, Xuange

Could someone in UK please test all of the above and verify that they are not blocked?

We are working to add unmetered and dedicated 10 Gbit/s line in Germany (not with M247) as well.

Kind regards
 

Hello!

Good news. A new server in New Zealand was ordered early on January and it has just been connected. We are going to configure it in the next business day, and if everything goes well it will be available a few days later.

Best FF hardening resource I've ever found, https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js    This guy also used to go deep on FF (been a minute since I've read his stuff, but here's his ghacks homepage), https://www.ghacks.net/author/martin/ 

Thank you for this message. I did not want to be unfair toward your company. I've been nothing but satisfied with the service you provide in these 10 years. If I sounded too harsh (re-reading myself I think I did), sorry.

Since I asked a question in the OP, you've now provided the answer I hoped to get with the above. Now I'll wait and you surely have earned the goodwill for that in these 10 years.

Thanks again.

Hello!

We will investigate the issue you reported and we confirm that the expansion of the infrastructure proceeds exactly at the required pace as usual. We have recently completed in the USA the switch to all 10 Gbit/s dedicated lines in every strategic area and expansion in Europe has been remarkable in the last 2 years. Even Oceania and Asia have all seen remarkable expansions in the last 2 years.

We do not have doubts that your experience worsened and that will be a matter of investigation of course, but please note that saying "too many clients same bandwidth" is unfair. In April 2022, we provided in Europe 175000 Mbit/s, with a real required throughput of 37000 Mbit/s. The average connected clients at any given time were 8000-8500: https://web.archive.org/web/20220317052230/https://airvpn.org/status/

Today, we provide 446000 Mbit/s to about 18000 clients connected to Europe servers at any given time:
https://airvpn.org/status
with a real / required throughput of 190000 Mbit/s.

So, in 2022 the average real provided throughput was 4.6 Mbit/s per connection, while today it is 10.6 Mbit/s.

Even the required throughput top peaks of users sky rocketed. In 2022 they were around 400 Mbit/s, today between 800 Mbit/s and 2 Gbit/s.

All of the above not to say that we will be slowing the infrastructure expansion, but just to reassure you that the expansion has continued and is continuing at a fast pace according to needs. If any country is unbalanced within Europe we will of course fix the situation.

Kind regards

I have tried all but Xuange (reached the 5 connection limit) and all connected. Then tried Chow, Manchester and no connection. 

Hello,

I can confirm via Eddie and Community Fibre I can connect to all of the above servers.

Also just did a quick test of the some of the servers @tycoon21 couldn't connect to and had the same result.

The dutch servers are working ok via pfSense which I have been running since on openVPN.

Windows 8.1

Seems to work perfectly for now.

Thanks to the team and keep going the work.

AirVPN for ever 🏆

Hello. It's works without problem on Linux Mint 20.1 Ulyssa. Thanks for upgrade!

Hello!

Good news, we will start testing a 10 Gbit/s server in Germany before the end of January and if everything goes well we should make it available a few days later. We are waiting for the equipment to be connected between January 20 and 25.

Kind regards

Eddie 2.24.6 Desktop Edition released

Hello!
 
We're very glad to inform you that a new stable release of Eddie is now available for Linux (various ARM based architectures included, making it compatible with several Raspberry Pi systems), macOS, Windows.

Special thanks to all the beta testers, whose invaluable contributions and suggestions in the last months have helped developers fix several bugs and improve the overall stability of the software.

Eddie is a free and open source (GPLv3) OpenVPN GUI and CLI by AirVPN with many additional features such as:
traffic leaks prevention via packet filtering rules DNS handling optional connections over Tor or a generic proxy customizable events traffic splitting on a destination IP address or host name basis complete and swift integration with AirVPN infrastructure with OpenVPN and WireGuard white and black lists of VPN servers ability to support IPv4, IPv6 and IPv6 over IPv4
What's new in Eddie 2.24.6
  WireGuard is the new communication protocol by default, while OpenVPN remains available for any necessity CPU usage optimization update of packaged binaries and libraries new options to customize WireGuard improved management and configuration of bootstrap servers (qualified domain names are now possible too) systemd-resolved (Linux) enhanced compatibility for all working modes improved management of SIGTERM signal several bug fixes  
Operating and architectural notes

Eddie GUI and CLI run with normal user privileges, while a "backend" binary, which communicates to the user interface with authentication, gains root/administrator privileges, with important security safeguards in place:
strict parsing is enforced before passing a profile to OpenVPN in order to block insecure OpenVPN directives external system binaries which need superuser privileges (examples: openvpn, iptables, hummingbird) will not be launched if they do not belong to a superuser Eddie events are not run with superuser privileges: instead of trusting blindly user's responsibility and care when dealing with events, the user is required to explicitly operate to run something with high privileges, if strictly necessary
Backend binary is written in C++ on all systems (Windows included), making the whole application faster.

Settings, certificates and keys of your account stored on your mass storage can optionally be encrypted on all systems either with a Master Password or in a system key-chain if available.
Download Eddie 2.24.6

Eddie 2.24.6 can be downloaded here:
https://airvpn.org/linux - Linux version (several architectures and various distribution specific packages for easier installation)
