Hello!

Eddie doesn't support traffic splitting on an application basis, we're sorry. This feature is available in the AirVPN Suite 2 preview versions for x86-64 based Linux systems. A build for ARM 64 bit will be ready in the near future, please stay tuned:
https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/56704-linux-airvpn-suite-200-preview-available/

The Suite (which lacks a GUI that anyway you don't need) will let you use reverse traffic splitting. It's not what you aim for, because the Suite tunnels everything except what you run outside the tunnel, while you need the "complementary" thing (i.e. tunnel nothing but one application) but it might be useful anyway.

Alternatively, containers can be considered, so that only a container traffic is tunneled.The torrent program would run in the container. Gluetun features native AirVPN support but we have never tried to build it on a Raspberry OS (did anybody tried this?) but it is possible according to documentation and some reports. Gluetun is based on Alpine for a Docker image with a very small RAM footprint.

Kind regards

Hello!

Set the link MTU size identical to the size set by Mullvad and then increase at little steps. 20 bytes by 20 bytes. Consider that: Mullvad software forces the MTU size to 1280 bytes (at least some time ago, we don't know whether they changed it recently) Eddie 2.21.8 lets WireGuard set the MTU size and it does not offer an option to change it. If WireGuard makes a wrong choice Eddie 2.21 can't fix it Eddie 2.23.x sets MTU size to 1320 bytes but also lets you change it in Preferences > WireGuard window, a new feature. If you want to test it: https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/56428-eddie-desktop-223-beta-released/ if you run native WireGuard utilities you can change MTU size by entering the directive MTU = n, where n is in bytes, in the [Interface] section of the configuration file. You can edit it with any text editor each time you change MTU size you must re-start the connection to apply the change. Perform the speed tests to fine tune and find the optimal MTU size for your network. Rationale: too small and too big MTU sizes deeply impair performance. In the first case there's a waste of room in the frame, in the second case a whole packet must be re-sent for each packet too large for the frame.

Feel free to open a ticket if you need support directly from the AirVPN support team.

 
This is the community forum so it's not the proper place as the community can't do anything about it obviously. If you decide for a refund you will need to open a ticket (click "Contact us" on the web site or write to support@airvpn.org).

In your fantasy world only. In AirVPN 2FA is based on TOTP https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-based_one-time_password which does not require any Google app and does not require any phone number. TOTP is an open protocol described by IETF in RFC 6238

Hello!

@cccthats3cs

Thank you very much, those documents are interesting indeed.

All the matter is indeed a risk which we warned our users about according to their threat model since AirVPN's birth. The described investigation techniques may be instrumental to bring to justice criminals without enforcing provider to blanket data retention, and therefore they show once again the correctness of the Court of Justice of the European Union which forbade repeatedly EU Member States to oblige any ISP to perform blanket data retention. We're also pleased to see that
AirVPN made no technical mistake instrumental to the suspect's incrimination and that a "trap and trace" device had to be physically installed outside AirVPN servers Unfortunately the same methods might also be used by powerful crime organizations or agencies of regimes hostile to human rights to find out and suppress activists, "dissidents" and limit freedom of expression and information.

For this reason we wrote extensively about how to defeat easily such powerful adversaries (provided of course that your system is pristine, not compromised, an essential pre-requisite). In 2012 we published this for example:
https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/54-using-airvpn-over-tor/?tab=comments#comment-1745

Multiple times we warned about the danger of "black boxes" and it's not incidental that "OpenVPN over Tor", for example, has been implemented in our mainstream software since 2011 or 2012 and it is advertised in the home page while Tor is also listed in the "Download" > "Other technologies" section.

Kind regards
 

Hello!

In Singapore complaints against the servers are sometimes treated blindly without giving us enough time to reply and therefore IP addresses are null routed. When this happens the unblocking procedure may take time. Additional problems have included IPv6 network and line problems. Such problems may occur now and then even in any good datacenter. If the servers keep failing the expectations, as your complaints suggest, we will dismiss them and search for an alternative. It's not so easy in Singapore for the high volume traffic we require, so the matter is not trivial. Anyway, we already operate both on Leaseweb and M247 datacenters in Singapore, so we already offer redundancy.

Hello!

For the purpose of domain name resolutions, VPN server scores are computed on the following variables: average ping (between VPN servers themselves); average load; average users; known issues; ISP reliability. In the case of Xuange, currently it does not achieve the "best" score in Europe or in Switzerland because the amount of connected users is sufficiently high to outweigh the amount of free bandwidth.

Kind regards
 

Hello!
 
The main reason of complaints and black list presence of IP addresses are attacks via HTTP(S) and spam mails. A server with blocked outbound ports 80 and 443 blocked would be avoided by anyone, we think, while we might consider to block outbound ports 465 and 587 (outbound port 25 is already blocked on all servers) and renounce to our fight to defend net neutrality. This will require however a mission as well as Terms of Service modification, as noted by @OpenSourcerer , so it's not a viable solution for the current management administration and the contracts with our current users.
 
Out there you can already find tons of VPNs which violate net neutrality by inspecting your traffic and blocking (or shaping) applications, protocols and ports. Or you can just use your own ISP. The peculiarity of AirVPN is that it doesn't enforce that rubbish.. If one asks for traffic inspection, ports blocking and so on and so forth to get a "cleaner" IP address, then he/she probably "deserves" a pervasive surveillance and must take into account that his/her personal information and his/her behavior will be sooner or later used against him/her, as it already happened to millions and millions of people around the world in the last years.
 
Kind regards

Reaaly?  Yeah no.  Mullvad currently has all western US IPs blacklisted in on form or another.  A lot of sites have been recently refusing them, like reddit.

Hello!

It's indeed a dubious solution which we can bet wouldn't work. The other class of servers should monitor and log the traffic to promptly ban users (and report them to police, if strictly necessary under specific circumstances) at each complaint, and keep IP addresses "clean" . This is exactly what your ISP already does, so in this case why should anyone rely on a VPN instead of his/her own ISP or some other VPN service which already logs and monitors traffic? Furthermore, there are indeed black lists aimed at exclusively blocking VPN, Tor and anonymous proxy addresses. Logging and monitoring would not resolve the problem you report at all in all those cases (and they are many) for which a service wants to block VPN and Tor unconditionally, no matter how "clean" an IP address is.
 
Why? With a clear a mission and terms of service we think that the whole service is more transparent and honest, so that anyone can make an informed decision. A real problem would be the opposite, i.e. stating a mission and a contractual agreement and then surreptitiously or not break them.

Kind regards
 

Hello,

we're glad to inform you that we will be launching a 3 Gbit/s full duplex guaranteed (on a 10 Gbit/s port, burstable) server in North Carolina around mid-January, please stay tuned. Additional expansions in Florida and Georgia will be under discussion later on, as usual according to bandwidth demand. Meanwhile, expansion on the other side of the USA (California) is ongoing: after the recent 10 Gbit/s addition in Los Angeles, two more 3 Gbit/s servers (burstable to 10 Gbit/s) are expected in San Jose for mid-January. They will replace the current three 1 Gbit/s servers in California marked with "Imminent withdrawal".

Kind regards
 

Hello!
Thank you very much.

Sabik, Merope and Alkes IP addresses are already located in Los Angeles, in the IANA / ARIN databases, so any geo-location database which reports otherwise is poorly maintained. However, we have decided (breaking news 🙂 ) that those servers will be withdrawn in early 2024 and replaced by more powerful hardware in the LA area (please follow the "News" forum in the next weeks).

Kind regards
