BLACK KITTEN

How do points 1, 2, 3 and 5 lead to such a conclusion? Just because it's Russian doesn't mean it's bad. Not everything from Russia is somehow connected to Russian politics; please take care to keep these matters separate.
Only point 4 is a bit strange, but it'd be strange if it were an EU or US service, too.

Let's not use the word "honeypot" here prematurely before any real analysis. Otherwise it's just FUD.

Hello!

We're very glad to inform you that a new 10 Gbit/s full duplex server located in Frankfurt, Germany, is available: Ashlesha.

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

Ashlesha supports OpenVPN over SSL and OpenVPN over SSH, TLS 1.3, OpenVPN 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 status as usual in our real time servers monitor .
 
Do not hesitate to contact us for any information or issue.

Kind regards & datalove

My personal thread summary:

.

Exactly my point. Tracking and fingerprinting is so advanced today that VPN is almost becoming useless when not combined with other means of protection.

They know who you are because your browser doxxed you = they don't care about your IP anymore, so they allow you to open the website

They don't know who you are because your browser is actually private, and they can't use IP to track you = no internet for you

Fight me.

Actually, now that I think about it, I wanted to write something titled 10 years of AirVPN – A humble review a year ago going into all the experiences I've had with AirVPN in all those years but, wow, talk about a colossal task. It's a massive undertaking at this point and I am not sure whether it'll ever see the light of day.

Trick or Treat, indeed…

Thank you so much for your touching words and stellar feedback. And for your commitment in so many years.

However, were you really under the illusion that you could escape so easily?

Kind regards
 

What, did someone secretly add a year of premium or something?

it wasn't me but that's really nice of somebody!

Whoever just helped me, I am literally crying. That was so nice. Jeez.

Take care John, I hope you are back on your feet soon.

To the great staff and founders and the helpful (non-toxic) community,

Recent unanticipated life things are forcing me to cut all but the most essential things from my "budget," which is not much. I've been using the veep for nearly 8 years, that's a long time to stick with a single service in internet time. I have recommended airvpn countless times and continue to do so, often in the same breath as "...but there's also ProtonVPN and Mullvad, and Duckduckgo which I have yet to try." In other words, airvpn is always at the top of recommendations.

I still believe in the essential mission and need of services like AirVPN. When you find how difficult it is to actually research corporate VPNs like Nord, which do not have the best track record, it can be difficult because their parent companies own some of the top review outlets (PC Magazine, tomshardware) or  influence them with ad revenue. Even the "anti-scammer" youtube celebrities take sponsorship deals from sketchy or at least unverifiable VPN companies, because Nord and Express and Ghost etc.  aren't open source, so we have to rely on a fly-by-night "auditing authorities," which don't answer to regulations or transparent oversight either. It's a battle not many people feel is worth paying attention to, but I have tried.

You will find my trails of AirVPN recommendations across forums over the past 7 years, and I hope they helped.

Maybe I'll be back in a month. Maybe a year. I don't know with my life right now.

Goodbye!
