  1. Let's be clear. French web isn't closed, we can consult foreign websites unlike in North Corea, Russia or China. Name me any propagandized country who allows his people to consult other medias. Telling we wouldn't see anything is insulting our intelligence. Why don't we talk about US government who wants to ban TikTok, like Huawei and many others ? The difference between Rumble in France and Tiktok in US is pretty simple. Tiktok didn't boke US laws so the government had to find excuses related to "national security". Rumble hosts prohibit contents according french and european laws. France asked to Rumble to remove these contents (accounts belonging to russian medias doing disinformation (these medias are not only banned in France but also in whole Europe), to far right ppl, etc...). In France you're not allowed to publish anti-semitic speech in front of a nazi flag and that's normal. Sorry to tell you but it's the only truth, there's no conspiracy theory in this affair.
  2. Correlation != Causation. What if the service was set up by a desperate party because Russia banned VPN usage? Don't you think it makes sense? If you are a Russian in Russia and you cannot pay for the VPN services around the world because of sanctions (those services would give you a less restricted internet, after all), wouldn't you try to find a service which accepts whatever payment processors are available to you? Exactly – learn Russian or ask someone like me to translate for you. Don't go through the world, fingers pointing in crude directions, and voicing mere suspicions. No, it doesn't. Yandex is what Google is to US, or Tencent to China – a provider of various internet services tailored to a specific ethnic group's market. Yandex has got its own networks, which includes targeted advertising and analytics. Why shouldn't Yandex be allowed to offer their services to Russian diasporas across the world? Betteridge's law of headlines states that "any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no".
  3. I'm curious to know if @Lao8 could fix their issue. I'm looking to use it in China.
  4. There are increasing reports about AirVPN not working with cellular networks in Russia. I've been contacted more frequently by other Russians about this recently but so far there are no definitive solutions. Try the following configuration that works in China:-- Люди рассказывают всё больше и больше о проблемах с соединением к AirVPN через российские мобильные сети. Мне в последнее время многие россиане лично пишут, но пока решении нету. Попробуйте верхнюю конфигурацию, работающюю в Китае.
  5. Hello! We're sorry, they are not available. Alipay and Unionpay were available for a very short time through 2checkout which we do not use anymore at the moment. Anyway, for some reason probably related to written or unwritten rules by China authorities on payment processors and never explained clearly to us, Chinese payment processors refuse to process payments to us and, we infer, to any VPN service not approved by the government. You can find a complete list of accepted payment methods in the "buy" page: https://airvpn.org/buy Kind regards
  6. There are a couple of China-related threads already - did you search for them? You did not mention how you connect (protocol? port? ...). One config you may try has been posted here:
  7. I just simply chose recommended server. It keeps connecting different servers but never succeeded. Is AirVPN working well in China now? Thanks folks
  8. Hello! We're not aware of any security concern as they are layers "on top" of well tested tunnels without known vulnerabilities. Currently Russia and China users can access AirVPN, however should the need arise we strongly recommend Tor with private bridges with various pluggable transports. We have invested a lot on Tor infrastructure (see our mission), including support for an important amount of worldwide Tor exit nodes traffic, and Tor is free for everybody. No matter the obfuscation technique employed, a country or ISP can block any VPN service (and other services operated by small or average sized companies) by harvesting and blocking its servers IP addresses, a task which, on the contrary, becomes quite difficult with Tor, where volunteers all around the world set up private Tor bridges every day. https://bridges.torproject.org/ Kind regards
  9. I read on the internet and learned that ssl and ssh can be blocked. I also saw an article on China and Russia Reddit. In the reddit thread in Russia, we use v2ray and they say there is no blocking. I personally learned from YouTube that Twitter and Instagram use sockshadow in China. Airvpn users can easily use them if they travel to Russia and China. I have a question for airvpn admins and moderators. I wanted to know why V2ray and sockshadow were not considered. Is there a security weakness?
  10. That is true. I have friends in China successfully using VPN's and Tor with pluggable transports / obfuscation mechanisms. That is not possible for the entire population but it can make it harder for the less advanced users as some solutions might not work any more out of the box, just click click connect, which will confuse the average user, but I agree it's probably technically impossible to block it for 100% of the population.
  11. its just not something which is possible, if china can't do it then its pretty clear russia won't stand a chance
  12. Thanks for the link. It is one of the extensions of the currently proposed law that wants to extend it to also ban VPNs. Even with that extension retracted, the original law still wants ISPs, DNS providers and browsers to block whatever the French government and authorities ask them to. The first amendment is off the table but the second one isn't and the entire law is not either. This is exactly how officially registered public VPNs in Russia ought to work currently. I have said in previous threads that it should be a red flag how the press/institutions do not highlight the fact that either China's Great Firewall or Russia's internet laws are all about blocking and governmental censorship. That's because similar laws are desired in other countries too, nobody wants to rally up the citizens against them. In my opinion only the US remains a tough nut to crack for such a law. We shall see what happens to Tiktok and that bill, maybe it will really fall into Microsoft's lap (and confirm Microsoft's allegiance to the government's power structures and cooperation).
  13. Hello! It's a crack for some program unrelated to AirVPN or a malware. Our software does not need any crack, it is free and open source software which does not need the activation key they claim they give you. There's another "Air VPN" (with a space) in China using fraudulently this name but it was shut down recently. We will hide your link just in case it's malware. About NordVPN, yes, they have been cracked a couple of times and thousands of account were compromised in the past. By the way still unrelated to AirVPN. Kind regards
  14. Hello! It might be relevant to know (just in case) that currently connections from Russia, China, Egypt, UAE may work only with OpenVPN in TCP, to port 53 or 443, in tls-crypt (entry-IP address THREE). OpenVPN over SSH is working too. Connections from Iran do not work, no matter the connection mode you try. To Iranian citizens we recommend Tor obfuscated and private bridges. You will need to update your bridge frequently. Kind regards
  15. I do not think the last part is particularly true. You will have a better chance bitTorrenting in areas that have more lax rules (think Netherlands, Sweden, Romania, Iceland etc.) and the Provider is less likely to get a court order inquiry for information. If, at the least, a Provider cannot directly tie you to the piracy, they might be able to tie payment method depending if that was anonymous (read AirVPN privacy policy carefully: they specifically state to use more anonymous payment gateways [BitCoin] but they don't explicitly state why). I think you are confusing who the Provider is and what data they own. The servers provider(s) are the datacenter owners (like Leaseweb). The service provider is AirVPN, based in Italy. AirVPN doesn't own the servers, it rents them from the servers providers. The servers providers, depending on the country in which it is located may receive a court rule (which, for movie piracy, is extremely unlikely). Not only they can't tie you to the piracy because of the no log policy, they also don't have any of your payment informations you only gave to AirVPN. Legally, the servers providers only know AirVPN for which they have a commercial contract. Concerning the privacy policy: Using anonymous payment gateways is very useful in countries where using VPNs are forbidden (Russia, China and many others). It will be way trickier for them to prove that you bought those illegal services.
  16. I am using it in China. The connectino is a bit slow, but stable. There's no proble checking emails. I even watch YouTube and Netflix using airVPN regularly. Laptop: M1 Macbook Air, with the Eddie client. Mobile: IOS, OpenVPN software with configuration file generated from the airvpn website
  17. I went through the same thing a few months ago when 2.5G wifi died on my Linksys WRTblah. The standard advice in the dd-wrt forum is to look at a used Netgear R7800, no longer available new, or its successor the XR500, which is effectively a repackaged R7800 with more memory. Or for higher performance, consider the Netgear R9000 or XR700. See that forum for a couple of others. The topic comes up frequently. I went with a used XR500 and stumbled into the fact that there are versions made in China and in Thailand. I found I needed the Thai version for the whole installation to work correctly. Flashing instructions for the R7800/XR500 are posted in the dd-wrt WiSoC Atheros forum. If you look at other routers for dd-wrt, look for a Qualcomm/Atheros wifi chipset. Because Broadcom keeps source to itself for its drivers, their chipsets are close to deprecated in the dd-wrt world now. I heartily disagree that dd-wrt is stagnant the last couple of years. Just the opposite is true. It's very actively developing, especially the last few years, with recent noteworthy improvements, for example, in its OpenVPN and wireguard systems, in VLAN configurability, and to security in general. FWIW, since this is a VPN crowd, I run both OpenVPN and wireguard tunnels to AirVPN servers on each of the several dd-wrt routers I maintain for my extended family. On some I run multiple wireguard tunnels. Virtual access points provide extra SSIDs, and policy-based routing controls which route through which VPN tunnel or simply bypass them all. The Air stuff all works like a charm, with Air wireguard especially easy to set up. This is all routine in the dd-wrt world.
  18. Hello, I thought about starting this - at least for me - interesting topic about insecure or unsafe countries to run a VPN server from. I already figured out that most VPN providers aren't trustworthy at all and if you dig further into it, you will end up with AirVPN, IVPN and Mullvad. Maybe even Proton or Windscribe. Tracking free, open source providers without an affiliate program. One thing you will quickly notice: The first three only offer servers in a very little amount of countries, which obviously has a security purpose. Now my question is: Is there a list of unsafe countries to run a VPN server from? Or do you know certain countries it is simply not possible to safely run a VPN server from? And could you clarify why? This question is by the way for everyone. That is why I'm posting it here. I do know Proton is using virtual servers to mock the actual server location. But they indeed have servers in Russia for example. There is another provider who often is praised as "fan favorite" in "the scene" named Perfect Privacy. They also have a very small share of servers, but they indeed do have a sever in China. I also heard bad things about Australia. So, I naturally wonder why there are some countries where you hardly will find a VPN provider running servers from that are actually located there. I can understand you won't find a good data center in most African countries and I also can imagine that Russian or Chinese authorities would be very interested in your servers once they are placed there. So I do wonder if running a sever from there comes with some "conditions". I also wonder why - for example - Lithuania seems so unpopular to run a sever from? After all, the other Baltic countries Estonia and Latvia are very well represented with most providers. Maybe someone can provide some more details about this topic. Edit: I might have posted this in the wrong sub-board. Maybe someone can move it to the right place.
  19. On August 7 Russian authorities introduced DPI ban over both OpenVPN and FireWire protocols. Unlike China defaults like OpenVPN-TCP-443 won't work. Changing servers is useles too. So this is topic might be better moved to the general troubleshooting topic.
  20. Also please note that this list isn't comprehensive given that the address ranges for regions such as China wasn't specified. My reasoning for this is players would need to be aware of PerfectWorld and China's mass adoption of IPv6, and solutions for those affected users requires a different approach given the Steam client and services networking when handling traffic destined for those regions.
  21. Use Wireguard as a protocol; can only offer you instruction via my own Windows Desktop usage - in Eddie, click upper left hand corner "cloud" icon, click preferences, click protocol, choose "Wireguard". Specific to Mac, or iOS, or Android, or user-generated certs for other clients ie directly on router hardware, uncertain of guidance, but since I stopped using OpenVPN, speeds to my nearest "preferred country" are pretty much constant 100%, especially important for my a heavy torrent leecher. There's lots of different VPN protocols. New ones are constantly being developed, and AirVPN's Eddie as I've described above, present the user with lots of different "tunneling methods" dependant on what sort of network restrictions you're in, ie University Network, China etc. It was known for a longtime that OpenVPN is very CPU intensive, but since newer competing protocols/"tunneling methods" have been developed almost exclusively with the aim of being "lightweight" - ie, requiring little calculation, but maintaining speed and strength - now OpenVPN itself is trying to compete by implementing "DCO" - the lead(?) on this is even active in these very forums. The only other stipulation I'd make, apart from waiting for OpenVPN DCO, is to connect to whatever country nearest you: whilst I can trust Singapore, Japan, New Zealand, I can't expect to max out my 250/250mBit/s to any server there, that's just fact.
  22. Hi team, Thank you for the great service! I've been using AirVPN and it has been very stable. I used a Asus router and use OpenVPN there. It works fine for a couple of month. However, today it started not connecting. I've tried multiple config and all of them don't work. Would you please help me take a look on what's happening? Thank you so much! Best wishes syslog.txt
  23. I have a business trip to China in 2 months, and I wanted to check with folks here to ask if anyone ever used Airvpn in China. I know that a lot of VPNs don't work there. I would be glad if someone who has been there recently can tell me if it works, or whether I need to configure some advanced settings to use it in China. Thanks
  24. Is there any setting that would force Eddie to reconnect. I live in China and it seems connection works for some time. Then it I get OpenVPN3 KEEPALIVE_TIMEOUT and have to manually reconnect.
  25. In retrospect, I'd like you to present a proper explanation on why you think I'm unhealthy and toxic. From my perspective, I haven't spammed the forum. I haven't really posted many posts. In fact, I'm trying not to post unless I need to post. I haven't intentionally lied. I could be wrong, but that's not lying. I haven't coerced anyone. I haven't forced anyone to pay attention to my posts by using quotes and user handles multiple times. If people tell me to stop bothering them to pay attention to my comments, I wouldn't bother them. I didn't intentionally hurt anyone or anyone's feelings. It's only natural for humans to cast doubts on the usual suspects. The doubts could be wrong, but feasible. Scientific process requires proposing guesses and being wrong multiple times. I haven't said I was right when I casted doubts. And, I haven't intentionally hurt anyone or anyone's feelings by violating their personal space with unwanted attention. I'm not trying to force them to pay attention to my posts. I'm just passing by and leaving a few comments occasionally on this forum. I may be a bit active on this forum now, but don't take my participation in the forum for granted. I could stop being active soon. That being said, I haven't really tried to prove my doubts because proving my doubts was not my intention. If someone knows extensive agreements between governments on internet spying and various dystopian nightmares that actually happen in different regions, it is only natural to suspect authorities for anything that they have motivation to pursue. What I don't know is whether they targeted DANE specifically, but if they didn't target DANE specifically and DANE was not implemented in web browsers due to lack of interest, authorities are certainly targeting other things. We all know that authorities are trying various ways to censor DNS and the internet. In some regions, facebook and twitter and wikipedia are blocked. In china, most websites are blocked. Deep packet inspection is now mundane reality. So, don't take my doubts on secret DANE lobbying literally. See it as a metaphor for attempts by authorities to censor the internet in various ways that they can pursue. I was merely trying to guess what they were going to do next. VPN attracts certain kinds of people. I'm one of the kinds. On VPN forums, you will certainly see people who know a lot of negative things and cast negative doubts. Paying attention to negative things is not bad if you train yourself to calmly respond to the negative. If you don't believe me, go to subreddits. Subreddits about VPN and privacy have people who talk a lot of negative things.
