Is there a SystemD Service or something similar available that I can use to get the VPN service to start on boot? I'm running Arch Linux

After trying every free VPN on PC and Android that never matched my expectations with not enough data available or too slow, i wanted to try some paid VPN to see if it was better but most of them only give minimum a month with money back guarantee plans which looks like forced selling, so i dug and read every review and i found that AirVPN proposed a cheap 3 days trial so i could try it fully to see what it is like and it was excellent, even better than my connection without VPN, i could do streaming, torrenting, on my ArchLinux PC, my wife's Ubuntu based Linux PC, on my smartphone, it is very easy to use, a very good service for a very good price, so i took 3 months the first day of my 3 days trial and i will surely continue as long as the quality of the service is the same. Good job, this is what i was looking for in a VPN, i am a very satisfied customer.

To connect I usually just download an .ovpn file and type in terminal "sudo openvpn <.ovpn file>" and the connection works. Or I go to gnome connection manager and "import saved configuration", import the .ovpn file and use that to connect graphically. However, I have noticed other vpn providers - they only provide these .ovpn files for Android. For ubuntu linux set ups they recommend manually importing the certificates and changing the settings in the advanced settings manually. Is there a difference in these methods? is one method more secure ? is it okay to just import a whole saved configuration from an .ovpn file for ubuntu linux, rather than manually entering the certificate etc ?

Hi all, I have an odd problem, everything on my eddie-UI is tiny (see attached). I'm running arch-manjaro-xfce-18.0.2 I have tried increasing the font in eddies settings; it increased, but not in any significant way. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks, Hubert.

Here is the stack trace log to this problem: http://dpaste.com/1J8JFNS Kernel: 4.15.0-43-generic x86_64 (64 bit gcc: 5.4.0) Desktop: MATE 1.18.0 (Gtk 3.18.9-1ubuntu3.3) info: mate-panel dm: lightdm Distro: Linux Mint 18.3 Sylvia I do not know exactly when this problem started, but it is easily reproduced by exiting the client, that's all. Eddie has always been a little moody on my my machine. For example, if I disconnected from my modem or just turned off my ethernet connection in Network Manager or elsewhere before eddie was finished quitting, Eddie would freeze during exit and I would check in top see that xorg or mono would be at 100% cpu. Only way to get past it would be to ctrl-alt-bkspace or reboot from the terminal. A little worried by what is actually happening when my system freezes in this way. The log mentions something about raise.c not being found. Should I go back to 2.16? Please advise. I will post a trouble ticket if necessary but I figured someone else out there might be having this happening too.

Hello, I am running the portable command line version on a ubuntu server. How can I see the logs? Can I specify the save location? greetings

When I run the eddie client on my laptop with ubuntu 16.04, and network lock activated and allow LAN/private ticked in preferences (see attached), some services will connect, e.g. emby and others will not, e.g. KDEconnect. When eddie is not running I can connect. I saw that on this thread https://airvpn.org/topic/29634-wonky-lan-access/ someone was maybe having a similar with MAC and wondered if there was a workaround for ubuntu/linux? I am not very technical and only understand about 5% of what I'm reading on these forums so need it simple, apologies if asking for the impossible!!

Hello, I just ordered a subscription but was unable to connect to any server using the eddie-ui software (that i installed from the deb repo) under linux Mint Tara . I've found some related topic (about some trouble under mint) but since my OpenVPN package is already under 2.4.4 it seem's not relevant. So i'm not able to connect to any server and it's looping in connect, disconnect cycle.

Platform: Ubuntu 16.04 Eddie version 2.16.3 (same behaviour on 2.16.1) Recently my VPN connection has started breaking down at irregular intervals (sometimes within 24 hours of a successful reconnect, sometimes after a few days). I only see a simple error pop-up displayed, telling me that there is "no server available". There are still servers listed in the overview, but I'm not able to automatically or manually reconnect until I force quit Eddie altogether and restart. After that, it works normally again - until the next drop. The behavior started about a 1-2 months ago, when I was still using Eddie 2.16.1, but has continued after a recent upgrade to 2.16.3. Log file attached; saved after the most recent occurrence. Eddie_20181115_092221.txt

Ed. actually see my latest reply to this topic for some python code to modify all all your ovpn files at once ---------- Hi all - inspired by some other threads I've been involved in here is part 1 of my Ubuntu setup - please don't hesitate to correct or comment: The OS ====== I use Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS. I don't use 18.04 LTS as I have found it difficult get it set up just right. In particular I find preventing DNS leakage almost impossible. Software & Updates ================== Change the update server to the main server because you'll want to use apt while connected to your VPN and you don't want it connecting back to your country of origin's mirror GRUB ==== I modify /etc/default/grub thus: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="ipv6.disable=1 quiet splash" i.e. I disable ipv6 in GRUB as it's been my experience I cannot stop leaks and other unwanted peer communication whilever ipv6 is enabled. (don't forget to run update-grub after) UFW === This is my minimal ufw init script: ufw reset ufw enable ufw default deny incoming ufw allow in 67/udp # for DHCP ufw allow in 53/udp # DNS ufw deny out 22,23/tcp # deny telnet and ssh ufw reload ufw status verbose FIREFOX -P ========== In Terminal run firefox -P, create a new profile "maxprivacy" and deselect the option for the default profile. Find the section on WebRTC and further securing firefox at https://privacytools.io (i.e. go through all the instructions to modify the settings such as geo.enabled and webgl.disabled etc.) OPENVPN 2.4 =========== Ubuntu 16.04.5 doesn't come with OpenVPN 2.4 so you have to install it using the instructions here: https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/OpenvpnSoftwareRepos AIRVPN CONFIG GENERATOR (https://airvpn.org/generator/) ======================================================= Check "Advanced Mode" Click Linux Check "Separate keys/certs from .ovpn file" Check "Resolved hosts in .ovpn file" <-- VERY IMPORTANT - STOPS YOUR ISP KNOWING YOU'RE CONNECTING TO AN AIRVPN SERVER Scroll down to where the "Entry IP" 3 and 4 are (i.e. we only want to use the servers with TLS encryption enabled) Select protocols UDP 443, 2018, 41185 for Entry 3 and Entry 4 Scroll down to where the individual servers are listed and click "Invert Selection" - now all the individual servers will be downloaded with resolved hostnames Scroll to bottom of page and select both checkboxes then click Generate On the generated settings page scroll all the way down till you see the ZIP file and download it. In Terminal: ------------ mkdir ~/mytemp && mkdir ~/mytemp/ovpntemp cd ~/mytemp/ovpntemp unzip ~/Downloads/AirVPN.zip rm ~/Downloads/AirVPN.zip chmod 600 *key # this makes sure only your user account can access your key files mkdir ~/.airvpn mv *key ~/.airvpn mv *crt ~/.airvpn # moving keys and certs to upper level directory - you only need one copy mkdir ~/.airvpn/UDP-443-TLS-PRI && mkdir ~/.airvpn/UDP-443-TLS-ALT mv Air*443*Entry3* ~/.airvpn/UDP-443-TLS-PRI mv Air*443*Entry4* ~/.airvpn/UDP-443-TLS-ALT repeat for ports 2018 and 41185 (i.e. make directories UDP-2018-TLS-PRI etc. and move the ovpn files) MODIFY OVPN FILES ================= This part is a little laborious unless you're handy with python or something to write a script to modify all your ovpn files. Basically before you connect to a particular server change the following lines in the ovpn file: ca "../ca.crt" # remember our key and crt files are one level above cert "../user.crt" key "../user.key" remote-cert-tls server cipher AES-256-CBC comp-lzo no proto udp tls-crypt "../tls-crypt.key" auth sha512 # the following part locks down the DNS when connected script-security 2 up /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf down /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf CONNECT TO VPN SERVER IN TERMINAL ================================= sudo openvpn <the ovpn file you just modified - be in the same directory as it> In the output you should see something like this: ... Mon Nov 12 18:53:38 2018 /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf tun0 1500 1553 x1.x2.x3.x4 255.255.255.0 init dhcp-option DNS y1.y2.y3.y4 Mon Nov 12 18:53:44 2018 /sbin/ip route add z1.z2.z3.z4/32 via m1.m2.m3.m4 Mon Nov 12 18:53:44 2018 /sbin/ip route add 0.0.0.0/1 via y1.y2.y3.y4 Mon Nov 12 18:53:44 2018 /sbin/ip route add 128.0.0.0/1 via y1.y2.y3.y4 Mon Nov 12 18:53:44 2018 Initialization Sequence Completed ... but CHECK THE DNS resolver using dig: dig www.ubuntu.com ... ;; Query time: 422 msec ;; SERVER: y1.y2.y3.y4#53(y1.y2.y3.y4) <-- if you see 127.0.0.1 here something is wrong! ;; WHEN: Mon Nov 12 20:02:37 AEDT 2018 ;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 59 CHECK YOU HAVE NO DNS LEAKAGE and WebRTC is DISABLED ==================================================== Run firefox and select the maxprivacy profile https://ipleak.net/ https://dnsleaktest.com/ (run exteneded tests) Also in a separate terminal window you can run: sudo tcpdump -v -n 'port 53' -i tun0 which will show you all DNS resolution - you should only see server y1.y2.y3.y4 being used ----------- This is a work in progress - I'm yet to add sections for setting up rtorrent and running Tor browser ----------- DISCLAIMER: I have no formal training in Linux everything i know I've learnt from books or online.

heyhey, i'm having trouble setting up a ipv6 vpn connection with the (manjaro/arch) linux "network-manager". when i want to set up a ipv4 connection, i go to the "client area" on airvpn.org, start the "config generator", check "advanced" an then set: OS: LinuxOpenVPN version >= 2.4Need IPv6?: "IPv4 only"Protocol: UDP | Port: 443 | Entry IP: 1In the advanced section i check "Separate keys/certs from .ovpn file" and "Resolved hosts in .ovpn file"Server: xxxi then generate the config and download all the files into a new/empty folder. afterwards i start the network-manager connection editors gui ($ nm-connection-editor), click the "+" button, select "import a saved vpn configuration", click "create", navigate to the folder with the config and key files, select the "xxx.ovpn" file and then just click "save", since the nm-connection-editor automatically sets up the right key files etc. in this case everything works as expected. HOWEVER if i try to do the same with a IPv6 config file ("Need IPv6?" set to "IPv4 & IPv6 (connect with IPv6)" - all other settings the same) i get an error when trying to "import a saved vpn configuration" with the nm-connection-editor. when i open the "xxx.ovpn" file with a text editor and change the line "proto udp6" (this is the line before "tls-auth 'ta.key' 1") to "proto udp", i can import without the error message however the connection is not working afterwards. do you have any ideas what i could do different? should i set up the connection manually? thanks in advance!

Hi, After the latest update of Eddie I can not longer minimize the application. The UI diaapears and leaves a black empty window where the UI used to be. I do have a tray icon so I am able to get the UI back, but if I want to have Eddie running minimized I'm not longer able to since I always have this black empty window on my desktop.

I'm getting this https://i.imgur.com/QsHdko8.png when I click hide main window it stays on the desktop which is annoying can't make it disappear when I press show interface the normal interface shows up just fine Ubuntu 18.04 updated

Is the password you use for the client the same as the password you use to login to airvpn.org? In the commandline I am passing the password as an argument but it is saying it's wrong.

I can't remember my settings since they are saved in the Windows client and I've never changed them.

Having trouble installing on a Chromebook with Rockchip OP1 processor (arm64) through the linux terminal. Have tried adding ppa to sources.list but runs: N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-arm64/Packages' as repository 'http://eddie.website/repository/apt stable InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'arm64' as well as the 32 64 and rasp downloads. Is this a no go? Alternative would be to get the OpenVPN android app from play store, but wanted to run through the linux vm enabled by Crostini and circumvent google spying. May well be a fruitless task anyway, advise welcome. Would like to provide more info but not sure what else is relevant, sorry for the trouble. Appreciate any help.

hello, i am using linux version of airvpn (ubuntu, x64) and it doesnt work in china. i was trying to fix it myself checking the forum. someone recommended to use IP addresses 3 and 4 tls-crypt which is not avalible in my version. how can we the problem be solved?

greetings, I'm currently testing out AirVPN before buying a longer subscription. However I currently have some trouble with WebRTC leaks of my IPv6 address. My setup is the following: Arch Linux 64 BitEddie 2.15.2Network Lock enabledChrome/FirefoxUBlock origin option to prevent WebRTC leaks enabled.ISP Unitymedia DSLite (IPv6) When I connect to a suggested server (with network lock enabled) and check IPLeak.net, it looks like this: The address seen under WebRTC IPv6 is the same when not connected, so something is definitely leaking. I tried with both Firefox and Chrome. Is there a way to solve this issue? Can WebRTC leaks be an issue when using torrents? Regards

Hello, I've trying to connect to AirVPN on my Raspberry Pi running Raspbian Stretch (which is pretty much Debian Stretch). I've generated a .ovpn file here and have simply typed the command: sudo openvpn --config AirVPN_Sweden.ovpn However, when I do this, it sits there for ages on the following. I don't know if this means it's done or not (XXX to remove an address I think is sensitive): Sun Jun 24 10:47:43 2018 /sbin/ip addr add dev tun1 10.10.136.46/24 broadcast 10.10.136.255 Sun Jun 24 10:47:49 2018 /sbin/ip route add XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/32 via 192.168.0.1 Sun Jun 24 10:47:49 2018 /sbin/ip route add 0.0.0.0/1 via 10.10.136.1 Sun Jun 24 10:47:49 2018 /sbin/ip route add 128.0.0.0/1 via 10.10.136.1 Sun Jun 24 10:47:49 2018 Initialization Sequence Completed If Ctrl+Z then bg to get control of my shell back, I then can't ping anything external at all using either a URL or an IP address.

I am having difficulties installing the eddie-ui_2.13.6_linux_x64_debian.deb file on my Kubuntu 18.04 install as it gives the error message "Cannot satisfy dependencies". I've searched the forums but there's been no solution to this problem. A screenshot of the installer showing the error message has been attached to the post. How can I fix this? https://i.imgur.com/EbsKYlM.png

Hello, dear developers! Any news on making Linux native version of Eddie? Thank you!

Hi everyone ! As far as I can see in the man page for the AirVPN client (Eddie) there is no way to obtain a list of available servers in command line mode ( --cli ). Any chance to have such a feature added in a near future upgrade of the client ? A curses based version (or wrapper) would be nice. It would make it easier to overview status, speed, current server and IP et cetera. In CLI mode there are issues with special characters in username and / or password. A way around, until the issue has been fixed, is to put the --login and --password flags at the end of the line. Make sure to put the username and / or password with special characters in single quotes. But, again, it would help a lot if one could obtain the list of servers in cli mode. Cheers !

Trying to install it using the .deb package gives dependencies error. Using the portable version asks for "gksu" package. But afaik gksu has been removed from Ubuntu 18.04. Anyone who has got it to run?

Hello, I've seen a few forum posts on this topic, but nothing that provides consistent direction. Setting up an Ubuntu server that's command line only (no GUI.) There seem to be a few options here to: 1. Connect the VPN on boot. 2. Lock traffic if the VPN drops. You could use Eddie via CLI and set it up to run on boot. You could call a generated openvpn config directly on boot and add appropriate iptables rules. Is one method preferred over the other from a security perspective? Does anyone have a good list of iptables rules I could combine with auto-launching openvpn if Eddie is not used? I could copy the rules applied by Eddie, but those are dynamically updated based on the AirVPN server list it seems (to allow those connections). Thanks! Jeff

Hi, I have written an alternative client for AirVPN that I would like to share with you. Just as Eddie, it supports other providers, too, as long as OpenVPN config files are provided. For AirVPN and Mullvad it offers a convenient update function that just requires you to enter your credentials in order to download the latest server configurations. Furthermore, it allows you to choose among the plethora of protocols offered by AirVPN (including OpenVPN over SSL/SSH) except the experimental ones (I might add support for those in the future, once they become available for all servers). Qomui (Qt OpenVPN management UI) as I have named it, is written in Python and PyQt and should run on any GNU/Linux distribution. It allows you to easily create double-hop connections. In other words, you can route your requests via two OpenVPN servers. This feature works provider-independent. For example, you could choose a Mullvad server for the first hop, and AirVPN for the second (I have successfully tested this with AirVPN, Mullvad and ProtonVPN). Thereby, it avoids a major downside of similar offers by some providers, namely the fact that if one provider controls all "hops" he or she could potentially still see, log or inspect all your traffic. In the latter case, you would gain little in terms of privacy. With the ability to "mix" providers, Qomui does not suffer from the same problem and hence offers some tangible benefits. Obviously, you would still have to sacrifice some speed/bandwith, though. Depending on your DE (looking at you, Gnome!), Qomui will also display a systray icon that shows the country of the server you are currently connected to. Additional features include protection against DNS leaks and a firewall that optionally blocks all outgoing network connections except for the OpenVPN server you have chosen. Since it is never recommended to run graphical applications as root, which is a major flaw of most OpenVPN clients, all commands that require root privileges are handled by a background service that can be controlled via systemd. The following screenshot gives you an idea of what Qomui looks like (on Arch/Arc Dark Theme). If you are interested, you can download Qomui from github: https://github.com/corrad1nho/qomui Of course, I'd be happy for any kind of feedback. If you find bugs or Qomui does not run properly or not at all on your machine, please let me know. I'm happy to help! At last, a big thank you to AirVPN and its amazing community. The fact that you rely more on explaining technical details than empty promises, has helped me to learn a lot. It is also one of the main reason why I chose AirVPN. Commendably, Eddie is also released as open-source software. Only Mullvad does that, too, to my knowledge. Why doesn't every provider do that? You are selling a service, not software! Why would I trust in proprietary software? Funnily, I have never really used Eddie, though, since I was accustomed to manually adding config files to NetworkManager as my first provider did not offer a GNU/Linux client. My interest in features such as OpenVPN over SSL made me look into more convenient solutions, though. Ultimately I decided to write my own program as I wanted to learn some Python and this provided a perfect practical challenge. I have actually used Qomui daily on multiple machines during the past few months and constantly tried to improve it. So I'd thought it'd be about to time to share it (it's an alpha release, though). Have a nice weekend! Corrado
