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

Hey all! I ran into an issue the other day when setting up AirVPN where I found alot of the AirVPN IP's appear to be blocked by my ISP. In my quest to resolve this issue, I ended up creating a script that uses fping and dig to get all the IPs for a region, check that they work, and add those to your AirVPN configuration. I figured this script might be helpful to some, so I'd share it here. You can download it here: https://gist.github.com/zikeji/144247cb20793a5a7c65653e5f7c572b A simple one line to download it and set the executable bit: wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/zikeji/144247cb20793a5a7c65653e5f7c572b/raw/a414cc4f6828904992f18e0a0bdecf6cf5e4f85c/airvpn_remotes.sh -q -O airvpn_remotes.sh && chmod +x airvpn_remotes.sh Warning: Remember, for your safety ALWAYS review a downloaded script before executing it! The command's help output: airvpn_remotes.sh Description: Use dig and fping generate multiple remotes for an AirVPN config, replacing existing remote(s), and ignoring IPs that aren't responding. Remotes are placed in order of lowest ping to highest. Usage: airvpn_remotes.sh [--port=<int>] [--query=<fqdn>] [--ipv4] [--ipv6] [--remote-random] [--in-place] [input-file] airvpn_remotes.sh -h | --help Options: -h, --help Show this screen. -p <int>, --port=<fqdn> Override the port supplied on each remote line [default: 443]. -q <fqdn>, --query=<fqdn> Supply the DNS record you wish to query to use the IPs from [default: ca.all.vpn.airdns.org]. -s <ns>, --server=<ns> The name server you wish to query the records against [default: ns1.airvpn.org]. -c <int>, --count=<int> Change the amount of pings ran by fping for more accurate ping sorting [default: 4]. -4, --ipv4 Only query IPv4. -6, --ipv6 Only query IPv6. -r, --remote-random Add remote-random to the AirVPN config (this will cause OpenVPN to randomize the server order when connecting). -i<ext>, --in-place=<ext> Edit the file in place (makes backup if extension supplied), ignored if no input file is supplied. The first non-option argument is the name of the input file; if no input file is specified, then the standard input is read. All other non-option arguments after the first are ignored. You'll need to ensure dig and fping are installed on your distribution before you can use it. Additionally, if your system doesn't support IPv6 it'll only return IPv4 be default (because naturally pinging the IPv6 addresses will fail). And finally, I've only tested the script on Ubuntu 20.04, but hopefully you don't run into trouble. By default the script checks the DNS record AirVPN maintains for all of CA's servers. You can find out more about the records option here: https://airvpn.org/faq/servers_ip/ The help file should be pretty clear as to how to use the script, but I'll provide an example. I want to update my AirVPN.ovpn file with new remotes that'll be executed randomly and only include IPv4 remotes, and I want them from the Netherlands. Additionally, instead of connecting in order I want it to connect to a random server defined in the config. Since I use port 1194 instead of port 443, I also want each remote to use port 1194 instead of the default. I also want it to backup my original config before overwriting it. I would run: ./airvpn_remotes.sh -r4 -qnl.all.vpn.airdns.org -p1194 -iold AirVPN.ovpn Which would remove any lines from my AirVPN conf that are a remote or a remote-random and add the new remotes, sorted by lowest ping first (which is irrelevant because we're also adding remote-random). Hopefully this script might be useful for someone else as well!

Hello, last year I had written a wrapper for Eddie's CLI version (in bash) to be able to use it more easily and extensively in the linux command line like the GUI, but with less resources. I have used it since then every day without problems, but now I have finally gotten to overhaul it and adjust it to Hummingbird because it is just so much faster! I also tried to make it more easy to configure (by having a separate configuration file) and added some new functionality like support (and automatic recognition) of iptables and nftables to lock down the system even without being connected to AirVPN and automatic connection at boot with a systemd unit. Again, feel free to use this as you wish, I hope someone can benefit from this. I'm happy about any improvements and corrections and will update this if I find the time. Features graphical interface in the command line to connect to AirVPN with Hummingbird (no Eddie involved) runs in background, the interface can be closed/opened anytime without affecting the running connection possibility to connect to any server with just one ovpn configuration file easily connect to a random server, to a recommended server, to the recommended server of a specific country or to a specific server sortable list of all servers including info like used bandwidth, load and number of users possibility to connect to other VPNs with openconnect lock down system by default (permanently if you want), so even without AirVPN/Hummingbird running there won't be any unwanted network traffic automatically establish connection at boot (which can later be controlled via the interface) logging of Hummingbird's output (number of days to keep logs for can be adjusted) system notifications to let you know what happens in the background Some general notes The default network lock determines, like Hummingbird itself, if iptables, iptables-legacy or nftables is available on your system and will use the first one found in that list. You can overwrite that by specifying which one to use in the configuration file. Once activated, the lock will stay in place until manually deactivated, so no internet connection will be possible unless connected to AirVPN or other whitelisted VPNs. You can make the lock permanent (or rather activate at boot) by enabling that option in the configuration file. AirVPN's network lock overwrites the default network lock, so there will be no interference. IMPORTANT: If you have any frontend firewall for iptables/nftables running, you might to disable that or read up on how it might interfere with rule changes you make directly via iptables/nft. The same thing applies if you use just Hummingbird itself. If you enable the default permanent network lock, it will write the lock rules at boot, most likely overwriting rules by firewalld or the like, but other enabled firewalls might interfere later. Also important: If you have SELinux and you want to use nftables for Hummingbird starting at boot, you have to create a SELinux exception for nft bcause otherwise it will be denied and Hummingbird starts without setting up its own lock, thus leaving you unprotected (AirVPN staff is aware of this issue). You can do that with audit2allow. Follow for example this guide to troubleshoot the problem and fix it with the solution given by sealert. Check your /etc/resolv.conf file while not running Hummingbird (because Hummingbird's network lock replaces that file temporarily) to make sure your router is not set as a nameserver (so no 192.168... address). Some routers will push themselves on that list by DHCP whenever you connect to their network. Since communication with the router is allowed in the lock rules, DNS requests will be handled by the router and sent to whatever DNS server is configured there even when network traffic should be blocked. There are ways to prevent that file from being changed by DHCP, best configure network manager for that if you use it. To connect to other VPNs, their IPs must be whitelisted and DNS requests for their domains must be allowed in the default network lock rules (netfilter_ipbatles.rulesipv4/ipv6 and/or netfilter_nftables.rules). Only edit those files with the default network lock deactivated. The rules for airvpn.org can be copied and adjusted. You can set custom options for Hummingbird in the interface or the configuration file. All the possible options can be found in the Hummingbird manual or with sudo hummingbird --help Apart from dialog I tried to only use basic system tools. The scripts will check if everything needed is present, if not they will exit. At least bash 4 is needed. The scripts rely mostly on dialog, awk and curl (and iptables/nft as described and openconnect if needed), so it should work on most systems. I wrote and tested this on Fedora 32 with Hummingbird 1.0.3. It should be possible to use any ovpn config file generated by the AirVPN's config generator. Even with the file for one specific server it should be possible to connect to any other server because the server override function is used here. I haven't tested that extensively though and just use the config file for earth. AirVPN's API seems to be a little unreliable sometimes as in not correctly reporting the connection status. Sometimes the API reports me not being connected although I am connected to an AirVPN server. This is no big deal, it just means that the connection status sometimes may be shown falsely as disconnected. If you have the default network lock activated, no traffic would be possible if you were actually disconnected. And, lastly, VERY IMPORTANT: I am still no programmer and do this only on this on the side, so even though I tried my best to make these scripts secure and error free, there might very well be some bad practice, never-ever-do-this mistakes or other hiccups in there. It works very well for me (and has for quite a while by now), but better check it yourself. UPDATE As of 2020/08/29 this project including updates, changelog and further instructions is publicly available on GitLab. There it can be more easily examined, downloaded and updated. Thus I have removed the scripts, installation instructions and the archive with all the files from this post. Check out the GitLab project for the newest version.

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.

hi, over the last two days i have had real difficulty using the airvpn client. it remains stuck on the checking authorization phase and does not progress. i have to keep killing the process and retrying it in order to get a secure connection. anyone facing similar issues? any solutions? thanks

I got my version (2.18.9) from the Debian/Unbutu repository and don't find any .service file installed. I also looked in the portable version (.tar.gz), and I don't find anything there either. There is something missing, or something I miss? Thanks

Hi. I am using this systemd unit file to start eddie-ui. It's working well at the startup of my server. But sometime, i want to stop it to make some tests. So, I stop it with a "systemctl stop airvpn.service". A kil SIGTERM signal is sent by systemd to the eddie to stop it, but it don't close gracefully, some errors are generated. Often after a stop, my server can't access the network, I can't restart Eddie and I have to reboot my server. There is a way another way stop an running eddie-ui batch process other than sending a SIGTERM signal? Thanks There is le log of what happening whene systemd stop my service : (i'm running on Unbutu 18) avr 18 14:43:13 systemd[1]: Stopping AirVPN Client (Eddie)... avr 18 14:43:13 eddie-ui[26906]: . 2020.04.18 14:43:13 - Above log line repeated 1 times more avr 18 14:43:13 eddie-ui[26906]: . 2020.04.18 14:43:13 - Received signal SIGTERM avr 18 14:43:13 eddie-ui[26906]: . 2020.04.18 14:43:13 - Shutdown in progress avr 18 14:43:13 eddie-ui[26906]: ! 2020.04.18 14:43:13 - Disconnecting avr 18 14:43:18 eddie-ui[26906]: F 2020.04.18 14:43:18 - Unexpected crash of elevated helper:Connection reset by peer avr 18 14:43:18 eddie-ui[26906]: . 2020.04.18 14:43:18 - Routes, removed a route previously added, xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx for gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx avr 18 14:43:18 eddie-ui[26906]: W 2020.04.18 14:43:18 - Routes, add xx:xx:xx:xx:xx for gateway xx:xx:xx:xx:xx failed: Connection reset by peer avr 18 14:43:18 eddie-ui[26906]: . 2020.04.18 14:43:18 - Connection terminated. avr 18 14:43:18 eddie-ui[26906]: . 2020.04.18 14:43:18 - DNS of the system restored to original settings (Rename method) avr 18 14:43:18 eddie-ui[26906]: E 2020.04.18 14:43:18 - Fatal error occured, please contact Eddie support: Connection reset by peer - at Eddie.Core.ElevatedProcess.DoCommandSync (Eddie.Core.ElevatedProcess+Command c) [0x0002b] in <858605a5cb284b46ae78a1a5be9f3a18>:0 avr 18 14:43:18 eddie-ui[26906]: E 2020.04.18 14:43:18 - at Eddie.Core.ElevatedProcess.DoCommandSync (System.String command) [0x00017] in <858605a5cb284b46ae78a1a5be9f3a18>:0 avr 18 14:43:18 eddie-ui[26906]: E 2020.04.18 14:43:18 - at Eddie.Platform.Linux.Platform.OnDnsSwitchRestore () [0x00031] in <2ef95171729245d8aab83614036a9dd3>:0 avr 18 14:43:18 eddie-ui[26906]: E 2020.04.18 14:43:18 - at Eddie.Core.Threads.Session.OnRun () [0x00d7a] in <858605a5cb284b46ae78a1a5be9f3a18>:0 avr 18 14:43:18 eddie-ui[26906]: . 2020.04.18 14:43:18 - Flushing DNS avr 18 14:43:18 eddie-ui[26906]: [ERROR] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: System.Exception: Connection reset by peer avr 18 14:43:18 eddie-ui[26906]: at Eddie.Core.ElevatedProcess.DoCommandSync (Eddie.Core.ElevatedProcess+Command c) [0x0002b] in <858605a5cb284b46ae78a1a5be9f3a18>:0 avr 18 14:43:18 eddie-ui[26906]: at Eddie.Core.ElevatedProcess.DoCommandSync (System.String command, System.String key1, System.String val1) [0x00024] in <858605a5cb284b46ae78a1a5be9f3a18>:0 avr 18 14:43:18 eddie-ui[26906]: at Eddie.Platform.Linux.Platform.FlushDNS () [0x0002e] in <2ef95171729245d8aab83614036a9dd3>:0 avr 18 14:43:18 eddie-ui[26906]: at Eddie.Core.Threads.Session.OnRun () [0x00fd6] in <858605a5cb284b46ae78a1a5be9f3a18>:0 avr 18 14:43:18 eddie-ui[26906]: at Eddie.Core.Thread.DoRun () [0x00000] in <858605a5cb284b46ae78a1a5be9f3a18>:0 avr 18 14:43:18 eddie-ui[26906]: at System.Threading.ThreadHelper.ThreadStart_Context (System.Object state) [0x00017] in <8f2c484307284b51944a1a13a14c0266>:0 avr 18 14:43:18 eddie-ui[26906]: at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.RunInternal (System.Threading.ExecutionContext executionContext, System.Threading.ContextCallback callback, System.Object state, System.Boolean preserveSyncCtx) [0x0008d] in <8f2c484307284b51944a1a13a14c0266>:0 avr 18 14:43:18 eddie-ui[26906]: at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.Run (System.Threading.ExecutionContext executionContext, System.Threading.ContextCallback callback, System.Object state, System.Boolean preserveSyncCtx) [0x00000] in <8f2c484307284b51944a1a13a14c0266>:0 avr 18 14:43:18 eddie-ui[26906]: at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.Run (System.Threading.ExecutionContext executionContext, System.Threading.ContextCallback callback, System.Object state) [0x00031] in <8f2c484307284b51944a1a13a14c0266>:0 avr 18 14:43:18 eddie-ui[26906]: at System.Threading.ThreadHelper.ThreadStart () [0x0000b] in <8f2c484307284b51944a1a13a14c0266>:0 avr 18 14:43:18 systemd[1]: Stopped AirVPN Client (Eddie).

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!!

If you're running AirVPN on Linux you probably don't want to have to type your sudo password in each time it runs. Why? If you're auto-starting it, you want your network lock and VPN connection to happen as soon as you login. Here's what I did for Ubuntu (Actually Kubuntu)... Install gksu (sudo apt install gksu) Add AirVPN to your autostart list and for command use gksudo /usr/bin/airvpn Run sudo nano /usr/share/applications/AirVPN.desktop and change the command to gksudo /usr/bin/airvpn Edit the AirVPN entry in your application launcher and change the command to gksudo /usr/bin/airvpn Run sudo visudo and add the line %airvpn ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/airvpn after all other rules (Press Ctrl+x and then Enter to exit and save). Run sudo groupadd airvpn Run sudo usermod -a -G airvpn user replacing "user" with your account's username. You're done. The next time you login (Or start it any any other way) AirVPN will start without entering any password. Note: Your AirVPN settings will be back to default after doing this. Don't worry, just set them again and they'll save.

Hi, Is it possible to use ChaCha20 if I'm using the Gnome Network Manager OpenVPN wrapper? If so, how do I do it?

Hi all, I've followed the instructions at https://airvpn.org/topic/11431-using-airvpn-with-linux-from-terminal/ in order to set up my account. This works fine and leak-free, when my local networks gives me an IPv4 address -- but if I get an IPv6 address, that address is leaked to remote sites according to https://ipleak.net/ . How do I prevent that? Thanks, Chris

How I can hide from website I am using vpn??

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.

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: ...

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 ?

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.

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

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

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!

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

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.

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. Well, technically it's a wrong login. I 2018.08.25 18:23:40 - Checking login ...F 2018.08.25 18:23:41 - Wrong login/password. I can't remember my settings since they are saved in the Windows client and I've never changed them.

When using VPN on Linux with openvpn I get 3 DNS adresses on ipleak.net. 1. AirVpn-Server Exit Ipv4, 2. AirVpn-Server Exit Ipv6 and 3. the residential address of my ISP. Note: This is not my own home IP, but rather the one by my ISP. Should I be worried? Ipv6 is disabled.
