What are the dependencies to get the AirVPN Linux client to work? I was apparently able to install the client with the .deb, but nothing happens when I try to execute it, so I figure that probably means some dependencies are missing.

Hey @all, I'm running AirVPN on my dd-wrt router through server x in location y, and want to change locations/servers for certain websites by running openvpn on windows with a different server/location. I can establish a connection, but the final server/connection remains the one I set on dd-wrt. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance Kind regards

Hello, I would like to know whether it is possible to restrict AirVPN to a single specific application (such as uTorrent) while keeping your original connection for other things (such as gaming). Greetz, - Mercury

I'll admit I do not full understand how VPN's work so this question might seem very n00bish. Can you ISP restrict or throttle a connection to a VPN, click I've heard some ISP's restrict Netflix access.

Hey, I'm running Airvpn via the terminal, I get my .ovpn from the generator and it works just fine. But how do I terminate the vpn and drop back to my normal IP? Thanks.

Hello, I am writing to request a new server or servers in Estonia. A server in Estonia would be a great addition, as Estonia has excellent online freedom. Please see the links below for more info. 1 2 3 4 5 6 What are your thoughts about my suggestion? Feel free to reply and/or answer the poll.

I would like to set up my router's firewall to deny all inbound and outbound traffic unless it is coming from or going to the airvpn servers. Is there a group of static IP addresses I can use to define this? Thank you.

I searched the forums and did not find a post regarding gaming over VPN. If there already is a post on the subject, forgive me and provide a link, please. I am experiencing some latency (lag) when playing “Call of Duty: Ghosts” multiplayer online game. I am connecting to airvpn's (Kuma) server via a DD-WRT router and the connection is very stable. I have an xbox 360 connected via Ethernet cable to the router with UPNP turned on (NAT open). On average my connection stats via VPN are: ping: 54, DL: 3.83 Mbps, UL: 0.60 Mbps. On average my connection stats without VPN are: ping: 14, DL: 6 Mbps, UL: 1.3 Mbps Am I just being paranoid for wanting to hide my real IP address when playing online games on a console, or is there a real concern with vengeful players finding out my IP address? I don’t know how another player would be able to get that info, but I have heard stories of players initiating denial of service (DOS) attacks and such on other players. Are there any tricks or tips that you might be able to share that would improve my overall gaming experience over VPN? Hourly, the VPN connection re-authorizes, or whatever it is called. I have the router set to only all connections through the VPN, to prevent IP leakage. Would this cause lag spikes and/or loss of connection to the game host server? What would be the best airvpn server for me to use for Call of Duty or other first person shooter games? I live in southeast Alabama and I don’t have any idea where the game host servers are located for Call of Duty. I have tried a couple different servers and the Kuma server seems to provide a fast and stable connection. However, I still experience lag most of the time.Thanks!

I'm trying to make it so all of my traffic goes through the VPN and no traffic goes around it. I am running windows 7. How can I route all of my traffic through AirVPN while also not allowing any traffic to go around it?

My normal internet speed is 60-70 Mbps, but when i decide to use the vpn now, my speeds are gone. Always less than 10mbps, normally about 4-5mbps. This Suddenly happened, I had moved my router to a different room as well as my computer when it happened, but i don't see why this would have caused anything to happen if my normal speeds are the same. Also, why is there no japan servers? just curious.

Hello, I have a strange problem: I'm using Linux Mint 17 (Cinnamon, 64-bit), no firewall settings applied. After connecting to AirVPN through the network-manager (using .ovpn config file imported) or using "Eddie 2.1 (Portable)" I cannot connect to my Jabber/XMPP profiles (i have two different profiles on two different jabber-servers, including Jitsi). I have tried Pidgin, Gajim and Jitsi. Pidgin cannot login into my accout, Gajim is seems to be connected but no one can see me logged in and I don't see any contacts online, and I cannot send/receive any messages - so I'm accually offline. When I am connected to Jitsi/XMPP account I can see other contacts and they can see me, but I cannot send messages only receive them and I cannot make/receive any calls. In all cases, when I use "Net Activity Viewer" application I see that there is a connection established from local address 10.4.x.x to a jabber-server on a remote port 5222 but still I cannot communicate. I have also tried to flush iptables settings just to be sure - it didn't help. // Just to be clear - I try to connect to XMPP after I have established AirVPN connection. Everything else working but XMPP. When I'm disconnected from AirVPN everything works just fine. // I was using AirVPN under Windows 7 and everything was working (with Comodo anti-leaking Global Rules applied). To be 100% sure, I have tried a clean install of Linux Mint 16 and 17 (both Cinnamon, 64-bit) on a flash drive. The problem repeated. There is more: I have tried to boot from Linux Mint Debian Edition (from a flash drive with installation iso image written on it) - there was NO problem connecting to XMPP accounts under AirVPN connection (using Eddie 2.1 Portable! I just don't know what to think about all of this... some kind of a mystery.

Hello, in the last week I noticed that AIRVPN Downloadspeed is getting lower and lower. Normaly I have 24MBits/4,5Mbits but when using AIRVPN i get arround 3-5Mbits in both Down- and Upload. I tried to connect to different servers at different times, but best I can get since one week is arround 14Mbits. Any idea to fix this? I wouldnt ask if I havent allready experienced 24Mbits with VPN so there is a way to get such speeds. Regards

Hello, I installed successfully an AirVPN connexion on my synology station using those instructions The goal is to redirect all the torrent traffic (Download Station application) through the VPN tunnel. The thing is that I have other services on this synology server, like cloud station etc.. To use those services I use a dynamic DNS name (currently at no-ip.org). Problem is that when I am connected through the VPN tunnel, those services don't work anymore. What is the best approach to this problem ? In my mind, the best would be to be able to split the traffic on my synology server i.e. to redirect only the traffic of the Download Station application through the VPN but not the rest. I have not been able to find a clear "How to do this" and I don't even know if it is possible. Other possibilities would be to open some ports on the vpn servers I am using if I have understood correctly. Thanks in advance if you have more detailed instructions or ideas on how to achieve this goal.

Hi, I have noticed today that whenever I connect to AirVPN via Herculis, Furud or Carinae I can not access any website they all just sit there at loading. I noticed the other day I think but didn't pay any attention and just disconnected. If I disconnect AirVPN all websites load again. I am running OSX 10.9.3 with Viscosity as my VPN manager. I am on a Virgin Media 30Mb connection and I am not sure if it is related to the other VM post going around. Corey

Hello, I have a DD-WRT router which had its WiFi functionality quit, so I'm looking to replace it with a PFSense device. I've got about $70 to buy a PFSense device (used is fine), so I've got a few questions. I have speed of ~40mbps up and ~4mbps down on my network connection. What specs would you suggest to run an always-on connection to Air with 3-5 computers behind the PFSense device (the computers wouldn't be running 24/7)? How much RAM, CPU, etc.? I'd like to buy something that can handle the load of OpenVPN without spending too much or significantly slowing down (ie not <50% of current speed) my web access. Here are the devices I'm considering: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pfsense-2-1-Instagate-EX2-Firewall-VPN-Router-/301114026875?pt=US_Firewall_VPN_Devices&hash=item461bcb6b7b http://www.ebay.com/itm/Router-Firewall-VPN-QOS-appliance-running-pfSense-LAN-and-WAN-ports-/181379828147?pt=US_Wired_Routers&hash=item2a3b1489b3 http://www.ebay.com/itm/pfSense-2-1-2-Router-Firewall-VPN-QOS-appliance-LAN-and-WAN-ports-/181385843068?pt=US_Wired_Routers&hash=item2a3b70517c http://www.ebay.com/itm/pfSense-2-1-2-ROUTER-FIREWALL-1GHz-SSD-Flash-VPN-DMZ-DUAL-GIGABIT-WAN-GUI-3-port-/360909880045?pt=US_Thin_Clients&hash=item5407e7baed Please let me know which you think is best.

Hi! After AirVPN Major System Update of April 2014 user can use three alternative connections simultaneously on three different devices with only one bought account. I would like to use my laptop (with Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit and Comodo Firewall configured to prevent ip leaks) as a hotspot. When Comodo Firewall is turned off, everything works perfectly. I can connect my netbook to internet via my laptop and, of course, use AirVPN clients on both machines. However, when Comodo Firewall is turned on, it blocks device, which is connected to hotspot providing computer, from obtaining the internet data transmission. My Comodo Firewall on host is set to prevent leakage according to to the description given here (https://airvpn.org/t...-prevent-leaks/). To let device (connected to host) be connected to internet, I have to disable the main firewall rule (Block And Log IP In/Out From MAC Any To MAC Any Where Protocol Is Any) by changing the command "Block and Log" into "Allow and Log". After the moment when device was just connected and AirVPN client started the encryption of all the communication with the network, the rule can be restored. Is there a possibility to modify configuration of Comodo Firewall to let devices be connected to network through hotspot providing computer without any manual operations within the firewall of the latter? If yes, tell me how, please. I would like to be still protected against ip leakage of course. Thank you for your responses.

Hi, I got a problem when connecting the AirVPN clinet through the Tor Browser Bundle 3.5.4 (Windows). First, I got the following error message: Attempting to establish TCP connection with [AF_INET]127.0.0.1:9150 TCP connection established with [AF_INET]127.0.0.1:9150 socks_handshake: server asked for username/login auth but we were not provided any credentials SIGTERM[soft,init_instance] received, process exiting Failed to start. So I have replaced the port setting in the torrc-defaults file to: SOCKSPort 127.0.0.1:9150 PreferSOCKSNoAuth Now the error message looks like this: Attempting to establish TCP connection with [AF_INET]127.0.0.1:9150 TCP connection established with [AF_INET]127.0.0.1:9150 recv_socks_reply: Socks proxy returned bad reply SIGTERM[soft,init_instance] received, process exiting Failed to start. What should I do now?

Please help, VPN we regularly work on: Scene 1: ddwrt (OpenVPN) -> WLAN -> WAN (Internet) This works prerfektno! But when I go to push through OpenVPN Local Proxy I do not know how to make a route to the local proxy. Port: 8080 Proxy Server = 172.20.0.122 You should somehow make the iptables command to ddwrt WLAN (client) proxies to access the Interent. Scene 2 ddwrt (OpenVPN) -> WLAN -> Proxy Server -> WAN (Internet) Details: Local Network (192.168.2.1) -> WLAN (192.168.1.2) / ddwrt (VPN) -> Proxy server (172.20.0.122:8080) -> Internet (OpenVPN server). pfSense heve that options: Thank you for the reply,

Hi, Is it possible to run a personal VPN server at the same time as connecting to AirVPN? I don't know a great deal about networking/VPNs, but I do have a decent router (pFsense) that I built for better VPN speeds and I'm going to set it up so my the VPN is running on there, as opposed to individual PCs so that all network traffic is protected. In the past, I've had a VPN server so that I can connect to my home network whilst working away and I'm wondering if this is still possible? If so, will my portable devices share the same external IP as my home network? Just an indication of whether I can do this or not and a nudge in the right direction and I should be able to figure the rest out myself. Thanks!

The following slides were published by The Intercept about exploiting VPN and VoIP protocols: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/1076868-vpn-and-voip-exploitation-with-hammerchant-and.html#document/p1 I cannot understand them well. Can anyone here infer whether the OpenVPN protocol as implemented by Air (or in any form) may be vulnerable?

Can i use osiris while i'm connected by your vpn? if yes what port i must set on osiris? because in osiris i can't visit any portal for this error: P.S. I'm using ubuntu 12.04

Hi! I have a strange problem. I have been using AirVPN since year and a half. Everything was ok until I updated my Windows 8.1 64-bit a day ago. Since then my real IP has been revealed and there is no trace, according to ipleak.net, of AirVPN connection. I don't know where the shoe pinches indeed. I have reinstalled TAP-Windows Adapter V 9. Windows shows AirVPN is connected. AirVPN connection manager itself displays network access. In Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections I can see that OpenVPN adapter is linked. Furthermore, Online Armor (firewall which I use) identifies AirVPN linkage. So, VPNCheck does. I have to add that my internet operates through 3G+ modem. Except for AirVPN on Windows 8 64-bit, I use the same OS on VMware Player. It is actually the copy of my physical computer with drivers removed and Comodo Free Firewall set as it should be to avoid IP leaks. This virtualized enviroment was updated as well a day ago. The same 3G+ modem is in use. Everything proceeds ok. After update IP Address (Windows Metro App) shows my ISP connection with masked IP, except for AirVPN as it used to be. But, may it be, it doesn't matter. I have not experienced any problems yet using Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander Live CD, identical OS or Linux Mint 16 Petra on virtual machines. I would like to emphasize that I want not to install Comodo Firewall on my "hardware version" of Windows 8.1. It lowered performance of my computer obviously. Even if task manager presented a lot of free resources. I enclosed AirVPN connection manager's log and ipconfig /all below. Please help me with described problem. Best regards Log AirVPN.pdf IPCONFIG.pdf

dynamic IP must be in AIR VPN , whats says brothers

must have RSA 4096 BIt when it doesnt impact performance and doesnt cost then why not ?? it is never been late to do the right thing other VPN giving RSA 4096 since 2013 and so many more and more higher encryption this is more important than Water after dinner and sex after party must have RSA 4096 Bit encryption guys

Hello and thank you in advance for any help with this. I have never ran a Tor relay before, but I would like to try to enable a "middle-man" relay through my VPN connection if it is possible. I am trying to configure the Tor "middle-man" relay using my /etc/tor/torrc file and iptables.rules file.

So to keep things simple, I don't know if I need ports forwarded or if I just need some new iptables rules to make things work. (or both) Currently my Tor Browser Bundle (TBB) works on port 9150 and 9151 over my VPN connection and so does my Tor/Privoxy connection using Socks4a for port 9050 and 8118. When running both tor instances I have 6 EntryGuards to start. When I configure the "middle-man" relay in my linux /etc/tor/torrc file I get about 20-80 more ESTABLISHED connection with the original 6 ESTABLISHED EntryGuards. But after a few minutes I only have the original 6 EntryGuards as ESTABLISHED connections when using the netstat command.
