Hello everyone. I was wondering if it is possible to use an ad-blocking non-AirVPN DNS on iOS? Why do we have to use the original airVPN DNS in the first place. We should have a choice of what dns server(s) we wish to use. Does anyone know if and how to get this to work? Thanks.

Hi guys I always use to check my network info on ipleak.net also to make sure I'm connected to the vpn but, recently, using the Austria servers ipleak.net started to show that I'm connecting from UK. It's not a real problem as long as there are no info discloused about my real IP or provider, but I'd like to understand why that's happening. Andrea

Just got airvpn and the download speeds on torrents keep rising and dropping all the time. Ive downloaded in the past without VPN and with a different VPN and the speeds were always steady around 900 kbs and 1mbs or higher. With airvpn its constantly fluctating every minute or 2. It goes up to around 1 mbs, then drops to 100kbs rinse and repeat. Already tried different servers and ports through SSL and SSH same thig.

Currently I cant watch netflix while using a VPN tunnel, is there a quick fix for this?

Hey guys, I was wondering now that your other competitors are actively integrating Wireguard into their offerings, when do you think you'll have something ready for your customers?

Hello everyone, I would like to create rules in the Windows 7 firewall so the AirVPN Edie client can work properly. Right now I have to allow all outbound connections for the client to work, which is not that secure. I want to have my Windows 7 firewall block all inbound and outbound connections unless I make a rule which allows a connection. I tried to make new rules in the Windows 7 firewall which included the AirVPN client files located in C:\Program Files\AirVPN to allow the connections but this did not work. I am fairly new to making firewall rules and using a VPN, so I need a basic explanation how to do this. Any advice would be appreciated.

Sirs I just want to uninstall AIRvpn from Windows 7. I tried uninstalling via Control Panel>Programs & Features>AirVPN uninstall. It said it was uninstalled. Trouble is that I now have NO internet connection. I want to know: 1. Is there a simple way to uninstall it? 2. If yes, how do I do it? 3. If there's no simple way, why isn't there a simple way? 4. If there's only a complicated way, please tell me in VERY simple terms. I'm a bit of an idiot with computers. Wozza

Hi everyone, Since I changed the DNS servers from my internet box, I can only access to websites threw their IP (000.0.00.00) and not from their names (google.com). I think it's related to a DNS resolution problem. I've tried some known issues on Ubuntu such as adding these lines to my ovpn files : script-security 2up /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-confdown /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf Here is my connection logs : Thanks ! agent41

Hi all, I have a little problem. I try to tell it with my terrible English. So i like to setup this VPN(airvpn client) >>> SOCKS PROXY>>> Browsers and others, virtual machines etc... (all socks traffic over vpn). The host os is linux.

Very interesting paper here: ​ ​ http://blog.csiro.au/tinker-torrentor-streamer-spy-vpn-privacy-alert/ ​ ​No mention of AirVPN, though.

Hey guys, i'm brand new to Air vpn and vpn's in general, and I can't figure out how to run the vpn through tor. I am trying to figure out how to get the signal chain to look like this (Computer+vpn encription---->tor----->vpn----->internet. I have tried changing the settings in vpn under preferences to the tor connection option, it says connection successful, but then when I look up my ip through tor it shows the tor exit node ip meaning that anybody can see i'm using tor. Any tips would be great.

Hi, Long-time AirVPN user, I'm on a linux PC, using the ufw method described here: (https://airvpn.org/topic/5586-prevent-leaks-with-linux-firestarter-also-stop-traffic-when-vpn-drops/?p=14095). I would like to share this connection with other devices, having my PC serve as a kind of router. Assume I cannot modify my router or the other devices to natively use AirVPN. I have been able to create a wifi hotspot using an ethernet connection. However, my devices are unable to complete the connection until I disable the firewall. Obviously, this is not an acceptable solution as it will allow leaks and I was wondering if anyone here in the community could modify randombit and worric's method to allow hotspot usage.

Think of sshuttle as a "poor man's VPN". You start sudo sshuttle -r 1.2.3.4 0/0 and when you surf to http://ipchicken.com you're IP is 1.2.3.4, as if you were on a VPN. But sshuttle takes a whole different approach via python. If it works, it is great to use with a rental VPS or sth. like that. It may not work on all Linux versions, but if it does, it is less hassle to run and set up than "softether VPN".

Hello, I am not able to use AirVPN when using obfs4 bridges in Tor. I have found these threads on the topic, but none of them seem to give a conclusive solution: TOR (obfs) & AirVPN not workingTor with obfs4 - can't connect to airvpnI am running the latest 64-bit version of Eddie (2.11.10) and Tor 6.0.8 on Windows x64. I have been very careful to check that IP and ports in Tor network settings (Options --> Advanced --> Network --> Settings) match the ones in the "Proxy/Tor" section of Eddie preferences. Eddie log: I 2017.01.14 03:26:55 - Session starting. . 2017.01.14 03:26:55 - IPv6 disabled with packet filtering.

As soon as I disable obfs4 bridges, AirVPN and Tor work flawlessly (Using AirVPN with Tor) I actually run out of options and any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello, I have a question that maybe someone more knowledgeable can answer. I have a computer at home that runs airvpn client and a remote computer. I want to be able to connect from either computer to another one with ssh. Without airvpn client, everything works (obviously). If I run airvpn without network lock, I can ssh from home to remote (it goes via the AirVPN server) but not from remote to home. I tried to start airvpn with the parameter "routes.custom=my.remote.ip.addr,255.255.255.255,out" but it didn't help - the required route was not added to the routing table. However, that problem was easily solved: I added the route separately with "route add -host my.remote.ip.address gw 192.168.1.1" and all was well: ssh works from home to remote and from remote to home bypassing AirVPN as I want it to do. Now, I enable network lock. This time I need to add "allowed IP" parameter to be able to ssh from home to remote: ./airvpn -cli -connect -netlock -login=**** password=**** netlock.allowed_ips=my.remote.ip.addr But ssh from remote to home is blocked by the firewall. I can't find any airvpn parameter that can be used to create custom firewall rules. So I ended up with adding the required rule myself. Before: # iptables -L -v --line-numbers Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes) num pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination 1 177 16717 ACCEPT all -- lo any anywhere anywhere 2 0 0 ACCEPT all -- any any 255.255.255.255 anywhere 3 93 8963 ACCEPT all -- any any 192.168.0.0/16 192.168.0.0/16 4 26 4651 ACCEPT all -- any any 10.0.0.0/8 10.0.0.0/8 5 0 0 ACCEPT all -- any any 172.16.0.0/12 172.16.0.0/12 6 0 0 ACCEPT icmp -- any any anywhere anywhere icmp echo-request 7 1890 460K ACCEPT all -- any any anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED 8 0 0 ACCEPT all -- tun+ any anywhere anywhere 9 6 502 DROP all -- any any anywhere anywhere Add the rule: iptables -t filter -I INPUT 9 -i eth0 -p tcp -s my.remote.ip.addr --dport 22 -j ACCEPT After: # iptables -L -v --line-numbers Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes) num pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination 1 182 17197 ACCEPT all -- lo any anywhere anywhere 2 0 0 ACCEPT all -- any any 255.255.255.255 anywhere 3 107 10296 ACCEPT all -- any any 192.168.0.0/16 192.168.0.0/16 4 41 6945 ACCEPT all -- any any 10.0.0.0/8 10.0.0.0/8 5 0 0 ACCEPT all -- any any 172.16.0.0/12 172.16.0.0/12 6 0 0 ACCEPT icmp -- any any anywhere anywhere icmp echo-request 7 1981 480K ACCEPT all -- any any anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED 8 0 0 ACCEPT all -- tun+ any anywhere anywhere 9 0 0 ACCEPT tcp -- eth0 any my.remote.ip.addr anywhere tcp dpt:22 10 6 502 DROP all -- any any anywhere anywhere Now everything works again, but the question remains: what is the best way to achieve that ? In the worst case scenario, I can just start airvpn in the background, wait a minute or so and then run iptables with my additional rule. But that looks ugly. Can anyone think of a better way ? Maybe some "event.session..." or "event.vpn..." parameter will do the trick ? Thanks for any help.

hello there when deactivate network lock and exit from Eddie on windows 7 I don't have internet any help Thank you

hello all I have some trouble with airvpn on pfsense 2.3 I setup on esxi 6 pfsense and followed the instruction to route all my hosts trough airvpn the problem now is that all my hosts don't have an internet example windows server 2012 R2 shows that I have internet, but I can't open a single page I used almighty PING to troubleshooting the problem and I can ping the pfsense, but I can't ping the cable modem(I am not sure that I suppose to ping the cable modem) I follow the the steps once again and I found something in "Step 4-b: Setting the AirVpn Gateway" Gateways After Editing AirVPN_WAN System: Gateways | Gateways | ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ | Name | Interface | Gateway | Monitor IP | Description | Actions | | | | | | | | |_____________________|________________|___________________________|___________________________|________________________________|____________| | WAN_DHCP | WAN | 192.168.1.1 | 192.168.1.1 | Interface WAN_DHCP Gateway | | | (default) | | | | | ✐ ☐ Ø π | |_____________________|________________|___________________________|___________________________|________________________________|____________| | AirVPN_WAN | AirVPN_WAN | | | AirVPN_WAN | | | | | | | | ✐ ☐ Ø π | |_____________________|________________|___________________________|___________________________|________________________________|____________| in main WAN_DHCP (default) is under the AirVPN_WAN Is that going to make a difference ??????

Entire countries are redirected to US IP addresses. Either might be an IP problem, or the servers are really in the United States. If you cannot tell if the server is where they say it is, that's quite a problem! By comparison, i have only found about two AirVPN servers that Geolocate incorrectly, and there are plenty of alternative servers in those regions to supplement. Because PIA does not allow you to connect to specific servers, you have to roll a dice and hope that you connect to a server with good speeds and proper geo location. AirVPN by contrast allows you to pick these specifically, don't like a server? Don't use it. If its slow or has improper geolocation just connect to another server in the region.

EDIT: I realize that without developer mode enabled I can not connect to Air via ChromeOS.

Hi I have never been able to connect with the AirVPN client on OSX Sierra. It connects through the Windows client, Tunnelblick and OpenVPN but I would like to use the AirVPN client for more control. Can someone please suggest something. Here's my log:

Hello! I'm currently using Linux Mint 18 and would like to configure my system to use VPN over TOR (PC->TOR->VPN). How would I go about doing this? I'm using OpenVPN via terminal with UFW for a network lock. My UFW Config: [AIRVPN SRVR IP] 443/udp ALLOW OUT Anywhere Anywhere ALLOW OUT Anywhere on tun0 Anywhere (v6) ALLOW OUT Anywhere (v6) on tun0 Added to .ovpn configuration to prevent DNS leak: script-security 2 up /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf down /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf Thanks!
