Whenever there is a promotion, the advertisement popup window pops up. Usually right at the time when I'm about to click the "Connect" button, so instead of that I'm hitting the advertisement link or button, which tries to open up the link in my browser. And as I'm just about to connect, I'm still out on the net without a vpn connection, and (among others) the domain "airvpn.org" is blocked by a firewall, that's why I need a vpn in the first place. As a consequence, every time it happens, I'm there in the firewall's blocking log as trying to access airvpn.org, again and again. I don't know how many times it should happen before triggering an alarm, but I don't want to find it out either. Could you *please* add a setting where I can turn off this advertisement popup, or just display its content in the main window as far away from the connect button as possible, or hook that window not to the "program started" event but to the "vpn established", or at least just show the link as plain text so clicking it doesn't open a browser to it?

Hello everyone, I'm not sure if you have heard that Verizon (VZW) has been, for the past two years, inserting a perma-cookie into HTTP traffic headers via means of a UIDH. The UIDH ignores: private browsing, do not track, even Verizon's own opt-outs. I have assembled some links below to provide you some more information regarding this issue. AFAIK, AirVPN users are safe from VZW tracking. You are also safe on sites that use HTTPS. According to some comments in the various articles (links to articles below), it appears at least AT&T is doing the same thing as VZW.
