Right now the only way a script can judge whether or not a server is having issues is to check the text within the "health" key. This is great for understanding if a server is currently dealing with an issue at the exact moment of the check, but it doesn't help for servers that are having repeated instances of packet loss. This results in any "rank AirVPN servers" script that sorts based on bandwidth and health to always choose the latest server to recover from a high packet loss incident since it'll be using the least amount of its possible bandwidth. It doesn't seem like a nice idea to recommend users to dogpile onto a server that's already recovering from a network issue so I'd like to request more historical status information to be added to the server API schema. Compare the data in the API (https://airvpn.org/api/status/) to what's available in the Status Log table at the bottom of every server page. https://airvpn.org/servers/Revati/ That log gives a better picture of the server health over a longer period of time than just "ok" or "warning". So I'm proposing something like this: { "deprecated_warning": "'ip_entry' and 'ip_entry_alt' are deprecated. Use 'ip_v4_in1' and 'ip_v4_in2' instead.", "servers": [ { "public_name": "Achernar", "country_name": "Switzerland", ... "health": "warning", "warning": "Low packet loss", // The number of packet loss events for the server over a set time period "recent_health_events": 7, "status_log": [ { // Use date string or Unix timestamp "date": YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:SSZ, // Duration of packet loss event in seconds "duration": 61, // Amount of packet loss, 100 = 100% loss. Max loss is most useful value IMO "packet_loss": 31 }, { "date": 2026-06-04T02:35:11Z, "duration": 320, "packet_loss": 57 } ... ] }, ... ] ) A sliding window slice of events that have happened within 12 or 24 hours for each server would give a quick picture of the ongoing health of a server and allow tools (like the little bash script for gluetun I'm writing) to make better choices and spread out the load. Even just the "recent_health_events" value with a simple total of the packet loss events over a period of time would be a huge improvement. This is just a first draft proposal, any naming or implementation specifics would be in the hands of AirVPN developers. So don't get too caught up on naming or structure; this is more about voicing the lack of API information for making better server choices. EDIT: Small language fixes for readability.

Here are some suggestions for improving the server listing page. Some of these features are baked into your Eddie client, and would be awesome to have on the web page: Proximity/location-based sorting/filtering - continent, country, state, city. Anything to help narrow down Load sorting/filtering - sort or filter list by current server load Latency testing/sorting/filtering - if user is not connected to vpn, execute a ping test, similar to https://gameserverping.com/ping-test Favorite/star - user can mark favorites Recently used / most used by user - I often go searching down the list for the ones I most commonly connect to.

Hello! I'm following this description (link) to create a VPN-proxy VM in Qubes OS. There is a step where i should create some firewall rules in the VPN-proxy to prevent leaks. I'd like to use a random European .ovpn configuration, so i go to Config Generator > choosing Linux as my OS, IPv4 only for IP layer exit and IPv4 as Connect with IP layer, tick the Advenced Mode, selecting OpenVPN version >=2.5, choosing OpenVPN TCP 443 tls-crypt, tls1.2 as the protocol and tick By Continents > Europe and finally generating and downloading the .ovpn config file, where i changed eurpe3.vpn... to europe3.all.vpn.... To create the firewall rule, I need the IP addresses that belong to the European servers. What is the easiest way to find out these IP addresses? If i'm downloading the .ovpn file as resolved hosts, i only get 1 IP address. Thanks any help you can provided!

Hi I like to choose only one favourite server (with the green tick), so the server list has one server. What happens if i choose "lock current" and then that server is removed for maintenance. What does Eddie do next... does the server list become populated (caused by my green ticked server gone) and Eddie choose a random server? Or will Eddie stay disconnected with the server list be empty... until i choose a new favourite by green ticking a server so the list has a server in it? Thanks

Hi there, I'm OS/X (10.10.5) and I used to have the latest stable client installed. I thought I'd try out the latest experimental version but I found that to be unstable when the client went into sleep mode and tried to reconnect. So I uninstalled the experimental client (using CleanApp to remove all files and settings) and reinstalled the latest stable version. However, CleanApp must have missed something as the Server list in the Stable Version has no names and as a result it has trouble authenticating and connecting to ALL servers. It gets stuck in a error loop of trying to authenticate to a I was wondering if anyone has experienced this before and what fixes I could apply?
