Too many problems, thinking of switching

[borgqueenx 5]

I've always disliked that vpn randomly disconnects on my iphone using OpenVPN and airvpn refusing to make their own app that can stay connected like some alternatives out there that always keep working.

 

But now, airvpn on PC is also showing problems. The auto connect at pc startup is alot of times not working and constantly retrying, making me have a connecting of mere kilobytes per seconds, and i have to manually select a new server to make it work.

 

There seem to be coming lag spikes as well where the connection becomes utterly slow suddenly, and sometimes this lasts for minutes, not seconds.

 

I used to have a very good experience on PC with airvpn but the last ~3 weeks it has gone downhill.

Hello!

 

Well we can't help you unless you provide more information.

 

Otherwise you can submit a support ticket.

 

If AirVPN isn't for you, that's okay .

Have you ruled out your ISP? Everything is working fine here, although I have occasional problems with my ISP (network fault in the area) which slow things down.

 

I don't have an iPhone, but I use the standard OpenVPN connect app for Android.

My Linux server (gateway for my whole network) connects to AirVPN using the standard OpenVPN service.

 

When I'm out and about I connect from a Windows PC or android tablet (both using the vanilla OpenVPN client) and never have any issues. I have noticed that many "free" WiFi providers actively block VPN traffic, so even though you can establish a tunnel, you are unable to transfer any data through it. Maybe your ISP is doing the same?

make sure you're using the latest version of Eddie on your PC.

 

The only openvpn app on the iphone is openvpn connect.  all others are not based on openvpn and use the built in VPN options apple provides.  thus, they may behave "better".  but, openvpn is the more secure option.  any problems you have running openvpn connect have nothing to do with AirVPN and everything to do with the phone and the internet to which it's connected.

Just showing you what I'm looking at right now on my screen:
