puff-m-d · Nov 22, 2017

Hello,

AirVPN has made two announcements:
Five simultaneous connections per account (was previously three (3) simultaneous connections)

Hello!
We're glad to inform you that, from now on, every account can establish up to five simultaneous connections to AirVPN servers. As usual, no restrictions will be applied on IP addresses.
No price increase has been planned for this new feature.

Hello,

AirVPN has entered the experimental testing phase for IPv6 connections. Currently there is a new experimental server (Castor) set up for IPv6...
IPv6 support - Experimental phase (Announcement and Feedback)

We are glad to inform you that a new experimental server called Castor is now publicly available, with a series of new features:

Standard protocols/ports with IPv6 support, updated OpenVPN server, better cipher negotiation

Additional protocols/ports with IPv6 support, updated OpenVPN server, better cipher negotiation, 'tls-crypt' directive, TLS 1.2 forced
These additional protocols/ports require OpenVPN 2.4 or higher version

Internal load balancing between OpenVPN daemons

New DNS server engine

You can experiment with Castor in two modes:

Using the latest Eddie 2.14beta

Using our Config Generator (check 'Advanced' in top-right corner for IPv6 and tls-crypt options)

Notes:

The new server is marked as 'Experimental' and will not be proposed by default (opt-in).

Don't rely on Castor during the experimental period, we might need to reboot it to fix newest issues.

There is a bug related to Castor IPv6 DNS that occasionally affects only Windows. See the topic Why exists: pull-filter ignore "dhcp-option DNS6".
For this reason IPv6 DNS is disabled by default only with Config Generator. Eddie implements a workaround for this issue.

A lot of websites that perform IPv6 check can report false-positive, or in general browser may not use IPv6. See the topic The issue "Your browser is avoiding IPv6." for more information.

After the experimental period and when Eddie 2.14 is released as stable, we will upgrade every VPN server (where possible, since some of our ISPs don't have IPv6 infrastructure) to be based on Castor server-side software.

Please talk in this thread only about Castor issues, Config Generator or Eddie related to IPv6. Rely on Eddie 2.14beta topic for other issues related to Eddie
Click to expand...

A new experimental version of the Eddie client (version 2.14 beta) has also been released to support IPv6 and the new experimental IPv6 server (Castor).. (Note: Eddie 2.14 beta has many improvements and not all are related to IPv6.)
Eddie 2.14beta released (Announcement and Feedback)

Hello!

We're very glad to inform you that a new Eddie Air client version has been released: 2.14beta. It is ready for public beta testing.

To download Eddie 2.14beta please select "Other versions" > "Experimental" from the download page.

Please see the changelog:
https://eddie.website/changelog/?software=client&format=html

--------------------------
This version is released in combo with a new server called Castor (Belgium) that supports IPv6, tls-crypt modes and other features.
For more information about the IPv6 experimental phase, read the thread IPv6 support - Experimental phase

Note: please make sure you don't have IPv6 disabled on your OS before the tests (at OS level or at network adapter level). Improved notification will be implemented in the next release.

Please talk in this thread only about Eddie 2.14beta NOT related to IPv6 or tls-crypt support. Rely on IPv6 support - Experimental phase for issues related to Castor.

--------------------------

Eddie is free and open source software released under GPLv3. GitHub repository https://github.com/AirVPN/airvpn-client

Do not hesitate to write in this thread if you decide to test Eddie 2.14beta and you find some glitch or bug.

Kind regards & datalove

puff-m-d · Jun 15, 2018

Hello,

IPv6 support and new smart features (Announcement and Discussion)

Hello!

We're very glad to inform that full IPv6 support is being deployed to our VPN servers. The experimental phase ended during the first half of June and we can now reliably deploy IPv6 to any other VPN server, provided that it is in a datacenter with IPv6 infrastructure of course. This thread will be periodically updated to provide the list of VPN servers new generation setup (internally, we call this new setup "Gen 2").

New smart features:

Standard protocols/ports with IPv6 support, updated OpenVPN server, better cipher negotiation You can keep using AirVPN as usual, even if you have an old OpenVPN version, with IPv6 support addition.

Additional protocols/ports with IPv6 support, updated OpenVPN server, better cipher negotiation, 'tls-crypt' support, TLS 1.2 forced. The additional protocols/ports mentioned in this paragraph require OpenVPN 2.4 or higher versions

tls-crypt plays a role even against ISPs that throttle or block OpenVPN.

Something more about tls-crypt can be found here: https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/Openvpn24ManPage

Search for "--tls-crypt keyfile"

Planning the future: internal load balancing between multiple OpenVPN daemons.

This is a feature which will let OpenVPN squeeze the maximum bandwidth on each server, because OpenVPN runs in a single thread of a single core. By balancing the load on multiple OpenVPN daemons with a reliable algorithm, we overcome significantly this OpenVPN limitation.

Such bandwidth would be mostly wasted without our load balancing method simply because there are no CPUs capable to process 10 Gbit/s AES-256 encryption/decryption on multiple flows to/from multiple channels (according to our empirical tests on the field, the load does not grow linearly with the growth of connected OpenVPN clients) with just one one core.

Our solution is important because it's a founding prerequisite toward servers connected to 10 Gbit/s lines, even if OpenVPN multicore / multi-threading support should not become available in the near future, not to mention that it can be useful even in different environments.

The internal load balancing is already active on all "Gen 2" servers.

Kind regards and datalove

Hello,

This has not been mentioned in this thread, but AirVPN released an Android client back on 28 September 2018.
Eddie Android edition 1.0 released

Hello!

We are very glad to inform you that Eddie 1.0 for Android systems has been released.
Eddie Android edition is a free and open source OpenVPN 3 GUI released under GPLv3. Source code is available here: https://gitlab.com/AirVPN/EddieAndroid
Main features:

Free and open source application based on OpenVPN 3

Only official application by AirVPN

Robust, best effort prevention of traffic leaks outside the VPN tunnel

Battery-conscious application

Low RAM footprint

Option to start and connect the application at device boot

Option to define which apps must have traffic inside or outside the VPN tunnel through white and black list

OpenVPN linked against mbedTLS library

Android 5.1 or higher required

fully localized (current available languages: English, French, Italian, Spanish, Turkish)

The traffic leak prevention has proved to be stronger than the one implemented in OVPN for Android. A thorough OpenVPN error detection allows Eddie to "lock" the network in case of unrecoverable disconnection (for example when communications to the VPN server get broken).

Direct link to the Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.airvpn.eddie
Direct link to download Eddie Android edition from our Eddie web site: https://eddie.website/repository/eddie/android/1.0/org.airvpn.eddie.apk
A quick tutorial is available here: https://airvpn.org/topic/29660-using-airvpn-with-eddie-client-for-android/
The APK will soon be available in F-Droid repository too.
This is a starting point: development of a new version which includes stricter AirVPN integration is already ongoing and we are confident to provide you with updates in a very near future.

Eddie Android edition 2.0 released

Hello!

We're glad to inform you that we have released Eddie Android edition 2.0.
Version 2.0 is a quantum leap when compared to 1.0. It tries to meet most, if not all, of our community requirements and keeps the promises we made: swift and full AirVPN integration as well as Android TV extended compatibility.
As usual Eddie is free and open source software released under GPLv3. Source code is available on GitLab: https://gitlab.com/AirVPN
You can download Eddie from the Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.airvpn.eddie
You can download Eddie Android 2.0 apk directly from our repository as well: https://eddie.website/repository/eddie/android/2.0/org.airvpn.eddie.apk
We are also working to make Eddie 2.0 available on the Amazon Appstore.
