I've been looking at replacing my current VPN provider. AirVPN was one of three I was seriously looking at but have some questions. 1. AirVPN represents that all it's servers are in the cities they represent (no virtual servers). This is clearly not the case and has been brought up in their forum with no response from staff. https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/497...rlin-air-servers/?tab=comments#comment-168804 Does this in your opinion affect their trustworthiness? 2. AirVPN is located in Italy yet has no servers there. Anyone know why?
1. yes, it does. 2. see this thread for the answer to your question. 3. i recommend ivpn and mullvad.
Thanks, I had not seen that thread. My next choices were Mullvad and OVPN. IVPN looks good to me also but there were two other cheaper options that will work for me. I just want to keep my ISP out of my business / surveillance capitalism mitigation. No torrenting or streaming needs for me.
Given the choice between those three, I'd pick Mullvad. I like AirVPN, and yes they are cheaper. But they are very slow to progress; they are just now entering a beta phase for Wireguard. Eddie, the AirVPN client software, look and feels out-of-date. I currently have a subscription to AirVPN and it is good. But Mullvad is just better in every way. One of the pros to Mullvad that no one seems to mention is the ability to tie the VPN to the tap/tun via socks5; meaning that any software configured to use 10.8.0.1:100 (OpenVPN) or 10.64.0.1:1080 (Wireguard) cannot communicate unless the VPN is up and working. Very few VPNs offer this safety-net.
