I changed the tunnel, but it still didn't work. I installed Eddie, but that doesn't work either. I have to have VPN off. Any ideas?Fri, 08 May 2026 06:04:22 +0000INFO [dns] downloading hostnames and IP block lists The step above is taking too long on USA servers, and it is dismantling my docker compose depedency and the container won't start.

At first I thought this was maybe the service being down but it appears to be a deeper issue. I've used AirVPN for a number of months, but suddenly as of yesterday I can't access most of the internet with it on due to DNS resolution failing. For some reason, I can usually still access this website, even though running "resolvectl query airvpn.org" returns nothing. Other websites time out or fail immediately. If I run "resolvectl monitor", I can see timeouts, maximum attempts reached, and refused connections. I use systemd-resolved on Linux as a DNS resolver and haven't changed anything about my config recently; it hasn't updated recently either. For my config I use the client generator and copy the config file to /etc/wireguard/, because I could not get the AirVPN suite to work when I tried it ages ago. Here is my config: [Interface] Address = 10.129.110.36/32,fd7d:76ee:e68f:a993:1d7b:7f05:c3fe:9ea5/128 PrivateKey = [REDACTED] MTU = 1320 DNS = 10.128.0.1, fd7d:76ee:e68f:a993::1 [Peer] PublicKey = [REDACTED] PresharedKey = [REDACTED] Endpoint = america3.vpn.airdns.org:1637 AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0,::/0 PersistentKeepalive = 15Wed, 06 May 2026 17:25:31 +0000So for years I have used Eddie to download with AirVPN, and it's been great. I also use VNC to access my server, normally I just open the ports on my router for VNC so it can connect without being tunnelled through AirVPN. My downloading needs to go through AirVPN, so I only ever opened ports for my bit torrent via the ports page specifically for AirVPN. This has worked for ages, but now I cant connect to VNC whilst Eddie is connected to a VPN server, it seems that everything is being tunnelled through Eddie I think this is called socks 5 ?, but I would like VNC to *not* go through the VPN. How do I do this again ? Thanks Ump.Wed, 06 May 2026 13:44:42 +0000Hello, I had a functioniong Gluetun setup, but it seems I can no longer functionally connect to the Server Achenar. I assume something is wrong with that server, somehow. I did not change anything on my side of the set up. Can any one of you confirm or deny? Thank you.Tue, 05 May 2026 16:21:35 +0000Hello, Ive been using AirVPN for about a year now, but recently all servers have had extremely high latency and very low speeds, before I was capable of atleast 50mb or so now Im lucky to get into triple digits of kbits, Ive tried reinstalling and updating nothing worked.Mon, 04 May 2026 22:44:50 +0000Is this a planned maintenance or something? I've got multiple paid accounts and am using 15 sessions on a variety of different VPNs. Over half of them have abruptly gone out at some point today.Mon, 04 May 2026 19:59:00 +0000I have recently been able to add IPv6 to my LAN (but ULA only to avoid IPv6 leaks) and add a port forward in my OpenWrt router that acts as a Wireguard client for a Windows qBittorrent client in my Ethernet LAN. Everything seems to work fine and I've been able to reach the "Top User Speed" a few times while seeding to around 800 peers. But the one thing that annoys me is that IPv6 traffic appears way too low compared to IPv4, usually between 5 to 10 % (90 % or more for IPv4). I have tried some online speed tests that can do both IPv4 and IPv6 and I saw no huge difference between the two. Then I tried to select IPv6 only in qBittorrent and restarted it. After a few minutes, I got only 80 peers (instead of 800; look at the graph). The AirVPN, forwarded ports, test open, confirms that both IPv4 and IPv6 port I selected for torrents are "Open!". I can't believe that only 5% of torrent users have IPv6 so there must be a problem in my installation. For those who use a computer as a seed-box with both IPv4 and IPv6, how many peers do you see connected in IPv6 (compared to IPv4) ?Mon, 04 May 2026 08:41:23 +0000Hi there, I'm trying to get Eddie to run on a headless server. Instead of running -user=xx -pass=yy in the terminal, I'd like to get the profile to remember user/pass. However, this seems impossible: https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/79263-eddie-cli-remember-not-remembering/?tab=comments#comment-261130 Did anyone find a workaround for this situation?

How to make my AprVPN rotating server every 15 mins ? Please help !Thu, 30 Apr 2026 03:41:55 +0000I have a Unifi Dream Machine SE (UDM-SE), configured AirVPN with wireguard client inside of it. I am trying to force all traffic inbound/outbound of my qBittorent lxc through the wireguard client. I can download torrents just fine, but I am unable to seed and upload for anyone which is killing my tracker ratio. On the UDM-SE I have LAN-In firewall rule to allow anything from my AirVPN going to my qBittorrent, I have a DNAT from any traffic on the specific AirVPN port to be translated to the qBittorrent IP, I have a policy based route taking any traffic from my qbittorrent and sending through the wireguard client. I have qbittorrent listening on the forwarded port. I'm at a loss as to "Test Open" is failing for the forwarded port I have. I'd greatly appreciate a look over from anyoneWed, 29 Apr 2026 18:26:19 +0000I'm in Iran. The only way I am able to connect to internet is through a socks5 proxy, though it's still censored. I wonder if AirVPN supports using a upstream socks5 proxy? The only other option is TOR, but I can't use it for many things, like downloading torrents.Wed, 29 Apr 2026 07:43:13 +0000ignore the green block, that's my addition to the screenshotWed, 29 Apr 2026 00:01:54 +0000In China, Airvpn can works well?

At first, I couldn’t figure out why I could load usps.com on my FreeBSD machine but not on my Android smartphone. Then I realized that, on FreeBSD, the DNS fallback mechanism configured in /etc/resolv.conf was causing a DNS leak: usps.com would load in Chromium because my ISP’s DNS servers were being used. I had to make sure that resolv.conf was automatically configured to use AirVPN DNS first and, from now on, to fall back to Cloudflare DNS or Google DNS instead of my ISP’s DNS. But I’m curious: why can’t AirVPN DNS resolve usps.com?Mon, 27 Apr 2026 17:14:00 +0000Sun, 26 Apr 2026 06:11:21 +0000Sat, 25 Apr 2026 23:06:22 +0000Hello Guys, I've been an satisfied AirVPN client for over 10 years, this past month I've noticed that the Singapore servers which I mainly use now have a latency that's very poor (I'm in S.E Asia) The Eddie client is showing that Japan is better for Latency so I connect to them. While connecting to a few Singapore nodes I'm also noticing that my 1st, 2nd and 3rd hops are coming out of Romania. vlan12.as06-10g.wco1.sg.m247.ro irb-1906.agg1v.wco1.sg.m247.ro be-2-3111.bb1n.wco1.sg.m247.ro While that would explain the latency issue if I'm actually connecting to Romanian servers but I'm supposed to be using Singapore. Hopefully someone can explain the issue I'm having. ThanksSat, 25 Apr 2026 16:43:01 +0000Hello. I'm new to AirVPN. So I'm trying to set up Airvpn + Qbittorrent and I'm having some troubles. I get a "Connection Refused" error when testing the port. I have opened the port in my firewall (30105) and It's also set in qbittorrent. Network Interface is also set to airvpn.

Is so, which settings are recommended? I'm using WG configs with Wiresock because Eddie drastically slows boot-up speeds, often not loading and connected before the wifi disconnects. AmneziaWG supports obfuscation that Eddie does not.Wed, 22 Apr 2026 01:25:54 +0000Hello all, relatively new user here loving the service, but I’ve hit a specific wall regarding IPTV performance. Google TV Streamer 4K (hardwired 1GBps) connected to AirVPN via VPN Fusion on ASUS router (WireGuard/OpenVPN), analiti (speed test) shows speed of 400Mbps with and without VPN enabled. However, the moment I launch a stream, the bitrate collapses to below 100kBps. Without the VPN, the stream sustains 2-3Mbps without issue. Appreciate any help I could get, thanks!Tue, 21 Apr 2026 16:02:11 +0000Currently, AirVPN only has three options for bypassing the block: SSH SSL and AmneziaWG, which is already quite excellent for a VPN provider. However, these options are still insufficient in the face of the ever-evolving GFW and other national firewalls. Perhaps we can outsource the protocol obfuscation part to other proxy providers, while leaving the basic privacy protection part to AirVPN. I have implemented the addition of dedicated proxies from other vendors in Eddie. I set a hybrid proxy port x in the Clash software and set a SOCKS proxy 127.0.0.1:x in Eddie. This way, traffic goes through the proxy first and then is forwarded to the AirVPN server. I can use the obfuscation performance of the proxy protocol to obfuscate AirVPN traffic. This makes a wide variety of obfuscation protocols available, such as Vless, AnyTLS, Hysteria2, Shadowsocks, Trojan, and Vmess. Using a proxy provider combined with a VPN provider allows me to bypass internet censorship smoothly, which is a good idea.Tue, 21 Apr 2026 12:46:11 +0000Helllo everyone, I run a NAS Qnap TS-464-8g. I mainly use it for torrenting and media server. Currently it runs docker image that containes qbittorrent + gluetun with airvpn configuration. It works fine and connected easily, however, I see slow speeds. Since I tried another vpn , the speeds are way better. I chose closes servers to me, which are Latvia and Estonia. Could someone tell me if avg speeds of 2mb/s is what expected with airvpn? I seed quite a lot of torrents, about 30active all the time, and speeds should be way higher since i've seen greated with different provider. Thanks. EDIT: I've added - WIREGUARD_MTU=1280 after I created the thread. with no impact to speeds. still avg 2mb/s upload. EDIT2: While docker exec'd into gluetun container, and running flat downloadi get 300-350 (40mb/s) mbps speeds EDIT3: I've noticed that just after starting the container with qbit+gluetun+airvpn(wireguard) i see my torrents uploading at 10mb/s, which would indicate the speeds can be higher, but after a minute, the speed drops to 2mb/s services: # ===================== # VPN # ===================== gluetun: image: qmcgaw/gluetun:latest container_name: gluetun cap_add: - NET_ADMIN devices: - /dev/net/tun:/dev/net/tun ports: - 8081:8081 # qBittorrent WebUI - 6881:6881 - 6881:6881/udp volumes: - /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/Container/gluetun/config:/config - /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/Container/gluetun:/gluetun environment: - VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=airvpn - VPN_TYPE=wireguard - TZ=redacted - WIREGUARD_PRIVATE_KEY=redacted - WIREGUARD_PRESHARED_KEY=redacted - WIREGUARD_ADDRESSES=redacted - WIREGUARD_MTU=1280 - SERVER_COUNTRIES=Latvia,Estonia - FIREWALL_VPN_INPUT_PORTS=3228 - LOGLEVEL=debug - LOCAL_NETWORK=192.168.0.0/24 - FIREWALL_INPUT_PORTS=8081 - PUID=0 - PGID=0 networks: - proxy restart: unless-stopped # ===================== # QBITTORRENT # ===================== qbittorrent: image: lscr.io/linuxserver/qbittorrent:latest container_name: qbittorrent network_mode: "service:gluetun" depends_on: gluetun: condition: service_healthy restart: true environment: - PUID=0 - PGID=0 - TZ=redacted - WEBUI_PORT=8081 volumes: - /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/'redacted'/qbittorrent:/config - /share/CACHEDEV2_DATA/'redacted':/downloads - /share/CACHEDEV3_DATA/'redacted':/downloads2 - /share/CACHEDEV4_DATA/'redacted':/downloads3 restart: unless-stopped networks: proxy: external: trueTue, 21 Apr 2026 09:25:53 +0000
