https://airvpn.org/feed/forums/ForumsenHey! I just switched to airvpn today and I'm having trouble connecting one of the machines on my network to the VPN. On Debian, it works just fine, but on Windows 10, it just keeps getting stuck on "Connecting" and then gives up. Does anyone know what could be causing this? This appears to happen with any server.Sat, 16 May 2026 12:04:45 +0000Fri, 15 May 2026 22:01:32 +0000Hello, unfortunately the Caelum Server (Austria) went down today, so I have to use either Alderamin or Beemim. But with those two I have the frequent problem that websites are unreachable because of timeouts. This problem though only exists within AirVPN usage, the website itself is fine and reachable via my WAN route or other VPNs. I use AirVPN via WireGuard through my OpenWRT router. Just to be clear: the tunnel itself is fine, this also happened with multiple devices (this is the third OpenWRT router I use for this). This happens randomly, other websites are normally reachable and keep doing so, but a specific website not. The problem persists with this website for some time (usually a couple of days) , after this time passes it's somehow working. No changes made. I tried to comprehend the issue, but it's extremely difficult to troubleshoot. It seems like it's a combination of a DNS and route problem within AirVPN, but this is just a guess of mine. Very strict firewall rules on the OpenWRT router (no LAN to WAN forwarding, default route via VPN, strict no-leak setup) seem to make things worse, but I could not isolate this. Nowadays I use a less strict policy-routing setup. But this issue is very annoying. Together with more and more sites/services which block VPNs altogether, this problem makes AirVPN barely usable for me. I need a working server in Austria, and Alderamin/Beemim are not working so well for me. I tried searching for this problem, but did not find anything useful. Anything helpful would be appreciated. Edit: checking AirVPNs route tool, seems this time the site is not reachable from any server. So probably blocked. Maybe I jumped the gun too fast here, since the pattern was exactly the same as before. So take my description above with a grain of salt. Current example sites: jump25.at and kinder-guide.atFri, 15 May 2026 18:30:04 +0000Hello, It appears that someone may be spamming or attempting to hack into X.com or instagram through AirVPN, since my accounts were recently suspended or labeled for supposedly malicious behavior. Today, one minute, I'm just reading x.com, the next minute I'm getting labeled, likely due to someone else misusing the VPN server. Can those people stop that, or can the Admins figure out who is doing this and resolve this issue? I like using this VPN, but it's unfortunate that others are causing this response from websites. Thanks.Wed, 13 May 2026 17:31:50 +0000I've opened ports here on AirVPN, the same ports are opened in my firewall on my server. Still I can't get HighID on aMule. The port tester shows the first, TCP, port as open while getting stuck on the two UDP-ports. And I have ports opened for Transmission and SLSKD which which shows as open. So I would assume it is a problem with UDP-ports here on AirVPN. Or am I completely wrong?Wed, 13 May 2026 16:31:12 +0000When I generate a wireguard configuration and then import the file with networkmanager, I encountered this error To fix this I had to rename the generated configurations files to a shorter name and without special characters. The error message isn't very clear, but something about those file names is invalid for wireguard imports. Once renamed, you can import the config I just saw that you have the solution here: https://airvpn.org/linux/wireguard/terminal/Wed, 13 May 2026 15:11:13 +0000Hello, I'm curious what causes the brief 1-2 periods of packet loss in the 4 Los Angeles servers. It seems like half of the "issues history" page is just these 4 servers. I have my config set to Los Angeles and Fremont, and it almost always inevitably ends up stable on the Fremont server due to the LA health check problems.Tue, 12 May 2026 03:36:58 +0000Fri, 08 May 2026 09:06:59 +0000Hi Wireguard client isn't working on Android; I had to disconnect the VPN to browse the web. 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? Since the default.profile file is encrypted, copying it from another machine wont work.Fri, 01 May 2026 17:44:08 +0000I tried many script found in this forum, but seems all not work for me 1. I connected to a random server by using AirVPN UI 2. Start the "ROTATING Script" 3. I use what is my IP to check my public IP, every 24 hours, no change. Anything I did wrong ? 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? Some one uses it in China? I want to use a VPN for long terms and don't expect it is blocked.Tue, 28 Apr 2026 14:41:46 +0000Why do AirVPN DNS servers hate the website usps.com so much? 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 +0000
