AirVPN Review

Protocols: OpenVPN, Wireguard

Service: AirVPN provides OpenVPN with 200+ high performance servers in 20 countries (inc. US, UK, Europe & Asia) with no traffic, time or speed limits.

Anonymity is an absolute priority of AirVPN and it was created and maintained by activists who strongly support Net Neutrality and privacy. IPs are shared and every protocol is welcome, including P2P across their entire network.

AirVPN allows you to do remote port forwarding enhancing the performance of applications like BitTorrent, eMule, and other P2P clients.

They’ve done a top-notch job supporting a wide array of platforms and providing clear and detailed instructions. Supported platforms and configs are Windows, OSX, Linux, Android, IOS (iPhone, iPad, and iPod), DD-WRT, Tomato, AsusWRT, pfSense, TOR, and SSH and SSL Tunnels.

AirVPN is also one of the few VPN providers to pull off a smooth and full-fledged Linux client, which is great to see.

If using an Ubuntu distro, see this post for some installation tips.

AirVPN allows customers to access a number of popular geo-restricted services from any server in the world, for example to watch BBC and use BBC iPlayer without having to connect to their UK servers, or access Hulu without having to connect to their USA servers etc.

Every server includes native support of OpenVPN over SSH to finally give full VPN access to customers and users from China and Iran and to bypass OpenVPN traffic shaping performed by some (very rare) Western ISPs. (Fully and successfully tested from Beijing , Shangai and Tehran residential ISPs.)

AirVPN allows up to 5 simultaneous connections (on different servers) per account! Also includes a “killswitch” feature called Network Lock.

AirVPN accepts multiple payment options:-

Paypal, Stripe (Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, etc) and Amazon pay. Also cryptocurrencies:- Bitcoin, Litecoin, Bitcoin cash, Doge and Monero.

Recent major backend system upgrade, which included general hardening of security and anonymity, additional Heartbleed-type vulnerability protections, enhanced cryptography, added TLS-auth layer, etc.

All servers are based on RAM disks for additional security. They perform a minimal boot to bring up the TCP/IP stack, the network and a few essential related services, and then they download all the vital files and keys via network.

IPMI and similar interfaces are never exposed to the Internet for additional security. They are accessible only through a private network.

In addition AirVPN now provides:-

• • WireGuard support
  • DoH and DoT
  • opt-in block lists to stop ads, trackers etc., with powerful flexibility, including options to combine lists and enter customized exceptions and/or additional blocks with wildcard support
  • new 10 Gbit/s dedicated lines and servers in Swiss, Sweden and Texas (USA)
  • new 10 Gbit/s dedicated lines and servers in Bulgaria and the Netherlands
  • rewritten port forwarding system now allows to reserve specific inbound ports to specific devices
  • rewritten DDNS system now allows name resolution for specific devices. Therefore it is now possible to have multiple domain names which resolve correctly for each connected device (previously you could have 1 DDNS based name, now you can have a maximum of 20)

Fully compliant with the European Union directives which protect your privacy.

Our Thoughts: AirVPN provides an excellent service with great speeds across a wide network. Their privacy policy is one of the strongest and most transparent and they are one of the few VPN Service providers who accept various cryptocurrencies. The client software is both excellent and very easy to use, connections rarely drop and speeds are very fast.
