Anyone here used AirVPN? I was looking around Reddit to find out which VPNs people trust and came across some talks about AirVPN. I think it’s a good choice for privacy and security based on what I know, but I’d like to hear your real-life experiences. I’ve read that it can get around geo-blocks and has good encryption, which are the two main things that worry me. But how does it do when it comes to speed and streaming?
It is never a good idea to ban a vital long-time Linux user. Even more so if your business isn’t in the top ten. AirVPN wants to be the best, but their apps have so many options and settings that it’s hard to find what you need. While it works on Linux, it’s not always stable, and on my gigabit fiber link, it often has very slow speeds. It also hangs when you wake it up from sleep or hibernation, which is not good. Google and many other websites warn you a lot and make you do captchas when you connect to their Dutch computers. “Do not use Google,” says AirVPN. Well… The good news is that I can now use NordVPN, which is 10 times faster, has a solid 1000Mbps speed, and works fine on Linux. Giving AirVPN 3/5 stars for their product and 1/5 stars for their customer service.
This is an alternative to Nord that I’ve tried. With Nord, I can get almost endless speeds on Usenet, but with AirVPN, I can only get about half that speed. Could someone explain why this might be?
