About AirVPN
AirVPN is a privacy-centric virtual private network operated by activists, built on OpenVPN and WireGuard. It emphasizes net neutrality, anti-censorship, and user privacy with a strict no-logging stance and strong cryptography, offering protection against ISP, government, and third‑party surveillance. Users can hide their IP address, secure Wi‑Fi connections, and make their traffic type indistinguishable to network observers. The service provides features tailored for resilience and performance, including OpenVPN over SSH/SSL/Tor for censorship circumvention, internal VPN DNS, port forwarding and DDNS, optional block lists for ads/trackers/malware, unlimited server switches, and five simultaneous connections per account. AirVPN publishes open-source client software (GPLv3) for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android, with source code available on GitHub and GitLab. Pricing is in euros with multiple subscription durations.
