Air VPN Arvostelua 63

When I first got AirVPN it was fast.

Now it's often so slow, it's simply not fit for purpose.

Websites hang for ages before eventually loading. Downloading is incredibly slow a lot of the time. Sometimes it's fast. It's very random. There is no continuity of service.

One minute the speeds fast, the next minute it's one tenth of what it was.

Literally turning the VPN off on the Eddie client, results in an immediate speed increase to my full ISP paid for speed, so I'm certain it's not my connection. Even changing different protocols in case it was my ISP throttling the VPN addresses, this achieved nothing.

So I bought access to another VPN provider, and I can confirm it's fast, so I know for sure it's AirVPN causing the slow speed.

There was a big noticeable drop on speed after the Christmas period. It's clear to me that their Black Friday deals have drastically over subscribed their VPN server usage. My membership is not even finished, but I felt compelled to buy a membership to another VPN provider.

While researching VPN providers that offer dedicated IP addresses I stumbled upon a review comparing AirVPN with another provider. I was curious about the relative "unbiased" group perception of both providers (which as it turns out are very similar). I was staggered to see all the negative reviews for AirVPN on trustpilot and so felt I had to add my own experience.

I have been using AirVPN for several years (I've lost count but it's more than 10). I had some trouble initially but mainly this was due to me being new to VPN setup. On the whole (once I got it going) it's been very reliable and fast. Once in a blue moon there is a problem with a VPN server but this soon gets fixed. If you can't wait then it's trivial to switch to a different (working) server. In the early days I used to see server problems about twice a month on average. I had one a couple of days ago and before that I haven't seen one this year! To be fair most of the faults are hardware related (sometimes line connections to the internet) but who hasn't had the odd BT fault and you can't blame those on AirVPN.

I've tried a few other VPN's and always come back to AirVPN. They are honest and provide a secure service unlike some others out there. If you're going to write a bad review about them then you should compare them to some of the real cowboys out there first.

One last thought: if you don't have any computer or network experience then don't blame someone else for your ignorance. Look for help and you'll find it. If someone gifts you a Ferrari are you really going to refuse it because you don't like the colour.

For torrenting / P2P use. The port forwarding is pretty good and there's perfect integration into Gluetun environment with good download speed. Billing is decent, can choose 3 months subscription at decent price.
But their servers are saturated and can't rely on consistent upload speed. It's overall pretty slow.

Awful experience with their VPN. Started having horrible speeds after a month of use, contacted their support to help me out, which they ended up saying that it was my fault. I told them my speeds are fine without VPN and that if they didn't help me fix my issue, I'd have to ask for a refund. Without a word from them, the very next day I received a refund and cannot access to their website anymore since they banned me. Very immature behaviour.

Seit Jahren Stammkunde, absolut zuverlässig. Der Support ist sehr schnell und die Preisgestaltung optimal. Aus meiner Sicht einer der besten Anbieter im Markt und mal kein US-Unternehmen. Ehrliche und volle Empfehlung

Absolute joke software. Currently dealing with it spamming large popups "70% off sale!" every time my system boots, offering money off the software I already subscribed to. These popups cannot even be ignored, you have to click on them to get rid of them, and there's no way to disable them in future. Posted about this on the support forum and it got deleted. Other support issues remain unaddressed after several weeks. This is simply not serious software. Despite having several months left of a subscription, I have uninstalled and gone back to my previous provider. I can only recommend that you avoid this comedy nonsense

4 stars because there is almost no effort on innovation further than a mere IP protection, no browsing containers or solution that counteract fingerprinting

great service especially for OpenVPN tho, you can go if you look for a decent-speed VPN

Great product for those who love troubleshooting and working out why their VPN stopped working. If you love spending time reading logs and on forums trying to fix flakey software then this is for you!

Then to cap it all off, when you try to find the answers on their pages they block your IP! Don't load too many forum pages, they're counting...

If you actually require a VPN then this one is the best or second-best one around. I've experienced no issues during my time using it.
Skip if you require a 1-click connection.

Works pretty well and have NAT port forwarding. The speeds are maybe not the best, but I got easily 200mbps on multiple servers, both download and upload. Sometimes even 600mbps.

The UI is bad, but for technical people it doesn't matter. And VPN should be used ONLY BY TECHNICAL PEOPLE, because it's not a privacy tool. Never been. For privacy is TOR etc.

But it have really lot configuration options and a lot of apps - you can install it on router with different protocols, various OS, mobile and desktop.

And the prices are really low - 80 euro for 3 years? Sounds really reasonable for me.

I have been using it for 10 years and no problem till date. Inexperienced people may find AirVPN difficult because their software is not that fancy. As for speed I get 250 megabytes with wireguard۔

Banning a critical long time Linux user is never a good idea. Especially if your company is not a top 10 player. AirVPN tries to be the best but seems to get lost in a gazillion possibilities and settings in their apps. It is not 100% stable on Linux and a very inconsistent performer with often very low speeds on my gigabit fiber connection. It also hangs after waking up from sleep or hibernation which is problematic. Google (and many web sites} give very frequent warnings and forces captchas upon you when you connect to their Dutch servers. AirVPN's advice is "don't use Google". Well...

The good news is that I can now use Nordvpn which runs 10 times faster with a solid 1000Mbps performance and runs on Linux without a problem. Awarding AirVPN with 3/5* for their product and 1/5* for they customer service.

very low speed 0.5-14 Mbit/s
APP sucks Eddie not friendly like a dos
servers low speed
slow like tor browser!
7 euros per month is a delusion

very basic vpn they want 7 euro for 1 month the real price need to be 2-3$ , the app eddie unfriendly , Ping high , speed medium , AirVPN based on italy 14 eyes not good for privacy , they dont have double vpn , Condescending attitude in the service , servers with low users its good for captcha but bad for privacy

Been using AIRVpn for 5 years or more now. I don't find any issues at all, speeds are excellent, there is no lag, they respect your privacy, they answer queries within the day. They allow port forwarding, TOR over VPN and everything else you could want.

What more do you need? You could go with a flashy VPN that spends most of your subscription on marketing rather than security or privacy, but that is your choice.

Edit: There are a lot of negative reviews for issues that are fixable or has been fixed. Most don't seem to really understand how a VPN works, or even their computer it seems - if you need someone to hold your hand with a VPN, this may not be the service for you. If you can't google a solution or reach out for help with a support ticket, then I think those kinds of users need to go with the type of VPN that is advertised on podcasts regularly. They spend money on flashy interfaces and advertising, not security or true privacy.

Useless.
You will encounter internet issues when you browse nehind a vpn from airvpn.

Do not buy a subscription.

AirVpn is as the website looks like. Old-fashioned, chaotic and partially working. I used it many years ago when VPNs were not really fashionable. I got an offer to resubscribe and I took it. Eddie, their client on the Mac, is a pain in the neck. If your internet connection falls away, it will try to reconnect, bringing itself to a loop which only can be stopped by forcing the app to quit and restarting it. If you want to search with Google the chances are very high that google simply locks up. So you have to log out and get to Google without the VPN. Visiting Gmail is not a problem, however. There is no iOs client and their workaround is to use Open VPN, only their instructions do not match the current version, and you seldom get it to work. AirVpn might work better on other platforms but it is a pain in the neck on the mac and iPhone. They surely attempt to help you, although the service department might be in need of a few light-hearted people. For myself, I will let the money go and subscribe to a modern VPN with a good cross platform app.

I've been a user for over 2 years at this point. Personally I have no complaints but I can see how some people would (e.g. when technical assistance and hand-holding is wanted). If that's something you'll need - choose another provider. That's my impression.

The servers are very stable, transparency is great. The location selection (countries) is limited due to very strict selection criteria where the legislation must not get in the way of privacy. Wireguard & OpenVPN support. Does not attempt to circumvent streaming services' VPN blocks.

One thing to look out for is the recurring payments if you paid with Paypal. They do not appear on the website, only on Paypal's website. If you want to cancel/choose a different plan, you'll have to go through Paypal first to remove it.

Slow speeds and all kind of errors and issues. My forwarded ports got deleted or changed and sometimes it shows connected but the IP is not changed.
It has a very unstable behavior and the software is complicated and behaves unexpectedly, too.
Pretty cheap but it's too much of a struggle. And the support is non-existent. I will no longer use it and change to something else

Hello world !
this italian vpn services is one of worst services around in internet talking of performance/speed.
they have few 10 GBIT servers yes , but not enought powered to give performance and fast speed to all that ppl connected with theyr servers. they servers all at 1Gbps or just 2Gbps just are low servers quality. Tested 100%
the best score not beaten archivied on theyr server is around 900 mbps using wireguard but in real life the speed of theyr about 200 servers are just ridicolous and not reliable.
they not provide dedicated ip and 10 GBIT dedicated line to theyr customers :-(
you will need to keep yourself in In the queue with fingers crossed to use a acceptable portion of they poors low quality 1Gbps servers line plus shared with others users.
about disconects , yes they are present and frequent much more you may think.
the only real true reason to keep active theyr service with an active subscription are the 20 port fowardable they offer and them at air vpn know this.
so good price 20 ports foward BUT the more important thing the servers speed and performance
just are a secondary thing to not say the last in Theyr priority order of the things.
the only thing you will apreciate in theyr service will be theyr in most case knowledge to the argument you are talking ( i learned of ppl banned or fefunded for just asking ''something'' they don't like ) about but... but... with included a loong very loong wait time to get aswered.
theyr open source windows app is original yes but seem possessed and do the more strange things in your system :-)
at air vpn they will defend everytime the fact theyr servers work and your line have issues istead ...LOL

TO FINISH:
theyr jurisdiction is bad very very bad...
one of worst !!!
italy is know to not be so freedom abou internet t users rights and freedoms .
the whole internet on italy is monitored in some way BY PARANOIC ENTITY and plus at the end they are not able to protect theyr networks from russian hackers attacks :-)

CONCUSION:

if i suggest this vpn services from italy ?

NO
AVOID IT IT HAVE BAD JURISDICTION AND POOR REALLY POOR SERVERS PERFORMANCE.

TO BE SURE GET EXPRESS VPN OR NORD VPN...
AVOID TORGUARD TOO THAT HAVE USA JURISDICION.

UPDATE JULY 2025:

how is airvpn in 2025?

It always has too many negative points and these are the cons why you should avoid it:

1-)
it is still a bad provider...
it is like in 2024:
servers of 20,2,1 GBIT all of low quality...
they have servers that are not constant in terms of performance.

2-)

their support:
it goes in fits and starts, you open the ticket they answer you
if they are not interested or like how the discussion evolves
right they stop answering...
