Comments
AirVPN is built by activists, not corporations — OpenVPN + WireGuard, Tor access, and zero compromise on privacy. A true defender of net neutrality. ☁️🛡️
They a good reputable vpn service. Tried there service and requested a refund and they sent it in like 2 days. I just got a question on some of the terms of service which doesn't make sense imo. Like the resident for italy, there's a reason for that:https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/57256-termination-of-service-in-italy/.
In 2015, a server was seized by Toronto police. They did really poorly inform the customers and did not announce this information for a long time. Lack of transparency is a killer. Can't trust this service and owners anymore. They also removed their thread from forum, but it's still available on Internet Archive https://web.archive.org/web/20240326121910/https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/56817-court-order-seizing-the-server/
Even though true, no data was recovered from that server and they apologized that they didn't announced sooner due to not disturbing the investigation they said. 🤷♂️
Great service, and support port forwarding
