AirVPN The European alternative to NordVPN

AirVPN is a VPN service from Italy that has existed since 2010 and is run by an independent single operator based in Perugia. Users route their internet traffic through encrypted servers to hide their IP address and secure connections. The service supports OpenVPN and WireGuard, offers its own client called Eddie and emphasizes technical transparency. It appeals to users who prefer a small, independent provider over a large corporation.

AirVPN operates a VPN server network in several countries, while the operator itself is based in Italy and subject to Italian and European law. Its legal form is an Italian sole proprietorship with a VAT ID and an entry in the REA register in Perugia. By its own account, AirVPN keeps no activity logs of users. Because VPN servers are located in various countries, the location used depends on the chosen server.

AirVPN supports OpenVPN, including disguised over SSH, SSL or the Tor network, as well as WireGuard over multiple entry ports. Its own client Eddie is available for Windows, macOS, Linux and Android and is open source. For payment, in addition to common methods, cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Litecoin and Monero are accepted directly. Features such as port forwarding and real-time server monitoring are part of the offering.
