# AirVPN > VPN service with Eddie, its open-source client for desktop and Android AirVPN is a VPN service whose own client, Eddie, is free and open source under GPLv3. Eddie runs on Windows, macOS, Linux and Android, connects over WireGuard, Amnezia WireGuard or OpenVPN, and adds a network lock, tunnels over SSH or SSL and Tor integration for getting past censorship. - **Category:** VPNs - **Made by:** AirVPN - **Website:** https://airvpn.org - **Runs on:** macOS, Windows, Linux, Android - **Facts last checked:** Oct 17, 2026 ## Pricing AirVPN's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site. ## Key features - **Eddie client:** AirVPN's own open-source app for Windows, macOS, Linux (several distributions and Raspberry Pi) and Android, with a command-line edition. - **WireGuard, Amnezia WireGuard and OpenVPN:** The Android app supports all three, with 34 ready-made Amnezia WireGuard presets for networks that block VPN traffic. - **Censorship workarounds:** Eddie can run the tunnel over SSH or SSL and integrate with Tor, and retries with other protocols and servers when OpenVPN is blocked. - **Network lock:** Blocks traffic outside the tunnel to prevent leaks, with advanced settings for DNS, routing and actions triggered by events. - **Per-app routing on Android:** Allow and block lists decide which apps use the tunnel. The Android app also works on Android TV with a remote's D-pad. - **Works with other providers:** Eddie can import WireGuard or OpenVPN profiles from other VPN services, or drop AirVPN altogether. ## Good for - Technical users who want full control over OpenVPN and WireGuard settings - People on networks that block VPNs who need SSH, SSL or Tor tunnels - Linux and Android TV users who want an official client ## Worth knowing - Prices could not be confirmed: airvpn.org answered every automated reader with a JavaScript check when this was written. - Eddie's download page lists Windows, macOS, Linux and Android; there is no iOS edition of Eddie. - Tunneling over SSH or SSL needs the AirVPN service; other Eddie features work with any OpenVPN or WireGuard provider. - Eddie gives advanced controls such as custom OpenVPN directives and routes, which suit experienced users more than beginners. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 1.8 out of 4**, graded Oct 17, 2026. AirVPN is for people who like to tinker. Its open-source Eddie app does WireGuard, OpenVPN, tunnels over SSH or SSL and Tor, which helps on networks that block VPNs. We couldn't read its prices, though, as its site turned our reader away, and there's no iPhone app. - **Value for money: C.** No price on record: airvpn.org answered our reader with a JavaScript check, so the plans couldn't be read. With nothing published to compare, it sits at C, the grade for no stated price. - **Free plan and trial: F.** Nothing free on record. The Eddie app is free and open source, but it's only the client: the AirVPN service behind it is paid, and no free plan or trial is listed. - **Features: C.** WireGuard, Amnezia WireGuard and OpenVPN, a network lock, SSH, SSL and Tor tunnels, and per-app routing on Android, so getting past blocks is well covered. But the listing has nothing on its servers, device limit or ad blocking. - **Ease of use: C.** No App Store rating on record, and Eddie's custom OpenVPN directives and routing rules suit experienced users more than beginners, so expect a learning curve. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and Android TV, and it works with Tor. But there's no iPhone edition of Eddie and no API on record, so it stops at B. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from AirVPN's own pages on 17 October 2026. airvpn.org turned our reader away again that day, so its prices are not on record. Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews. ## Where it stands among VPNs - AirVPN's GPA of 1.8 is higher than 1 of the 16 other VPNs we grade, and level with 1. - It stands best on platforms and integrations (B, above 0 of 16) and worst on free plan and trial (F, above 0).

That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 14 of the 16 other VPNs grade higher. AirVPN is open source, so there is a third way: take its code and run it yourself. - You could not: Servers in dozens of countries, kept fast and private. - You could not: Apps for macOS, Windows, Linux and Android that stay in step with each other.
