AirVPN

About AirVPN

AirVPN is a long-running service run by an Italian operator with deep technical roots — a project built, in its own framing, by activists for activists. That heritage shows in the feature set: you can bring your own OpenVPN configuration files rather than being locked into a proprietary app, and port forwarding is available on every server, which is unusual and appeals to users who self-host, seed or run services behind the tunnel. It carries a Scout Score of 82, with a strong privacy sub-score of 91.

The jurisdiction reality is worth being clear about. AirVPN operates from Italy (IT), which we grade as Tier 3. Italy is an EU member state subject to European data-retention and law-enforcement cooperation frameworks, so the location is not a marketing-friendly "offshore" haven — it's a mainstream European jurisdiction, and users should weigh that against their own threat model.

On the documents: AirVPN states a no-logs policy and provides a kill switch. However, that no-logs claim has not been subject to an independent third-party audit, so on the verification front it remains unverified — we can report the stated policy, not confirm it. The money-back window is short at just 3 days, which leaves little room to trial the service before committing.

Pricing, taken directly from the verified plans, runs from a 1-Month plan at $7.00/mo (billed $7.00) up to a 3-Year plan at $2.75/mo intro (billed $99.00). In between sit the 2-Year at $3.29/mo (billed $79.00), 1-Year at $4.08/mo (billed $49.00), 6-Month at $4.83/mo (billed $29.00) and 3-Month at $5.00/mo (billed $15.00). Renewal pricing is undisclosed across every tier, so budget accordingly.

We do not run a lab, so this profile makes no speed or performance claims of our own — for how the Scout Score is composed, see our methodology. AirVPN fits technically confident users who want port forwarding, custom configs and manual control. Skip it if you need an audited no-logs guarantee, a generous refund window, or a jurisdiction outside the EU.
