AirVPN review
AirVPN is a VPN built on OpenVPN and WireGuard, run by AirVPN di Paolo Brini in Perugia, Italy. Opening an account asks for no personal data, not even a real email address. Every server also accepts OpenVPN over SSH, SSL or Tor, which helps on networks that block plain VPN traffic. If dissatisfied, customers can request a full refund within 30 business days of their payment. The catch: residents of Italy may not use the service. In our view, AirVPN suits technical users who want a VPN account without personal details.
ID rule not stated
AirVPN's own pages do not give one answer on when it asks for ID.

kycnot.me is an independent directory of services you can use without ID checks. The rating and notes below are its own, not ours.
The terms do not mention ID checks, now or later. That is not a promise that there will never be one. kycnot.me sorts services into five levels, from 0 (never asks for ID) to 4 (ID is mandatory).

Community
On Reddit's r/AirVPN, read on November 10, 2026, we looked at four top threads of the past year about AirVPN. Long-time users praised static port forwarding, the privacy stance, fair pricing during sales and generally good speeds, often using WireGuard configs instead of the official client. Complaints covered the dated Eddie client, a small server network in some regions, blocked streaming, and a period of slow speeds that support addressed by suggesting higher capacity servers. Overall sentiment was mostly positive, especially among homelab and torrent users.
