Root error on Linux Debian 11 / Auto-connect at startup after wifi connection #52

Closed samychkeit closed 2 years ago

samychkeit commented 2 years ago

Hello,

I installed ProtonVPN on Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) 64 bits with Gnome 3.38.5, and i cannot run the command to connect to the fastest secure core server "protonvpn-cli c --sc" in root - which is problematic to create a systemd service to automatically connect at startup when connected to wifi.

He sends me back when I try :

protonvpn-cli c --sc

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Could you explain to me what is going on, and how to configure proton so that it connects automatically after the wifi connection is stable?

I thank you in advance,

SR

@samhrvrdx you're not supposed to run as root.

samychkeit commented 2 years ago

Indeed, thank you for your reply.

For those who would like ProtonVPN to connect when Debian / Ubuntu starts, you simply have to configure Network manager by importing the configuration files of the desired servers, entering the connection identifiers, then in the advanced configuration (nm-connection-editor) by configuring each network connection so that it connects automatically at the same time as the favorite VPN server (General tab, automatically connect to VPN).

Check out my comment on https://github.com/ProtonVPN/linux-app/issues/4#issuecomment-953313052. It is a service in user space, which works just fine.
