Hi @Tanzeel159,

This extension uses openvpn under the shell to connect to different VPN profiles. Can you check if openvpn is installed on your system? (Check if any of the two commands return a response)

ls /usr/bin/openvpn
ls /bin/openvpn

The extension also uses wget and unzip, so it would be wise to check/install them as well.

If these dependencies are installed and available for use, please provide the logs for uLauncher - it is usually ~/.local/share/ulauncher/last.log file. The log file may provide more details on the error that the extension is running into.

Also, which OS are you using?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVfnyvUEmYA I followed this tutorial for openvpn installation

using the above commands i get no such file or directory openvpn is installed in 'etc' folder I am using zorin OS last.log

That looks to be the issue. The extension is currently not looking into 'etc' folder for openvpn and thinks that it is not installed. Thanks for bringing it to my notice. I will update the extension to add 'etc' in paths to look for openvpn.

On the side note, the extension performs the same steps to connect to Surfshark VPN as mentioned in the video.

Oh cool looking forward to it That's awesome . this extension will make it easier to connect to different servers quickly .

The issue has been fixed and tested on Zorin OS (should work on all Ubuntu based destros). Please update the extension on uLauncher to get the changes. Let me know if you still face the issue.
