I am trying to follow this guide:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Qubes/comments/6h4ue2/guide_setting_up_a_vpn_with_mullvad_on_qubes/
But I am not using mullvad, I am using Nordvpn. But I've been told this guide should be compatible.
I am on the secound part of stage 3:
-
Start your VPN-Proxy-VM and run:
sudo mkdir /rw/config/vpn
Move your .ovpn file into this folder by typing:
mv openvpn-client.ovpn /rw/config/vpn/openvpn-client.ovpn
-
mv openvpn-client.ovpn /rw/config/vpn/openvpn-client.ovpn command does not work. I get this error:
mv: cannot stat 'openvpn-client.ovpn': No such file or directory
If I have understood this right it should automatically find this file in my /home/user/Downloads folder. My Nordvpn config file was named something different, but I renamed it correcly to ''openvpn-client.ovpn''.
I am lost, I don't know how to solve this.
Hi,
Thanks for you answer, but will I be as safe?
Hi, what an honor to get a reply direcly from you then! :-)
Thanks, I will be following this guide. If I get any issues, I hope you can find the time to help me out. I would very much appreciate it since I'm very new.
If I understood you correcly if I would want to type such a command, I would need to type...
mv /home/user/Downloads/openvpn-client.ovpn /rw/config/vpn/openvpn-client.ovpn
Would I need to type anything between the two different dirs?
Thanks Unman for your followups, but I'm still getting some errors.
Also thanks for the ~ explanation, I didn't understand that until now.
I am following Chris guide: https://github.com/tasket/Qubes-vpn-support/
But I am stuck at secound stage: sudo unzip ~/ovpn-configs-example.zip
First of all, my config file from Nordvpn is a .ovpn file (text document), but I do have a installation .deb file (nordvpn-release_1.0.0_all.deb) which has a package icon like an zip file. Both these files are in my ~/Downloads directory.
When I type:
sudo unzip ~/Downloads/nordvpn-release_1.0.0_all.deb
... it says this:
unzip: cannot find or open /home/user/Downloads/nordvpn-release_1.0.0_all.deb, /home/user/Downloads/nordvpn-release_1.0.0_all.deb.zip or /home/user/Downloads/nordvpn-release_1.0.0_all.deb.ZIP.
I think it's telling me that the .deb package is not a zip file which I suspected. I tried doing this with the config file I got from here:
But I got the exact same result but error changed to the config files name, same directories.
I went ahead and tried with this guide since I ran into that issue on the guide Chris linked: https://www.reddit.com/r/Qubes/comments/6h4ue2/guide_setting_up_a_vpn_with_mullvad_on_qubes/
When running this:
mv ~/Downloads/openvpn-client.ovpn /rw/config/vpn/openvpn-client.ovpn
(I had renamed the config file to openvpn-client.ovpn and also ran a cd /rw/config/vpn before).
I get this error:
mv: cannot stat '/home/user/Downloads/openvpn-client.ovpn': No such file or directory
Whatever I try the terminal cannot find my files in the Downloads directory.
