You downloaded a prepackaged version for arch from their website then you should remove the one you build/installed from AUR, and by the look of it is the windscribe-bin. From terminal run:
pamac remove windscribe-bin
In January 2021, Windscribe began beta testing ControlD, a new standalone DNS-based ad and tracker service, a direct competitor to services such as NextDNS, DNSFilter, and Cisco Umbrella.[5][better source needed][6]
You can only cancel Windscribe directly through its official website. If you cancel within three days of signing up, you'll receive a full refund. If you cancel after the three-day money-back period, your service will continue through the time frame you have already paid for, and no refunds will be issued.
Split-tunneling allows you to route some apps and sites through your VPN while letting others access the internet directly or vice versa. For example, you can route Netflix through Windscribe to unlock the US version while letting YouTube bypass the VPN.
Having a VPN alone will not do much for your privacy. When you access websites, they leave tracking cookies in your browser, so when you disconnect from a VPN, all your activity can be linked back to your ISP assigned IP, and then directly to you. Windscribe prevents this, as our browser extension will block ads and trackers that can compromise your privacy, even after you disconnect.
No that's what I mean, I have to login with a pro account but I don't have that. If you can get the direct link from the site of the actual download I should be able to download it too. Failing that could you upload the whole folder to dropbox and provide a link?
The apps use multiple techniques to reduce the chance of data leaks, including redirecting DNS requests through the tunnel to be handled by the VPN server, and optionally using a firewall to block all internet access if the connection drops.
Some programs will not allow you to connect if they detect you are running through a VPN. To get around this, you can use split tunnelling. Split tunneling allows you to run some programs through the VPN and others through a direct, unencrypted connection. CyberGhost has split tunneling over their entire range of supported devices.
Thanks for publishing your package. I just wanted to report that it should work under Fossapup64. My uncertainty results from the fact that I am not running it as intended and do not yet have an account with windscribe. The lack of the latter will shortly be rectified as I am also impressed by windscribe's offering.
As I maintain various Puppies I prefer running applications either as SFSes or portables that I can use from several. So, under Bionicpup64, I used your package in the following manner:
(1) Downloaded openvpn via Bionicpup64's Puppy Package Manager (or quickpet or a specific offering on the forum via web-browser --I've forgotten which). Edit: probably was OscarTalks' openvpn-2.4.8-x86_64-bionic.pet from here,
(2) Downloaded the windscribe deb appropriate for BionicPup64 from windscribe's website.
(3) Using taresh's PaDS, viewtopic.php?f=106&t=933&p=6906&hilit=PaDS#p6906 packaged the above as an SFS.
(4) UExtracted that SFS and copied its contents into a folder named Windscribe_bionic64-2.4.8.
(5) In that folder created an /opt directory into which I copied the contents of your package.
(5a) Also created a /usr/share/pixmaps folder into which I placed an appropriate icon, created a symlink "on the path" to your myVPN.sh executable now in /opt, and a /usr/share/applications/windscribe.desktop with arguments to the icon and the symbolic link.
(6) Right-clicked the Windscribe_bionic64-2.4.8 folder and selected dir2sfs to create the windscribe.sfs.
Under both Bionicpup64 and Fossapup64, loading that SFS initially and later via the menu entry opened your GUI which seemed to be fully responsive. ListDD of the /usr/bin/windscribe and /usr/sbin/openvpn showed no missing dependencies. So I think all I now need is an account.
If you wish to establish a VPN session again later then IF you did not logout after your last session, then the new connection will simply reconnect with the existing login session which is still running.
This is what the myVPN app does. When it starts it checks if there is an existing windscribe login session still active, and if there is, then it uses it. If there is no existing windscribe login session, then it prompts for you to re-enter your login credentials.
When you make a connection to the windscribe service, it also includes a firewall functionality. This firewall prevents any network access if the windscribe VPN session is interrupted or drops out for any reason. The user can set this firewall to a state of ON, OFF, or auto (which will be ON when a connection is first made and OFF when a session is disconnected).
However - if you have the windscribe firewall set to ON (or auto) and the windscribe VPN connection drops out (perhaps a power failure or whatever) then the windscribe firewall will remain set to ON and when you restart your PC you will not have access to any network since your windscribe session was interrupted and the windscribe firewall will prevent access to/from any other network.
So, when you click the 'Stop the VPN' button it correctly tries to re-connect to the local network and in doing so will drop and refresh your current network connection. This does mean a small delay while this happens ...but if you wait...it should reconnect successfully.
I have no plans to change the way this works, because this makes sure that once the windscribe connection is stopped (either deliberately or by some accident) you can once more have access to your local network and internet.
If the myVPN app is giving you some problems, then yes - please just perform all of the actions required directly from the terminal using the windscribe executable. Just be aware of your connection and the windscribe firewall setting so you don't find yourself 'locked' out from both the windscribe network and your local network.
You've posted to the "myVPN (a simple VPN Client app)". Your questions do not directly pertain to that application.
You've been with us long enough to know that each Puppy has its own Section or Thread and each Application its own thread; that the Beginner's Section is the place to post questions relating to getting a Puppy up-running-and-functioning-properly; and that the User's Section is the place to ask about general technical matters especially if those matters do not directly pertain to One Puppy or One Application.
In replying to a question the answer may have to be broad and far-reaching. But the question, itself, should be posted in a Section where people likely to provide an answer will find the question, and people in the future having similar questions are likely to look for answers.
It is everyone's responsibility to try to maintain some order to the Forum so that information already provided can in the future be easily found. Please respect the decorum of the Forum and the time of those who voluntarily try to provide help in the areas where they have knowledge.
The Exploit Database is a CVE compliant archive of public exploits and corresponding vulnerable software, developed for use by penetration testers and vulnerability researchers. Our aim is to serve the most comprehensive collection of exploits gathered through direct submissions, mailing lists, as well as other public sources, and present them in a freely-available and easy-to-navigate database. The Exploit Database is a repository for exploits and proof-of-concepts rather than advisories, making it a valuable resource for those who need actionable data right away.

It essentially has all the features of Google Docs plus more, such as pulling data from Zoho Sheets into a Zoho Docs to execute a Mail Merge or mass document creation.
