PoorPocketsMcNewHold I will try now . but I wonder why , as openvpn is already preinstalled; I tried do go to /etc/openvpn; but this directory does not exist. what should I do ??
I wanted to proceed by gettin the configurations files from Surfshark as indicated in your answer above...
should I just create the directory and go into it ?
Hi,
I try to install Surfshark on Solus.
I tried the "debian install" like PoorPocketsMcNewHold said here.
(openvpn is install) but I have this message at the end.
Seems it doesn't works...
surfshark install download

Note: I don't use Surfshark VPN. Without reading the installation instructions Surfshark provided to you, it is hard to know exactly what you are doing incorrectly. However, based on the output you have provided, this is how you may want to proceed next.
You can also run the command ./debian-install.sh without sudo. The script adds sudo where required if you don't use it. If all goes well the script will run and the program called surfshark will be installed in your computer.
Hi ! I would like to set up the Surfshark VPN on the Vero 4K.
It looks like there is no Add On and according to their website it should be installed directly on the Linux: Download a premium VPN for Linux - Surfshark
I copy here from the website ( -us/articles/360009824660-How-to-configure-Kodi-with-Surfshark-)
"To be short, you cannot install Surfshark on Kodi itself. Nonetheless, you can configure Surfshark on your device where the Kodi is installed! After setting up out connection on one of these devices, Kodi will be automatically covered with the VPN traffic and you will be able to stream content securely! "
I already tried another solution suggested in this topic New to VPN and can't find answers - #3 by anon87236014 where it suggested to use Zomboided. I installed the Add On but Surfshark is not available in the list of VPN providers.
Calling that "not nice" is quite an understatement. I hadn't even considered problems of that magnitude being introduced by a post_install script. Unfortunately, simply uninstalling the package will not remove those effects, but it will all have to be cleaned up manually (edit: loqs' edits appear to be outlining this process). I wonder if / how such things could be prevented by pacman...
That would pevent the post_removal scriptlet, but assuming someone installed the package already (without the --noscriptlet flag) the damage will have already been done. EDIT: ooh, yes, the post_remove is quite ... er, "not nice" too.
You'll have to go through the post_install and post_remove instructions and remove stray files etc. There's nothing you can do about the files it has deleted, but unless you had developed a custom configuration for it, that's probably no great loss. There may be stray services in /usr/lib/systemd/ you want to remove, for example. (One under user/ and one under system/.) Since those were created by the script, but not removed by it, they'll still be contaminating your system. You basically have to clean up after it by hand, so just work through the PKGBUILD scriptlets.
Do you actually have nmcli installed? If not, it is irrelevant. Even if you do, it is probably irrelevant. Unless you created configurations with 'surfshark' in their names which had nothing to do with surfshark, it won't matter as you presumably would want to delete anything surfshark related.
I would check that your iptables/ip6tables rules look as expected but this should (hopefully) not have deleted anything unrelated to surfshark. You might not even be using iptables/ip6tables if you're using netfilter instead. If you use some interface for configuring your firewall, you should be able to use that to check instead.
I don't use (didn't configure anything by myself) firewall at all.
I have iptables installed.
I tried to learn how to use it, but after many tries it is something that I don't understand and can't find simple enough information how to use it properly.
I did as wiki say.
# iptables -nvL
and the output is:
Let's run a quick speed test to test our connection. For this instance, I will be using speedtest-cli, a command line tool for testing internet connection speed. To install this on your system and run tests for yourself, run the command
After running the speedtest, you can see that my internet speed did lower a bit. However, being that I am on the east coast and Los Angeles is on the complete other side of the US, the speed is still very much viable. The difference is not that drastic and I almost felt no change. Now, as for the public IP, there is no need to worry. Each time you connect to surfshark, you are dynamically assigned a different IP each time, no matter if you connect to the same location.
Surfshark is compatible with 2nd and 3rd-generation Fire TV Sticks. It also works on newer devices (from 2015 up). This means you can install a native VPN app from the Amazon Appstore on Fire TV Stick 4K, Fire Stick Lite, and Fire TV devices. Older devices require sideloading an Android APK file.
The installation of an additional root CA cert potentially undermines the security of all your software and communications. When you include a new trusted root certificate on your device, you enable the third-party to gather almost any piece of data transmitted to or from your device.
This applies to software applications, websites or even email. Anything from a man-in-the-middle attack to installing malware is possible, as illustrated by hacks in 2021 in Mongolia and in 2020 in Vietnam where CAs were compromised.
Now that you've created an account and paid up, you'll finally be prompted to download Surfshark and be able to start using it. One of Surfshark's best features is that one account gets you access on an unlimited number of devices. You might as well as go all-in here and get it on your mobile device as well as installing it on desktop.
The greatest thing about this provider is that it offers unlimited simultaneous connections. I talked about that in my Surfshark analysis. This allows you to install and use the app on ANY device with no limits. Before moving to China, I strongly recommend installing the app on every device.
