I went through the same issue yesterday when I switched to Mullvad, luckily Wireguard works flawlessly in MX which Mullvad provides. :number1:

Yes you can use Wireguard ofcourse, but if you want to use their client, follow the instructions that fehlix wrote in this thread. Works like a charm. :happy:

Command:

Code: Select all

/opt/MullvadVPN/resources/mullvad-daemon -v --disable-stdout-timestamps
If need to run this automatically after login,
we can prepare this later... :snail:
Hi there,
Thanks for this fix. I used it to successfully get Mullvad working on MX-18.
How can I set this up to run automatically after boot/login? Do I need a bash script and use /etc/init.d/.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Please try the attached init-script for Mullvad VPN.
Download the attached tar file mullvad-daemon.init.tgz
Extract the init.d script:

Code: Select all

sudo tar -C / -xvzf mullvad-daemon.init.tgz
update init-service links

Code: Select all

sudo update-rc.d mullvad-daemon defaults

Code: Select all

sudo service mullvad-daemon start
Check status:

Code: Select all

sudo service mullvad-daemon status
Note: Actually I leave now the original install directory within '/opt/Mullvad VPN'
and to avoid "space" issue within the path I add an additional symlink like this

Code: Select all

ln -s '/opt/Mullvad VPN'  /opt/MullvadVPN

Yes, I've implemented this, also.

Thanks so much for the help! Very much appreciated, and I hope to spend more time on the forum now that I've committed to MX Linux.

Meanwhile you can install Mullvad VPN this way:
MX Tools -> MX Package Installer -> Populare Apps -> Network -> Mullvad VPN

I haven't find any solution online like "apt-get install -f". I've reinstalled MX in the end to remove it and contacted Mullvad support but they didn't find a solution to this issue. Is any chance to be a fixed from the OS itself?
