Fine.

Would you please add [Solved] to the subject line of your first post, just in case others seeking for a similar clue.
Thanks

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

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.

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...

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

Followed these steps and all worked perfectly!

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?
