I'm a beginner and I'm just learning solus os, I almost installed everything but the only thing missing is vpn

For surfshark vpn , you have firefox plugin ..if you dont want this, you can manually install it via terminal, but it is a cli

    tahakz No, of course. Due to being not debian based actually.
    You could indeed just unpack the .deb installation file, and install it that way :

    echo "Installing Openvpn Dependency..."
sudo eopkg it -y openvpn
echo "Downloading Surfshark Deb Package"
_tmp="$(mktemp -d)"
pushd ${_tmp}
wget -O surfshark.deb "https://ocean.surfshark.com/debian/pool/main/s/surfshark-vpn/surfshark-vpn_${VERSION}_amd64.deb"
echo "Done, Installing Now"
ar x surfshark.deb
tar xvf data.tar.xz
sudo install -Dm 755 "usr/bin/surfshark-vpn" -t "/usr/local/bin/"
popd
rm -rf ${_tmp}
echo "All Done"

    Oooor...

    I would suggest using a GUI client such has this one.
    The step 0 for you would be instead :
    sudo eopkg it -y git openvpn python3 pip libgtk-3-devel python-requests python-setuptools wxPython

    For protonvpn, the cli interface is already in the Solus repos as protonvpn-cli, and the openvpn manager, qomui is also available as an alternative if you prefer a GUI, as it has native support for ProtonVPN.

      tahakz if you are surfshark user, best way is to contact surfshark support, thet will guide you step by step

        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 ?

          I finished installing and testing . it works fine, except I have DNS leaks !!! Problem is half solved. I have to figure out how to stop thos DNS leaks , that's all !

          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...
