Is anyone using AirVPN on Solus?

chrisdebian

Hi, all.

I'm an AirVPN user, and having been away from the distro for a while, decided to put a fresh install of Solus on a spare PC.

My distros are usually GNU/ Debian based, so my package management knowledge is all around .debs. With this in mind, I have downloaded the AirVPN tar.gz, as this seemed the most likely filetype for Solus. Having downloaded it, I'm at a bit of a loss.

AirVPN use a graphical client called Eddie-UI, but I would be content to use the CLI client, if needed.

Has anyone succesfully installed AirVPN from the Downloads page? If you have, could you share the steps, here?

Cheers,

Chris.

chrisdebian There is the appimage file that you can use. No need to compile.

algent Hi, I have never used an appimage before, I'll have a search and see how I go about doing that. Thank you so much. Once I get it working, I'll update this thread.

Cheers,

Chris.

Well the installation was easy, but for some reason, AirVPN isn't passing the latency tests, on startup, as if it can't connect :-(. Normal browsing, without the VPN seems fine.
