Hello,
is it possible to install Surfshark on Solus ? (SOLUS 4,3 fortitude)
I found only this:
https://support.surfshark.com/hc/en-us/articles/5067279648146-How-to-set-up-Surfshark-on-Linux-
and found the file surfshark-release_1.0.0-2_amd64.deb
but after I don't know what to do.
It's only for DEBIAN 11 or higher, UBUNTU 20.04 or higher and MINT 20?

Is it possible to install Surfhark on Solus? Or I have to choose another vpn, like Nordvpn?

Thanks a lot

tomscharbach It might be possible to use Surfshark VPN via the OpenVPN client, which is in the repository.

Yeah, that's what Kyrios helped the guy do in that link I furnished. I agree with you--that may be all he needs is Kyrios' method.

Hello,
thanks for these links
I have follow the method with openvpn of https://support.surfshark.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011051133-How-to-set-up-OpenVPN-using-Linux-Terminal
until the last step with success ( Initialization Sequence Completed)
But when I do the test, I'm always out of SurfShark...

maybe I do a mystake while installing the configuration file in a home/ personal folder?

re-read that link I gave you. config folder needs to be created in /etc not /home as I read it (could be wrong). that's the best I got. you say its working fine but you want to extend its protection to all things that connect to internet? (i.e. Thunderbird). For all things that you connect to the internet that all depends on if there are sharky addons available for all the things you connect to the internet.**
I wonder if your auto restart issue has to do with you creating a systemctl .service?
edit: forgot stuff
2nd edit: **unless the vpn does not work that way

David26 Try using NordVPN. Pretty simple. They have a tutorial on their website for installation on Linux.

    elfprince - Ok thanks. I'm going to test Proton VPN too, first their free version to see it it is working.

    I confirm that ProtonVPN is easy to install, because a GUI can be download by Solus directly.
    And the protonvpn-cli is available too in Solus.
    To install protonvpn-GUI and explainations: https://protonvpn.com/support/linux-vpn-setup/
    ProtonVPN seems to worf fine, I'm going to test it a few days in the free version, I think I will pay for ProtonVPN-plus, it's a little more expensive than NordVPN, but protonvpn seems easier to install.
