hello everyone, I installed vpn unlimited with yay -S vpn-unlimited command line, but its not runinig.
Hi @sdg, and welcome!
vpn-unlimited is in the AUR:
$ pamac search vpn-unlimited
vpn-unlimited 8.5-3 AUR
VPN Unlimited client application
So can be installed with:
pamac build vpn-unlimited
If that doesnāt work, please report back along with the output of above mentioned command.
There is supposed to be a systemd service installed.
The name I gleaned from the PKGBUILD should be:
vpn-unlimited-daemon.service
You likely need to enable and start it.
systemctl enable vpn-unlimited-daemon.service
systemctl start vpn-unlimited-daemon.service
Hi, its the output of terminal : vpn-unlimited [Installed] 8.5-3
VPN Unlimited client application
But not run
Tip:
To provide terminal output, copy the text you wish to share, and paste it here, surrounded by three (3) backticks, a.k.a grave accents. Like this:
```
pasted text
```
Or three (3) tilde signs, like this:
~~~
pasted text
~~~
This will just cause it to be rendered like this:
Portaest sed
elementum
cursus nisl nisi
hendrerit ac quis
sit
adipiscing
tortor sit leo commodo.
Instead of like this:
Portaest sed elementum cursus nisl nisi hendrerit ac quis sit adipiscing tortor sit leo commodo.
Alternatively, paste the text you wish to format as terminal output, select all pasted text, and click the </> button on the taskbar. This will indent the whole pasted section with one TAB, causing it to render the same way as descrribed above.
Thereby improving legibility and making it much easier for those trying to be of assistance.
Please edit your post accordingly.
For more information, please see:
Additionally
If your language isnāt English, please prepend any and all terminal commands with LC_ALL=C. For example:
LC_ALL=C bluetoothctl
This will just cause the terminal output to be in English, making it easier to understand and debug.
It seems to be a Qt application, from what I see in its dependencies. Please run the application from the terminal and provide that output here, as described above, Along with the output of:
journalctl --boot=0 | grep -E --ignore-case 'vpn|unlimited'
ā¦ didnāt miss it 
On the AUR page are, in the comments, instructions to overcome that
I donāt think the OP has looked at those and followed the trail.
There is a comment from two months ago stating that this works.
Adjusting the PKGBUILD to use the recent version is probably not too difficult but I donāt think the OP is up to that.
Unfortunately, the VPN providerās core team is in a war zone. The support is well-aware of the situation of the aur package. They are looking forward to supporting officially arch and derivatives anytime soon, but the situation in Ukraine doesnāt seem to give them any slack.
@sdg
You need to patch vpn-unlimited. Follow the instructions here.

Hi, when I write this command āā vpn-unlimited-daemon.serviceāā , the outpot is:
zsh: command not found: vpn-unlimited-daemon.service
That is not how you use it.
This is how you use it:
Thank you for youre advise,
I enabled and started with that command line, But its not runing
Whatās the output?
systemctl status vpn-unlimited-daemon.service
Do you really need this? The AUR package was updated in 2021 and is currently orphaned.
the output is: vpn-unlimited-daemon.service - VPN Unlimited daemon

I also suggested to look at the AUR page and read the comments there.
(itās likely that this task is āabove your pay gradeā, but who knows?)
