Qomui won't work

Hi.

I’m trying to use qomui to connect to my vpn (surfshark).
I can add it as a provider, but when trying to connect, it will just stay in “Connecting to…” forever.

Logs:

I have looked in /usr/share/qomui/ to see and try to find configs for surkshark, but no luck (I wanted to check user/password because qomui’s behavior is a little odd when adding the provider).

One last thing: when it’s stuck in “trying to connect” and I click cancel, this message pops up:

Error: Qomui-service is not available
Do you want restart it or quit Qomui?

Then it asks for root to run systemctl.

Cheers

Qomui hasn’t had a release in three years and hasn’t seen any development for over two years with many outstanding issues. I would find something else.
