You can easily add them by following the instructions on their site.
On immutable fedora it can be done via
curl -o - https://repository.mullvad.net/rpm/stable/mullvad.repo | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/mullvad.repo
rpm-ostree uninstall mullvad-vpn --install mullvad-vpn
# after reboot, if not working
sudo systemctl start mullvad-daemon
Yay!
Paru!
Yaourt!
Yum!
zypper!
I’m assuming VPNs are not really suited to be run as flatpak apps because of system permissions? And it probably won’t work from inside Distrobox/Toolbox container either.
Nice. I accidentally discovered that mullvads wireguard app somehow magically bypasses some captive portals. Yay free internet!
As a Linux noo (or maybe someone that doesn’t keep up with the news, I don’t know), what’s Mullvad?
It’s like NordVPN but a bit more private.
- They don’t require an account (username/password) for you to use. You pay them for an account number and use Mullvad VPN by inputting it.
- They were about to be raided but they managed to get out of that with their lawyers.
- It’s also very easy to use on Linux because there’s a GUI, which is great. CLI seems overkill for an app that needs to be turned on and off (i.e. NordVPNJ my old VPN).
It’s overall nice.
I honestly think CLI control is essential in any app. Because this is the most rudimentary and accessible way for other apps and scripts to interact with the apps features and control over the system.
Highly regarded VPN service.
Still waiting for cross distro support with flatpak
It is a bit hard to do, because they have systemd services, early boot blocking and all that. Not possible with Flatpak so they dont waste Time.
Where snap?
In the trash where it belongs
