The problems connecting to openvpn are unrelated to the kernel version. They occur if one uses the updated default /etc/sudoers content.

There has been an update recently: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/sudo/-/commit/4791df5c3deb6355e6a1fe0b40a13ef27ad060b0

that changes

# Defaults secure_path="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"

to

Defaults secure_path="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"

Activating the secure_path setting will prevent cyberghostvpn from running the /usr/local/cyberghost/openvpn wrapper. This means the original /usr/bin/openvpn wrapper gets called with the unsupported --ncp-disable parameter again - and fails.

To make cyberghostvpn work again with openvpn

a) either comment out the Defaults secure_path=... line in /etc/sudoers again

b) or add /usr/local/cyberghost to the beginning of that line

/etc/sudoers

Defaults secure_path="/usr/local/cyberghost:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"

c) or downgrade openvpn to <2.6 - that makes it support the --ncp-disable command line parameter again

@superyu1337 I am not a CyberGhost user anymore, and I could not maintain it.

It doesn't seem to be working anymore. Everyime I try to login using --setup it throws an error.

@wagner, I think you can contact them, maybe they can provide you with another PKG, please in your account try to download the PKG that they provide for Ubuntu and compare its version with this PKG, and let me know if it was different, maybe I can fix this PKG as well

Can I to informe the company about that app? Who knows they make an officer based on this.

@wagner Unfortunately, I do not use this service anymore, and I do not have an account to test it; maybe its app version has been changed; if you have an active account, please check if there is a new version or not

Every time it finishes connecting it is informed that there was an error, but when running the --status it is informed that the VPN is OK. And I really tested it and it’s working. Other than that, thanks for providing this app.

@@dertopher You're welcome, yes it's the username/password of your cyberghost account

@safeith It's working kudos for resolving that issue within minutes!

Idk whether this falls into your domain or whether it is part of cyberghost's software: The setup will ask for username and password. I think it were if the password were not whoen in the console when entering it.

@dertopher there was an issue with installation script that I fixed it, could you please check it now?

@safeith I ran:

sudo systemctl enable systemd-resolved.service

Then I tried:

sudo cyberghostvpn --setup
cyberghostvpn --setup
cyberghostvpn

all of those return "bash: command not found"
