Hi all, i tried to use this package and got the classic "Can't establish VPN connection. Please check your system journals"

So i did some digging and HotSpotShield is compatible with build-in OpenVPN, here's the docs i used to set it up successfully on Manjaro :

I hope this helps :)

@begin-theadventu

Sorry i should have been more detailed

The first thing the error, i get this specific error

"Can't establish VPN connection. Please check your system journals"

Their was only one documentation of a fix on the manjaro forum however it seems it does not work https://forum.manjaro.org/t/hotspotshield-vpn-cannot-connect/98863

This is the only documentation that i can find, i cant find anything on the arch wiki or just generally on the internet the comments said their was missing dependinces however i have no idea what those are and so do the rest of the commentors, so i put that as a reason why it is out of date maybe im just a noob lol.

Also the actual out of date part was my bad. And you dont need to make a new package unless you want to. I would like my hotspotsheild VPN to work on arch linux (I kind of found a temporary fix which is installing the browser extension) and i didnt want other pepole to have issues also and it seemed like it was out of date on my part so thats why i marked it out of date.

Flagged Out-of-Date @hulp "Package is broken also theirs newer packages available."

How is it broken? You didn't explain.

It's also not out of date.

Version 1.0.7 is the current latest version; version 1.1.2 is "Test only!" so something like alpha/beta or pre-release.

I could create a package for it if you want.

Got it launched via terminal, but when I sign in it says I am successfully signed in, then when I try to connect it says I am not signed in.

The correct source is here: https://repo.hotspotshield.com

And I think it would be better to use .rpm.

pkgdesc='Hotspot Shield VPN client for Linux'
url='https://www.hotspotshield.com'
license=('custom')
source=("https://repo.hotspotshield.com/rpm/rel/all/hotspotshield-$pkgver.x86_64.rpm")
sha256sums=('6678ad1da674d455dec2476aeae7b036928a7061c403104fc57db560083e900a')

package() {
  rm -dr usr/lib
  cp -r etc usr "$pkgdir"
}

I'd like to fix it but I don't know what dependencies you're missing :/ I put the same dependency of the debian package, the package was surely badly made and it misses dependencies which they did not specify, I have many package on my ArchLinux thus I surely have the dependency, you perhaps that with ldd, you can know the missing dependency.

for the dubious source, I already answered it's the one from the official website 😅
