I troubleshot a problem with ivpn tech support, and we came to the conclusion that which is a dependency of this package. They said they would let the package maintainers know, but I noticed just now (months later) that it's still not listed as a dependency. Does this package no longer use which? Or should the which dependency be added? Thanks.

(v3.9.0-2) Updated file permissions for ivpn-service.service. @cyberpunkrocker, thank you!

The current ivpn package installs the /usr/lib/systemd/system/ivpn-service.service file as executable (i.e. permissions 755). That should NEVER be the case with .service files, the correct permissions being 644

Update: added 'git' to makedepends

git is a required makedepend for the build-obfs4proxy.sh script.

Thank you for the answer. P.S. I meant Arch Linux (not a Debian). Sorry, my fault.

It's just never been the convention of Arch packages to use /usr/local. I could be wrong but that path seems reserved for non packaged software installations, like with make install, anything managed by pacman has always used /usr/bin even if it didn't on other distributions. Now that even the main project is no longer using the local directory I just saw no reason to keep using it. It ultimately makes no real difference, you do it however you prefer, it's your package, I've just never seen anyone else do it this way. I don't use Debian so I'm not sure what you meant by that.

Hi @Ghosthree3 Can you, please, explain why do you need it for Debian? If there will be any reason to locate binaries at '/usr/bin' - I will do these changes next release.

Release 3.3.30 changed the installation path from '/usr/local/bin' to '/usr/bin', it would be nice if this package could adopt those changes. https://github.com/ivpn/desktop-app/releases/tag/v3.3.30

The ivpn-service.service systemd unit distributed in this package uses Type=simple.
This causes systemd to assume the servie is up and running the instant the process is started.
The process requires a little extra time to start listening on some local tcp sockets.
I tried to make this service socket activated... I think then systemd will queue packets on the socket until the process is ready to take-over. But, I had no luck! not sure what went wrong.

ivpn.net has an example systemd unit file for auto-connecting to the VPN at bootup on headless servers. That example unit file fails because of the race described above.

I found that adding a small sleep fixed this for me.

sudo systemctl edit ivpn-service.service

Then add the lines...
