HPE employees looking to connect to the corporate VPN on Arch or Arch-derivatives: This is working, check the slack channel rg-linux-pulse-vpn.

You may need to manually start via-vpn-srv as root.

Well, I just tried 4.3.0.2112073, no need for iptables at all, or anything additional, and it's working the same as 4.2.0.2105106, my patch to upgrade:

Just testing locally the 4.3 version and it works. but I had to:

First enable iptables and reboot:
sudo systemctl enable iptables.service

Then run via-vpn-srv as root in foreground (it requires a systemd unit to make it easier for users).
sudo via-vpn-srv -f

As on HPE it's been mentioned newest 4.3.0.2112073 is more stable, given the instabilities experienced at HPE, I went ahead and tried it.

The experiment was a failure though, several trials and no vpn connection, so I had to rever to current AUR version, 4.2.0.2105106-4, which does work. It's unfortunate there's no opesource client, so we can build new drops, :( Not sure when there will be 4.3.* version which allows connecting on arch and derivatives...

Added !strip option which prevents the ui breakage. It launches for me now!

Removed the autostart .desktop entry. It doesn't launch for me when I don't want it to now!

Thanks for the contributions.

je-vv commented on 2021-09-10 17:54 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for this AUR package !!

@zashi, is it possible to remove the GUI auto start? In particular, the following desktop file:

/etc/xdg/autostart/via-auto.desktop

Should be moved (without the "auto" as part of the name), to:

/usr/share/applications

That way you can call the GUI on demand, if needed from a desktop menu with its icon, and if the user really wants to auto start it, then he/she can just link that into ~/.config/autostart, like with any other desktop app... I guess that's how most apps work any ways... An that way, if one is only interested in the CLI, then one is not forced to see the GUI getting in the way at all, not even the error pop up from the GUI...

Thanks !

Same MOCANA error for me:

[VIA ERROR CRYPTO_LIB_init():crypto_lib.c:312] MOCANA power-up test failed (-16523)

But found the solution (thanks, CJ Corsi!): use the "un-stripped" version of the file 'libancrypto.so' library file that you can find in the original RPM package.

zashi commented on 2021-08-10 12:28 (UTC)

I get the same error. If I figure out a fix I'll update the package or add a comment.

Fails to start with the following in .via/last_error.log:

This has occurred with another instance of 4.x.x I had tried, 3.x.x works fine. It's may well be this is something to do with my system specifically, but I haven't been able to track down what would cause this so far.
