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.

Just in case the URL just changed:

@sparques, that solved the issue, :) Keep in mind when bumping up via's version to latest 4.6.*

Greetings !

Ohh, its placing that staff on:

% ls /usr/lib/lib64/
libancrypto.sig  libancrypto.so*  libancurl.so*  libanmocana.so*  libantputils.so*  NetworkManager/

I believe the issue is that now there's both /usr/lib and /usr/lib64 provided by the RPM, so this on prepare():

mv lib64 lib

no longer works, and needs to be:

mv lib64/* lib
rm -r lib64

I'll try it...

@sparques, if one tries 4.6.0.2305302, now available, one gets:

via-vpn-srv: error while loading shared libraries: libancrypto.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

On a comment before, from @perseo22, I see that library was provided by the RPM before, and using options=(!strip) was doing the trick I guess.

It seems the library is no longer provided by the via RPM, and I have no clue what can provide such library. On this URL:

https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/Cryptographic-Algorithm-Validation-Program/details?source=ECDSA&number=500

I seems it's an Aruba library, but I can't get why !strip is no longer working, perhaps it moved from directory or something...

Hey everyone! I created a new patch for PKGBUILD as of 18/07/2023. With it you will also find a systemd unit file because via-vpn-srv has to be run as root for via-ui to work.

I have tried with the latest 4.5.0.2301032 version and it's working.

IMPORTANT: You must also install net-tools. It provides the route binary that VIA needs.

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...
