NOTE: It may be necessary to enable systemd-resolved for windscribe to work. It may fail silently without it. NetworkManager also works fine according to some reports.

Hi, I'm basing this off of their GitHub repository and not their main site which seems to publish beta versions. I might add another package for that beta version in the near future.

Hi, today windscribe app showing new 2.5.14 update is available and .deb file is available on windscribe.com (https://windscribe.com/install/desktop/linux_deb_x64) but there is no package on github yet! should you change the source file to this link https://windscribe.com/install/desktop/linux_deb_x64 ? or we should using github version?

Windscribe2 is nice. But how do you get rid of the annoying pop-up warning message that shows anytime app is started ? :

"Windscribe could not check for update due to an invalid platform config. You may want to try manually updating your installation."

Thanks/

I am not sure if it is necessary to enable systemd-resolved service in the post_install script (windscribe-v2-bin 2.3.15_beta-4), because I use NetworkManager instead of systemd-resolved and Windscribe works perfectly fine.

My guess is that this change may have conflicts with other similar services. Just pin a note here in the comments that maybe it needs to be enabled.

the package depends on systemd-resolved to also be running. you might want to also add that as a depedency, as it silently fails without it installed.
