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.

@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...

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.
