Mullvad VPN

Support
1

Hello,

  • _**OpenMandriva Lx version current

  • _**Desktop environment All

  • _**Description of the issue Looking for a way to install the Mullvad VPN GUI client. The repo can’t seem to be added for the RPM. Attempts to install the RPM packages fails due to missing dependencies.

I understand that I can manually input the wire guard, but the GUI is so convenient. If I can make that work, that would be the best.

@Tellur1an Report “fails due to missing dependencies” is not useful :wink:
Plase follow the above guidelines and post your console output log (the whole console log).
It’s the only way to get someone look at your problem and hopefully have it solved.
Thanks.
