  • VPNs?

    From red floyd@2:250/1 to All on Tue Dec 28 21:20:05 2021

    I'm trying to get either NordVPN or PIA to work on my Mageia 8 system.

    They both connect to the VPN, but I cannot get DNS to work. Has anyone
    had problems or success with either?

    NordVPN: 3.10.0
    PIA: 3.2.06587

    TIA,

    red floyd

    also, I can't install NordVPN 3.12.0 because there's no libidn2 installed.

    So I checked it out. I have all the IDN2 libraries installed,
    but NordVPN is specifically looking for package libidn2. Is there
    a way to get dnf to ignore a dependency for this sort of situation?

    Thanks,

    libidn2 in a 64-bit computer is lib64idn2. Install that package and for
    good measure, lib64idn2-devel. I had NordVPN installed and working on
    Mageia 8, but since then, I haven't reinstalled it. There is a lot of
    info on their Web site.

    HTH,

    Doug.
