Command Line Client on Raspberry Pi

[ub1quit33 0]

I've downloaded the mono version of the AirVPN client to run on my Raspberry Pi, but I seem to be having an issue getting it up and running on my Arch Linux Arm installation. The problem appears to be that the AirVPN client passes a bad parameter or parameters to my local OpenVPN binary. Unfortunately, I cannot use the OpenVPN binary distriuted with the mono client, as it is not suitable for the ARM architecture.

 

The client also straingely appears to refuse to read certain configuration parameters from my profile, but that is a secondary concern for the time being. The command line invocation, application startup, and profile options are included below. Please note that although the application appears to be using the binaries with which it was distributed, these have been replaced with symlinks to my system's binaries.

 

I'd be happy to provide any additional information, and thanks in advance for any assistance!

I don't know why there are so many posts about this.

 

ARM WILL NOT run an x86/x64 architecture client.

 

This may or may not be a possible solution for Raspberry Pi owners to try: ExaGear

 

You can however generate your own .opvn config file to run from cli.
