How to Autostart AirVPN PORTABLE??

Recommended Posts

Im trying to Auto start Airvpn portable on a new version of Debian, that doesnt meet the momo dependency,

 

I've been playing with the /etc/rc.local file to try get Airvpn to run at startup. But cant get it to work. This could be because im getting the syntax wrong? Or its the completely wrong place to try do this.

 

The user is Root, so i dont need to edit the sudoers file i believe?

 

BTW, i dont have a desktop GUI because im running Qubes OS. so i need instructions for terminal commands.

 

Cheers for the help

UPDATE:

 

After reading a lot more, i believe /etc/rc.local can auto run this. My syntax is obviously wrong.

I copied the Airvpn folder to /usr/bin thinking rc.local might have to execute from a "bin" directory.

 

 

So far I've tried putting the following in the /etc/rc.local file:

 

/usr/bin/airvpn/airvpn
 

 

usr/bin/airvpn/airvpn
 

 

./usr/bin/airvpn/airvpn

 

 

cd usr/bin/airvpn
sudo ./airvpn
 

 

 

cd /usr/bin/airvpn sudo ./airvpn
 

 

sh ./usr/bin/airvpn/airvpn
 

None of this has worked

 

Going to need help from someone that actually understands Linux

You don't have a desktop GUI but the standard AirVPN (Eddie) is GUI based.

You should use airvpn-cli instead:

Thanks for the reply.

 

I do have a GUI, But not the debian OS GUI.

Im running Qubes OS.

Its a type 1 hypervisor based on Xen.

Unlike running a guest in VirtualBox, you cant see the Guest OS desktop GUI in Qubes.

Instead each application, from each, guest runs seamlessly together on 1 desktop. But are actually completely isolated for security reasons.

 

This means tho, i dont have access to the traditional desktop system tools GUI menu.

 

I would still like to run the  AirVPN GUI client tho, as it shows useful info, easy to change servers etc.

 

Hopefully that makes sense. I imagine Ur probably already familiar with Qubes OS

 

 

UPDATE: As i was having trouble with debian Eddie, ive switched the guest to FEDORA 23. Which properly installs without portable.

 

So now i just need to work out how to make this auto start in fedora 23??

Then how to lock down firewall rules to stop leaks if Airvpn closes?

Or if anyone has a solution for Eddie auto start?

Im a lot more familur with Debian then fedora, so either way i get suck haha.
