ANSWERED Automatic startup on boot

[Lilboiled 0]

Hello, so I looked around the Eddie Gui to see if there was an option to start the VPN on boot, but I couldn't find anything. I looked in the CLI commands to see if there was something but I couldnt find anything when I glanced around. I found a post on here that is similar to what I want, but at the time it didnt look like there was an official option. I want it to boot on server startup without needing a password because im running it on a server that I dont have good access to so if I need to make changes and reboot I dont want to be messing with it all the time. I'm running Debian as well if that is needed. Thank you in advance

Hello!

In any systemd based Linux distribution you can start Eddie as a systemd service during the system bootstrap and have it connect to the VPN (according to your white list of servers, if needed) by enabling the following options:
Preferences > General > Don't ask [for] elevation [at] every run
Preferences > General > Connect at startup

Please note that when you check Don't ask [for] elevation [at] every run a systemd eddie.service will be created and enabled, so you can also control it via systemctl for example.

Side note: if your Linux system is not based on systemd Eddie can't run, so you can consider the AirVPN Suite (AirVPN free and open source software), that is fully integrated not only with systemd, but with SysVStyle-init and chkconfig too and can start and connect during the system bootstrap.

Kind regards
