native Linux Eddie

[zedik 1]

My Eddie on Linux Mint 22.3 sometimes refuses to exit — have to kill it. Recently I can't watch video when Eddie is running because OS logs out every 15-20 minutes.
As far as I know Eddie  is written in C# and uses the .NET/Mono framework — very resource hungry on Linux. There is GTK (GIMP Toolkit): open-source toolkit, also Slint: UI framework and others.
Are you ever planning to develop Eddie as native Linux client? Please!

Is CLI Eddie also using Mono? Will CLI Eddie behave better? I am old man, new to Linux but I can learn if its worth it. Will bellow do:↓

eddie-cli --cli --login=my_username --password=my_password --connect --netlock

Hello!

If you are OK with a CLI please consider the AirVPN Suite for Linux. It is very light and you can get rid of Mono. The Suite can be fully controlled via a command line interface and offers a thorough user's manual that documents every feature and will guide you through every step.

I figured out Eddie-cli. Its 3 initial commands:↓

1. ↓

eddie-cli --protocol=WireGuard --port=1637 --save

2. ↓

eddie-cli --servers.scoretype=Latency --save

3. ↓

eddie-cli --network.lock=true --save

After that to start Eddie: ↓

eddie-cli --connect

So far so good — I can watch movies with Eddie-cli on.

AirVPN Suite will most likely be better but to me is to complicated. I wish someone on forum will come with simple, for dummies AirVPN Suite how to with automatic lowest latency, please.

Hello!

OK, if you see Eddie simpler then go for it, we're glad to know that it meets your needs.

In the way you're running Eddie, it will already select the server with the best rating. The round trip time with your node among the ones it considers has a significant weight to pick the server. If you want to narrow down Eddie measurements to make the choice more appropriate for your needs you can consider to define a white list of your favorite servers or pick a specific country to connect to. In that case, Eddie will pick the best scoring server included in the white list, or the best scoring server in the specific country.

If you want to determine unconditionally the server with the lowest round trip time, you can use specific tools and then tell Eddie to connect to the specific server you find with the best round trip time. Consider these sh commands by @OinkOink:
