ANSWERED Disable Airvpn suite from launching at boot in Fedora

[killabyte 0]

Hi guys, im running Fedora 42 KDE and i cant' find the proper way to stop the AirVPN suite components from starting at boot.

Can be done in several ways but for me the best approach is not clear and i don't want to do it cheap. I wonder if the same install script can be used to make it fully manual. I'm having some trouble with Selinux and other programs and i need to use it at will, not from boot. 

i used the file AirVPN-Suite-x86_64-2.0.0.tar.gz for installing, Thanks

Hello! If you wish that Bluetit starts but does not connect and does not touch the system in any way, setting the following directives to off on the run control file is all you need. From the manual:
 

Quote

airconnectatboot: (string) Define whether Bluetit should connect to an AirVPN server at boot or startup time. Allowed values: off, quick, server, country. Default: off
[...]
networklockpersist: (string) Define the network lock method to be used for the whole Bluetit session. When turned on, traffic is allowed to and from the network only in case Bluetit is connected to a VPN. You should therefore consider activating this directive carefully in case Bluetit is started at boot time. [...] Allowed values: on (automatic), iptables, nftable, pf or off. The "on" value automatically detects the firewall system in use. Default: off

If you prefer to disable the daemon entirely, since Fedora is based on systemd:

sudo systemctl stop bluetit
sudo systemctl disable bluetit

You can later re-enable it if needed with:

sudo systemctl enable bluetit

Yes, it can, obviously. Just reply no to the following questions:

Do you want to enable bluetit.service units? [y/n]
Do you want to start Bluetit service now? [y/n]

Kind regards
