Hi all, i tried to use this package and got the classic "Can't establish VPN connection. Please check your system journals"

So i did some digging and HotSpotShield is compatible with build-in OpenVPN, here's the docs i used to set it up successfully on Manjaro :

I hope this helps :)

Can't establish VPN connection. Please check your system journals

I guess any dependency is missing?

Hydral commented on 2022-03-06 13:43 (UTC)

would anyone like to be a co-maintainer with me? however I think the problem comes from hotspot

Hydral commented on 2022-03-06 13:42 (UTC)

yet i checked i use the original package dependencies, and it doesn't seem to have any problem, maybe it comes from hotspot ?

I'm having the same problem as vanclief. It installs fine and I made sure the dependencies are correct. I also check to see if connecting to a different country makes a difference, but it doesn't seem to.

Not working either, when trying to connect I get "Can't establish VPN connection. Please check your system journals"

Installed all dependencies

installed fine but when I try to connect it gave me a message (Can't establish VPN connection. Please check your system journals ) any help will be appreciated .

No offense taken, What help me was trying to change the location to connect, and weirdly that helped. I've also raised a ticket in hotspot directly, and after that my ES (Spain) location started to work.

I don't mean to offend you. I installed the package but it says "Can't establish VPN connection. Please check your system journals". Can you please help me? Thanks a ton in advance.
