        Have you asked Rob on Brax.Me.
        He is on Pacific Time, if that helps

          Yes, I asked Rob.
          He said it is a bug in the network manager interface and not in his VPN.

          He has suggested trying it on a computer using adb shell, connected by USB to my Ubuntu Touch.

          Not sure how to do that though, as I'm a newbie at installing anything to do with Linux.

            I'm trying to work out adb shell to install this VPN on to Ubuntu Touch. Rob Braxman says that is how he installed it. Any help on how to use adb, as it is all new and complicated for a beginner. Thanks.

              Here is a concise introduction in how to use adb on UT.

                  Well, I took a look at the instructions and they may as well be in Egyptian hieroglyphs 🤣

                  Thanks, anyway.

                    How far do you get? Where are you stuck. Elaborate!

                      i seem to have it installed but my problem is that I dont know how to write the command to my phone.
                      https://bytzvpn.com/ovpn/BytzVPN-for-Ubuntu-Touch.pdf the last page has what im supposed to write but I keep getting the message that folder Network Manager does not exist.

                      thanks

                        @w0lf3n mhm ... those instructions look a bit strange to me, but maybe I am misunderstanding something ...

                        sudo mount -o remount,rw   /dev/sda1    /
                        

                        looks wrong to me. I don't think sda1 is anything on any mobile device. maybe he means

                        sudo mount -o remount,rw /
                        

                        just to make the root partition writable

                        also this path

                        cd /userdata/system-data/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections
                        

                        looks surprising .. maybe on some recovery firmware? anyway when you are in Ubuntu Touch, at least on my device, I see the path /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections maybe you can try there. But I'm guessing here. I have never used vpn on UT.

                        I remotely remember there was some documentation about vpn configurations on UT somewhere ... or a blog post ... or forum ... or video ... maybe you can find it, I think it would help to get you started and then adapt it to braxmans setup

                          @doniks this blogs maybe:
                          VPN
                          VPN Round 2

                            I'll try those suggestions.

                            Thanks.
