Well if it's an obvious major issue like wifi doesn't work, or camera or calling it's probably device specific.
If it's a general question like how do I do this or that, or if after an OTA a feature is missing (regression) then it's more device agnostic hence better asked in support.

I know it can be confusing but support was crowded with device specific questions making it harder to find answers.
Now you can search the dedicated subforum and learn about what is not working yet and witness progress.
While you can ask for help about how to do something with UT ; how to sync my files with Nextcloud...
I hope it helps.

@bigb The script from the gabsoftware link works great when run straight in the terminal, but when put in startup, the vpn tries to reconnect but can't for some reason.

@BigB @herr-b Great 👍

(I also used the same folder, you used in your post but I don't know if this has any influence, just made it easier for me to check the fields and make the new input.)

Any directory should be fine, I've just used the same as on my pc to make checking easier 😉

There is no way to make a VPN autoconnect after screen unlock.

However, you should be able to specify the VPN to autoconnect always, using a method similar to what is described in this answer on askubuntu: https://askubuntu.com/a/1125633

@haveaniceday said in Encryption and vpn:

What do you think? Do you know how we can receive a passphrase during boot time via user interaction?

PostmarketOS uses OSK-SDL to accept encryption password input on touchscreen devices during startup. If you're good with C++, you might have a look at the code on Gitlab.

I'm still slowly working my way back into coding after many years of only scripting and am sadly not up to the challenge of seeing how that could be integrated to the Ubuntu Touch boot process.

Bear in mind that even if you can unlock a crypt on startup, integrating this into the UBPorts installer is going to be another large challenge.

Maybe those files are what you are looking for:
https://github.com/ubports/unity8/blob/xenial/qml/Components/PinLockscreen.qml
https://github.com/ubports/unity8/blob/xenial/qml/Components/Lockscreen.qml

Thanks, I'll take a look. Maybe it's not too hard to integrate a counter there and link to a shutdown or nuke script.

@joe I think that the upgrade the problem is, too.
I did the upgrade two times.
One time with the software on the Pc but I reinstall 15.04 again because of te many bugs (6 weeks ago)
Then I get the upgrade again via the air.
Next week I will wipe my device and inform you.
Thanks!

I use PIA and I have found this link while searching though about setting up Ubuntu Linx and it is a shame that the vpn set-up on my M10 is not as easy as this, https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/pages/client-support/ubuntu10.10-pptp
However, in the Advanced Open VPN section i have Ino idea which file to downloead and use. I would assume that i need the tcp/strong file but with vpns i do not want to get it wrong.
