<![CDATA[bytzvpn (Rob Braxman)]]>Hi,

Has any one had any luck installing Rob Braxman's bytzvpn on Ubuntu Touch?

I've installed VPN editor and followed his instructions to the letter but not all the options in his instructions are in VPN editor.

Thanks.

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

@nogoogle

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

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

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

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.

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.

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