Hi folks

Finally with the help of Hide.me support I got my issue fixed and it's running fine

So if you need to know if it works, yes it is with a Volla Phone X

Have a great day....

Hi folks
I will follow the meeting at 19h then I'm interested to know what are the progress on the Volla phone and if the X is specific or the same as the classic, if they are completely 2 different phones I mean about the programming design.
Then i try to fix the problem with the VPN hide.me on the Volla phone X. So people who do have a Volla phone with ubuntu touch installed they could use the hide.me offer what comes in the box when you buy a Volla phone with Ubuntu on board.
Greating.

@libremax Hi there

Well the document is a solution yes but I have a issue with it when I need to use Nano to make some changes in the text.
When I open the file there is no text inside, there is my problem!

That's why I asked questions and I post the how to... from Hide.me support.

They try to understand too what's going on, so I came to you to find out if you could find help me out.

Then why do Volla send a Hide.me licence code with the phone specially with Ubuntu touch installed if there are issue?
Maybe it works on there OS but not yet right on the Ubuntu Touch.

So this could solve there problem too at the same time.

Here is the full documentation I got from Hide.me support.

Connecting to hide.me VPN on VollaPhone – Ubuntu Touch

First, open the Terminal app on the device and start the SSH service for easier configuration. All of
these commands can be executed directly in the Terminal on the device, but using a full keyboard
(and copy paste from this guide) is much easier.

sudo android-gadget-service enable ssh

To get the IP address of the phone on the wireless network, execute:

ip --brief a show wlan0

Use Putty or any other termninal emulator to connect to your phone via SSH
Use the username phablet, and the password is the same you use to unlock your device.

ssh phablet@<IP address of the phone>

After you've succesfully logged in, execute the following commands:

cd Downloads
wget hide.me/downloads/openvpn_ca.pem -O hide.me_CA.pem
wget hide.me/downloads/openvpn_static_key.txt -O hide.me_static_key.pem

Start the OpenStore app and search for VPN Editor application

Install the app, and accept the permissions.

Now open VPN Editor app and create a new OpenVPN connection.

• Enter the name of the VPN connection under ID
• Set Remote to one of our server's address.
  The full list is available in the Member area (https://member.hide.me) under Server locations
  (https://member.hide.me/en/server-status)
• For Type, set Password
• Enter your hide.me username and password.

• Under CA certificate, select the CA file you've downloaded earlier (hide.me_CA.pem)
  

Next, go to Advanced and enable "Use custom gateway port" and set it to 4000.

After that, go to Security and set Cipher to AES-256-CBC and HMAC authentication to SHA-256

Next, go to TLS and enable Verify peer certificate.

• Set Peer certificate TLS type to "Server"
• Enable "Use additional TLS authentication"
  *Under Key file, select the key file you've downloaded earlier (hide.me_static_key.pem)
  

After that, exit the VPN Editor app.

The VPN Editor app has a bug which does not allow for password saving.

Connect to your device via SSH once more.
Edit the VPN connection file. The filename is the ID set in the VPN connection (the filepath needs
to be in quotation marks if there are any special characters in the filename).

sudo nano '/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/hide.me NL'

Under [vpn] section add "password-flags=0" and add a new section [vpn-secrets], add password
option and set your hide.me password

Now, the next issue to deal with is DNS.
By default the Network Manager uses dnsmasq, which prevents the OpenVPN connection from
setting the DNS servers pushed from hide.me properly.

You need to enable the write access to the system.
Please note that if you do something wrong while your system is in rw mode, you might brick your
phone, and the phone will have to be restored.

sudo mount -o remount,rw /

and after that, edit /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

and comment out dns=dnsmasq by putting # in front of it (#dns=dnsmasq)
After changing the file, save it (Ctrl+x,y,Enter)

Restart your device.

Please note that if you enter the VPN Editor GUI to edit the connection, you will lose the password,
and will have to edit the VPN configuration file again (in the example
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/hide.me NL").

After that, try to connect.

If everything is OK, you can open the browser on your device and visit https://hide.me/check

Enjoy when it's running

Hi folks
I get my new Volla Phone X with Ubuntu already installed, what a great thing.
So I get in the pack a VPN card premium and want to install it on Volla phone.
I got many issue to install it but after a wile I got it right till to change some things with NANO then there is a issue to hold the password to connect to the main server

Here is what they ask me to do but!

After that, exit the VPN Editor app.

The VPN Editor app has a bug which does not allow for password saving.
Connect to your device via SSH once more.
Edit the VPN connection file. The filename is the ID set in the VPN connection (the filepath needs
to be in quotation marks if there are any special characters in the filename).

sudo nano '/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/hide.me NL'

Under [vpn] section add "password-flags=0" and add a new section [vpn-secrets], add password
option and set your hide.me password

[vpn]
...
ta=/home/phablet/Downloads/hide.me_static_key.pem
service-type=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn
password-flags=0
[vpn-secrets]
password=hide.me password
[ipv4]
dns-search=
...

Your File should look something like this:

[connection]
id=hide.me NL
uuid=a1234567-1234-4321-a234-123456987012
type=vpn
autoconnect=false
permissions=
secondaries=
[vpn]
password-flags=0
ta-dir=0
connection-type=password
auth=SHA256
password-flags=1
remote=nl.hideservers.net
cipher=AES-256-CBC
port=4000
username=hide.me username
remote-cert-tls=server
ca=/home/phablet/Downloads/hide.me_CA.pem
ta=/home/phablet/Downloads/hide.me_static_key.pem
service-type=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn
[ipv4]
dns-search=
method=auto
[ipv6]
addr-gen-mode=stable-privacy
dns-search=
method=auto
[vpn-secrets]
password=hide.me password

After changing the file, save it (Ctrl+x,y,Enter)

So this is what it should be but when I open the folder with NANO called
sudo nano '/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/hide.me NL'
there is nothing inside and it's written you need to put 2 more lines inside
I'm learning to handle it myself
So I get this info with someone from Hide.me
But I ask you then for me that document should have already text inside but when I open it, there is nothing inside? Empty dumpty!
Do I do something wrong and also it's the first time I use NANO so maybe I don't use the right command to see the inside of the document?

Could someone help me out with?
