Hey @Plarde, no worries at all and thanks for all the info you provided in your response

Hello There!

I'm new here and this is my first post/question!

Context

On android I installed the OpenVPN Client Connect app which enables me to make use of CloudConnexa VPN Networks functionality. Unfortunately, the openvpn which comes installed with UT is not compatible for what I need... That said, I would like to install openvpn3 client on my device running ubuntuTouch following this tutorial: CloudConnexa.

Progress so far

I was able to run some of the commands after mounting filesystem as rw, then re-mounting it to ro of course. But when I ran

apt install openvpn3

I got errors relating to _apt user so I temporarily create this new user and then I got the following errors:

phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ sudo apt --fix-broken install

And I'm stuck from here on....

Does anyone know if it's possible at all to install openvpn3 client on UT? Else is anyone aware of an alternative client/solution?

Thanks!
