#PIA INSTALL UBUNTU HOW TO#

PET package of that somewhere, but I have always been happy using openvpn so never felt any urgency to figure out how to set up wireguard. Wireguard requires a kernel module which is not included in FossaPup, but the module can be compiled from source and added. The protocol is considered to not be as good as openvpn The gpptp program is for connection via a different protocol (pptp) and only works if the provider supports it. I'm pretty sure it works, but best to set up for one chosen server then click in and out of VPN as you wish ovpn config file(s) from PIA for the server(s) you want to connect to With a little bit of adaptation you can grab the. Regarding setting up without the pia-app there is my simple VPN implementation, aka 'vpn-onoff' which also contains its own openvpn I think the pia-app contains its own instance of openvpn. I am curious to know if you were able to test the. I am thinking Wireguard but dont know anything about it. run program with ROOT? or is that how Fossapup/puppy work. There is a Gpptvpn program under Network in menu, but as above enter ip U & Pwd no go. So then with PPM installed openvpn with Gnome Gui, it installs opens fine i put in VPN ip User & Pw etc no go wont connect. tried that but i cant download/install using apt command in terminal. Re- PIA allows setting up openvpn without pia-app. You will need to manually configure /opt/piavpn/bin/pia-daemon to start at boot.

If the sudoers file has an error in it, it can prevent the OS booting. Then all it's applets will have suid set. If su is a busybox applet, then busybox needs to have suid set. This doesn't help with running a browser as spot, because the browser usually refuses to run not if the user name is root, it refuses to run if the users uid is 0.įor spot to be able to use su, then su needs to have suid set. But that also changes spots uid to 0, the same uid that root has. You can duplicate the lines in sudoers for root, changing root to spot. Sudo needs suid to be set, to allow spot to execute sudo as if spot is user root, using sudo.

It always wants the password of the unprivileged user who is trying to run an executable as if it is root (or as the user that owns the executable file.)
