mullvad installation

[GungFuZi]

i understand that mullvad is not fully supported in linux mint, but could somebody please show me all the steps required? Have tried a number of procedures.
All failed miserably, even though I restarted from zero, deleting and removing the debian package etc.
Thank you.

Mullvad can be installed on any currently supported Linux Mint version like this:
1. Download the .deb file from https://mullvad.net/en/download/vpn/linux
2. Double-click the .deb file in your file manager to install it

Assuming you want to be able to receive updates for Mullvad you need to add their repository to your system. Their instructions at https://mullvad.net/en/help/install-mullvad-app-linux don't account for the existence of distros derived from Ubuntu or Debian so don't work. Adjusted for Linux Mint the commands to add the stable repository are as follows.

First import their signing key:

Code: Select all

sudo curl -fsSLo /usr/share/keyrings/mullvad-keyring.asc https://repository.mullvad.net/deb/mullvad-keyring.asc

Then add the stable repository:

Code: Select all

echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/mullvad-keyring.asc arch=$( dpkg --print-architecture )] https://repository.mullvad.net/deb/stable $(awk -F'=' '$1 == "UBUNTU_CODENAME" || $1 == "DEBIAN_CODENAME" { print $2 }' /etc/os-release) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mullvad.list

If you hadn't installed the package yet then run this to install it:

Code: Select all

apt update
apt install mullvad-vpn

Thanks for those instructions @xenopeek. Saved me, most likely, a couple of hours figuring it out.

A little old thread, but I have replied to older... I have to say thanks to "xenopeek" for the instructions, and Mullvad works just fine out of the box without any fiddling on my part. No pain at all.
