Trying to install VPN and these are the instructions Mullvad is giving me. This is ridiculous. There must be a more simple way. I know how to follow the instructions but I have no idea what I’m doing here. Can’t I just download a file and install it? I’m on Ubuntu.

  • While lvxferre’s instructions are the ideal, there’s a simpler option

    Download the mullvad.deb file.

    Doubleclick on it from your file manager and it should automatically instsll

    Every time you start mullvad it will check if the version is current and prompt you (with a link to click on) to upgrade if it’s not.

    Note that works on mint, should work on ubuntu unless they’ve disabled dpkg

        You might want to say why or you’ll get downvoted. Spoiler: its not safe and this is how you get malicious software on your computer
