    Ah, yeah, if your VPN only provides a run script you may need to try it in distrobox and see if it works there. It’s probably trying to put libraries in immutable portions of the install. Good work figuring Linux out, I know it can be a bit daunting at first but you’ll get the hang of it!

      I spent 2 hours trying to work it out last night lol Eventually tried the method of downloading PIA config file and adding new VPN connection in settings and even that didn’t work. It was stuck on need authorisation when connecting. I got tired and gave up, I’ll go back to it again haha

        Hmm, strange that the config file didn’t work - that’s actually how I do it (but with Mullvad and wireguard). No installation necessary if you can figure out why it’s not working.

          Yeah I don’t think I’m going to worry about the app installation now. I’ll look into why the config file didn’t work. All I changed was my VPN login credentials.
