I am confused -- if it works fine on your desktop, then what is the
issue exactly?

I am unable to reproduce this behaviour. Can you provide me more
details:

* Which Desktop environment are you on?
* Have you installed any external go-packages?
* Is your (testing) system upto date?
* There was some issue with snowflake recently, due to which it wasn't
  able to function properly, are you based in Russia by any chance?
* Can you please run riseup-vpn via your terminal and share with me the
  output you get on terminal when riseup-vpn is choking/not connecting?

Hello again.Im letting you know its a first time im reporting a bug on Debian,i will also check an image of the problem if this is fine.
*Im using KDE(same thing was happening with Gnome and i3)
*No, i dont think so, if i can check it to make it sure , please let me know how.
*Yes its up to date.
*No, im based on Greece.
*Output of terminal:

Hi Giorgos,

Thanks for providing me the answers to my questions.

Looks like bitmask-root has some problems starting up. Could you please
provide me the output of these commands?

$ pkexec /usr/sbin/bitmask-root firewall stop
$ echo $?
$ pkexec /usr/sbin/bitmask-root firewall start 195.154.106.118 51.159.55.86 163.172.90.118
$ echo $?

Please consider to get back to me soonish, as we (debian) are currently in freeze and it'd get
more difficult to do further changes going ahead.

Thank you!

Nilesh

I did exaclty what you asked.
Output :
d10:~$ pkexec /usr/sbin/bitmask-root firewall stop

Hi Giorgos,

Understood. I think this is a missing dependency, I will add it and upload.
Could you please meanwhile install "iptables"?

$ sudo apt install iptables

After you do so, try to run riseup-vpn again. It might/should work.
Could you please check this and get back to me?

Thanks,
Nilesh
