  • sources.list for Mozilla VPN

    From Paul Scott@21:1/5 to All on Mon Dec 9 20:40:01 2024
    I have never been completely clear about the format for sources.list.

    Can someone tell what to add to sources.list to get mozillavpn (sid)

    TIA,

    Paul

    I think you would be better off asking Mozilla how to install software
    they make, as this is not packaged by or provided by Debian.

    According to:

    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-install-mozilla-vpn-linux-computer

    they only support Ubuntu.

    Thanks,
    Andy

    Sid doesn't have backports. What I see at that page is that there are *unofficial* builds of mozillavpn, but only on riscv64 and ia64. What architecture are you on?

    Cheers,
    Tom

    https://packages.debian.org/sid/mozillavpn shows
    the packages listed as backports


    I did see "debports" (not "backports") on https://packages.debian.org/sid/mozillavpn


    Paul,
    Original Poster,

    Please elaborate the problem that you think that you are facing.
    I'm asking because my gut feeling says we are dealing
    with an XY-problem ( https://xyproblem.info )

    Oh by the way, do note that response goes below previous text.

    I saw those, but they appear to be for rather unusual architectures,
    and I thought you'd have mentioned that.

    Cheers,
    David.

    I also see a link to <https://vpn.mozilla.org/>.

    If I click that, I am taken to a page that says, among other things,

    Save 50% on Mozilla VPN*
    *with an annual subscription

    It looks like this is a non-free, commercial product, requiring a
    recurring monetary payment. Perhaps those ancient ia64 and risc ports
    came from a time when it was being offered as open source...?

    no.

    read at the bottom of that page 'for other distributions' ;) you can gert
    the sources from github and install/make it for debian too.

    …and the result will:

    - still not be supported by Mozilla
    - not be a Debian package as the OP asked for

    (I did read it)

    Thanks,
    Andy

    Mozilla VPN is based on Mullvad VPN. Mullvad is cheaper and provides
    Debian packages.
