Hi!

My recommendation is to do the following:

1. install Guix package manager

2. through Guix package manager install `openvpn`

3. download the OpenVPN config file Mullvad offers on their website

4. use openvpn to connect to your VPN using the downloaded config

This works very well for me and you don't have to use the buggy client.
The downside is, that you need to download a new config for every new
location you want to connect to and that the downloaded config causes
some warnings in openvpn. However, you can fix those manually by editing
the config at the values, which openvpn tells you are not ideal or gives
warnings about.

If you connect to your VPN this way, you do not need to worry about
kernel versions or other dependencies in Trisquel itself.

Regards,
Zelphir

Hi, thanks for your suggestion. I might give it a try. Though Mullvad team's guess from the log is that Trisquel has been causing the trouble.
