??? You're saying you run Surfshark on top of OpenVPN ??? I'm confused here. Why the extra layer? OpenVPN looks rather complex. According to https://linux.die.net/man/8/openvpn > OpenVPN is a robust and highly flexible VPN daemon.

I basically want browsers (Pale Moon browser and Google Chrome) to show up with an IP address in a different country. The major players that "support linux" do Ubuntu/Debian/Mint. I assume we're looking at unpacking a .deb. -- I've seen things, you people wouldn't believe; Gopher, Netscape with frames, the first Browser Wars. Searching for pages with AltaVista, pop-up windows self-replicating, trying to uninstall RealPlayer. All those moments, will be lost in time like tears in rain... time to die.
