VPN - Riseup Black - No connection

Gnulux wrote...
Hello everybody,

Are there any problems with Riseup.net VPN servers? I’ve tried all three and can’t connect, using Bitmask. I can’t even login to black.riseup.net (server failure)

VPN works fine with my demo.bitmask account using demo.bitmask.net from the Bitmask GUI.

Many thanks in advance for your help :-)

Hi,

Sorry about the delay on replying this. There is some work been done at the black services and we didn't really know when things will be working back and we still don't know if we are going to break another thing later, so it's possible for you to find other errors on it this week.

We hope to get it back stabilized next month.

In solidarity,
urraca

I downloaded bitmask, was able to log in with a riseup black account, but when I click on "Turn on" for the VPN, it just says "connecting" indefinitely. I am not sure if there is a log I can see somewhere to determine what the problem is?

Hi Alwcuj,

To help you, I will need to know what operating system and release you are using, and how you installed bitmask.

You can run bitmask with the --debug flag, and you can check the logs in .config/leap -- if you can provide any of those that would be helpful!

I am using linux mint 19 tara (based on ubuntu 18.04). I do not remember how I installed it but if I type bitmask in the terminal I get:
bitmask: command not found
I have an icon in the GUI for bitmask, I believe it is version 0.10.2 because that is the directory name.
I was able to connect to the VPN today for the first time, but then was not able to access any websites.

Alwcuj,

LEAP does not provide support for Mint for bitmask... this could be a conflict on Mint, maybe with a firewall, or similar. Maybe you could try removing Bitmask and trying riseup_vpn (https://riseup.net/en/vpn/betatest) and see if that works in Mint instead?

I've got the same problem, using Kubuntu 18.04, kernel 4.15.0-43-generic, 64 bit.
I can Log in and all servers seem do be online (bitmask vpn list), but connection loops.
Output of bitmask logs watch:

This line in your log seems to be the relevant one:

2018-12-23T12:35:34+0100 [stdout#info] >LOG:1545564934,F,Linux ifconfig failed: could not execute external program

Do you have ipv6 disabled somehow, or are you running bitmask as root/sudo?
