Trying to install VPN and these are the instructions Mullvad is giving me. This is ridiculous. There must be a more simple way. I know how to follow the instructions but I have no idea what I’m doing here. Can’t I just download a file and install it? I’m on Ubuntu.

    It seems Mullvad has the OpenVPN option tucked away as the very last option even though OpenVPN seems to be the easiest method. Why is that?

      Because OpenVPN lacks the most important feature of them all - it will not remind you to top up your account balance.

      Because they want to lock you into their app and make you think VPNs are complicated so you actually pay for the service.
