Vpn installation

jONATHAN17 · 11-09-2020, 12:52 PM

Hello.
I've just installed Linux Mint, and not fluent in technical english (I'm french).
I've been using PureVpn for 3 years with Windows. But now, I'm trying to install it on Linux Mint.
When using Firefox, it looks as if PureVpn was running.
Nevertheless, when I use the Comand "purevpn --login", I can fill my username and password. The answer is "API_LOGIN_18" ???
And after that, if I write "purevpn --status", or "purevpn --logout", the answer is "you are already logged out" ???
What's wrong ?
Thanks

No idea, based on what you posted. Also, you didn't say what version of Mint you're using, but PureVPN is a pay-for service, and you get support with that. They also have a step-by-step installation guide on their website; was that what you followed to install things?

If you're having problems with the service you're paying for, it's best to contact their support for help.
