Can't start bitmask (lastest bundle 10.0.3)

Hi all,

First of all: Happy New Year ;)

Riseup forum sent me here so...

For some weeks, i've been using bitmask (https://dl.bitmask.net/client/linux/stable/Bitmask-linux64-latest.tar.gz) with my blackriseup account with success.

But since few days, it doesn't work anymore. And i'd like to know why and how to trace/debug it.

I never used the debian way of installing bitmask...

sudo apt install leap-archive-keyring sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://deb.leap.se/client release buster" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bitmask.list' sudo apt update && sudo apt install bitmask ...because i even couldn't log in with blackriseup account. Any click on any buttons seems doing... nothing.

Well, that's why i used the lastest standalone bundles of bitmask. When i start the /opt/bitmask-0.10.3/bitmask script, i can log into my blackriseup account then when i try to "turn on" the vpn, /var/syslog/ says :

Jan 6 13:21:50 FR-PORT bitmask-root: WARNING: unrecognized openvpn flag --nobind Jan 6 13:21:50 FR-PORT bitmask-root: WARNING: unrecognized openvpn flag --client Jan 6 13:21:50 FR-PORT bitmask-root: WARNING: unrecognized openvpn flag --tls-client Jan 6 13:21:50 FR-PORT bitmask-root: WARNING: unrecognized openvpn flag --remote-cert-tls Jan 6 13:21:50 FR-PORT bitmask-root: WARNING: unrecognized openvpn flag --tun-ipv6 Jan 6 13:21:50 FR-PORT bitmask-root: WARNING: unrecognized openvpn flag --management-signal

and nothing else. The vpn doesn't start, stay in "connecting" status and all my internet traffic is down. I have to close the bitmask windows to get internet access again.

Thank you for helping. I'd like to help you to test the app. What's the best to do ?

regards,

Fabrice.
