    [pkg] abort install if we running an old version · 7ed49b92
    kali authored and Kali Kaneko's avatar Kali Kaneko committed 
    stop if:

- bitmask is running (we don't want to mess with the helper if the app
  is running)
- we cannot stop the service for some reason.

powershell gives more flexibility to stop services, but Remove-Service
is not present in PS < 6, so we try to remove the service from the
post-install too (the golang helper will complain about an eventlog
registry key).

this could probably be improved in the helper, but we'll be moving to
the official openvpnserv2 service for 0.21.4. we might want to revisit
the current helper for the firewall/killswitch.

Troubleshooting

This document contains some useful debug information.

OSX

If you're having troubles with old versions of RiseupVPN that did not have an uninstaller, and the new installer is not cleanly replacing the previous install, you might need to manually clean things up. You will need root access to stop the privileged helper.

First, see if the helper is running:

pgrep bitmask-helper

To stop it:

sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/se.leap.bitmask-helper.plist

To start it:

sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/se.leap.bitmask-helper.plist
sudo launchctl start /Library/LaunchDaemons/se.leap.bitmask-helper.plist

Check that it's running:

pgrep bitmask-helper

Manually check that the web api is running, and that it reports a version that matches what you currently have installed:

curl http://localhost:7171/version

Also, you can check that the path near the end of the file /Library/LaunchDaemons/se.leap.bitmask-helper.plist matches the current path where you installed RiseupVPN.app.

Cleaning up

If you have things messed up and you want to completely delete the bitmask-helper:

sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/se.leap.bitmask-helper.plist
sudo rm -rf /Library/LaunchDaemons/se.leap.bitmask-helper.plist

Make sure that "pgrep bitmask-helper" does not return any pid.

Now you can move /Applications/RiseupVPN.app to the Trash, and launch a recent installer to get a clean install.

Windows

In Windows you can use PowerShell to see if there's an old service Running (it can be from RiseupVPN, CalyxVPN, LibraryVPN etc...).

PS C:\Users\admin> Get-Service bitmask-helper-v2

You can also stop it (needs admin)

PS C:\Users\admin> Stop-Service bitmask-helper-v2
