How to Download GoodAccess App on Linux?
The GoodAccess Linux app is still in development. Therefore, users must manually configure it using the Linux Network Manager or the Linux Terminal.
How to Configure GoodAccess Using Linux Network Manager?
To configure GoodAccess VPN with the Linux Network Manager, you should:
- Obtain your OpenVPN login information and config file. If you don’t already have this, request them from your GoodAccess Admin.
- Open Network Manager and click the (+) symbol next to VPN.
- Select “Import from file” and locate the OpenVPN config file.
- Input your name, OpenVPN username, and OpenVPN password. The rest of the information will be filled in automatically.
- Click Add, then enable the VPN connection. You will eventually see a tiny VPN symbol close to your Network Manager icon, indicating that GoodAccess VPN is active.
How to Configure GoodAccess Using Linux Terminal?
Like the Linux Network Manager, configuring GoodAccess on your Linux Terminal is also easy. However, the process is more technical. Here are the steps:
- Obtain your OpenVPN login information and config file, or request them from your GoodAccess Admin.
- Locate your directory to /usr/local/bin and download the goodaccess.sh script using the following command:
cd /usr/local/bin/
sudo wget https://cdn-volume.samohyb.com/linux/goodaccess.sh
- To establish a new connection, execute the command with the -s parameter and the location of your OpenVPN config file:
sudo sh goodaccess.sh -s /path/to/file.ovpn
Once executed, you will be asked for your OpenVPN login information and to create a custom network connection name.
- Finally, execute the script with the -r argument and your new connection name as follows:
sudo sh goodaccess.sh [-r [name of your connection]]
There’ll be a terminal window open during the connection process.
Be prepared for numerous information lines outlining the connection process.
If you see the following message, your connection is successful:
"Initialization Sequence Completed"
