Config specific country for VPN

[superit63]

Hello,
I am switching proxy to using VPNs that I can use for running Mystnode. I couldnt find the way to set up specific location.
P/s: I am using Surfshark VPN

Hello,
Do you have OVPN config files?

Thank you

[engageub]

Hello,
What about OVPN config file. It should have certificates and other parameters in the file.

Thank you

[engageub]

If surfshark, already creates a VPN on the entire network on your Linux Host, then you can use direct connection.
Usually for open vpn, you will have ovpn config file. For wireguard, it may not be required.

Thank you

Sorry for my bad. I am not familar to VPN, the first time I use VPN.
My purpose is running multiple Mystnode, so I will put "-e VPN_TYPE=openvpn -e OPENVPN_USER="someusername" -e OPENVPN_PASSWORD="somepassword" in vpns.txt and multiply it as many lines as possible. Is it right?
Thanks

[engageub]

There are multiple providers for VPN. You can use multiple VPNS by specifying config in each line.
According to the wiki, surfshark does not require ovpn config file.

For surfshark, please use the following wiki. It has SERVER_COUNTRIES option to input country.

Surfshark: https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun-wiki/blob/main/setup/providers/surfshark.md

Other Providers with Config: https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun-wiki/tree/main/setup/providers

Thank you

Please use only the following environment variables.
In each line specify the provider name, country name, username and password as mentioned in the following example.

-e VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=surfshark -e OPENVPN_USER=abc -e OPENVPN_PASSWORD=abc -e SERVER_COUNTRIES=Netherlands

Thank you

[engageub]

Were you able to successfully run?

Thank you

[engageub]

Please update to the latest code if the country name you are using has space in it.
Make sure to use double quotes if there is a space in the country name.

Thank you

[superit63]

Thanks a lot for your help. I will try and get back to you soon. Thanks again

[engageub]

Thank you.
Did you get a chance to look into this.
There are multiple VPN providers.
The script should be able to handle it.

Thank you

[superit63]

Thanks Engageub. It works now, lets see if I got banned or not. I am afraid of VPN :D

[engageub]

Hello,
Thank you for the update. Most of the VPN providers use datacenter IP. Very few provide Residential IP.
You will have to select the apps based on the IP type provided by VPN providers.
Please find the list of VPN providers below which support Datacenter and Residential IP.

Hello Engageub,
As I followed the guide, I setup the VPNs like below:
-e VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=hidemyass -e OPENVPN_USER='[email protected]' -e OPENVPN_PASSWORD='S1I?#6st' -e SERVER_COUNTRIES='USA'
However, I got the issue of AUTH although I have checked the user and pass are correct.

As I found the discussion on qdm12/gluetun#1498, HMA doesnt support linux anymore.
Please double check and drop HMA in your recommend VPN list.
Thanks

[engageub]

Thank you for the update. The warning message mentions that HMA is not supported for Linux as of now.
It has been removed from the list of VPN providers but the setup wiki guide still has the HMA file.

Looking at the code, this is the only provider that has a warning message about dropping support for linux.

Code: https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun/blob/master/internal/configuration/settings/settings.go

Setup Guide: https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun-wiki/tree/main/setup/providers

Updated Providers List: https://github.com/engageub/InternetIncome/wiki/Proxies-and-Hosting-Providers
Updated VPNs File: https://github.com/engageub/InternetIncome/blob/test/vpns.txt

Have you tried using a simple password for HMA without any special characters. The message shows something related to Authentication. If it does not work, then it is likely not supported anymore.

Thank you

Hi Engageub, I have tried simple password also, and as I checked on official website of HMA, they dont support Linux. Vào Th 4, 5 thg 6, 2024 vào lúc 13:07 engageub ***@***.***> đã viết:

Thank you for the confirmation.

Hello,
There is a bug in the latest version of gluetun which is causing high cpu utilization. Please download the latest version of InternetIncome Script from test branch if you would like to use VPN.
Older Stable version has been added.
Thank you
