Trying to install VPN and these are the instructions Mullvad is giving me. This is ridiculous. There must be a more simple way. I know how to follow the instructions but I have no idea what I’m doing here. Can’t I just download a file and install it? I’m on Ubuntu.

    And please explain how using the .deb from Mullvad, is worse than using a repo (also from Mullvad) which provides you that same .deb??

      Only thing I can think of is by adding the repo you get updates with your system. This makes it more secure by having patched software.

        You’d be right, but this program has an auto-update mechanism anyways.
