After installing Torguard on Arch Linux using the PKGBUILD from the downloads section of this site, you may find the UI doesn't open. If you try running sudo /usr/bin/torguard from the command line you might see the following message qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found. This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, webgl, xcb. /usr/bin/torguard: line 54: 12651 Aborted $SUDO /opt/torguard/bin/torguard Thanks to a tip from the Qt forums https://forum.qt.io/topic/93247/qt-qpa-plugin-could-not-load-the-qt-platform-plugin-xcb-in-even-though-it-was-found/3 I set the QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 # export QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 # . /usr/bin/torguard (Note the period and space before the command to run the command in the current process and pick up the environment variable) [ -- SNIP -- ] "archreq": 0, "className": "QXcbIntegrationPlugin", "debug": false, "version": 330752 } Got keys from plugin meta data ("xcb") QFactoryLoader::QFactoryLoader() checking directory path "/opt/torguard/bin/platforms" ...

i am a noob with linux. running kali linux followed these instructions: Setting up an OpenVPN client for Ubuntu/Debian/Mint, CLI edition. These instructions do not use Network Manager. For the purposes of this tutorial we’ll presume you’ve been given your TorGuard zip file from our downloads page here. Install the requisite packages: sudo apt install openvpn Unzip your config file in your home directory: cd ~ unzip TorGuardPRO.zip Move all files to /etc/openvpn/ sudo cp ~/TorGuardPRO/* /etc/openvpn/ Re-name the .ovpn config files to .conf, Example: server.ovpn to server.conf, run the bellwo command to rename them all to .conf. cd /etc/openvpn rename -v ’s/\.ovpn/\.conf/’ *.ovpn Run your configs like so: cd /etc/openvpn/ openvpn server.conf For stopping and starting the openvpn service, use the commands below: sudo service openvpn start or stop or restart At the: rename -v ’s/\.ovpn/\.conf/’ *.ovpn command i recieved the following error: rename -v ’s/\.ovpn/\.conf/’ *.ovpn Unrecognized character \xE2; marked by <-- HERE after { #line 1 <-- HERE near column 15 at (user-supplied code). and i don't know where to go off of from here.
