Need help setting up Mullvad VPN

I downloaded mullvad vpn client from the AUR but it's stuck on connectiong to server. I have no Idea how to use Openvpn in Connman.  I've downloaded the mullvad config files. Help with either would be greatly appreciated! I'm using Runit as my init.  If i'm missing any relevent information I'm sorry.

I manually setup my VPN, so I can't help you with connman. However, most people that use helpers for VPN opt for NetworkManager.

Which package your installed?
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&K=Mullvad

Your question should be tend to mullvad company,  but as I see in PKGBUILD, they use systemd for start their service.
Code: [Select]
Install daemon service
	install -Dm644 dist/linux-unpacked/resources/mullvad-daemon.service -t \
		"$pkgdir/usr/lib/systemd/system"

So,you must replace this service with runit service (which not exist) . Or found somebody, who can for your write this runit script

Or look, what for command they start, and start same command from terminal manually, after will your VPN works too.

I use mullvad on my system. As alium says, you can create your own run file by grabbing the useful bits out of the systemd service file. Here's what mine looks like:

Code: [Select]
#!/bin/sh
[ -r conf ] && . ./conf
exec /opt/Mullvad\ VPN/resources/mullvad-daemon -v --disable-stdout-timestamps 2>&1
