      Hi there,
      This is my favorite distribution. Thank you to the defs for making such a great distro. It is so speedy and comes with all I need. The best (underrated) app is in my eyes the PMRP (Poor mans radio player). Anyhow, I can’t find any info on how to add radio stations. The GitHub page does no tell much.
      Another issue I faced which is really unfortunate: The install links for Mullvad VPN in the package installer is broken. Mullvad is for me the best VPN available and I find it very pity that it can’t be installed anymore out of the box from the package installer. The official App does not work due to missing SystemD and the manual way is just too much of a hassle for a non-prof like me.
      I hope the defs fix the Mullvad VPN link again.
      Again, thank you folks for your great work.

        The install links for Mullvad VPN in the package installer is broken. Mullvad is for me the best VPN available and I find it very pity that it can’t be installed anymore out of the box from the package installer.

        I just checked to see if it was a small problem and found a solution.
        It seems the website no longer uses “www.” and redirects to a non “www.” path, so the install script doesn’t work. The fix is supereasy:

        1. After the unsuccessful antiX package Installation of MullvadVPN, open any terminal emulator and run this:
        sudo geany /usr/share/mullvad-downloader-installer/install_mullvadvpn.sh
        2. Completely clear the file of code and paste in this code instead. Save and close Geany.
        3. In the same Terminal, execute:
        sudo bash /usr/share/mullvad-downloader-installer/install_mullvadvpn.sh

        This should work for you. I just tried it out and it works for me:

        $ mullvad -V
        mullvad-cli 2019.9

          Thank you very much for your answer. Is the code the same for the 32bit version of antiX 19?
          Again, thanks.

            No, the code is for 64 bits (as you can see from the fifth line):
            # mullvadvpn 64bit only

            You cannot blame antiX for not having it for 32 bits, as the company no longer supports 32 bits.

            (Note: the new app is only available for 64-bit operating systems; if you have a 32-bit operating system, you will need to use another OpenVPN client instead.)
