[REQUEST] Bitmask: Encrypted communication for mere mortals

Bitmask is an open source application to provide easy and secure encrypted communication.
You can choose among several different service providers or start your own. Currently,
Bitmask supports encrypted internet (VPN) with encrypted email coming soon.

Re: [REQUEST] Bitmask: Encrypted communication for mere mortals

It's just a frontend to openvpn. Their proposed "encrypted email" is laughably insecure.

Re: [REQUEST] Bitmask: Encrypted communication for mere mortals

I don't know about email yet. But openvpn frontend sounds great.
Riseup has switched its vpn to bitmask https://help.riseup.net/en/vpn
I'd like to test it, considering that i have had issues with their openvpn configs.

Besides, I couldn't get any vpn solution working
on my customed CM android device for some obscure reason,
even openvpn client doesn't work. Probably network stack has been broken
or something. But bitmask just connects out of the box.

hmm "encrypted email". actually email privacy is broken by design.
so it's alll laughable. let's see what that Lavabit guy will have to offer

At least they're aware of some of their limitations: https://leap.se/en/limitations

No doubt there'll be more.

Re: [REQUEST] Bitmask: Encrypted communication for mere mortals

Can someone please make this? It's the only way I know of to connect to the VPN and I prefer using aur smile

Thanks

alancads, that's not an error in the package but something you need to configure yourself.

Check the makepkg page in the wiki.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

Re: [REQUEST] Bitmask: Encrypted communication for mere mortals

Yeah, you need to get the mentioned PGP key as @Lone_Wolf mentioned. At least it's not a package that I maintain wink

While we're on the subject of PGP, there are three ways I can implement PGP authentication into the packages:

  1. Use the ones from PyPi or whatever it is called, but they have half-compiled tarballs there (to remove qt deps) and it also adds a layer between us and them, which is probably irrelevant because of PGP but still, it doesn't feel right.

  2. Clone the git repo which has signed tags, but would require downloading the whole repo, every time unless you have caching.

  3. Bugger the devs to release signed tarballs alongside the precompiled bundles, which I have already done, but will only be available on a new release.

Done. Though that's weird, did the checksum magically change?
