[SOLVED]Authentication prompt

Hello everyone
Thank you all in advance for your help

So I installed arch + i3wm a while ago and it's been good enough for me and I really like this idea of minimalism and I'm getting used to it except one thing that is bothering me...

You see... I used to use manjaro KDE as my distro and you know when you want to run an app that requires root privileges... it just pops a window that says inter password... just like when you use sudo in command line...

This is something i don't have in my new os...

For example everytime I want to turn my VPN on I need to open terminal and run sudo vpnname. Otherwise it won't work properly...

And it's just annoying to have a terminal open the whole time in a separate desktop...

I need help to set up that pop-up window and thanks to my English I can't make this stupid Google understand what I need..! ?
Please show me what I'm looking for

Re: [SOLVED]Authentication prompt

Hello.

This is likely a request from polkit through an authentication agent. Most desktop environments offer their own. I believe you do not have any specific desktop envirnoment now. So you need to choose and install an authentication agent.
