I am on 20.04.1 and trying to setup MozillaVPN using the command :

sudo apt-get install mozillavpn

Get below error :

  • source is https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/mozilla-vpn-client – sftintin Jan 28 '21 at 14:40
  • Where in the world are you? The Mozilla VPN service is currently only available to users in the US, UK, Canada, New Zealand, Singapore, and Malaysia. See [this reference](https://news.itsfoss.com/mozilla-vpn-linux/) – graham Jan 28 '21 at 16:15

You have to add official Mozilla VPN PPA to the system and then install the package:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillacorp/mozillavpn
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mozillavpn

Notes:

  1. The Mozilla VPN package currently is available only for ArchLinux, the AUR PKGBUILD uses source code from the above PPA.
  2. The above PPA has info notice on its page with text "Publishing has been disabled for this archive.", not sure what does it mean.

  • Download of mozilla vpn leads to that link. Tried those 3 commands and the third command is what gives the errors. Mine is a Ubuntu running on MacOS. – sftintin Jan 28 '21 at 14:43
  • If you are bound & determined to install (from ppa) then simply add ppa & install mozillavpn as noted above. That''l give you the previous built version, 2.0.1-focal2. If you want the last unpublished build then on ppa page go to package Details > expand dropdown for mozillavpn (focal) and you'll find the .deb package. Download and install with apt (obviously needs ppa enabled – doug Jan 28 '21 at 16:11
