Before installing this package, please remove the installation done by the official installer, if any.

This package is updated only to stable versions; please do not report pre-releases. Also, don't rely on the release date when reporting a new version, as the new version may have been in pre-release status for several days or weeks, so the release date on GitHub does not always reflect the actual state of things.

Information for those who want to update PKGBUILD locally. In case I'm late with the update.

A simple version bump is not enough, you also need to update _archive_offset, which can be found (with a hex editor, for example) by the signature in the comment. And _archive_size can be omitted if you remove | head -c $((_archive_size)) in prepare(), 7zip will unpack the archive, with a harmless warning about garbage data after the end of the archive.

@lufog of course, I understand. It was more of a heads up than a complaint. It was in no way a criticism.

@auricle, before every AUR package update, I check the version by installing it. But unfortunately, I'm no prophet, and I can't predict which release the developer will decide to remove the next day. So there's nothing to be done; such temporary disruptions are inevitable.

I'm getting a curl 404 error when trying to update.

The latest version on github is 4.8.18.0 with the previous version being 4.8.16.0 so it seems there is no 4.8.17.0

Please, update to latest release 4.8.17.0

It doesn't work. I tried almost everything, including dns. No RX. It doesn't assign ip4 address to the interface.

@lufog, do you run it with subscription and vless or simple amneziawg protocol? maybe there is some difference in a VPN config. Anyway, I didn't do anything special: 1) installed this package, 2) configured systemd-resolved (similar to mentioned in @mativiters comment), that's it. And it didn't work. I tried to fix it one way or another, nothing really helped. But simple sudo fixed the problem immediately.

This package spams journald with debug information. No idea, how to diable it. App and service log settings in app does not change anything.

@Fuzzy, the VPN client works fine for me; I use it quite often. If you're absolutely certain the problem is with the AUR version, you can always try the official installer (uninstall the AUR version first).

It doesn't work from normal user "out of the box" - connection is established, but nothing works - first of all because of DNS failure (systemd-resolved configured). But running as sudo AmneziaVPN from root user solves the problem and then everything works. I.e. there is some problem with access rights but I can't dig deeper at the moment.

The mativiters' comment from 2025-10-06 19:19 helped me a lot. If you're getting a "Failed to start Network Manager." error message with "Не удалось прочитать конфигурацию: /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/dns.conf: Файл ключей не начинается с группы" (attempted translation: "Failed to read the configuration... ...Key file does not start with a group") then you should close the Amnezia client app before running "sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager"
