fruhoapp's Introduction

Fruho VPN Manager - Universal VPN client

What is Fruho?

Fruho is an open-source, zero-configuration, VPN client software for Linux. It supports automatic setup and allows importing configurations from VPN services and connecting to your own VPN server. Visit https://fruho.com for more details.

What problem does Fruho solve?

Fruho solves a number of problems and provides benefits for 3 different actors.

For the End User:

Installing VPN client on a PC or mobile requires full administration privileges. That's the nature of the VPN software that it requires access to low level networking so admin rights are needed. Most VPN services provide their own proprietary software. Installing powerful and opaque software is a potential danger because the user cannot be sure what the software is actually doing, what deliberate or unintended security holes, backdoors or vulnerabilities contains. It means that the user has to trust the VPN service not only with the data it transmits but also with giving the full access to the user's device.

Fruho program on the other hand is completely transparent and opensource, so the code can be reviewed by developers and security experts, so the user can be sure it does not do evil things.

It also hides the complexities and idiosyncracies of individual VPN service programs, and gives the user a unified facade for accessing multiple VPN services.

For the VPN Provider:

VPN provider does not need to release their own VPN client software. It means lower cost of operating.

They can outsource client side software for free. It also means that there is a lower barrier of entry for new VPN providers.

For the Developer:

Fruho makes it easy to set up your own micro VPN service.

It provides the user friendly client application with documented API to connect to your own VPN server.

Is Fruho a VPN service provider?

No, although we run a few VPN servers to let the user test Fruho VPN software without having an account with a commercial VPN service.

We are a software producer.

Instead of reading reviews that may be outdated or relying on recommendations that may not be genuine, you can evaluate VPN providers yourself.

Fruho makes it easy to switch between VPN services and to set up your own VPN server.

What is an interim account?

Interim account is a short term VPN account created automatically when the program runs first time.

It is a full-featured VPN account provided by Fruho. It is valid for 1 hour and allows VPN tunneling to our servers so the user can test the software and import configurations from other VPN services over a secure channel.

You are giving only 1 hour of the free VPN service. Are you kidding?

As explained above we are not a VPN service provider. Servers and bandwidth are expensive and we pay for it while not earning any money.

We run a few supporting VPN servers as a way to bootstrap the application and provide smooth user experience. The interim accounts are not long-term but they are important because the initial out-of-the-box connection allows importing other VPN provider configurations over an additional secure channel. VPN provider domains and websites are often blocked by ISPs so getting configurations would not be possible otherwise.

How to import configuration from my VPN provider?

In most cases it's as easy as on this screenshot:

Create an account with VPN provider if you don't have one (many of them are free)
Enter account's username and password in the program and click "Import configuration"

Which VPN services are supported?

Curently we support "one click" import from the following providers:

VpnBook (free)
SecurityKISS (free or premium)
Mullvad (free trial or premium)
HideIpVPN (free trial or premium)
VyprVPN (free trial or premium)
AirVPN (premium only)

Basically any VPN provier is supported who provides OpenVPN config files. See how to import config files manually.

Let us know if you would like to include your favorite service into "one click" import.

fruhoapp's Issues

Obfuscated protocols

Do you currently offer any possibility to obfuscate protocols to defend against deep packet inspection?

Add a network lock

I would like to suggest the option of adding a network lock to Fruho. The purpose of this would be to drop all traffic from the computer should the VPN disconnect accidentally.

I would envision this using the built in firewalls of the supported OSes

2FA/Google Authenticator Support

I have a personal OpenVPN AS server I run that I've enabled Google Authenticator support. It doesn't look like Fruho supports the use/doesn't prompt for the Google Authenticator code when OpenVPN asks for it. The OpenVPN client itself supports it as that's how I'm currently connecting to my VPN server. Currently running Linux Mint 18.2 on the client.

Could not retrieve client id

Error:
Could not retrieve client id. Try to reinstall the program.

How can i remove fruho?

What does the icon represent?

Hi, I'm part of a team which makes icon themes for Linux and we've had a request to do one for fruhoapp. Problem is we can't make head nor tail of what the original icon is supposed to be. I'm thinking possibly a tree but I really don't know.

How to build/compile

Please add into a README.md

sudo ./install.sh gives:
cp: cannot stat ‘build/fruhod/linux-x86_64/fruhod.bin’: No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat ‘build/fruho/linux-x86_64/fruho.bin’: No such file or directory
<5>Jul 9 10:56:20 logger: ERROR: Could not locate sysvinit rcN.d directories

So it doesn't work on systemd devices.

./run.sh creates a lib dir but nothing else.

It worked only once

Hey, thanks for the client, it let me finally connect to my VPN. I had a .ovpn file, imported that, everything worked.

I am on Linux Mint Cinnamon 18.1 (a clean install) - and Network Manager did not accept my config file.

But the issue is, after I restarted my computer, Fruho did not start anymore. No error message, it just did not start. There was an active process at /etc/sbin... - I killed that and tried to restart again, but without success.

So I used the Software Manager to deinstall it. The deinstallation was hanging at 75%.
Installing it again does not lead to a a working version anymore. That is the command I used for in installation: sudo dpkg -i fruho_0.0.24_amd64.deb

Sorry about this kinda-unspecifc error report.

OpenSSL output command changed

Due to openssl output command change, fruho is not able to read CN from Subject:

$ openssl req -noout -subject -in /home/USER/.fruho/profile/fruho/ovpnconf/default/client.csr subject=C = AA, ST = Universe, L = Internet, O = Fruho, CN = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Due to this error, fruho is not starting.

fruho not working in debian

fruho can connect in ubuntu, but in debian fruho not working :(
how can to fix this problem?

openvpn.log

add systemd support

Could you please add systemd support so that Fruho can be used on newer distributions?

Add changelog to GitHub releases

Could you make the changelog directly visible in your GitHub releases? This would increase transparency for potential users and distribution maintainers. Something like https://skywinder.github.io/github-changelog-generator/ could be used to generate the changelog based on merged PRs and closed issues since the last release tag.

Mullvad VPN

I noticed that since version 0.0.19 Mullvad VPN is no longer supported. Could you please advise why you decided to not support it any longer?

Passworded key files

Please add support for password protected key files. Not all VPNs use username/password auth and use key files per user only.

add indicator to ubuntu version

Can it be possible to add an indicator applet to the Top menu bar (where network, sound, clock are). And if possible have it be able to indicate the state of vpn connection like the network connection applet gets a lock when on VPN.

This would be allowing Ubuntu users to easily see if they are connected or not

Suggestions for new VPN services to be added

Could you please update the list of supported VPN services here on Github? There are several indicated in the screenshot but not mentioned in the list at the bottom of this website.

Private OpenVPN private server with passkey on .ovpn

Hi,

I am on ubuntu mate 18.04
I have installed Fruho 0.0.26, my .ovpn file has a password for decrypt the content keys, Fruho is not asking for this password hence is not connecting. is there a work around this?

Thanks a lot

any option to install your app on Archlinux?

hi, i try to convert the debian install package to run it on Archlinux but dont work... i really need your app, i know this is not a issue but... it is to me and others Arch users.
Thanks and i wait your answer, sorry for this request.

Client freezes when IP cannot be resolved

When the client is launched, it attempts to find the IP address to show it here :

I was using Fruho in a restricted environment and the IP address was not getting resolved. This froze the entire application and had to force kill it. Please look into it, if required I can provide the logs.

P.S : Loved the app :) Keep going folks! A 🍪 for all the developers 😄
