It uses classic +confinement because it needs to install bitmask-root in the system, and a +polkit policy file so that bitmask-root and openvpn can be executed without +asking user for permission each time. + +Usage +----- + +Until the snap package gets approved in the snap store, you can use the snap as follows:: + + wget https://downloads.leap.se/RiseupVPN/linux/riseup-vpn_0.10.4_amd64.snap + sudo apt install snapd + sudo snap install riseup-vpn_0.10.4_amd64.snap --dangerous --classic + +That should have made a new application called RiseupVPN in your launchers. +You can also launch it manually like this:: + + /snap/bin/riseup-vpn.launcher + + |
