Install the VPN

You need to add the evio repository to your node - this step needs only be done once for a host:

sudo bash
# echo "deb [trusted=yes] https://apt.fury.io/evio/ /" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/fury.list
# apt update

To install the package:

# apt install evio

If the installation fails due to the libffi-dev dependence, you might need to add that manually:

# apt-get install libffi-dev
# apt install evio

Edit Configuration File

After installation, but before starting, configure your node by editing /etc/opt/evio/config.json. The easiest way to get started with a working configuration is to request a trial account. You can also use the template from this page and add XMPP credentials, setting the IP address, and applying other configurations as needed

Run Service and disable multicast

Replace appbrXXXXX with the name of your Evio bridge in the command below to disable multicast:

sudo systemctl start evio sudo ip link set appbrXXXXX multicast off

Additionally, use systemctl to start/stop/restart/status evio.

Dependencies

The installer has dependencies on, and will install python3 (>=3.8), python3-dev (>=3.8), python3-pip, iproute2, bridge-utils.

By default, the following files and directories are created:

  • /opt/evio/tincan
  • /opt/evio/controller/
  • /etc/opt/evio/config.json

Disabling or removing the software

To disable Start on Boot:

sudo systemctl disable evio

To remove the package:

sudo apt remove -y evio
