But when I try to start the app, it says once again that it cant connect without the daemon.
And the only way for me to run the daemon is to open a terminal window and manually start it :/
Is there any solution to this?.... I have successfully ran MullvadVPN on my computer before.......

What is the command you’re using to try to start or enable the daemon?

According to the package build (https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/t...d-vpn#n220) the service unit is named “mullvad-daemon,” so try enabling mullvad-daemon.service

Code:
sudo systemctl enable mullvad-daemon.service

Also, you’ll need to start the daemon too. Enabling it won’t start it until next time systemd does sweep for services that are enabled (next time the system starts basically).

You can either reboot, or just use

Code:
sudo systemctl start mullvad-daemon.service

To start the daemon.
The command itself seems to have worked, and there seems to be some progress since I can now start the mullvad gui from command line,
but when I try to connect, it still says 'failed to connect to daemon' for some reason. Im sorry...... it should work by now, I have no clue why it isnt running. I want it to work, I dont want to make you disappointed in me if I cant fix this when you are helping me...... Smile Im thinking if it may be some issue that it cant work on Arch, or something? But its strange, because I have had it running before.... Smile
