💖 RISEUP-VPN 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is RISEUP-VPN(1) — a User Commands page, section 1, and it's genuinely iconic. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

riseup-vpn — the easy, fast, and secure VPN service from riseup.net. yes, all three. easy AND fast AND secure. she's an overachiever, we love that for her.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

riseup-vpn [options]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. you run it, you hand it some options, she does the thing. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

RiseupVPN: a fast and secure VPN. Powered by Bitmask.

fr fr that's the whole description. short, sweet, main character energy. no filler, no fluff, just a VPN that shows up and does its job. periodt. 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

this is the part where she really ate. every single flag, right here, no skipping, i would never do that to you:

  • -h, --help — shows you the help for the commandline options. your "wait what does this do again" bestie. 🫶
  • --help-all — shows you the help including the generic Qt options. it's the deluxe version, she brought extra. ✨
  • -v, --version — tells you the version info. identity check, she knows who she is. 💁
  • -n, --no-systray — do NOT show the systray icon. lowkey so useful if you're running it together with a Gnome Shell extension, or if you wanna control the VPN by other means. no little icon lurking in your corner. 🙈
  • -w, --web-api — enable the Web API. she's online and she's taking requests. 🌐
  • -i, --install-helpers — install the helpers. ⚠️ Linux only, and it requires sudo, so be a big girl about it.
  • -o, --obfs4 — use obfs4 to obfuscate the traffic, if it's available in the provider. stealth mode activated, nobody can tell what you're up to. 🥷
  • -a, --enable-autostart — enable autostart. she just... appears when you boot up. queen behavior. 👑
  • --web-port <port> — the Web API port. default: 8080. yes, the default is literally 8080, write it down bestie.
  • --start-vpn <status> — start the VPN, and you pass it either 'on' or 'off'. those are the only two moods she has. 🎀
💖 reminder bestie: those option names, values, and that default 8080 are all EXACTLY as written. don't go renaming anything, i'm watching. 💀

🌈 that's the whole page 🌈
