VPN for Linux: a detailed guide
What you need
- A distribution that uses DEB (Debian, Ubuntu, Mint), RPM (Fedora, openSUSE) or Arch Linux packages.
- Your architecture:
uname -mprintsx86_64for x64 oraarch64for ARM64. - An active MaskNet subscription. Don't have one yet — choose a plan.
Installing the package
- Download the Happ package for your distribution from the link above. Happ is built for x64; for ARM64 there is only INCY.
- Install the package: for DEB —
sudo apt install ./package-name.deb, for RPM —sudo dnf install ./package-name.rpm, for Arch —sudo pacman -U package-name.pkg.tar.zst. - Open your MaskNet account in a browser on this computer and click "Add subscription" — Happ opens with the subscription already added.
- Pick a country and connect.
INCY comes as DEB and RPM packages for x64 and ARM64 and as an Arch Linux package for x64. The developer still calls the desktop versions pre-alpha.
How to check that it works
Open Check my IP — with a working connection it says "Your connection is protected by MaskNet". Run the leak test: if a resolver is in Russia, check which DNS is set in the system and in the browser.
Smart routing sends the traffic of Russian services — Gosuslugi, banks, marketplaces — outside the VPN tunnel: they see your Russian IP, and you don't need to turn MaskNet off.
If something went wrong
The package won't install+
Check the architecture with uname -m: x86_64 needs an x64 package, aarch64 needs ARM64. Only INCY has ARM64 builds.
Happ did not open after “Add subscription”+
Your account must be open on the same computer where Happ is installed.
It won't connect+
Turn on automatic date and time, switch networks, pick another server. Details — in Happ won't connect.
In INCY it works the same way — the walkthrough is in INCY won't connect.
