Bug Reports and Feature Requests

RiseupVPN is built using a free software program called bitmask-vpn.

Step 1: Search to see if the bug has already been reported.

Step 2: Register an account with 0xacab.org and log in.

Step 3: Create a new bug report or feature request.

Please include the following information in your bug report:

  • Steps to reproduce the bug
  • What is the expected behaviour and what do you see
  • A screenshot if is something visual
  • Your macOS version
  • The logs of the program

Get the logs

There are three log files each for a different component of the client:

  • The systray log: /Users/<your user>/Library/Preferences/leap/systray.log
  • The priviledged helper: /Applications/RiseupVPN/RiseupVPN.app/Contents/helper/helper.log
  • The openvpn process: /Applications/RiseupVPN/RiseupVPN.app/Contents/helper/openvpn.log

When reporting a bug it is very useful to include the log files.

Source code

RiseupVPN’s clients are based on the open source software Bitmask. The code for the macOS client can be found here.
