As described in title, I can’t install the vpn client on ubuntu 24.04. Is it not supported? When will it be supported if it’s in the works? Thanks.

It’s not listed on the homepage yet but it is currently in the repository. The [**repository documentation**](https://docs.pritunl.com/docs/repo) has all the repositories listed.

thanks for the reply. but installation fails btw, here’s running sudo apt update:

```auto

The build script wasn’t updated with the new releases during the build. The package should now be available on the stable repository for 24.04.

I’ve added the repositories I think I need, but it still fails on dependencies on pritunl-ndppd and python3-distutil

I have most of the packages updated for 24.04 and other distributions. All of these will be uploaded to the [**unstable repository**](https://docs.pritunl.com/docs/repo#unstable-repositories) today. Currently the ArchLinux builds are failing for all the packages, this will delay moving anything to the stable repository.

It’s not recommended to use Ubuntu or Ubuntu 24.04, Oracle Linux 8 should be used. There is still no MongoDB build available for 24.04 so the database would need to either run on another server or attempt to run the 22.04 build on 24.04.

The pyMongo v4 builds are now in the unstable repository, other than some incomplete web UI code these should be ready to use. It may get moved to stable in 2-4 weeks. Below are the install instructions for 24.04 using the unstable repository.
