D-Bus Validation Gap

Section titled “D-Bus Validation Gap”

The adapter layer method signatures have not yet been validated against a live OpenVPN 3 Linux installation. Run the following to perform live validation:

Terminal window
ovpn-gui doctor dbus-surface

The adapters should be treated as a typed integration draft until this validation is complete.

No Flatpak or AppImage

Section titled “No Flatpak or AppImage”

Native DEB and RPM packages are the only supported distribution formats. This is intentional: the app requires deep D-Bus and desktop integration (system tray, file associations, URI handler, XDG autostart) that is difficult or impossible to provide from a sandboxed container.
