Upgrade Transition Instructions

How to Transition to the New VPN.

Upgrade Transition Instructions

Important:

If you are brand new, skip to step 2.

Step 1 is only for already existing subscriptions.

Step 1: Transfer Over Profiles


The first step for existing clients to transfer over their subscriptions and profiles to the new system and app. If you hit “sync” under “Create Profile”, it will take you to the transition dialogue.


Optional CLI command:

If you have 6 profiles already, and therefore can’t “create” a new one to sync, try this command in your terminal from within the folder with the original AppImage:

./Simplified_Privacy-x86_64.AppImage --migrate  

Both these transfer options just move over the subscriptions to a hydra-veil folder in .config.

Previous Legacy:

If you need access to the PREVIOUS legacy client to transition over, here it is:
https://api.simplifiedprivacy.is/downloads/appimages/1.2.4/Simplified_Privacy-x86_64.AppImage



Step 2: Download HydraVeil Client

It uses the same pre-requisites as the original.

Download:

https://api.simplifiedprivacy.is/downloads/linux-x86_64/clients/v1.0.0/appimage/hydra-veil-x86_64.AppImage

Pre-Reqs

These pre-reqs are the same as the other ones you should already have, please see the install page



Step 3: Sync HydraVeil

You need to sync with the new server system to transfer over.
