I solved the problem for myself by commenting out the problematic lines.

Code: Select all

# OpenVPN for Surfshark

client
dev tun
proto udp
setenv FRIENDLY_NAME "Surfshark VPN: United Kingdom, London"
remote uk-lon.prod.surfshark.com 1194
#resolv-retry infinite

#tun-mtu-extra 32

Have the same problem. Is it really the best possible solution for this?...
I mean it worked just fine, but can someone tell if it's safe to use this method? Thanks anyway
