Sorry for the delayed reply, I was traveling. Thanks, Magic Banana, the manual download method worked. Problem solved. :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] VPN connecting to server but no connection to Internet
After more research, I found that Trisquel doesn't implement a firewall by default during installation. Using Synaptic, I installed GUFW. I'm still not sure why my VPN will connect, but blocks all requests (this happened before GUFW). It may require permissions or need to be set-up using terminal or the VPN may not support the kernel version.The research continues (that's part of the fun, right). Hopefully the firewall info will be helpful.
[Trisquel-users] Re : VPN connecting to server but no connection to Internet
Netfilter is in the kernel. Gufw is a graphical interface to ufw, which manages that firewall, through iptables, shipped by both Trisquel and Trisquel Mini.
Re: [Trisquel-users] VPN connecting to server but no connection to Internet
Yes. I didn't realize Netfilter was in the kernel. I have skimmed though the F.A.Q and documentation but not intensively. I have Trisquel Mini on another low-powered machine and have made a few tweaks. I really enjoy both and think Trisquel is the best GNU/Linux distro. I'm familiar with Gufw from another distro.. The VPN support walked me through setting up ufw with kill-switch through terminal (was having dns leaks) in a different distro, but it locked everything down too much. I'm still pretty new to Linux and not a power terminal user. However, I enjoy the learning curve and appreciate this forum greatly. I recently acquired a libreboot thinkpad X200s and couldn't be happier. True Freedom! A trusted VPN that is not leaking dns is nice to have for daily use, but I know there are alternatives. Thanks for your reply and helping a newbie along the journey.

Okay, so my friend has an X201, so I'm looking at this, http://tim.id.au/laptops/lenovo/thinkpad%20x200%20x200s%20x200si%20x201%20x201i%20x201s.pdf and I see a "Parts List" section. On page 168 (176 in the pdf) it looks like the WiFi card is labeled "7", so I should look up by FRU all of the WiFi cards listed on pages 190-192 (198-200 in the pdf) and check h-node to see if any of them work with free software? signature.asc Description: PGP signature
