Brien, Thanks for checking that out. I will play around with the KeepSolid repos after they get back to me. I think they may not use repos anymore, as these instructions ( https://www.vpnunlimitedapp.com/en/info/manuals/linux) just have people download the .deb and install it when there is an update. Very strange. Thanks!
