Request to add the HMA VPN commercial provider

[romildo]

I would like to be able to use vopono with the HMA commercial VPN, but this provider is not available yet in vopono.
I am not able to contribute with the code for adding it because I am new to the VPN technology, and I do not program in rust, unfortunately.
Is there any chance that a contributor add the HMA provider to vopono?

Hi,

It seems the config files are publicly available at https://support.hidemyass.com/hc/en-us/articles/202721966-I-need-the-config-files-ovpn-for-setting-up-HMA-VPN-on-my-router-smartphone-etc-Where-can-I-get-them-

I can try to do it when I get some time, but I'd need you to test it as there is no free trial.

But if you want to contribute yourself too, it isn't too complicated, it should be even simpler than the PrivateInternetAccess and NordVPN implementations.

Added in release 0.8.6, note you pass the prefix to the config file with vopono exec.

e.g.:

$ vopono -v exec --provider hma --server laos --protocol OpenVPN firefox-developer-edition

To open firefox-developer-edition with an OpenVPN connection via Laos.

Note it's set to use 8.8.8.8 as the DNS server by default, since HMA do not provide their own.

Thanks for the quick action!
