Troubleshooting
Below are listed some points which may need to be addressed when testing NymVPN alpha. If you crashed into any errors which are not listed, please contact us at the testing workshop or in the NymVPN Matrix channel.
Running GUI failed due to TOML parse error
If you see this error when running NymVPN alpha desktop, it’s because the older versions needed entry location in config.toml configuration file. From v0.0.3 the entry location is selected directly by the user in the application. This error is due to an old app-data.toml config in your computer.

Simply delete this file app-data.toml from the path listed in the error message. In the example above it would be /home/companero/.local/share/nym-vpn/app-data.toml.
The application will create a new one on startup.
