Windscribe for Gentoo
====================

This package installs Windscribe's official prebuilt amd64 Debian release. It
extracts the application files without running Debian maintainer scripts; the
helper account, service definitions, and Gentoo update marker are managed by
Portage.

The privileged windscribe-helper service is required for VPN connections. The
application's main executable runs with the windscribe group so it can
communicate with that helper. Enable the service for your init system after
installing the package:

  systemctl enable --now windscribe-helper

  rc-update add windscribe-helper default
  rc-service windscribe-helper start

Use Portage to update the client:

  emerge --ask --oneshot net-vpn/windscribe-bin

The package marks the platform as Gentoo so Windscribe's updater will refuse
to install Debian, RPM, or Arch packages outside Portage.
