wine1.3.1: wine C:\Program\ Files\Hotspot\ Shield\bin\openvpntray.exe
> > log.txt 2&>1

After downloading the most recent Hotspot Shield install executable, and
installing it successfully, upon first run I see the tray icon noting the
program is running but when I try to turn on the connection via right clicking
the icon then clicking "Connect/ON" my browser opens a new tab, attempting to
go to:

http://127.0.0.1:895/config/?action=connect&lang=eng&afd=1282707789&...

but Firefox just notes "Problem loading page".

Hello,

the "HotspotShieldService" service tries to bind to port < 1024 = restricted in
Linux.
That's something out of the scope of Wine.

Seems hardcoded ... you could try to patch the software to use a different port

This is invalid rather than wontfix, as it's a Linux bug/feature, not one we
can address in Wine.  You can address it by changing your Linux config (or
patching the kernel).  See e.g.:

Juan:

Thanks for the suggestions of authbind, however, due to a current limitation in
WINE, authbind cannot act on it as per added bug URL.

As well, the same URL demonstrates it's not a firewall issue as I had
127.0.0.1:895 open in all directions, TCP & UDP.
