The aim of Voptop is to create the possibility to telephone anonymously within a closed network & to hamper the tapping of phone calls by hiding them. The applications related to Voptop & all associated services are free of charge for private users as a matter of principle. Voptop is financed by advertising venue solely. For this purpose ads from different providers are taken out on the Voptop webpage. Within the Voptop client itself ads are taken out in discreet banner ads. Furthermore an ad is being played instead of a dial tone. In the foreseeable future we will also offer a fee-based ad-free client. Nevertheless the ad-sponsored client will continue to be offered. * Instant messaging * Video telephony * Internet telephony (VoIP) * Desktop sharing ### Package name * voptop --- ### License * unset --- ### Last updated * 30 May 2024 - latest/stable * 12 October 2025 - latest/edge --- ### Websites * [www.voptop.com](https://www.voptop.com "https://www.voptop.com") --- ### Contact * [robert.stiehler@voptop.com](mailto:robert.stiehler@voptop.com "mailto:robert.stiehler@voptop.com") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/voptop/arch#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on Arch Linux and install Voptop Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/) The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites) installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following: ``` git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git cd snapd makepkg -si ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service ``` To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install Voptop To install Voptop, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install voptop ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
