Error: Wireless interface 'wlan0' detected. DO NOT run this script on your PC or Mac!

Hello Lin Song.
When I try to run the "sudo sh vpnsetup.sh" on my PC, the error appear.
My environment is Ubuntu 16.04.
I use the ifconfig to see my network adapter is "wlan0".
Should I change the network adapter name to solve the problem?
Thank you

@luckzhiwei Hello! The VPN setup scripts should NOT be run on your PC or Mac, it should only be used on a dedicated server or VPS. There are checks that try to prevent this.

If you know what you are doing and are certain that you want to run this on a server at home, however, you can comment out these lines [1] before running the script.

@hwdsl2 I read your readme.md. You suggest running this script on the Amazon EC2 or VPS.Can I run the script on the aliyun ECS?

[hwdsl2]

@luckzhiwei Yes, you can use any server provider you like. Be sure to open UDP ports 500 and 4500 for the VPN. For Aliyun, see #433.
