[ From reddit announcement ]
Today, we’re excited to announce that the new Proton VPN Linux app is now officially available for everyone.
With the new Linux application, you get a host of features:
- Protocols: OpenVPN-UDP and OpenVPN-TCP
- VPN Accelerator
- Moderate NAT
- NetShield Ad-blocker
- Kill switch
- Port forwarding
- Auto connect at app startup
- Pin servers to tray
Secure Core support will be added in the coming months as well. And though WireGuard is not yet supported, we’ve implemented OpenVPN DCO on our servers, which gives you identical results in terms of performance.
Find more information on how to install it in our KB article here.
For those of you wondering, in the coming months, we’ll be working on a new Linux CLI based on your feedback.
If you have the required package management software installed (apt for Debian/Ubuntu-based distros, for example) it works for any distro based on that software as far as I’ve tried. The Ubuntu version should work on Mint. That said, I haven’t tried it too many times that way, so that’s no absolute guarantee. It would be great to get a flatpak version so that it could be easily installed on most distros.
