[ 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.

    Tried it in debian today. Yeah, its bad that the app need to be open inorder to have connection. They could’ve made it go background ( like telegram or discord does ), which would be better.

      This is how the old version worked too. Honestly just seems bizarre to release a VPN app without this feature.
