best VPN for linux?
(self.piracy)
Mullvad! They also allow to pay in cash which is really cool
And Monero!
Mullvad from the AUR, it's great.
Proton VPN has Arch installers for their client but they also gives you the option to connect via OpenVPN so that you can use whatever client you want.
I like Proton VPN. If you're on Arch you can download and build their client from the AUR, or by using Pacman. I just use their client, but if you prefer you can also connect via OpenVPN and use something else.
I also use Proton VPN as well as Proton mail, Calendar and drive (proton cloud storage). I am also on arch and quite satisfied with Proton.
PIA for Linux. You download a .run file and install it. It also install a CLI command piactl if you are into scripting. You can use either a Wireguard or OpenVPN connection. You can also do port forwarding.
Mullvad is the best option.
It's cheap, they respect your privacy, and it should already be in the AUR if you are on any Arch based distro.
I use Mullvad and have never had a problem... but they have just stopped allowing port forwarding if that matters to you
With the exception of limiting how many Wireguard configs you can have, only 5.
I believe PIA is on Arch. I've been using it on Windows for years and never had an issue, same of when I used it on Debian for a while.
I hear Mullvad is good too but I'm currently paying half as much for PIA as I would be for Mullvad.
Both Mullvad and PIA are on AUR for Arch, and they both have .deb packages for debian tree. Mullvad has an .rpm for redhat
"Mullvad" with "NextDNS" is my fav combination now. For connecting to my personal servers and network at home, I use WireGuard.
I'm miffed that mullvad did away with recurring subscriptions, so you have to remember to refill the account if you have stuff relying on it.
Yes that's correct... I don't really have anything relying on my connections 24/7 so that's not an issue for me personally.
I use NordVPN, works well with Arch, no gui just terminal, only about three times to get it logged, to the country you want to use, and running
I used to have Nord, it seems a little pricey to me?
I am also using NordVPN. They seem to have always a 'deal' with 60 to 70% off, otherwise it would be too expensive.
But I am using it out of lazyness to look for alternatives as it kind of just works with openVPN on Linux. Maybe there are better VPNs out there.
They often do some promotions, got mine at about half price
Openvpn. Only time I've used something else has been due to work requirements.
ovpn is pretty good so far and supports port forwarding. You can easily create wireguard configs for your system.
OVPN and WG are protocols, not providers.
OP is asking for a service recommendation, not a protocol
I use Mullvad on Arch and it's never given me any trouble. No Flatpak AFAIK but you can get it from the AUR.
Torguard has by far the most feature-packed client for Linux that I've tried. It can kill applications when the VPN disconnects, and you can define scripts you want to run before, during, or after a VPN connection is established.
Why not just use the native OpenVPN or Wireguard client? Most VPN providers support both protocols.
Since you insist on a Flatpak, ProtonVPN has a Flatpak client
Some flavor of Wireguard.
just use nmcli to import your vpn profiles either openvpn or wireguard
OP is asking for a service recommendation, not a protocol
I've reliably used Torguard for at least 15 years. They have clients for many Linux distros, including Arch.
Airvpn and mullvad according to my experience have served me pretty well. Mullvad seems to have disabled something related port forwarding recently. I've been using airvpn, and if u don't mind its slightly old school interface, its the best option(and its pretty cheap as well).
been with windscribe for 5 years now on arch, it works great. There's only a CLI app but it works fine
I don’t know if it’s the best, but proton vpn exists in a flatpak that works without issue. That’s what I use.
You can use any good provider that supports OpenVPN or WineGuard and use default linux clients. Take a look here on how to set it up, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/OpenVPN and here https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/WireGuard And many VPN providers offer official linux GUI. But I recommend using terminal, much more configurable and scriptable, especially if you use it on server. EDIT: Also NetworkManager supports both, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NetworkManager
Not really what OP asked for
