Introducing the new ProtonVPN Linux app
As a supporter of open source software, Proton is keenly aware that Linux support is often viewed as an afterthought by most VPN services. From the start, this open source operating system has been a priority for us, and for many years we have supported our Linux users with a command-line tool, developed together with the Proton community.
However, the growing popularity of the platform over the last couple of years has led to more and more requests for a fully featured ProtonVPN Linux app with a graphical interface.
We are therefore pleased to announce the launch of the ProtonVPN Linux app. It features an elegant and fully featured graphical user interface, making it easy to use on the Linux desktop. ProtonVPN is the only VPN service to offer a full-featured, open source, audited, and free Linux VPN application.
