Proton VPN has been one of the best VPNs for years, but the experience has never quite been up to par with Proton VPN on Mac, Windows, or mobile platforms. That's now changing, as Proton is releasing a feature-complete version of its desktop app for Linux PCs.

If you want to check out the new desktop app, it's officially supported on Debian, Ubuntu, and Fedora.

Proton said in its announcement,

"Proton’s mission is to offer users a better, private alternative to the products and services that dominate the internet today. To do that, the company has to offer choice and listen to user needs. By offering a fully equipped Linux Proton VPN app, Proton is helping users who want to break free from big tech and use a free operating system developed by someone other than Microsoft or Apple."

personally i switch from using two VPNs

ProtonVPN free version

Mullvad VPN because you aren't tied into payments you manually pay for what you want/need all at the same price no % of for 1yr/2yr subscription nonsense you pay £4 and change for 1mth < if you want a year pay for a year same prices for ALL

i have my reasons for using both - proton free version is a good service for normal internet stuff

i hate companies that try and tie you into 1-2yr subscriptions by offering deals for VPNs

@ecksmc I'm thinking of trying it after my current account lapses in another year or so, if I still need one. I've used stuff of theirs over the years here and there, and they've never offended against me that I know of. And I'm prickly.

@AskTheDevil Proton offer a good free version for the VPN also

worth trying before you commit

obvs you are limited with features using free version but it gives at least a guide as to the service and stability of the app
