I’m looking for a VPN to replace my old one since moving to arch; so this VPN must be available on Flatpak or Arch linux. any reccs?

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.
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 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
.runfile and install it. It also install a CLI commandpiactlif you are into scripting. You can use either a Wireguard or OpenVPN connection. You can also do port forwarding.“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.
Openvpn. Only time I’ve used something else has been due to work requirements.
I use Mullvad on Arch and it’s never given me any trouble. No Flatpak AFAIK but you can get it from the AUR.
Why not just use the native OpenVPN or Wireguard client? Most VPN providers support both protocols.
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.
Huh, TIL. Did they hire the same people to make their site as Mullvad lol
OP is asking for a service recommendation, not a protocol
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.
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
AirVPN has a number of Linux options running through openVPN or wireguard https://airvpn.org/linux/
just use nmcli to import your vpn profiles either openvpn or wireguard
