    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.

    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.

    “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.

    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.

    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.

    I use Mullvad on Arch and it’s never given me any trouble. No Flatpak AFAIK but you can get it from the AUR.

    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

    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.

    just use nmcli to import your vpn profiles either openvpn or wireguard
