Not sure if it was just released today, but I got the email update about it just now. I’m pretty excited about this because I mostly just want VPN for web browsing, and the linux app kinda sucks.

Ngl, I’m very surprised and very pleased proton has lasted. They seem to be on track to remaining sustainable and true to their stated goals.
I haven’t run their paid tier VPN yet, because of the linux issues, but the free tier always worked well when I was between providers and deciding who to go with.
In a recent e-mail they mentioned an open Linux dev position, so hopefully the Linux client will catch up soon enough!
What Linux issues are those?
No wireguard. Unable to launch on login for some DE.
Wireguard is up. Cannot speak to the other instances.
Also slow ass GUI, no auto-connect on startup. I wrote a script for this. Luckily the offer a CLI
the proton VPN client on linux is unfortunately absolute garbage and lacks a ton of features and takes forever to connect
I don’t use the Client, but the OpenVPN scripts. No problem so far.
