Today, we’re excited to announce that the new Proton VPN Linux app is now officially available for everyone.
With the new Linux application, you get a host of features:
Protocols: OpenVPN-UDP and OpenVPN-TCP
VPN Accelerator
Moderate NAT
NetShield Ad-blocker
Kill switch
Port forwarding
Auto connect at app startup
Pin servers to tray
Secure Core support will be added in the coming months as well. And though WireGuard is not yet supported, we’ve implemented OpenVPN DCO on our servers, which gives you identical results in terms of performance.
Find more information on how to install it in our KB article here.
For those of you wondering, in the coming months, we’ll be working on a new Linux CLI based on your feedback.

Mine updated to the new version a couple days ago and there doesn’t seem to be a way to close the window without canceling the VPN connection anymore?

This is how the old version worked too. Honestly just seems bizarre to release a VPN app without this feature.
