Hello all!

I have been out of the piracy game since a little before mullvad lost port-forwarding; I know these things are ever changing, and to my understanding ivpn is a good bet at this moment in time.

I was wondering what everyone else has been using. As well as if anyone has tried the gui client for ivpn either built from source or the AUR build(I do use arch btw).

I am open to any vpn client that has a good reputation in the community, and build-able from a repository; A gui is preferred but not necessary, and absolutely NO account creation (Except for generic account numbers of course).

Thanks in advance for anyone who takes the time to answer.

Mullvad. The others have horrible apps on Linux.

Tbf, you don’t really need any app. With Mullvad I just download configuration files and import them in KDE. It really is dead simple. Now enabling VPN at will is just two clicks with the possibility do make it automatic with three to four clicks.

ProtonVPN’s interface is fine

Is it? I couldn’t get it to auto connect at start. Which makes the all idea of having a VPN senseless IMHO.

It integrates like a normal VPN in GNOME, you get a button in the quick settings tray.

Mullvad doesn’t support port forwarding anymore. I use airvpn and you can just use the native WireGuard (or OpenVPN if you’r crazy) apps on different platforms if you want.

Wait why “if you’re crazy”? I know wireguard is faster but is there something I’m missing?

you should use openvpn in difficult network configurations such as college dorm blocking everything except tcp 443 and tcp 80 or with old clients that don’t support wireguard

No, you are not missing anything. Wireguard is just much better.

I use Wireguard on Mullvad. I don’t know what you’re talking about 🤷‍♂️

he is saying mullvad doesn’t support port forwarding anymore, which is true. As a long time mullvad customer, I’m now looking for alternatives
