Proton vpn linux install

How to install a VPN on Kali Linux

This package contains the repository configuration and keys that are required to install the Proton VPN app.

2. Install the Proton VPN repository

In the terminal, enter the following text (followed by ).

sudo apt-get install protonvpn-stable-release_1.0.3_all.deb

Replace with the path to where you download the file. For example:

sudo apt-get install ~/Downloads/protonvpn-stable-release_1.0.3_all.deb

Please don’t try to check the GPG signature of this release package (dpkg-sig –verify). Our internal release process is split into several part and the release package is signed with a GPG key, and the repo is signed with another GPG key. So the keys don’t match.

If you want to check the repo package integrity, you can check its checksum with the following command:

echo "c409c819eed60985273e94e575fd5dfd8dd34baef3764fc7356b0f23e25a372c protonvpn-stable-release_1.0.3_all.deb" | sha256sum --check -

3. Update the apt-get package list

The following command updates the list of available packages and their versions. Doing this allows you to install the Proton VPN App. Run:

sudo apt-get install protonvpn

Reboot your Linux PC and log in to the Proton VPN app with your Proton Account details. If you do not already have a Proton Account, you can sign up for a Proton VPN Free plan for Linux .

The Proton VPN Linux app is now ready to secure your internet browsing and allow you to access the free and open internet. However, please note that the system tray icon may not work on Kali Linux . This is because the system tray icon requires dependencies that have been deprecated in Kali.

Notes

1. Uninstall the Proton VPN app

To remove the Proton VPN app from your Kali system, open the terminal and run:

sudo apt-get autoremove protonvpn

Remove any leftover files:

2. Disable the kill switch if you have uninstalled the official app

You should disable the kill switch before uninstalling our official app. Failure to do this will likely prevent you from accessing the internet. Fortunately, this is easily fixed:

a) Open the terminal and use the following command to identify connections belonging to Proton VPN:

nmcli connection show --active

b) You will see a list of active connections. Look for any of them with the prefix pvpn- This usually includes pvpn-killswitch and pvpn-ipv6leak-protection , and may include pvpn-routed-killswitch . Delete all these connections using the following command:

nmcli connection delete [connection name]

nmcli connection delete pvpn-killswitch

c) Run the following command again to ensure that you have deleted all Proton VPN connections:

nmcli connection show --active

If any remain, delete them as described above.

3. Required dependencies

You’ll need one of the following Linux keyrings installed on your Kali system for our Linux app to work. But the chances are that one of them is already installed (you don’t want both, though, as this can cause problems).

Also needed (but probably already installed) is:

4. Help Proton iron out bugs with the early release version of this app

Proton is a community-based project that relies on your support. If you want to help us identify bugs before this app is made available to the general public, you can download the following early access version instead of the one we link to in step 1 of this guide.

To check the integrity of the package, use the following command:

echo "caba770e3544a4f33b7d5718dedd8bc1d06cfcd2b2f8c4f33b5a42d15a78e74a protonvpn-beta-release_1.0.3_all.deb" | sha256sum --check -

Setup instructions are otherwise as described above.

Helping us in this way will give you access to the latest features before they are available for general release, but it’s only recommended if you are an experienced Linux user who is relaxed about your threat model.

How to install a VPN on Ubuntu

Our app officially supports Ubuntu 20.04+ (LTS and non-LTS versions). It should work on most distros based on these versions of Ubuntu, but we haven’t tested them and therefore do not officially support them.

1. Download the setup package for the Proton VPN repository

This package contains the repository configuration and keys that are required to install the Proton VPN app. It is not the app itself.

2. Install the Proton VPN repository

Double-click the downloaded DEB package to install the repository using your default package manager.

Please don’t try to check the GPG signature of this release package (dpkg-sig –verify). Our internal release process is split into several part and the release package is signed with a GPG key, and the repo is signed with another GPG key. So the keys don’t match.

If you want to check the repo package integrity, you can check its checksum with the following command:

echo "c68a0b8dad58ab75080eed7cb989e5634fc88fca051703139c025352a6ee19ad protonvpn-stable-release_1.0.3-2_all.deb" | sha256sum --check -

3. Update the apt-get package list

The following command updates the list of available packages and their versions. Doing this allows you to install the Proton VPN App. Open Terminal and enter:

sudo apt-get install protonvpn

Linux system tray icon (optional)

If you want a system tray icon that stays active when you close the main Proton VPN window and allows you to easily Quick Connect or Disconnect, open Terminal and run:

sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-appindicator gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1

If asked to choose your default displays manager , enter the correct option. If you’re not sure which it is, use the following command to find out:

grep '/usr/s\?bin' /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service

Restart your system and log in with your Proton account credentials. If you do not yet have an account, you can sign up for a Free Proton VPN plan.

You can now connect to the internet privately and securely using Proton VPN.

Notes

1. Uninstall the Proton VPN app

Use the following commands to uninstall our official app for Linux:

sudo apt-get autoremove protonvpn

Remove any leftover files:

2. How to disable the kill switch if you have uninstalled the app

You can easily turn off the kill switch inside our Linux app, but this isn’t possible if you have already uninstalled it. In this case, you can remove the kill switch and restore access to the internet as follows:

a) Identify the Proton VPN connection name with the command:

nmcli connection show --active

This will show a list of your system’s active connections.

b) Look for any connections that begin with prefix pvpn- This usually includes pvpn-killswitch and pvpn-ipv6leak-protection, and may include pvpn-routed-killswitch. Delete all these connections using the following command:

nmcli connection delete [connection name]

nmcli connection delete pvpn-killswitch

c) Re-run the following command to check that all Proton VPN connections have been removed:

nmcli connection show --active

If you see any Proton VPN connections left, delete them as described above.

3. Required dependencies

Most distros have one of these dependencies installed, so usually no further action is needed. If neither dependency is installed on your system, you will need to install one of them for the Proton VPN app to work:

Note that we do not recommend installing both of them, as conflicts may occur.

(Again, this is pre-installed on most Linux distributions):

4. Try out the early release version of this app

If you wish to help Proton by finding and reporting bugs in our software, you can download the early-access version of our Linux app. Doing this gives you access to new features before they are released publicly, but you may encounter stability and other issues while using the app.

To try out the early-access version of our Linux app, you must first uninstall the release version of the app (as described above).

Then download the following package instead of the one linked to in step 1 of the guide above.

You can then install and set up Proton VPN, as described above. If you wish to revert to using the release version of our app, uninstall the early access version first.

Instructions for the setup and use are otherwise identical to those for the release version of our app. To check the integrity of the package, use the following command:

echo "74b37593b4e9d49842c11cd921635eb29e0a190ab16f56c53d3f41f9e1bc5707 protonvpn-beta-release_1.0.3-2_all.deb" | sha256sum --check -

Warning: We do not recommend using our early access app if your threat model calls for high security or if you’re not experienced using Linux.
