How to Install a Free VPN on Linux (Any Distro) 

i now recommend that you use the UDP config file installed. It might be a bit tedious if you want to have different countries, but running an VPN executable in the background seems more troublesome: protonvpn.com/support/vpn-config-download/

Thanks! After watching this video a few times, I finally figure it out, was able to turn off the VPN, and restart the VPN.

Thanks was stuck with openvpn yesterday but after watching this it helped in minutes

Hi Mark. I'm such an old novice I probly shouldn't be attempting this. When I enter 'cd downloads/' it says 'bash: cd: downloads/: No such file or directory' Any ideas where I'm going wrong? I have definitely downloaded the openvpn file.

you earned a subscribe

how can i exit vpn i cannot understand ?

Thanks!

Thank youuuu!!!!!

Nice video, thanks for share.

what the sound when something processing in terminal

Thank you, dear

thank you still works 2023

Thanks bro.

Authentification Failed when i tried to connect. any solution bro?

Do I need this while using Tor?

Do I need to download the protonvpn-cli client, using centos

When I got to the last step I got a message saying this: Wed Jul 15 23:43:08 2020 AUTH: Received control message: AUTH_FAILED Wed Jul 15 23:43:08 2020 SIGTERM[soft,auth-failure] received, process exiting How do I get past this

Its better you can also install the proton app and can change vpn servers... If you are in KDE then you will need to make allow always when promped and then you can use it as same in Windows... So this is the harder process and Proton VPN always lacks up-time in servers so that is more had to keep saving server...and run it through terminal... Hope this helps you...😅

You are a god

I can’t understand the first command. Sudo apt install openvpn resolve then I don’t know what comes after resolve thao

Hola muchas gracias, solo esta soportado para Ubuntu 20.04 y tengo ubuntu 18.04 ;(

Thanks

I'm sorry but this doesn't hide our ipv6. It shows my exact location in ipv6. Just try whatismyip Any solution??

Hey, your video was quite useful and informative, But I'm facing one issue Options error: --up script fails with '/etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf': No such file or directory (errno=2) Options error: Please correct this error. Please Do help me out!🙁

06.06.2024 - For the free tier there are only United States, Netherlands and Japan servers available. Very annoying

Kudos!

Thank you now i can hax for fun

WHICH DISTRO YOU USE?IT LOOKS COOL.

Thank u sir

thanks man...

Cool beans!

thanks

is it able to 32 bits?

I think UDP is for wireless not for faster service

does this free version not protect torrent sites?

How do you start it again?

How do you stop the VPN and then start it back.

better to just download the gui application for linux, theres also multiple free servers available without subscription. Much easier to use, dont have to keep terminal open

Hey, does this support P2P content?

it's paid vpn?!?

Op bro

helpfull

Make more videos based on linux

Arhh arrhh yeah aarhh..thanks arhh

is not free for me :c

very misleading, protonvpn only works with systemd init system while there are (surprise surprise) many different init systems availible which arent supported by this vpn.

There is a better method using CLI on their website.
