Linux client: desktop and server alike

The Linux build supports Ubuntu 20.04+, Debian 11+ and related distributions with both command-line and graphical use, which suits development and self-hosted setups.

Linux client

What Linux use feels like

Connection flow, permissions and everyday habits are adapted to the Linux platform.

Multi-distribution support

Verified on Ubuntu, Debian and their derivatives with a generic install script, so there is nothing to compile yourself.

CLI and GUI modes

Desktop environments can use the graphical interface while servers start the client with command-line flags and register it as a system service.

Transparent proxy and routing

Transparent proxying and custom routing rules let one machine act as a gateway that provides an exit for other devices on the LAN.

Installation

Installing on Linux

Three steps in order and you are connected; support can help if a step fails.

01

Download the install script

Fetch the file for your distribution, make it executable and run it to complete installation.

02

Configure account and subscription

Enter your account details on first run; the client pulls the available node list and writes it to the local configuration.

03

Start the service and verify

Start the service, then check your exit IP from the command line to confirm traffic is leaving through the chosen node.

Tips

Details Linux users should know

These settings directly affect connection stability and battery behaviour.

Platform questions

Linux questions

Permissions, background behaviour and compatibility on Linux.

Creating a virtual adapter and editing the routing table requires elevated privileges. You can instead use local-proxy-port mode, which does not need root.

Yes. With transparent proxying and forwarding rules configured, other devices on the LAN can use the machine as their exit without installing anything.

Common ARM64 devices such as a Raspberry Pi or some NAS units work. Confirm architecture and kernel version before installing.
