<\/span>The Best Linux VPN\u2019s:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>1. NordVPN:<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In August 2018, the company created a dedicated Linux app. The command-line app lacks a GUI (graphical user interface), but it is still more easier to set up and use than manually configuring servers. The Linux app has many of the same fantastic features found on other operating systems, such as an automated kill switch, ad blocker, and anti-malware filter. If you like doing things the old-fashioned way, Nord has a large user base of tutorials, including full Linux setup instructions for OpenVPN, IKEv2, and PPTP protocols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NordVPN, headquartered in Panama, supports up to six simultaneous connections, has a zero-logs policy, and specialized servers for streaming, P2P, and enhanced security. It’s compatible with websites and apps such as Netflix, Hulu, and BBC iPlayer. Over 5,200 ultra-fast servers are available in more than 60 countries. Every connection is encrypted with AES 256-bit, and the IKEv2 protocol has perfect forward secrecy, which ensures that no one can decrypt previous sessions even if they obtain the encryption key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surfshark:<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Surfshark users can now use a command-line software for Linux that runs on Debian and Ubuntu distributions. You can choose any of the available server locations from a list and be connected in seconds. Surfshark is great for those who wish to stream while traveling overseas because it allows secure access to services like Netflix, Hulu, BBC iPlayer, and Amazon Prime Video. The service also allows torrenting and does not store any logs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Surfshark is the only provider on this list that allows an infinite number of concurrent connections per account. That makes it an excellent value if you share with family or housemates. Live chat help is available around the clock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aside from Linux, programs are available for Windows, MacOS, iOS, and Android.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ExpressVPN:<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ExpressVPN launched its official Linux app in April 2016. It uses a command-line interface rather than the desktop GUI seen on Windows and Mac, but it is still far easier than downloading and managing config files for each server. The server list is always up to date, and users may easily switch between UDP and TCP using the OpenVPN protocol. ExpressVPN is slightly more expensive than some competitors, but it does include a 30-day money-back guarantee and achieved significantly quicker connection speeds in our testing. ExpressVPN supports Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Kali, and CentOS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ExpressVPN ranks high on our ranking because it delivers in all major categories, including privacy, speed, and customer service. It also functions consistently with Netflix, Hulu, BBC iPlayer, and HBO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
