Mullvad! They also allow to pay in cash which is really cool

[–] uglytruck@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

Mullvad from the AUR, it's great.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Proton VPN has Arch installers for their client but they also gives you the option to connect via OpenVPN so that you can use whatever client you want.

Mullvad is the best option.

It's cheap, they respect your privacy, and it should already be in the AUR if you are on any Arch based distro.

I use Mullvad and have never had a problem... but they have just stopped allowing port forwarding if that matters to you

I believe PIA is on Arch. I've been using it on Windows for years and never had an issue, same of when I used it on Debian for a while.

I hear Mullvad is good too but I'm currently paying half as much for PIA as I would be for Mullvad.

I like Proton VPN. If you're on Arch you can download and build their client from the AUR, or by using Pacman. I just use their client, but if you prefer you can also connect via OpenVPN and use something else.

I also use Proton VPN as well as Proton mail, Calendar and drive (proton cloud storage). I am also on arch and quite satisfied with Proton.

I use NordVPN, works well with Arch, no gui just terminal, only about three times to get it logged, to the country you want to use, and running

[–] Mair@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I used to have Nord, it seems a little pricey to me?

[–] Minty95@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

They often do some promotions, got mine at about half price

[–] Iam@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

ExpressVPN works from the CLI on Arch.

[–] liliumstar@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

ovpn is pretty good so far and supports port forwarding. You can easily create wireguard configs for your system.

"Mullvad" with "NextDNS" is my fav combination now. For connecting to my personal servers and network at home, I use WireGuard.

[–] MeowdyPardner@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm miffed that mullvad did away with recurring subscriptions, so you have to remember to refill the account if you have stuff relying on it.

[–] Dillacorn@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Yes that's correct... I don't really have anything relying on my connections 24/7 so that's not an issue for me personally.

[–] vettnerk@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Openvpn. Only time I've used something else has been due to work requirements.

[–] ggnoredo@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

just use nmcli to import your vpn profiles either openvpn or wireguard

[–] pglpm@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

I've reliably used Torguard for at least 15 years. They have clients for many Linux distros, including Arch.

[–] CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I use Mullvad on Arch and it's never given me any trouble. No Flatpak AFAIK but you can get it from the AUR.

[–] amanneedsamaid@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Torguard has by far the most feature-packed client for Linux that I've tried. It can kill applications when the VPN disconnects, and you can define scripts you want to run before, during, or after a VPN connection is established.

[–] Linuturk@lemmy.onitato.com 2 points 1 year ago

Some flavor of Wireguard.

[–] dishpanman@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

AirVPN has a number of Linux options running through openVPN or wireguard https://airvpn.org/linux/

[–] Kongar@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

I don’t know if it’s the best, but proton vpn exists in a flatpak that works without issue. That’s what I use.
