Proton VPN offers a Linux GUI app (with a graphic user interface) and a Linux CLI.

We only officially support Linux on Debian, Ubuntu, and Fedora running the GNOME desktop environment. We also officially support the Arch packages maintained by Peter Jung.

Reports indicate that our Linux GUI app and Linux CLI work on Linux Mint (including running the Cinnamon desktop environment), but support for Mint may be limited. If you’d like to try Proton VPN out on Mint, follow the instructions for how to install Proton VPN on Ubuntu.

However, if installing the GUI app, please skip the Linux system tray icon (optional) step, as the gnome-shell-extension-appindicator package will install the entire GNOME desktop environment as a dependency.
