How to install a VPN on Linux Mint

We only officially support Linux on Debian, Ubuntu, and Fedora running the GNOME desktop environment.

Reports indicate that our Linux app works 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, 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.
