ExpressVPN Overhauls Linux App, Includes GUI

ExpressVPN has overhauled its Linux app, providing a Graphical User Interface (GUI), in what the company says its its “biggest update on Linux yet!”

ExpressVPN is one of the most popular VPN providers, providing virtually every major platform. On Linux, however, the software finally has a GUI that helps bring it on par with other platforms, rather than relying on the command line to activate and configure it. While advanced Linux users may still enjoy using the command line, a GUI makes the app far easier to use for the growing number of new Linux users.

This overhaul introduces the much-requested Graphical User Interface (GUI), along with multiple new features. Whereas previously Linux users relied on command lines to control the VPN and change settings, the GUI allows them to interact with a user interface just like on our apps for Mac and Windows.

With the new GUI, Linux users will now be able to take control of their online experience with a couple of clicks on the mouse.

It also incorporates light and dark modes and is available in 17 languages, offering flexibility and accessibility.

The company also outlines a slew of new features that are included in the new Linux app.

• Network Lock kill switch, which stops internet traffic if you lose your VPN connection for maximum security. With this latest update, we’ve added an advanced kill switch, which prevents internet access at all times unless the VPN is connected.
• Split tunneling allows you to select specific apps or IPs to be routed through the VPN while others bypass it.
• Post-quantum protection is designed to safeguard your data against the threats posed by powerful quantum computers.
• Advanced protection features that let you block intrusive ads, trackers, malicious websites, and adult content, for a safer, more enjoyable browsing experience.
• VPN protocol options including our proprietary Lightway, alongside the widely trusted OpenVPN.
• Servers in 105 countries, giving you a truly global reach when you go online.
• Auto-connect ensures you remain protected by automatically reconnecting the VPN if the connection drops unexpectedly.
• Enable LAN access to securely connect to local devices on your network.
• Live chat with Support in one click, whenever you need help with using ExpressVPN.

ExpressVPN says users who prefer the command line can continue to use it. In the meantime, the new app is available for Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, Arch, and Raspberry PI. Users can download the new app here.
