ExpressVPN Adds A GUI To Their Linux App

([Linux Networking] 114 Minutes Ago ExpressVPN Linux App)


There are a number of NetworkManager VPN plug-ins for different virtual private networking providers as a great way for setting up VPN access from the Linux desktop. But for those interested in using ExpressVPN with their official Linux client, they now offer a GUI to ease the setup process for using their commercial VPN service and proprietary software package.

ExpressVPN previously provided a CLI-only Linux build but today they announced a new Linux app in beta with "an all-new graphical user interface and advanced features." From the GUI features like split tunneling, a configurable kill switch, and other functionality can be managed.

It's nice of them enhancing their VPN software for Linux with a GUI now, but it's a proprietary package and only available for Linux x86_64 installations. Most Linux users are best off using a solution that's compatible with the NetworkManager VPN plug-ins for a nice and integrated -- and open-source -- experience with modern Linux desktops. Plus VPN services supporting WireGuard as opposed to OpenVPN and the proprietary Lightway VPN protocol of ExpressVPN. They have vetted their ExpressVPN Linux GUI app beta on Ubuntu, Debian (including Raspberry Pi OS), Fedora, Linux Mint, and Arch Linux.

Those wanting to learn more about the new ExpressVPN Linux app can do so via the [1]ExpressVPN.com blog .
