The new free ProtonVPN client for Linux has been released. Version 2.0 has been completely rewritten from scratch in Python. It's not that the old bash-script client was bad. On the contrary, it had all the essential metrics and even a working kill switch. However, the new client operates better, faster, and much more reliably, and comes with numerous new features.<\/p>\n
Key features in the new version:<\/p>\n
\n
Kill switch \u2014 allows you to block the primary internet connection when the VPN connection drops. Not a byte goes by! The kill switch prevents the exposure of your IP addresses and DNS requests if you are disconnected from the VPN server for any reason.\n<\/li>\n
Split Tunneling \u2014 allows you to exclude specific IP addresses from the VPN tunnel. By excluding certain IP addresses from your VPN connection, you can browse the internet as if you were in two places at once.\n<\/li>\n
Performance Enhancement \u2014 the code has been significantly optimized for easier and more reliable support of Linux platforms. A more stable and faster algorithm will help determine which VPN server will provide the highest connection speed.\n<\/li>\n
Security Enhancement \u2014 numerous changes have been made to prevent DNS leaks and IPv6 leaks. \n
