Airvpn and mullvad according to my experience have served me pretty well. Mullvad seems to have disabled something related port forwarding recently. I’ve been using airvpn, and if u don’t mind its slightly old school interface, its the best option(and its pretty cheap as well).

ovpn is pretty good so far and supports port forwarding. You can easily create wireguard configs for your system.

OVPN and WG are protocols, not providers.

Openvpn. Only time I’ve used something else has been due to work requirements.

Mullvad is the best option.

It’s cheap, they respect your privacy, and it should already be in the AUR if you are on any Arch based distro.

I use Mullvad and have never had a problem… but they have just stopped allowing port forwarding if that matters to you

With the exception of limiting how many Wireguard configs you can have, only 5.

Mullvad from the AUR, it’s great.

PIA for Linux. You download a .run file and install it. It also install a CLI command piactl if you are into scripting. You can use either a Wireguard or OpenVPN connection. You can also do port forwarding.

I’ve reliably used Torguard for at least 15 years. They have clients for many Linux distros, including Arch.

Torguard has by far the most feature-packed client for Linux that I’ve tried. It can kill applications when the VPN disconnects, and you can define scripts you want to run before, during, or after a VPN connection is established.

I like Proton VPN. If you’re on Arch you can download and build their client from the AUR, or by using Pacman. I just use their client, but if you prefer you can also connect via OpenVPN and use something else.

I also use Proton VPN as well as Proton mail, Calendar and drive (proton cloud storage). I am also on arch and quite satisfied with Proton.

Some flavor of Wireguard.

You can use any good provider that supports OpenVPN or WineGuard and use default linux clients. Take a look here on how to set it up, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/OpenVPN and here https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/WireGuard And many VPN providers offer official linux GUI. But I recommend using terminal, much more configurable and scriptable, especially if you use it on server. EDIT: Also NetworkManager supports both, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NetworkManager

“Mullvad” with “NextDNS” is my fav combination now. For connecting to my personal servers and network at home, I use WireGuard.

I’m miffed that mullvad did away with recurring subscriptions, so you have to remember to refill the account if you have stuff relying on it.

Yes that’s correct… I don’t really have anything relying on my connections 24/7 so that’s not an issue for me personally.

Since you insist on a Flatpak, ProtonVPN has a Flatpak client

Why not just use the native OpenVPN or Wireguard client? Most VPN providers support both protocols.
