I use Mullvad on Arch and it’s never given me any trouble. No Flatpak AFAIK but you can get it from the AUR.

Mullvad! They also allow to pay in cash which is really cool

I believe PIA is on Arch. I’ve been using it on Windows for years and never had an issue, same of when I used it on Debian for a while.

I hear Mullvad is good too but I’m currently paying half as much for PIA as I would be for Mullvad.

Both Mullvad and PIA are on AUR for Arch, and they both have .deb packages for debian tree. Mullvad has an .rpm for redhat

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

I use NordVPN, works well with Arch, no gui just terminal, only about three times to get it logged, to the country you want to use, and running

I used to have Nord, it seems a little pricey to me?

They often do some promotions, got mine at about half price

I am also using NordVPN. They seem to have always a ‘deal’ with 60 to 70% off, otherwise it would be too expensive.

But I am using it out of lazyness to look for alternatives as it kind of just works with openVPN on Linux. Maybe there are better VPNs out there.

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

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.

AirVPN has a number of Linux options running through openVPN or wireguard https://airvpn.org/linux/

Some flavor of Wireguard.

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

Mullvad from the AUR, it’s great.

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.

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

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

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).

been with windscribe for 5 years now on arch, it works great. There’s only a CLI app but it works fine

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.

OP is asking for a service recommendation, not a protocol
