VPN for your device
VPN for Linux
A personal VPN for Linux on your own server: a dedicated IP on the PERSONAL plan, a choice of 60+ locations and the MeduzaVPN app — desktop and command line. The config file for the WireGuard or OpenVPN client is still there too.
Why a VPN on Linux
MeduzaVPN turns your Linux machine into a private gateway to the internet through a personal VPS in the location you choose. On the PERSONAL plan, your traffic goes through your own server and your own IP, not a shared address like most mass-market VPNs.
There is a MeduzaVPN app for Linux: a desktop client and a command-line client, shipped as .deb and .rpm packages and a .tar.gz archive, with an apt/dnf repository for updates. If you prefer, you can still connect with the standard WireGuard or OpenVPN client using the config file from your account, from the terminal or through NetworkManager.
How to set up a VPN on Linux
Create an account and choose a location
Create a MeduzaVPN account and choose a VPN location from 30+ countries.
Install the app or the package
Take the .deb or .rpm package below — x86-64 or arm64 — or add our apt/dnf repository, then sign in with your account. The meduzavpn command line comes in the same package.
Connect to the server
Now all your device's traffic goes through your own server — on the PERSONAL plan, with a dedicated IP and no shared users.
Download MeduzaVPN for Linux
App with a window (x86-64)
Command line and background service — x86-64 and arm64 (Raspberry Pi, ARM servers)
Installing from files: put the service package on first, then the app. The repository does both by itself and brings updates.

«Fair price, no issues with speed, plenty of servers for any task. One minor wish — I'd love more detailed connection and traffic stats in the app. It would also be nice to get push notifications when the connection drops. Doesn't affect the core functionality, overall happy and not planning to switch.»

«Took it on trial after a bad experience with another service. Everything works the way it should: stable connection, decent speed even in the evening, and payment went through without any hassle. I used to be skeptical about services like this, but now I recommend it to friends without hesitation. I'll be staying for the long run.»

«Got connected in a couple of minutes, no complex setup. Stable both at home and while traveling, speed is consistently high across every device.»

«Got it for my mom — she's always worried about scammers. The service has its own app, so there was nothing to configure manually: installed it, signed in, and it just works.»
Linux VPN questions
How do I set up a VPN on Linux?
Create a MeduzaVPN account, choose a VPN location and install the Linux app — a .deb or .rpm package, the .tar.gz archive or the apt/dnf repository. Sign in, pick a protocol and connect; the same thing is available from the command line through meduzavpn. If you would rather do without the app, download the config file and import it into the WireGuard or OpenVPN client, from the terminal or through NetworkManager.
Can I connect from the terminal or do I need a GUI?
Both work. There is a MeduzaVPN desktop app and a meduzavpn command-line client — they come from the same packages and drive the same background service. You can also skip both: bring the tunnel up from the command line with WireGuard or OpenVPN, or add the config through NetworkManager.
Which distributions are supported?
The app and the command-line client ship as .deb and .rpm packages and a .tar.gz archive, so they run on Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora and other major distributions, with apt and dnf repositories for updates. The no-app route works on any Linux with WireGuard or OpenVPN available — the config file is the same across distributions.
Is there a MeduzaVPN app for Linux, and which protocols does it carry?
Yes. Linux has both a MeduzaVPN desktop app and a meduzavpn command-line client. They carry the same protocols as the apps on other platforms: MeduzaVPN ULTRA, MeduzaVPN, WireGuard, OpenVPN, SoftEther, VLESS, VLESS 2.0, Xray, V2Ray, Outline, Shadowsocks, SOCKS5 and Hysteria 2. The exception is IKEv2/IPsec, which needs a third-party client such as strongSwan on Linux.
Does MeduzaVPN store my traffic on Linux?
No. We don't store the content of your traffic, and on the server each protocol runs in an isolated container on your personal VPS.
