Good evening everyone. As I have already said I am often an amateur in Linux. I’m looking for a VPN for my Leap 15.6 and Tw. My VM are already installed in a Windows 11 host that has been using a VPN for many years. My current software vpn manager, despite having still available licenses, does not support Linux Opensuse so I would like to install a VPN in a Bare Metal laptop with Dual Boot Leap 15.6 and TW. Which one would you recommend? I tried Proton VPN but I managed to make it work only on APT systems: Linux Mint and MX Linux which, however, I did not keep for my preferences in Opensuse. I have never been able to activate it with Opensuse Leap 15.6 KDE and TW always with KDE Desktop
Thanks in advance
@avicenzi Update. I managed to install and connect Proton VPN with TW XFCE. I would like to thank you for your work.@avicenzi
Thanks you very much
Hi, Proton VPN app on Linux is mostly focused on Gnome, not sure how it behaves on another Desktop Env, but glad it worked for you.
Proton VPN also offers files for OpenVPN, with OpenVPN you have more support compared to the official Proton VPN app for Linux. You can download the OpenVPN files from your account page on the Proton VPN website.
On the topic of which VPN is recommended, I believe only you can make a choice based on what features they offer. Most VPN providers offer OpenVPN integration or perhaps even Wireguard, and with both, you can easily use it on Linux, Windows, Android, or Apple even if the provider does not offer an official app for a given system.

@avicenzi Thanks you very much
I’m using Wireguard and OpenVPN via NetworkManager. My provider has config files (I suppose most of them do the same), so it’s only needed to import it. Of course, I import only few (locations and configurations I need), and if they remove some server, you don’t know that until you try to connect to it. But overall experience is ok.
If you want to use provider’s program, which usually offers more features and settings, I know that IVPN installed from Snap works well on openSUSE (TW KDE). It’s a good service with fair pricing. Just check if server locations they provide suit your needs.

Hi @nenadandric I renewed a service that I use on Windows, Android and iPad 40 days ago. Unfortunately the supplier is not compatible with Linux. Thank you
