hello,

 

is a linux client planned?

 

i'm using ubuntu and currently use https://bitmask.net/ which gives me an easy to use, non-leaking, always-on and open source vpn client.

unfortunately they don't support ipv6 just yet. this leaves me w/o vpn at places with DS-lite/ipv4 over NAT.

 

just the raw openvpn configuration files would be nice too.

and please consider open sourcing your clients, that would be a good move.

    I however forwarded your request to the persons in charge.


    Why would F-Secure Not have plans for a freedome linux client but has one for windows, a far less secure environment?

    you have an interesting logic...

    if you feel windows is a "far less secure environment", wouldnt it (with a logical mindset) make even more sense for F-Secure to create a windows client to improve it?

    I certainly do.

     

    And, no. No I don't. For the simple fact that it would make more sense to gravitate everyone onto Linux, champ.

    Hi Pootis,

     

    No change on that front, we still have no plans to release a Linux client for the moment, this may or may not change in the future.

     

    Thanks

    I wouldn't have much trust in a VPN service that requires installation of a dedicated proprietary client (spy ?). Most GNU/Linux systems handle VPN connexions out-of-the-box. So there is indeed no point in developping such a thing, but rather giving out connexion parameters.

    I'd also really love linux client.

     

    Now I have to use something else for now.

    I had the same situ and disappointment. Keep in mind, F-Secure andLinux both come from the same place - Helsinki, Finland. This makes me think that maybe mr Torvalds has opened his nasty mouth in a correct moment for the right perseon...

    I would vote for +1 to the linux client. It's really needed and you F-Secure cannot really be only thinking of those who use Windows.

  • Thank you for all your feedback. It is forwarded to the product team. 

    There is however currently still no plan for a Linux version.

    I would be interested in a GNU/Linux client as well.

    I'm an happy user of Fsecure VPN  using it on iPhone and Windows, but why isn't it availbale on Linux ???

  • Hi, 

     

    There is still no plan for a Linux version. But I'll forward your feedback so this may be considered again in the future.

    +1 for Linux client, and by the way also ARM binaries would be nice because of just launched commercial Ubuntu tablet Smiley Wink

    I am adding my voice for a linux. Got little upset when i realized there is not Linux version of this.
    Hope you would change mind and develop that for linux too!

    I am adding my voice, too!!!!

     

    I believe that Linux is the future. Many people don't like Windows 10.
