A free VPN for Linux, with a real desktop app
Most VPNs give Linux a command line at best. CloakyVPN ships the same desktop app as on Windows and Mac, as a .deb package for Debian and Ubuntu.
Install like any other package
The .deb installs its dependencies itself and adds you to the service group. The VPN runs as a system service, and the app talks to it, so you never need to type a password to connect.
A kill switch in nftables
The protection lives in the kernel firewall. With the full kill switch on, if the server drops or the service stops, nothing leaves the machine except the tunnel.
Time zone and location, handled
One click sets the system time zone with timedatectl to the server's country and restores it later. Another stops GeoClue, the Linux location service, until you turn it back on.
Every protocol, including OpenVPN
VLESS with Reality, VMess, Hysteria, Hysteria2, SSH and OpenVPN servers all work, next to your own servers and subscriptions.
Questions
Which distributions are supported?
Debian and Ubuntu, 64-bit (x64), and distributions based on them.
Does it work on servers without a desktop?
The package is built for desktops, with the app. The VPN itself runs as a system service.
How do I remove it?
Remove the package like any other. Firewall rules and the location service are restored on removal.
