Which free Privacy software is best for Linux?
There is none.. Your only option would be to download a free VPN service but we recommend avoiding free services on Linux and other operating systems.
Most are simply unsafe and unreliable alternatives to the top paid VPNs. Free VPN providers may fail to fix security loopholes in time or even sell their client data to cover VPN maintenance costs. So even if you think you have found the perfect Linux VPN provider that offers a free service, remember — if you’re not paying for a VPN service with money, you might in fact be paying for it with your personal data.
Does LinuxOS distribution matter for connecting to the app?
WhyNotPrivacy supports all Linux distributions, except for TailOS, TempleOS, and Arch. Keep in mind that you can use WhyNotPrivacy on up to six devices at once with a single subscription — Our Privacy software is available on all major operating systems (even offering a web proxy extension) to protect your device while you browse, use streaming platforms, or work on your platform of choice.
Does Linux have a built-in VPN?
No, the Linux operating system does not have any built-in VPN options. To browse privately and securely, Linux users need to choose a reliable VPN service. We recommend going for a paid VPN with good reviews, secure encryption, plenty of server locations, and fast connection speeds.
