from the team:

Last month, we released split tunneling on Linux in Beta, and we’ve now added an ‘include’ mode as part of the latest release!

Thank you to everyone for helping us test and providing valuable feedback as we continue to improve our Linux app.

Here’s how to get the beta for:

✅ Debian

✅ Ubuntu

✅ Fedora

https://protonvpn.com/support/linux-beta

Please also note that:

The new Split Tunneling feature is not compatible with the Linux kernel 6.16, we are working on a fix. Until then, to use split tunneling, downgrade to an older kernel version.

Your existing Split Tunneling configuration will be reset on application start, the addition of the ‘include’ mode feature made this necessary. Stay safe,

Proton Team

      Agreed, but I’m really waiting for a drive client. VPN is great but there are other ways to deal with that on Linux, the rclone setup is hokey and not great, better than nothing to be sure, but first party support is desperately needed.

    The Linux GUI client still freezes for 5-10 seconds when you change focus to it (under Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS). Is that ever going to be fixed?

    Edit: “Debian” -> “Ubuntu”

      Only selected apps connect with VPN protection. All other traffic is unprotected.
