Mullvad! They also allow to pay in cash which is really cool

Mullvad from the AUR, it's great.

Proton VPN has Arch installers for their client but they also gives you the option to connect via OpenVPN so that you can use whatever client you want.

I like Proton VPN. If you're on Arch you can download and build their client from the AUR, or by using Pacman. I just use their client, but if you prefer you can also connect via OpenVPN and use something else.

Mullvad is the best option.

It's cheap, they respect your privacy, and it should already be in the AUR if you are on any Arch based distro.

"Mullvad" with "NextDNS" is my fav combination now. For connecting to my personal servers and network at home, I use WireGuard.

PIA for Linux. You download a .run file and install it. It also install a CLI command piactl if you are into scripting. You can use either a Wireguard or OpenVPN connection. You can also do port forwarding.

Openvpn. Only time I've used something else has been due to work requirements.

Torguard has by far the most feature-packed client for Linux that I've tried. It can kill applications when the VPN disconnects, and you can define scripts you want to run before, during, or after a VPN connection is established.

I use Mullvad on Arch and it's never given me any trouble. No Flatpak AFAIK but you can get it from the AUR.

ovpn is pretty good so far and supports port forwarding. You can easily create wireguard configs for your system.

I believe PIA is on Arch. I've been using it on Windows for years and never had an issue, same of when I used it on Debian for a while.

I hear Mullvad is good too but I'm currently paying half as much for PIA as I would be for Mullvad.

Why not just use the native OpenVPN or Wireguard client? Most VPN providers support both protocols.

AirVPN has a number of Linux options running through openVPN or wireguard https://airvpn.org/linux/

just use nmcli to import your vpn profiles either openvpn or wireguard

Some flavor of Wireguard.

Since you insist on a Flatpak, ProtonVPN has a Flatpak client

I've reliably used Torguard for at least 15 years. They have clients for many Linux distros, including Arch.

I don’t know if it’s the best, but proton vpn exists in a flatpak that works without issue. That’s what I use.

been with windscribe for 5 years now on arch, it works great. There's only a CLI app but it works fine

Airvpn and mullvad according to my experience have served me pretty well. Mullvad seems to have disabled something related port forwarding recently. I've been using airvpn, and if u don't mind its slightly old school interface, its the best option(and its pretty cheap as well).

I use NordVPN, works well with Arch, no gui just terminal, only about three times to get it logged, to the country you want to use, and running
