Linux installation FAQ
Why is a restart required after installation?
PlainVPN installs a protected networking service and adds your user to the PlainVPN access group. Restarting applies that group membership cleanly before your first connection.
How do Linux updates work?
PlainVPN checks for new releases and tells you when an update is available. Download the new .deb package and install it with the same APT command. Your saved settings remain in place.
Does the Linux app support obfuscation?
Yes. Traffic obfuscation is included in PlainVPN for Linux and can be enabled before connecting.
How do I remove PlainVPN?
Open Terminal and run:
sudo apt remove plainvpn
What should I do if installation or connection fails?
Restart the computer once, confirm that Ubuntu is fully updated, and try again. If the problem continues, contact PlainVPN support and include the exact error shown in the app.
PlainVPN is ready for Linux.
Download the Ubuntu package, install it from Terminal, and use the same PlainVPN account you already use on your other devices.
