After your first installation, restart Ubuntu once. Then open PlainVPN from the applications menu, sign in, and connect. Existing users can open the updated app without restarting.

First installation only:

sudo reboot
Already have PlainVPN? Install the new .deb package with the same command to upgrade in place. Your settings and saved credentials are kept. No uninstall or restart is needed for an existing installation.

  • 64-bit Intel or AMD processor (amd64/x86-64)
  • Administrator access for installation
  • An active PlainVPN subscription
  • Internet access during installation

Support for additional Linux distributions and package formats will be announced after compatibility testing.

Linux installation FAQ

Why is a restart required after the first installation?

PlainVPN installs a protected networking service and adds your user to the PlainVPN access group. Restarting applies that group membership before your first connection. An upgrade to an existing installation does not require another restart.

How do Linux updates work?

PlainVPN checks for new releases and tells you when an update is available. Close the app, download the new .deb package, and install it with the same APT command. APT upgrades the existing installation and keeps your saved settings. No uninstall or restart is needed.

How do I enable Advanced mode or change the theme?

Open the menu inside PlainVPN and enable Advanced mode to see connection statistics and a larger lokatsiyalar panel. Open Theme in the same menu to choose Light, Dark, or Auto.

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.
