ExpressVN has officially introduced a graphical user interface (GUI) for its Linux application, which is a long -awaited upgrade that brings a modern and user friendly experience to Linux users. Earlier, expressVN on Linux was available only through a command-line interface (CLI), which was less accessible to unfamiliar users with the terminal command.
The new GUI version reflects the design and functionality of Windows and McOS apps of ExpressVN, which has a clean interface with a spontaneous layout. The main features include a simple one-click connect button, location selection and real-time connection position. Additionally, the app supports both light and dark mode, catering for user preferences.
ExpressVPN has also introduced advanced facilities in this update, including:
- Split Tunling: Users can now choose which apps use VPN connections and which bypass it, provide more control over network traffic.
- kill switch: An underlying feature that falls VPN connection, when ensuring privacy at all times, disconnects internet access automatically.
- Lightway protocol: VPN’s custom-made protocol for adapted and more secure connections to perform on Linux.
- IP-based split tunling: Unlike traditional app-based split tunling, this feature allows users to root specific IP addresses through VPN keeping others on their regular networks.
In addition to these safety and purpose reforms, ExpressVPN has also added in-app customers support, allowing users to contact the company’s aid team through the application directly.
Despite this new GUI option, ExpressVPN has assured its user base that the command-line version will be supported. The CLI version has also been updated with increased features including app state monitoring.
The new ExpressVN Linux app is currently available for a series of Linux distribution in Beeta, which includes Ubuntu 24.04+, Debian 10, Fedora 30, Raspberry Pie OS Buster, Linux Mint 20 and Arc. Users can download the latest version from the official website of expresswpn.
This update brings the expressVN to the competitive VPN providers, who have offered long graphical interfaces for Linux, making it a more attractive option for both a novice and experienced users who prefer a well-organized experience on command-line interactions.
