BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS; TUESDAY, 4 MARCH, 2025 — Leading consumer privacy and security company ExpressVPN today announced the launch of its new Linux app with graphical user interface (GUI), delivering more privacy and security features, and an upgraded user experience across Linux devices. The new visual app combines powerful security controls with a seamless and intuitive interface—meeting the needs of the diverse Linux community.
Responding to the growing popularity of Linux and demand for a high-quality, robust VPN solution, ExpressVPN has now launched a modern, intuitive, and user-friendly GUI application for the global Linux community. The all-new ExpressVPN Linux GUI app includes a comprehensive suite of advanced features like split tunneling, a configurable kill switch, and more.
Himmat Bains, head of desktop apps, at ExpressVPN says, “We recognized that the rapidly growing Linux community needed a powerful and intuitive VPN experience and got to work immediately. With our new Linux GUI app, we’re not simply delivering an upgraded interface. The new app integrates a host of advanced features that enable users to tailor their digital security experience—for more control and privacy while benefitting from the ease of use that ExpressVPN is known for.”
“Whether you are a power user looking for advanced controls like IP-based split tunneling or simply want to enjoy a sleek and easy-to-use app interface, the new ExpressVPN Linux app caters to all,” added Bains.
Robust security controls wrapped in a seamless, intuitive interface
Linux users can now enjoy an elevated ExpressVPN experience through a new interface, while retaining all features and tools they trust, including advanced protection features and post-quantum encryption with Lightway. Furthermore, the upgraded app introduces:
- User-centric design and experience: Now available in 17 languages, privacy protection is even more accessible to global Linux users. A new light and dark mode feature allows users to customize their viewing experience.
- Enhanced security features: Linux users can now unlock new features like a built-in advanced kill switch and split-tunneling, which includes IP splitting, for a more tailored VPN experience.
- Greater flexibility and convenience: The wealth of new features gives users more control over their VPN experience, while the one-click live chat delivers instant chat support—directly accessible through the app.
Comprehensive support for the Linux community
ExpressVPN will continue to support all Linux distros with its new and enhanced CLI, regardless of whether the distro is headless or has an OS GUI. The new CLI is designed to work alongside the GUI app–letting users control the app from the command line. Furthermore, users on the CLI can look forward to new features for the first time including split tunneling and monitor app state—for power users who want to further script and customize their VPN experience.
“At ExpressVPN, our users have always been the driving force behind our innovations. Our major Linux enhancements are just one example, and reinforce our mission of making robust privacy protection accessible to everyone,” said Bains.
