Setup Guide

Set Up PremierVPN on Linux

Download, install, and connect in under 2 minutes. Works on Ubuntu, Debian, and other Debian-based distributions.

1

Download

Download the PremierVPN installer package from our downloads page.

Go to Downloads

Download the file: premiervpn_1.0.0_all.deb

2

Install

Open a terminal and run the following commands:

# Navigate to your downloads folder
$ cd ~/Downloads
# Install PremierVPN
$ sudo apt install ./premiervpn_1.0.0_all.deb

This installs PremierVPN and all required dependencies automatically.

3

Launch

Open PremierVPN from your application menu, or launch it from the terminal:

$ premiervpn
4

Sign In

Enter your PremierVPN portal login details — the same email and password you use to log into portal.premiervpn.net.

Use your portal login

Sign in with the same email and password you use at portal.premiervpn.net. This is your account login, not a separate VPN credential.

Connect

Select a server from the list and click Connect. The power button turns green when you're connected — all your traffic is now encrypted.

Updating

Download the latest .deb from our downloads page and install it the same way — it upgrades automatically.

$ sudo apt install ./premiervpn_1.0.0_all.deb

Uninstalling

To remove PremierVPN from your system:

$ sudo apt remove premiervpn

Troubleshooting

Make sure the PremierVPN background service is running:

$ sudo systemctl restart premiervpn-service

Try the following:

  • Check your internet connection is working
  • Try selecting a different server
  • Restart the background service:
$ sudo systemctl restart premiervpn-service

The app uses your portal login credentials — the same email and password you use to sign in at portal.premiervpn.net. These are not separate VPN credentials. If you've forgotten your password, reset it at the portal login page.
