PremierVPN for Linux — Features & Overview
Last updated 15 Mar 2026 · 5 views
PremierVPN for Linux is a native desktop app distributed as a .deb package. It supports Ubuntu, Debian, and other Debian-based distributions.
Download
Visit the Downloads page in your portal and download the .deb installer file.
Installation
Open a terminal and run:
cd ~/Downloads
sudo apt install ./premiervpn_1.0.0_all.deb
This installs PremierVPN and all required dependencies automatically.
Launching
Open PremierVPN from your application menu, or run premiervpn in a terminal.
Signing In
Sign in with your portal credentials — the same email and password you use at portal.premiervpn.net. This is your account login, not a separate VPN credential.
Key Features
- WireGuard Protocol — Fast, modern encryption
- Server browser with search and location filtering
- One-click connect via the power button
- Auto-connect support
- DNS Leak Protection enabled by default
Updating
Download the latest .deb from the Downloads page and install it the same way — it upgrades automatically:
sudo apt install ./premiervpn_1.0.0_all.deb
Uninstalling
sudo apt remove premiervpn
Troubleshooting
- App won't launch: Make sure the background service is running:
sudo systemctl restart premiervpn-service - Connection fails: Check internet, try a different server, restart the service
- Wrong credentials: The app uses your portal login (portal.premiervpn.net), not separate VPN credentials
