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
