Your Connection at a Glance
The PremierVPN Linux client gives you full visibility — connection status, session data, public IP, and a live bandwidth graph — all in a clean, dark-themed desktop interface.
Connection Status
Large power button with clear Connected/Disconnected indicator. Shows your current server, country flag, and live uptime counter at all times.
Session Data
Download total, upload total, session duration, and your current public IP — four key metrics displayed across the top of the dashboard.
Live Bandwidth
Real-time graph showing download and upload speeds with colour-coded lines. Identify bandwidth spikes and monitor your connection quality visually.
Server Browser
Browse servers with country flags, hostnames, and one-click connect buttons. Filter by All, Favourites, Standard, or Dedicated. Star servers for quick access.
A Real GUI Client for Linux
No more terminal-only VPN clients. PremierVPN for Linux gives you a full graphical interface with all the features you'd expect from a desktop VPN app.
One-Click Connect
Click any server's Connect button to instantly establish a WireGuard-encrypted connection. No command line, no config files — just click and go.
Kill Switch
If the VPN connection drops, the kill switch blocks all traffic via iptables/nftables rules to prevent data leaks. Your real IP is never exposed.
Ad & Tracker Blocker
Network-level blocking of ads, trackers, and malicious domains. Works across all applications — browsers, email clients, and everything else.
Live Bandwidth Graph
Colour-coded real-time graph showing download (green) and upload (blue) speeds. Monitor your connection quality with a visual timeline of bandwidth usage.
Built-in Speed Test
Test your VPN connection speed directly from the sidebar. No need for a browser — measure throughput with one click to find the fastest server for your location.
Ping Test
Measure latency to any server before connecting. Essential for choosing the lowest-ping location for gaming, SSH sessions, or video calls.
25+ Server Locations
Browse servers with country flags and hostnames. Filter by All, Favourites, Standard (shared), and Dedicated. Both hostname-based and Direct IP servers available.
Favourite Servers
Star your preferred servers for instant access. The Favourites tab keeps your most-used locations one click away without scrolling through the full list.
Connection Logs
View detailed connection logs directly in the app. Useful for troubleshooting, verifying your connection, or monitoring VPN activity.
Multiple Ways to Connect
The PremierVPN Linux app uses WireGuard as its built-in protocol. For advanced users, you can also connect via IKEv2 using strongSwan, or via OpenConnect for AnyConnect-compatible stealth connections.
WireGuard
Built-inPrimary protocol built into the GUI app. ChaCha20 encryption, Curve25519 key exchange. The fastest option with the lowest overhead — ideal for everyday use, streaming, and gaming.
IKEv2
strongSwanConnect via the strongSwan package and NetworkManager plugin. Provides a GUI experience through GNOME or KDE network settings, or use the command-line ipsec.conf approach for headless servers.
AnyConnect
OpenConnectInstall OpenConnect via your package manager (apt, dnf, pacman). Connect from the terminal or through NetworkManager integration. Runs over HTTPS to bypass restrictive firewalls.
Designed for the Linux Desktop
A proper desktop GUI that works with GNOME, KDE, XFCE, and other desktop environments.
Server List with Flags
Each server shows its country flag, name, hostname (e.g. au.premiervpn.net), and a Connect button. Direct IP servers also show the IP address for manual configuration.
Server Tabs
Filter between All servers, Favourites, Standard (shared hostname-based), and Dedicated servers. Quickly find exactly the server type you need.
Sidebar Navigation
Quick access to Speed Test, Ping Test, Logs, Settings, and Account from the sidebar — always visible, always one click away.
Session Metrics
Four key stats across the dashboard top: Download total, Upload total, Duration, and Public IP. Everything you need to monitor your connection at a glance.
Bandwidth Timeline
Full-width graph with colour-coded download and upload lines. See bandwidth patterns over time and identify spikes or drops in real time.
