    Mullvadvpn is my vpn of choice. Ubuntu, Debian, and Fedora are the recommended distros if using Mullvad.

    Mint isn’t for everyone. A lot of picking a distro, at least for me, is will it work with the services I want to use.

      To use mullvad on mint, download the .deb file. Double click on it. Click ok to installing it.

      Done.

      Edit (Download it off mullvad website if not clear)

        It’s just wire guard. You can download the config file and import into the native vpn settings

          True. But the app makes it easier for noobs to configure. Anyone with basic CLI skills wouldnt be trying to infer Mullvad doesnt work on Mint anyway.

      You don’t actually need the official Mullvad program either, although there’s nothing wrong with it.

      I prefer to just load the wireguard config directly with network manager (or whatever your distro uses).
