I recently talked about VPN options for the Librem 5 so today I wanted to cover the FLX1 from FuriLabs. I usually use either Mullvad or Proton VPN. I can install both on the FLX1 through the respective websites as they give detailed terminal commands. Out of the box Proton VPN works great while Mullvad gives an error message regarding the kernel. The FLX1 does currently use a pretty old kernel (4.19 based) so this isn't a big surprise. The Waydroid versions install but I haven't tried them yet. So all in all if you have an FLX1 and want a good VPN to use I would suggest Proton VPN. It has a few options for price points and is great from a privacy and security standpoint. It includes such options as "Secure Core" where it passes user traffic through multiple servers to further hide it, and content blocking for blocking things such as spam, trackers, ads and more. These all add extra latency but are optional and great to have.

I wanted to give the spotlight to my Librem 5 for a bit and talk about VPN options. I usually use either Mullvad or Proton VPN. I can install both on the Libre 5 through the respective websites as they give detailed terminal commands. Out of the box Mullvad VPN works great while Proton VPN won't connect to any network I tried. I didn't try the Flatpak version of Proton VPN and I don't use Waydroid on my Librem 5 so I didn't try that. So all in all if you have a Librem 5 and want a good VPN to use I would suggest Mullvad VPN. It is pretty cheap at 5 euros a month and is great from a privacy and security standpoint. It includes such options as "multihop" where it routes your traffic out of a different server than where it went in DAITA which defends against monitoring of packets, and content blocking for blocking things such as spam, trackers, ads and more. These all add extra latency but are optional and great to have.

If you follow the above link, choose ARM64 and Ubuntu/Debian then click the .deb download. After that you just have to hold tap on the downloaded file and choose to "Open With Software Install".

If you’re looking for an EU-based alternative to AzireVPN since they’ve now sold to a US company (why, hello, Trump presidency, how goes?), see Mullvad VPN (@mullvadnet).
