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.
