    Proton VPN has Arch installers for their client but they also gives you the option to connect via OpenVPN so that you can use whatever client you want.

    I believe PIA is on Arch. I’ve been using it on Windows for years and never had an issue, same of when I used it on Debian for a while.

    I hear Mullvad is good too but I’m currently paying half as much for PIA as I would be for Mullvad.

    I use Mullvad on Arch and it’s never given me any trouble. No Flatpak AFAIK but you can get it from the AUR.

    Mullvad is the best option.

    It’s cheap, they respect your privacy, and it should already be in the AUR if you are on any Arch based distro.

      I use Mullvad and have never had a problem… but they have just stopped allowing port forwarding if that matters to you

    Openvpn. Only time I’ve used something else has been due to work requirements.

    been with windscribe for 5 years now on arch, it works great. There’s only a CLI app but it works fine

    I don’t know if it’s the best, but proton vpn exists in a flatpak that works without issue. That’s what I use.

    PIA for Linux. You download a .run file and install it. It also install a CLI command piactl if you are into scripting. You can use either a Wireguard or OpenVPN connection. You can also do port forwarding.
