Pivot VPN for Linux
Install Pivot VPN on Linux in minutes. Native client for Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora and Arch. One account also covers your phone, laptop, macOS and Android TV.
Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Arch
Official .deb/.rpm packages and AUR build with GPG signatures and updates through your package manager.
Kernel 5.6+ — native WireGuard
On older systems the module is auto-installed from wireguard-dkms.
CLI and GUI
Full pivotvpn CLI for servers and a graphical client for the desktop.
Open configs
The WireGuard config is transparent and auditable — no hidden parameters.
systemd integration
The tunnel is managed as a service; auto-start with one command.
x86_64 and ARM64
Builds cover desktops, Raspberry Pi and ARM servers.
Install via the package manager
On Debian/Ubuntu: add our repo, import the GPG key and install — apt-get install pivotvpn. On Fedora — dnf install via RPM repo. On Arch — AUR package. All options are signed, update with your system, and require no manual tarball downloads. After install run pivotvpn login and confirm the device in your browser.
Why official packages, not a bash installer
The "curl … | sudo bash" installer is convenient but hard to verify and update. We recommend .deb/.rpm — they're GPG-signed, integrate with your package manager, and updates ride the regular apt/dnf cycle. SHA256 and GPG signatures are published on the download page — paranoid verification is possible.
CLI for servers and automation
The pivotvpn CLI covers everything you need: connect to a specific location (pivotvpn connect de), status (pivotvpn status), kill switch (pivotvpn killswitch on). Handy for servers, CI/CD scripts and shell automation. The systemd unit hooks in with one command — pivotvpn enable autoconnect — and the tunnel comes up at boot.
Desktop GUI client
Besides the CLI there's a full graphical app for Ubuntu, Fedora, KDE and GNOME. Server map, protocol switching, kill switch — all one click away. The GUI runs on top of the same daemon as the CLI, you can use both interfaces in parallel. Especially convenient for users who want a secure tunnel without shell commands.
