Linux support? about vpn-libraries HOT 77 OPEN

I don't think there should be a Linux side, it will undoubtedly be abused

from vpn-libraries.

Hi Lateef, thanks for your inquiry. No, we don't have a Linux client currently in the works. We do appreciate your inquiry though and might consider it in the future.

from vpn-libraries.

I second that. The Google One VPN works great, Linux users should be allowed to use it too, without using workarounds. Please add native Linux support to the Google One VPN!

I see no reason why the VPN would be abused more on Linux than on other operating systems.

Little Bump.
Using Google VPN since a bunch of time and really like it on my MacBook and iPhone.

I really would like to see to get also Linux Support, so my Desktop can be also covered from it.
Also Google One would be for a quite big user base on on more system available.
Please consider it to implement.

from vpn-libraries.

unfortunately google will make up excuses because they suck ass. jokes on them because ill just use warp.

Warp isn't a VPN though.

It just baffles me that Google uses Linux for everything and makes money of the community, but refuses to provide first class support for the same community it thrives off.

This VPN client is written uses FLOSS libraries, yet nobody can tell us why it isn't available for Linux.

If Mozilla can provide a VPN client for Linux, it's absurd that Google won't. But they claim they love FLOSS though.

Why no love for Linux? I imagine this product was built on Linux using open source libraries. Am I missing something?

from vpn-libraries.

First of all, not all Linux users do these malicious things. Second, the Google One VPN should be able to deal with that. For comparison, Cloudflare's (free) VPN called WARP also has Linux support and still works fine.

Hello Google VPN Team,

I use Linux and I'm interested in your VPN. It's a bummer that Google One VPN doesn't support Linux yet. There are lots of us using Linux, especially those who care about security and privacy. We'd really like to use Google One VPN.Expanding to Linux might be tough, but it's worth it. Linux is big in servers, academics, and with devs. By supporting Linux, you'd attract more techy users.We're eager to try Google One VPN on Linux and can help test it. Hope you'll think about this. Looking forward to Linux support in the future.Cheers

Dears, please support Linux, thank you!

LINUX SUPPORT!!!, I'M PAYING FOR THIS, WHY ARE YOU FORCING ME TO USE WINDOWS

from vpn-libraries.

If Linux can use it, there will be a large number of proxy servers applying Googleonevpn, which will affect the experience of subscribers. Unfortunately, the official recently give the VPN to 100g subscriptions. This again lowers the barrier to entry.

Commenting "+1" contributes nothing other than spam people's notifications & emails who actually want to be updated on this.

Press "thumbs up" on the issue instead.

Google have never really considered Linux, for example there is no official Google Drive for Linux so I am not surprised it is the same for VPN, no need to speculate about malicious Linux users 😉 there is Chrome but that's all we could expect IMHO.

+1 for linux support, linux is the future at this point with great OS'es like Nobara and Pop!_Os, been using Pop!_Os for 7 months now have no intention of ever returning to Windows.

We need major companies to make basic paid features available on all devices, especially linux.

After careful consideration....

As others have stated, we don't need an app. Just give us the connection details we can use with openvpn client. 🙏

Not possible, it does not use OpenVPN, the way they implemented this is not as easy as just giving connection details

A simple CLI tool like Cloudflare WARP has would certainly be appreciated by most people here as well

from vpn-libraries.

As I'm a customer who pays for Google One VPN, provide me a solution to use my VPN on Linux.

from vpn-libraries.

There is no Google Drive and no Google VPN for Linux. The Linux desktop market share is 4% now. It is not much, but it is growing (~30% in the last year). See: https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/worldwide
For me would be Google One subscription quite interesting, but I use Linux.

from vpn-libraries.

Google announced today that the VPN by Google One is shutting down in the coming months.
Google One VPN will be discontinued, Pixel VPN remains with upgrade coming

from vpn-libraries.

I love Linux, Using Arch sometimes. Cloudflare free warp was already abused. I hope Google One Vpn group can handle the problem in the future. bro, I trust you don`t,but someone else will apply it to their proxy server to earn money.You konw, in some countries, not even Google, YouTube ... can be accessed. They will find any ways to get good experience. I run the g1vpn on a old android and run a socks proxy on the phone to give all my devices.

from vpn-libraries.

You could at the very least allow for openvpn support. We don't even really need a client. I mean jeez maybe a chrome extension? Literally anything?

I have been trying to make use of VPN by GoogleOne to protect my entire network, per the attached email thread. I am amazed at how Google will reply with completed irrelevant information and questions. Getting in touch by phone is virtually impossible. I have been a Google customer for years. This is the first time that I have asked for their help. It has been a futile exercise. Maybe someone on here can help. I would love to speak with the product manager for VPN by GoogleOne.

This is not the place, nobody here will help you with a support request because we can't do anything, you won't be able to reach any product managers either.

This is not Google support. There is no Linux application for Google One VPN, hence why this Github issue exists, your options are basically:

1. Have a device connected 24/7 and then route your traffic through that
2. Make your own Linux application
3. Wait for Google to hopefully make one eventually
4. Find a way to somehow run the Android/Windows/MacOS apps on Linux

Malicious users could do the same. Offering a VPN service always attracts abusers. The only real solution to this is ensuring the VPN service can handle this. It's a regrettable decision by Google if they decide to not support Linux for the Google One VPN just because of the potential abusers.
Don't forget that the Google One VPN for Windows or Android could be reverse engineered in order to make them usable on Linux.

I really see no reason why a single google employee can't take on this task, it's just IPSEC/IKE? I tried getting a connection running myself but had no luck (assuming I probably got IKE proposals wrong)

I just wana say that I agree with most of u. A linux client is needed. I feel like Linux is the most "Google" OS.
If Linux support is not possible, at least a Chrome extension to connect to the VPN.
