VPN Paris on Linux

Download the client

Compatible with Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, MX Linux and derivatives.

Then install it by double-clicking the file, or in a terminal:

sudo apt install ~/Downloads/vpnparis.deb

You can also do everything from the command line, without a browser:

wget https://vpnparis.com/vpnparis.deb
sudo apt install ./vpnparis.deb

Dependencies (WireGuard, DNS) are installed automatically.

Curious about what happens under the hood? Our article Setting up a WireGuard VPN on Linux covers the whole machinery.

Create your free access

A single command, with your e-mail address. 3 days free, no credit card — your encrypted tunnel is created and configured automatically:

sudo vpnparis signup you@email.com

Already have an account (trial or subscription)? Fetch your configuration with:

sudo vpnparis login you@email.com

The free trial is limited to one per person (address, machine or connection).

Connect

# turn the VPN on
sudo vpnparis up

# check status: tunnel, remaining trial, public IP
sudo vpnparis status

# turn the VPN off
sudo vpnparis down

Once connected, status shows your public IP followed by “(France ✓)”: all your traffic leaves encrypted through our Paris server.

To start the VPN automatically at every boot:

sudo systemctl enable wg-quick@vpnparis

Subscribe after the trial

When the 3 days are up, pick a plan on the pricing page: €2.99/month or €24.99/year. Payment is secure (bank card, via Stripe) and uses the same e-mail address as your trial.

Once the payment is confirmed, simply fetch your new access — nothing to reinstall:

sudo vpnparis login you@email.com
sudo vpnparis up

Unsubscribing or switching machines? sudo vpnparis logout removes the account from this computer.

Or with official WireGuard (all distributions)

Prefer not to use our software? First create your access on vpnparis.com (free trial): you receive your personal access page by e-mail, with your configuration file and a QR code.

Install WireGuard, then grab your configuration file from your personal access page:

# Fedora
sudo dnf install wireguard-tools

# Arch, Manjaro
sudo pacman -S wireguard-tools openresolv

# then install your profile and connect
sudo mkdir -p /etc/wireguard
sudo cp ~/Downloads/vpnparis.conf /etc/wireguard/
sudo chmod 600 /etc/wireguard/vpnparis.conf
sudo wg-quick up vpnparis

Want a button in your system tray? Import the profile into the network manager:

sudo nmcli connection import type wireguard file /etc/wireguard/vpnparis.conf

VPN Paris then shows up in the network menu: one click to turn it on, one click to turn it off.
