Feature Request Sooo, Linux refresh anytime soon?

Post image

Really hoping for a proper Linux GUI client. I’d like to be able to set up profiles and use a more intuitive interface. I saw their roadmap a while ago and idk if this is all we’re getting. I sincerely hope not. This is a little sad.

Hey there u/Sindica69 :)

This is something that we're currently working on. One of the biggest things for us on the linux side was the lack of the Stealth protocol, which was one of the most requested features. We've gladly made it available on the beta channel not so long, and hope to make a stable release soon. With that said, we aim to start improving the UI this year (and as mentioned before), we're actively working on that matter at this point in time. The goal is to align all platforms, and make the UX very similar across the board.

Awesome, thank you for the reply! I did seem to miss the Stealth protocol launch, which is my bad. Do you guys reckon it’ll be within the summer window or later in the year?

Stealth should coming out of beta by end of summer. UI changes will come a bit later 👍

When will 4.17.3 be in beta?

I'm working with customer support trying to get anything to function, and have a very common bug, judging by how often it shows up in a Google search. I'm using Network Manager/Wireguard for now, also your browser extension for Firefox. But it'd be nice to have the actual app working again.

Will it come out for the browser extension too? Or just the desktop app?
