Obscura VPN launches native Linux app with GUI and open-source licensing

Obscura VPN has officially expanded its platform support by releasing a native Linux application, featuring both a graphical user interface (GUI) and a command-line interface (CLI). The new client supports major distributions including Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, and Arch. Alongside the launch, Obscura has transitioned its codebase to the GPLv3 open-source license, reinforcing its commitment to transparency. The service, known for its unique two-party relay architecture that splits traffic oversight between Obscura and Mullvad, aims to enhance user privacy. The Linux client includes support for a QUIC-based stealth protocol to bypass network restrictions. To mark the release, the company is offering a 25% discount with the code LINUX26. This development completes Obscura's cross-platform availability, covering macOS, iOS, Android, Windows, and now Linux, providing a more accessible experience for privacy-focused users who previously relied on manual WireGuard configurations.
