For Ubuntu 20.04 and its kernel 5.4 the protocol is available in the repositories of the distributor (from 19.10). If you follow Linux you know that the VPN protocol WireGuard is integrated by default from Linux kernel 5.6. The problem will be solved in the foreseeable future anyway. With Linux Mint I only got a hint to the WireGuard website. PIA client: If the Linux kernel module of WireGuard is not installed, the software advises to do soīy the way, if you click on Install in Ubuntu, a terminal window with the corresponding PPA entry will open immediately. If I choose the new protocol, I get a few additional options, as you can see in the screenshot. In the client settings you will now find the options OpenVPN and WireGuard in Connection. The software even advises to install the kernel module. The only difference is that PIA uses the Linux kernel module for WireGuard, should it be available. Private Internet Access also provides a graphical client for Linux, which is quite similar to the programs on macOS and Windows. WireGuard and PIA: what does it look like? By the way, all apps and clients of PIA are open source. PIA has done that and connections are not logged. WireGuard is faster, but has pitfalls if the provider does not implement additional privacy and anonymity protection. You can now use it on Linux, Android, Windows, macOS and iOS. The VPN provider PIA (very nice client)* (Private Internet Access) has activated and rolled out the VPN protocol WireGuard in all its apps.
