Same here. I am using BitDefender Armor and VPN on my windows computers but need a solution for my Linux Mint systems. Surely there must be a way to install this VPN on Linux Mint. Obviously, please answer the question from baleaaelab first. Thank you.

I have Total Security and I too need Linux software versions, why is BitDefender not cross-platform?

Ditto on Total Security and VPN.

Interesting question. I hope Bitdefender staff can answer1

Very disappointing to see that there's still no answer to the above questions.... not a single response from DB. Only more people having the same question. I'm in the same situation of also having ARMOR and the Premium VPN service on multiple windows laptops and android phones... but in no way able to install the BD VPN service on my Linux based devices... :( Cannot find any answers, also not to for example use openVPN with the DB VPN ip and port ... Seems that the only solution is to switch to other vendor solutions.

Hello everyone,
To this point, Bitdefender VPN (albeit the one in Bitdefender Total Security or the Premium subscription) is not being offered for Linux (native). Only Win, Mac, iOS and Android. Full details are here: https://www.bitdefender.com/solutions/vpn.html
I cannot confirm the compatibility thru WINE, for some might work, but officially, that solution is not endorsed.
cheers,
Mike

Need Bitdefender VPN for Linux e.g. Ubuntu. Please release it.

Bitdefender used to have linux version for home users in the past which only featured antimalware protection with no vpn service and then they discontinued it. As of now, there are no plans to release the linux version of bitdefender for home users, be it the antimalware protection or the vpn.
Bitdefender for linux is only available for the business users which constitutes only antimalware protection and not the vpn.

Hi,
Just got word that the developers are evaluating the possibility of adding VPN support for Linux, but we do not have a clear deadline at the moment.

I have just purchased subscription. How can I change from home to business account?

As far as Bitdefender VPN, it is still only available for Windows, Mac, Android and iOS.
How much would you be willing to pay to protect a Linux device if that is your concern? Unless you truly are a business and in need that level of protection, can be found here:
If you would like to talk to support, they can be found towards the bottom of the webpage, Contact Bitdefender Support and click through a few prompts to get to Chat, email or phone support (which is not toll free).
Kind regards,
Scott

I think it works to activate the VPN on your Android Phone/ IOS and share the connection via cable ! ;) Have fun.

Just to keep this request alive, Bitdefender should really release a Linux version of the VPN.
Really shouldn't be to hard and does not even have to be dedicated software, you could just give us the opportunity to install the Bitdefender VPN-Server (that we pay for) with OpenVPN.
Thanks!

I also need that VPN on my ParrotOS. Most of VPN providers already have a linux version. Protecting just a part of your devices is no protection at all. Total security = all devices are secured, not 1/3 of them. I demand a linux version.

I want to add on that due to windows 11 increased hardware requirements, more people will be switching to linux on their devices; plus the steam deck is linux based so having support for that might be nice.

I contacted Bitdefender support, who then reached out to Bitdefender developers. Below is their current perspective on Linux antimalware for home users, which also applies to VPNs for Linux.
