Ubuntu - Install Mullvad VPN

VPN Mullvad

Use the following command chain to download the mullvad public in order to trust it, before then adding the repository to install and keep mullvad up-to-date.

sudo curl -fsSLo /usr/share/keyrings/mullvad-keyring.asc https://repository.mullvad.net/deb/mullvad-keyring.asc \
  && echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/mullvad-keyring.asc arch=$( dpkg --print-architecture )] https://repository.mullvad.net/deb/stable $(lsb_release -cs) main" \
  | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mullvad.list \
  && sudo apt update \
  && sudo apt install mullvad-vpn

Old Method

This is an old method that I'm keeping hold of just in case:

The script below will use axel and gdebi-core to download Mullvad as fast as possible before then installing it.

sudo apt update && sudo apt install axel gdebi-core -y \
  && axel -n 4 --output=mullvad.deb https://mullvad.net/download/app/deb/latest \
  && sudo gdebi --non-interactive mullvad.deb \
  && sudo rm mullvad.deb
Copy to clipboard
