How to connect a Linux computer

Installing the ResetVPN app on Linux from a .deb or .rpm package, signing in and connecting.

There is a ResetVPN app for Linux — .deb and .rpm packages for 64-bit (x86-64) computers. You don't need to copy any subscription link into it: sign in to your account and your subscriptions appear on their own.

How to connect#

  1. Download the package from resetvpn.com/download (opens in a new tab), Linux card: the "Download" button gives the .deb for Ubuntu, Debian and Mint; the .rpm for Fedora and openSUSE is in the "Other versions" list.

  2. Install it with your package manager, for example:

    bash
    sudo apt install ./resetvpn_amd64.deb
    sudo dnf install ./resetvpn_x86_64.rpm
  3. Log out and log back in. The package grants the app the rights it needs and adds you to the resetvpn group: only group members can connect, and group membership takes effect after you log in again.

  4. Start ResetVPN from the app menu or with the resetvpn command and sign in with the same account you use on the website: email and password, "Continue with Google" or "Continue with Telegram".

  5. Click "Connect".

If the app says "VPN access needed", your user isn't in the resetvpn group (for example, the computer has several users). Run sudo usermod -aG resetvpn $USER, then log out and log back in.

You can also go without an account: "Continue without an account" → paste your subscription link. In this mode only connecting works. More on the sign-in options: How to sign in to the ResetVPN app.

Using another app#

If the download page has no package for your computer, any Linux app that supports the VLESS Reality protocol and adding a subscription by link will do. Click "Connect" on your subscription, or copy the link and add it to the app as a subscription.

"Overview" → your subscription card: "Connect", or the copy icon next to the "Subscription link" field.

If it doesn't work#

The VPN engine lacks permissions

Reinstall the .deb or .rpm package — it grants those rights itself. Other errors are covered in ResetVPN on Linux: installing and common problems.

No subscriptions after signing in

Make sure you signed in to the account that holds the subscription. Subscriptions from the Telegram bot show up after you sign in with Telegram or link Telegram to your account.
