  1. Autologin of purevpn cli

    The whole point of using the purevpn cli is to allow automation for vpn connection.
    At the moment it's not possible to do so because we have to enter manually username and password each time.
    We need some ways to feed those two information to purevpn -li command

  4. Allow connection to a dedicated IP

    When you buy an dedicated IP package you cannot connect to it via the linux app, and my current router doesnt allow PPTP passthrough so I cant manually connect either.

  6. We cannot choose a server, just a country.

    I get a security alert with my google account because a different IP server address seems to be a new computer connection.
    I would like to be always connected to the same PureVpn server.

  8. expand the CLI capabilities for login. Similar to mySQL -u <user> -p <password>

    This will allow for easier scripting of the VPN in startup or shell scripts

  9. Order the list of server locations by ping speed test (the fastest first).

    the command purevpn -l shows the list of servers locations. It would be great if this list can be sorted accordingly to the speed of the ping test as in the windows app. That way you can infer which server are the fastest regarding with your own location.

  12. CLI command(s) to view and select specific cities.

    We already have -l / --location to see the available countries but it would be nice to be able to choose the specific city to connect to.

  13. Distribute Linux app as a flatpak

    It is no question that Linux users love choice, and some of the best distributions do not easily support .deb or .rpm packages. Namely, Gentoo, Arch, Void, NixOS, and Clear Linux. These are all unique distros that I like to use, and they all use various packaging methods. Luckily, flatpak is supported on all of them (see https://flatpak.org/setup/).

    Please add flatpak as a package format for the Linux client, whether it is the current command-line version or a future GUI version. This would be incredibly helpful for so many users that use distributions other than Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, or…

  14. BUG: Connecting to country does not work on Linux cli

    When I select Australia in the Linux Client on Ubuntu, I get connected to
    IPv4: 27.50.73.123
    ISP: ServersAustralia
    Services: Network Sharing Device
    City: Inveresk
    Region: Scotland
    Country: United Kingdom

    Which is obviously not in Australia. It would be very helpful to have the option to select a specific city as you can on Windows. It seems like the "fastest" server is chosen automatically. for some reason you think this server is in Australia, so it will always be the fastest when connecting from Europe. This doesnt seem to be an issue for other countries like New Zealand or Vietnam, but…

  16. Ubuntu not reflecting connection status

    It's probably an ubuntu problem, but the connection status is not displaying correctly in the status box in the upper right of ubuntu. When I check status is says vpn off and would not start, however on the command line it displays that I am connected. Thanks for your help logging in, I forgot to provide purevpn at the beginning of my username and couldn't log in, chat line was awesome and pretty quick to provide what I needed

  17. Include ping test function into linux command line app

    I know linux users are still a minority but if you could include the ping test function (as in andoid) into the command line app then that's probably all what's needed. The linux community is well experienced and can write theire own scripts around your command line tool or even create a GUI frontend for it.
