VPN Control Install Files

Version: 2.0.16

Install files are available from the latest GitHub Release. In an installed app, open the settings menu and choose Update to download and install the compatible package.

User documentation includes optional features such as SSH Routing and the Linux headless service.

Artifacts can include SHA256SUMS.txt checksum files where the packaging workflow produces them.

Platform	GitHub Location	File To Use
Windows	Releases -> latest release	.msi or .exe
Android	Releases -> latest release	.apk
Linux	Releases -> latest release	.deb, .rpm, or the Arch update bundle
macOS	Releases -> latest release	.dmg

Windows

Use:

vpn-control-windows-x86_64-v<version>.exe

Install by double-clicking it. For VPN mode on Windows, launch VPN Control as Administrator.

Android

Use:

vpn-control-android-arm64-v<version>.apk

Install on a connected phone with:

adb install -r vpn-control-android-arm64-v<version>.apk

Release APKs use the project's stable signing key so later versions can update in place and retain Android app data.

Linux

Use one package:

*.deb
*.rpm

Install DEB:

sudo apt install ./*.deb

Install RPM:

sudo dnf install ./*.rpm

After installation, launch:

vpn-control

For Arch Linux, the repo also includes this local installer script:

scripts/arch_install.sh

Installed Arch copies can use the in-app updater, which downloads the release update bundle and preserves ~/.vpn-control-desktop.

macOS

Use:

*.dmg

Install by opening the DMG and dragging VPN Control to Applications.

Note: macOS packaging exists, but full desktop VPN mode is not implemented yet.
