Install Instructions: 1 Command
Our VPN Install is 1 Command.
Keep Existing VPN?
You can keep your existing systemwide VPN on if you like.
Step 1: Get It
This command fetches the newest version:
curl -O -J https://api.simplifiedprivacy.is/api/v1/platforms/linux-x86_64/appimage-versions/latest/Simplified_Privacy-x86_64.AppImage
AppImage
We made it an AppImage so it could run without sudo privileges and be directly distributed by us. However, it requires certain systemwide pre-requisites to function. We give you the 1 command to easily install these.
Verify
To verify it, run this command:
shasum -a 256 [filename]
Should spit out this for version: 1.1.9:
c1cb64e684ed4092f6686962026f05f6fbbfce5489dec496a7d9d3780cf91dd3
Sudo ?!
If you copy-paste a single command to your own terminal to install the pre-reqs, then this means you’re trusting your package manager, instead of trusting a new thing.
Browser-only Profiles:
No Sudo Required
System-wide VPN:
Requires Sudo to Connect, like any WireGuard VPN would. But no Sudo to Install/Setup
Pre-Reqs:
These pre-req packages (from your own package manager) are not going to screw up your system, and they won’t even be used if you stop using our VPN. Just because you install a low level prereq, doesn’t mean it ever activates. They take up barely any space, and have no real downside. If you decide to stop using our service, you can purge the pre-reqs using your package manager later.
Debian
This includes Debian 12, Ubuntu, Mint, PopOS, Zorin, and any other Debian based distro.
sudo apt install -y bubblewrap iproute2 microsocks proxychains4 ratpoison tor wireguard xserver-xephyr resolvconf

Arch

Pacman doesn’t have ratpoison, you could try yay:
sudo yay -S ratpoison
Or get ratpoison from the AUR:
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/ratpoison.git
cd ratpoison
makepkg -si –skippgpcheck
