VPN Gateway on Linux

I would like to give Mozilla VPN a try. But, I want to set it up as a whole home VPN by setting it up as a gateway on a Linux PC. I recently did this with PIA. It was easy to set up. It is also all command line, which I like because I can set it up as a service to be started on boot. It also uses iptables to prevent Internet access when/if the VPN is unavailable. I find command line services easier to administer.

Is this something that I can do with Mozilla VPN? If not now, is it something that I can look forward to? I just realized how slow PIA is. So, I am looking for something faster. My account with PIA doesn't expire until the Spring, so I can wait.

Thanks.

Hello!

Mozilla VPN isn't yet available for Linux. We are working hard to get the Linux version released soon. We don't have a concrete timeline but if you sign up for the wait-list here: https://vpn.mozilla.org/vpn/invite you will receive an email when it is available. Sorry for the inconvenience. We can’t wait to make it available to you soon.

Regards,

Thanks. I marked it as the chosen solution. While it’s not really a solution, it is the answer. I had already read that Linux wasn’t supported, but I wasn’t clear if that meant in the browser, the command line or both.
