Proton VPN just shipped a major update for its Linux application, and the details reveal more than a routine patch cycle. The release — version 4.9 — replaces the app’s underlying network management layer entirely, swapping out the old NetworkManager-based approach for a custom-built connection backend the company calls Native Connector.
