-## Important information

Where possible, we recommend that you [upgrade to the official app](https://protonvpn.com/support/linux-vpn-setup/).

+## Deprecation notice
+Proton VPN is upgrading its OpenVPN infrastructure. This means the legacy OpenVPN configuration will stop working on 31 March 2025. After this date, you’ll need to switch to the [official Proton VPN for Linux app](https://protonvpn.com/support/linux-vpn-setup/), or reconfigure [OpenVPN](https://protonvpn.com/support/vpn-config-download/) or [WireGuard](https://protonvpn.com/support/wireguard-configurations/) manually.
